Google Panda, the New Yardstick for Web Population

Many people are still quite unfamiliar with what exactly the Google Panda is all about. It is fair if they don’t earn their daily bread from the Internet, but for those who do, it is an utter necessity, especially if they are running small business website. Let us get a feel of it.

Google Panda, since its arrival, changed the SEO angle of getting the web traffic to a particular site all together. The ranking system of Google is quite simple; it tests the algorithm of the site and then ranks it according to the authenticity. But earlier the parameter was different; Google didn’t seem to mind the idea of backlinking or affiliate marketing. But the advent of the Panda completely changed the scenario.
At the present moment the Panda looks for a certain set of other things for a site and does not pay that much of heed on the backlinking. That certain set of things include quality content, greater interaction with the readers, no duplicity or plagiarism, less advertisement, higher conversion rates, good and grammatically correct use of language.Let’s concentrate on how does the Google Panda (which has been named after the name of the engineer Navneet Panda) work. The panda has been built via an algorithm that uses artificial intelligence in a more dexterous way than it was done previously. The set of software rate the websites on the quality front and also on the authenticity front. The meaning in a nutshell is that those who want to get thick traffic on their sites must abide by the strict yardstick of the Google panda.

Some people think it to be a draconian entity whereas other folks take it as the victory of the honest web population, especially the ethical bloggers. But one thing is for sure that it has changed several things, for good or for bad,that remains to be a question of contention.

Nokia in collaboration with the British service provider Vodaphone will try to attract the users through attractive data offers.

As far as the handset is concerned, it looks to be a good thing from the very outset. It is a QWERTY and touch handset of 2.6 inches, which runs Symbian Series 40 operating system.
As far as the processing capacity of the handset is concerned it has a 1GHz processor that is seconded by a 128MB RAM. And in the storage capacity, the handset sports a 170MB of space. As far as the memory expansion is concerned the handset offers you a 32GB expansion via microSD card. The eye catching factor in this handset is the 1300 mAh battery, which is capable of giving the user a talk time of 8 hours and 10 minutes. It gives a huge standby time of 30 days.

Talking about the display of the Nokia Asha 303, it has a TFT capacitive screen, which supports 256k colors and the pixel resolution is 320x240 that makes the ppi 154. It has a 3.2 MP fixed focus camera but there is no secondary camera on offer.

For the net buffs, it has flash support and for those who relish social networking it has pre-loaded Facebook, Twitter, and Orkut clients. It too has push mail with attachments. One thing that will please the ears the most is that it has support for Internet calls (VoIP).
It is not sure that how well the Nokia Asha will fare in the market; but one thing is pretty conspicuous that it is worth for your money and will not let your expectation down.

Nokia Lumia 610: The Youngest Member of the Lumia Family

At this year’s Mobile World Congress, the Finnish handset maker Nokia announced the Nokia Lumia 610, which happens to be the youngest and the cheapest member of the Lumia family. Nokia Lumia 610 has been fathomed by many trade pundits as the company’s effort to induce the younger generation. It will hit the retail shop shelves 30% cheaper than the Nokia Lumia710, which until now was the cheapest Lumia.


The handset Lumia 610 is pretty similar to the Lumia 710, of course there are small differences but there are more similarities than differences. The processor of the handset is a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 7227A, which happens to be a single core one and has a clock speed of 800 MHz, whereas the clock speed of the Lumia 710 is 1400 MHz. Similarly the RAM of the 610 is 256MB but the same of the 710 is 512 MB.

The storage capacity of the Lumia 610 is 8GB, which is same as that of Lumia 710, and there is no card slot on offer. But the company has tried to make up for that as there is SkyDrive storage available on the handset. The camera feature on both the Lumias is the same; 8MP rear camera with no camera on the front.

As far as the display is concerned the Lumia 610, like the 710, offers you the 3.7 inch screen, which happens to be a TFT LCD with 480x800 p resolution that makes the ppi 252p/inch. And yes, there is corning gorilla glass to protect your handset from accidental scratches.

Now, the battery and battery backup segment: the Nokia Lumia 610 has a standard Li-Ion battery, which will be giving you a 10.5 hours talk time and 670 hours standby time on the 2G network.

In the connectivity and data segment, it has Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, EDGE, GPRS class 10, HSDPA, HSUPA and USB 2.0 connection. As far as browser is concerned it has HTML 5. Acting as a Wi-Fi hotspot, it can connect upto 5 devices.

The new age social networking buffs will also not get disappointed as it has people hub, which is comprised of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email, Chat, SMS, and Groups. Other apps include Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps, Nokia Transit, and App Highlights.

It has a dimension of 119.2x62.2x12mm. The Nokia Lumia 610 weighs around 131.5g, and that for a 3.7 inch handset is a good thing if not feather light.

Seems to be a mouth watering prospect, but how much substance is there to back the anticipation? Let’s wait and watch.
