Orkut in news again for bad !!!

Recently i wrote an article on Orkut sometime used for good too....!!!, It does not last long... Orkut is again news for bad...!!!

It is not because of Orkut. It is just the general issue with Internet and Web 2.0. It is about freedom of speech. People can express it in many ways like blogging about anything they like, don't like, discussing in forums...etc.,

Increasing technologies allow the people to interact more with other people who has similar thoughts can discuss about it. They can be friends also. It happens through Social networking which is very famous in recent days which is very much visible from the growth of Orkut, Myspace, Friendster..etc,

Here we go about couple of recent news...

From SDA Asia Magazine,
The Indian government is examining a proposal to slap restrictions on the networking website Orkut following a complaint from Shiv Sena, which found some adverse comments against its chief Bal Thackeray on the portal.

"We are examining the request from Maharashtra police (with whom Shiv Sena has filed the complaint) from all angles. We may take a few days to reach a solution," Controller of Certifying Authority (CCA) N Vijayaditya, whose division is looking into the issue, said.

As everybody knows Govt. have not yet given any order to block Orkut issue yet. But the local police people in Mumbai tells cybercafes to block the Orkut... You can see it in the following Article,
Cyber cafes across Mumbai and Thane have blocked Orkut and their owners blame policemen for it rather than the Shiv Sena. The party alleges that the site has unacceptable content about Chhatrapati Shivaji and Bal Thackeray. Yet, when asked, cyber café owners claim that it is the police that have asked them to block Orkut.

“The cops came here and asked us to block Orkut,” is the standard reply cyber cafe owners give whenever a customer complains that the website is inaccessible.

It looks like Shiv Sena Rules the Police. Let us wait and see the Orkut Death or Growth..lol

E-Waste?

I'm very proud to participate in Blog Action day. I always had thoughts in my mind about environment in the blog. Thanks to http://www.blogactionday.org for providing me this great opportunity. OK. Let us talk about E-Waste. Being an Indian, I'll talk about What is it all about? and what is the status of it in India? Obviously my first reference about this in Wiki, "Electronic waste includes computers , entertainment electronics , mobile phones and other items that have been discarded by their original users. " Due to lack of time.. I just introduce you guys a web-site http://toxicslink.org/ which has so many articles about the environment... I request all of my readers to read and understand and think ourselves to take necessary steps. If i get time I'll post more about E-Wastes and Environment based articles more.

Blogspot's blog posts archived before WWW created... lol

Haha... Isnt it really funny. While browsing, i came across some of the blog posts archived even before WWW(World Wide Web) created... You can look at the screenshots in the left and right hand side. I'm just wondering how Google's blogger allowed to have such things...? Is it really possible to pre-post the blogs even before the WWW & Blog was created? It left me to research when was really WWW created? I just searched on Wiki, to get the answer.., From Wiki, "...The World Wide Web was created in 1989 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee from England , and Robert Cailliau from Belgium , working at CERN in Geneva , Switzerland ..." Hope Wiki is not lying to me... ;-) . Hmm... So i thought Blog must be created after WWW was created... I guess you might be guessing the same.. some research vaguely shows, from wiki, Usenet was the primary serial medium included in the original definition of the World Wide Web .
