Gmail Killer by Facebook :P

Great!
While every attempt to kill (nah, say challenge) Facebook  fails,  Facebook has "@facebook.com" Email service activated...

And it is not yet named Gmail killer.

Now we need one more oxymoron thing:
Android phone with facebook logo+FBapplications, where everything will be FB.
Nah, facebook will create a phone platform by itself.
You're welcome!

By the way, I am more interested in the internet after Facebook...

Nepali Twitter Kanda

http://bit.ly/e0NpVm
First, one should appreciate the idea of doing something new. It was a good attempt by Kantipur to bridge to gap between the offline-online connections. However, I have to say the following...

If a person is standing on a chowk and saying out loud random 140 characters. What would the passer-by learn? They might eventually name that person a mad-man.
Publication of twitters without context can be regarded as similar stunt.

----
Second, napaune-le ke payo bokra samma chapayo. Twitter is not for backbiting. One has to be aware of the consequences of throwing stuffs into the air. They might come back to hunt you. If anything can not be said in public, and defended; well put it in a diary.

It is certainly encouraging that Nepali tweepals are   learning to navigate the twitter space by poking around. Most of them are @personal-level communication and might not be relevant to the public. Yet, it happens as @mention; not as personal messages in inbox. (This is the changing horizon of communication medium.)

---
If all you have is a hammer, everything you see is a nail. This is true on both sides. On both sides, there seem to be lack of understanding of the responsibility that came with the power of broadcasting.

---
Now (hopefully) that we have learned the lesson, lets move forward.

Having Nepali flag on the Blog

I love my country's flag. So does everyone else.
The specialty of the flag being the fact that it is the only triangular flag in the world.
Whenever I go to international gatherings, I can see people being excited to meet with a people from Nepal. The concept is that Nepal is very very hilly and that I have come from very remote place of the world. Well, yes and no!

We have been kept at distance from the rest of the world in terms of development and technology. BUT however, we have been trying to creep out such differences.

I always feel glad to explain the meaning of my flag.
The Triangle shape represents the mountains, the blue border represents the peace and red color signifies the love. The sun and moon are indicators of time and the overall theme runs something like this...
Our mountainous country will exist with peace and love forever: whenever there are sun and moon in the sky.
NEPAL: Never Ends Peace and Love.

Well, the recent situation may not be great enough, but I can not prevent myself from bearing the pride of being a Nepali.
