How to increase twitter follower
Hello Blogger are you ready to increase your Twitter follower, if yes then proceed to read the post.
Twitter is one of the most popular, useful and unique type of social networking site.Twitter is useful
for all , celebrities use it to share there views with their follower , companies use it for advertising
their sales and product, news and media use it to spread latest news , event etc and they have large
no. of follower.But what about common people like you me or someone else, for us also its very
useful site someone use it to follow their favourite celebrities, companies and someone use it to get
updated by latest news,event,product etc and they doesn't have much follower .
So for common people here is a way of increasing their follower. If you use twitter for gathering
follower or advertising purpose then this is perfect for you, but if you use twitter for news and
updates or follows only specific people just like me then,I personally recommend don't use this why?
first you read then I explain it at last.
2. After creating account go to unfollowers.me and register your twitter account here.
3. Unfollowers.me is just a website where you track who follows you and who unfollows you, but its
milestone feature is that you can follow the people who already register in them and they follow you
back.
4. In this website go to the Explorer option on list at top of the website.
5. In Explore option you find there is many people account categories by interest and by following
them you get specified point from that people.
6. Now here you do two things
i) Choose any specific interest section and Follows those people.
ii) Or randomly select the people in any interest and follow them.
The people you can follow they follow you back. Means , if you can follow 50 people then you get 50
follower.But its not always works sometimes you can follow 50 people and only 30 will follow you back
In this case just waiting for 2 days if they not follows you yet then unfollows those how not follows
you back and that hows this website works.
7. You can follow the people in Twitter from unfollowers.me website and they must follows you
back(80%) and if someone not follows you back or unfollow you after following you can just
unfollow them.
8. At one time a day you can check the unfollowers.me website where you can easily find
i) Recently your follower
ii) Recently who unfollows you
iii)People who you follow don't follow you back.
Go to the "People who you follow don't follow you back" option the and if you want you can
unfollows those who don't follow you back and same thing to do for going "Recently who unfollows
you" option.
9. From unfollowers.me website you can follow maximum 100 people/day and maximum of them will
follow you back , if they not then you wait 1 day and at last you go to the option
"People who you follow don't follow you back" and unfollow them.
10. You follow those people who follows you. And check the regular chart on unfollowers.me and
you easily manage your whole Twitter account from unfollowers.me.
me,I will follow you back" and "You not follow me , I will also not follow you" .
Unfollowers.me is a website which join by those people who interest to gather followers , so thats why
you also join it. It means all user of Unfollowers.me want bunch of follower in any cost so when you follow any user of this website then its 85% sure they will follow you back because they want follower and they will know that if they not follow you back you also unfollow them and thats how its work, but 15% exception comes when you follow somebody which already has large no. of follower and they wouldn't want to follow you back , In this case you simply unfollow them .
Whenever you join this site you get "20 points" which is shown right side of website in green rectangle background. When you go to the Explorer option you will find that every user who listed have some
follower points which write in their follow green button like " + Follow 2 points" its means you get 2
points from respective user when you follows them , but if the user follows you back you doesn't get
these point means you get either 2 points or 1 follower . Simply when anybody follow you some point
will deducted and when you follows that guy then your points will safe .
How large is your point,that large no. of follower you get.You also buy points from Unfollowers.me
wedsite,but it doesn't recommend by me.

How its work
Two basic working principle of the unfollowers.me "I will follow you, you will follow me Or You followme,I will follow you back" and "You not follow me , I will also not follow you" .
Unfollowers.me is a website which join by those people who interest to gather followers , so thats why

will deducted and when you follows that guy then your points will safe .
How large is your point,that large no. of follower you get.You also buy points from Unfollowers.me
wedsite,but it doesn't recommend by me.
Conclusion
If you are getting confused then flush you confusion just do this join Unfollowers.me website , go to
Explorer option and start following people keep it in mind you have a limits 100 people/day, how
much people you can following that much follower you get , regularly unfollow those whose don't
follow you back ,also follow those who follows you. Regularly check your stats on Unfollowers.me.
If you use twitter to catch the latest activities news etc or
following only specific people then I doesn't recommend
this way to increase follower because after reading this
post you are now know how its works, so when start following
users from Unfollowers.me then your following people list increase with full of random people and your tweet deck is
full with random tweets and your useful tweet by your
favourites or specific people is missing in these tweets.
So if you are ready to compromising with that then you
use this if not then not use this unnecessarily your following
list will increases.

Indian-American teen invents 20-second charger
Now mobile get charge in less then 20 sec ,its sound weird but true. An 18-year-old Indian-American girl has invented a super-capacitor device that could potentially charge your cellphone in less than 20 seconds.
Eesha Khare, from Saratoga, California, was awarded the Young Scientist Award by the Intel Foundation after developing the tiny device that fits inside mobile phone batteries, that could allow them to charge within 20-30 seconds.

The so-called super-capacitor, a gizmo that can pack a lot of energy into a tiny space, charges quickly and holds its charge for a long time.According to Khare, her device can last for 10,000 charge-recharge cycles, compared with 1,000 cycles for conventional rechargeable batteries.
The gadget has so far only been tested on an LED light, but the good news is that it has a good chance of working successfully in other devices, like mobile phones.

India's Economy 2013
Indian economy is likely to grow at 6.4 per cent rate in 2013, outpacing the 6 per cent expansion in developing Asia-Pacific economies in the same period, a United Nations report on Thursday said.
"India is expected to recover from its relatively low 5 per cent growth in 2012 to 6.4 per cent in 2013...Economic growth in the developing countries of Asia and the Pacific is projected to inch up to 6 per cent in 2013," United Nations' Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2013 said.
Unveiling the report here, Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) Chairman C Rangarajan said: "India's economic growth in 2013-14 will be better than 2012-13, but will be lower than the pre-crisis level. We need to organise ourselves to go back to pre-crisis level of growth rate."
According to International Monetary Fund ( IMF), Indian economy is projected to grow by 5.7 per cent in 2013 calendar year. Economic growth in FY'13 is expected to be at decade low of 5 per cent due to global slowdown, according to estimates.
In the Budget, Finance Minister P Chidambaram had said the government was targeting a growth of 6.1-6.7 per cent for the current fiscal.
From a high over 9 per cent GDP growth for many years prior to the 2008 crisis, the economy grew 6.5 per cent last year and is projected by analysts to slow down further to a decadal low of 5.5 per cent or even lower this fiscal.
Meanwhile, the increase in economic growth of the developing Asia-Pacific nations to 6 per cent in 2013 from 5.6 per cent in 2012 is partly due to an expected improvement in global demand arising from steady, although sub-par, growth in the United States and a limited rebound in the performance of major emerging economies, the UN report added.
Growth in China is forecast to reach 8 per cent in 2013, slightly up from 7.8 per cent in 2012. Republic of Korea's economic growth is forecast at 2.3 per cent in 2013 against 2 per cent in 2012. Economic growth in Singapore is forecast to be 3 per cent in 2013 from 1.3 percent in 2012.
In contrast, as a group, growth of Pacific island economies is projected to decelerate in 2013 due a sharp energy sector slowdown in Papua New Guinea, which is by far the largest Pacific island, the report said.
Meanwhile, talking about India's current account deficit (CAD) which has touched a record high of 6.7 per cent in the October-December quarter of last fiscal, Rangarajan said," I believe that macroeconomic stability is necessary pre-condition for faster economic growth. Keeping CAD at an appropriate level is extremely important."
Asked impact of falling commodity prices on India's economy, Rangarajan said: "In general, if commodity prices come down then it will be beneficial for countries like India."

Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" rock the world of desktop OS
The Ubuntu team is very pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 13.04 for Desktop, Server, Cloud, and Core products.
Codenamed “Raring Ringtail”, 13.04 continues Ubuntu’s proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. This release cycle has seen a significant push toward daily quality, which has allowed most developers and users to participate more actively throughout the cycle, and we feel this also shows in the final quality of this release.
Along with performance improvements to Unity, updates to common desktop packages, and updated core and toolchain components, Ubuntu 13.04 also includes the new Friends service, to consolidate all social networking accounts via Ubuntu Online Accounts. Also included is a tech preview of Upstart’s new user session feature.
Ubuntu 13.04 default desktop
To be fair, Ubuntu 13.04 is a good, solid release. It has a more finely tuned and polished Unity shell, with incremental improvements in the Linux kernel and in all the major preinstalled applications. But that's it —
no amazing new features. It even loses a couple of things: there's no ability to install the GNOME classic shell (unlike GNOME 3.8 which does offer a classic mode); and no WUBI (Windows-based UBuntu Installer).It is possible to install a GNOME 3 shell (version 3.6.3.1 at present) from the Ubuntu Software Centre, but if you don't like Unity, GNOME 3 may also not appeal, as you cannot even scale the size of its icons (or at least not without editing the gnome-shell.css file). Alternatively for GNOME die-hards there is now an official remix of Ubuntu, called GNOME Remix.
The GNOME 3.6 desktop, as installed on 13.04 from the Software Centre. 'Show Applications' has been selected, showing that the icon scale is rather larger than Unity's.
Arguably, 13.04 has lost three things because Gwibber, the social networking client, has gone too. The recent introduction of the Qt/QML application development toolkit prompted Gwibber's author to update and rewrite it. As part of that process, the application was renamed Friends and as it's not yet fully developed it's no longer part of the default installation set. You can install it separately from the Software Centre though.
.
Another casualty of Dash rationalisation: the drop-down
text navigation, hidden on the left-hand end of the
desktop bar in 12.10 (above), is now gone in 13.04.
What might have been: Smart Scopes
Early on in the development cycle, Mark Shuttleworth hinted at plans for some startling new features in Ubuntu 13.04. However, the only new feature that briefly surfaced was Smart Scopes, which promised to short-circuit the browser by extending the scope of the Dash search bar.So keen were Shuttleworth and the Ubuntu developers to include this feature in Raring Ringtail that a slip on the feature freeze date for the beta was authorised to try and accommodate it. This still wasn't enough time, however, and Smart Scopes are currently slated for Ubuntu 13.10.
Smart Scopes are designed to allow you to search for anything, anywhere (local or online) by entering a simple search term to the Dash search. The existing Dash scopes would remain the same (Home, Applications, Files, Music, Pictures and Video displayed as icons across the bottom of the Dash pane), but the Dash Filters are to be expanded with many further scope modifiers helping to increase the accuracy of the search. Online searches will be referred to a Canonical-maintained server using a learning algorithm (hence the 'smart') to refine searching.
Unity 7
In Unity 7 a new-look Nautilus file manager adds file operations icons in a bar above the folder and file window. This seems slightly at odds with the principle of the text drop-down menus for the current application always appearing at the top of the display in the desktop menu bar. The top-level text menu for navigation that used to appear in the desktop bar in 12.10 has now gone, so the only way to navigate to Computer, for example, is via the left-hand panel menu in Nautilus.
New file operations icons occupy a bar at the top of the Nautilus window.
New icons for Unity 7: the Software Centre icon and Software Updater icon now share an 'A' element and the predominantly orange theme with the existing Ubuntu One and Ubuntu One Music icons.
New icons for Unity 7: the Software Centre icon and Software Updater icon now share an 'A' element and the predominantly orange theme with the existing Ubuntu One and Ubuntu One Music icons.Apart from the changes to Nautilus and the new icons, many of the differences in Unity 7 are subtle and you might not notice them unless you were running two machines side by side performing the same tasks, one with Unity 7 and one with the previous version. These include: fuzzy search for application names in Dash; faster rolling reveal for launcher icons that overflow the bottom of the launcher bar; a further application-switching method using the mouse scroll wheel; and in the options list revealed by right-clicking on the applications launcher icons, if two instances of an application are open a dot appears next to the instance that has the focus.
Linux Kernel 3.8.0-19
Improvements to the Nouveau driver in the 3.8 kernel (the previous Ubuntu 12.10 release uses the 3.5 kernel) mean that 3D acceleration is now supported, for all of the GeForce graphics chips available so far, without the need for further configuration. However, better performance may still be achieved via Nvidia's proprietary driver. Intel graphics are also well supported.There are improvements to the file systems too, with support for Samsung's F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) and upgrades to the still-experimental Btrfs and Ext4.
Preinstalled applications
The preinstalled application on Ubuntu 13.04 are: LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 (office suite); Firefox 20.0 (browser); Thunderbird 17.0.5 (email client); Rythmbox 2.98 (music player); Shotwell 0.14.1 (photo manager); Remmina 0.9.99.1 (remote desktop client); and Brasero 5.6.1 (CD/DVD burner).
Better Social Media Integration
Ubuntu's Online Accounts preference pane has some handy new features. Now, when you add an account (like a Facebook or Twitter account), you can choose which apps on your system have access to it. Want Shotwell to access your Facebook photos, but don't want Empathy using it for Facebook chat? You can turn it off here with the flick of a switch.
The Dash also has a new Social lens (see the top image in this post), which allows you to see status updates from the friends you follow in your integrated social media apps. It also gives you notifications of new messages or mentions coming in, which is kind of cool.
What's next?
Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical have a stated goal of creating a platform-agnostic operating system — that is, an OS that will run on desktop PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones, all presenting the same user interface with touch support.Current plans indicate that operating system convergence is to occur with the release of Ubuntu 14.04, due on 24 April 2014. A number of consequences seem to be rippling back from this aim point as the Ubuntu developers get to grips with what will be necessary to achieve this convergence. I've mentioned plans to move from X Windows to the Wayland display server in previous Ubuntu release reviews. One result of the convergence plan is that Wayland has now been dropped in favour of Mir, Ubuntu's own display server, which is currently under development.
Another consequence is that some of the features that were to be included in 13.04 have been shelved in favour of presenting a polished and solid release, with most of the improvements residing behind the scenes. As a result, Raring Ringtail may seem a bit of a disappointment. Some new features should appear in October's 13.10 release, but you'll have to wait until 14.04 for the really big changes.

World's first smartphone for the blind, made in India
The world's first smartphone for blind people is here. Soon, they will be able to read SMSes and emails on this phone, which converts all text into Braille patterns.
"We have created the world's first Braille smartphone," says its innovator, Sumit Dagar, whose company is being incubated at the Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship, located in IIM Ahmedabad campus. "This product is based on an innovative 'touch screen' which is capable of elevating and depressing the contents it receives to transform them into 'touchable' patterns," he says.
Dagar, who is a post-graduate from the National Institute of Design (NID), says he was motivated to develop the device when he realised that so far, technology was only serving the mainstream and ignoring the marginalised. He is collaborating with IIT Delhi on making the prototype, which is currently being tested at L V Prasad Eye Institute in Hyderabad.
"The response during the test has been immense. It comes out as a companion more than a phone to the user. We plan to do more advanced versions of the phone in the future," Dagar adds.
Dagar started the project three years ago while studying interaction designing at NID. After working with a couple of companies, he gave up his job to concentrate on his technology, formed a team of six people and started his venture, Kriyate Design Solutions. Currently, the venture is being funded by Rolex Awards under its Young Laureates Programme, in which they select five people from across the world every two years and fund their projects.
How it works
The smartphone uses Shape Memory Alloy technology, based on the concept that metals remember their original shapes, i.e. expand and contract to its original shape after use.The phone's 'screen' has a grid of pins, which move up and down as per requirement. The grid has a Braille display, where pins come up to represent a character or letter.
This screen will be capable of elevating and depressing the contents to form patterns in Braille.
· All other elements are like any other smartphone.

Google+ Hangout is doing wonders !
Google+ Hangout is powering the education of underprivileged children in Indian cities of Kolhapur (Maharashtra) and Kolkata (West Bengal), where two NGOs are using the power of the Internet and virtual classrooms to conduct classes in English and Mathematics.
Kolhapur-based organisation Helpers of Handicapped (HoH), is using the web to provide quality education to about 500 underprivileged children. Through Google Hangout, the HoH school has connected to a school run for slum children in Kolkata, and to another school for the underprivileged in Ahmednagar.
The teachers are quite excited about the prospects of remote education and the excitement of the students is also quite understandable.
Thank you +Google+
