What is a weblog?

“A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically—like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly—from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction.”

- The Blogger.com site

“Weblogs are often-updated sites that point to articles elsewhere on the web, often with comments, and to on-site articles.”

– Dave Winer



History of weblogging

* One could consider the “what’s new” pages at CERN, NCSA, and Netscape in the early 1990’s to be the first weblogs.

* The term weblog originated in late 1997, there were only a couple dozen such sites then.

* Radio, Blogger, LiveJournal services sprang up during the 1999-2001 dot-com boom.

* 2002-2003 brings war-blogs, mainstream media blogs, mo-blogging, and political campaign blogs.

Indian men's hockey team fail to make it to Beijing Olympics

Great Britain shut the Olympic door on India's face as two quick strikes in the first 10 minutes of the final qualifier game here spelt disaster for the Indian hockey team that will now sit out the Olympic Games for the first time since 1928.
With the Olympic qualification boiling down to one final game Sunday, India failed to rise to the occasion. India had earlier lost to Great Britain 2-3 in the league phase.
Great Britain struck in the fourth minute through Barry Middleton and six minutes later Richard Mantell made it 2-0. Britain was then content to hold on to the lead as the Indians failed to breach the rival's citadel.
As the game ended, it marked the first time the eight-time Olympic gold medallists in hockey will stay out of the Olympic Games. India won the Olympic hockey gold six times in a row from 1928 to 1956. They lost the final in 1960, but regained the gold in 1964 at Tokyo. In 1968 and 19672 India failed to reach the final, but returned with bronze medals. In the truncated Olympics in 1980, India won the gold one last time. Since then India has failed to make the semi-finals and this time India failed to make it to the tournament at all.
Within minutes of the defeat, which will surely go down as one of the darkest chapters in Indian hockey, coach Joaquim Carvalho announced that he was going to step down along with his assistants Mohinder Pal Singh and Ramesh Parameswaran.
Under scorching sun in the Chilean summer, the Indians wilted without a serious challenge and as the clock ticked away they turned desperate and nervous. They squandered many chances and then became reckless, committing fouls, which twice resulted in them being reduced to 10 men in the second half.

TCS asks 500 employees to leave

India’s leading software services firm Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) said Tuesday that about 500 of its employees were asked to look for another job after their performance was rated poorly.

“Those who cannot meet the performance requirements of our company were asked to look for another job commensurate with their abilities,” TCS spokesman Pradipta Bagchi said here.

In the quarter ended Dec 31, TCS appointed 4,037 employees, taking its total headcount to 108,229, up from 83,500 a year ago.

The export-driven software services companies have been winning large outsourcing contracts from western clients, but recession fears in the US and a rising rupee against the dollar has considerably affected their profit margins in the recent past.

Great inspiration thanx god for whtever u r........

No Leg, No hand..................... No worries......


Great morale story


Never think about what you don't have
Think about what you can make with what you have

Friends we should learn a lot from the below mail……..

Be positive always…..

You will achieve your
goalssurely……




My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts
around the world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth 'defect'.
As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.


'Consider it pure joy, my Brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds.'









'And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him.' That verse spoke to my heart and
convicted me to the point where that
I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these 'bad' things happen in our life.


I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.
I am now twenty-three years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting.
I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available.
I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers.
I am also a speaker in the corporate sector
.




I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do,
and wherever He leads, I follow.

I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness
I can be of God's Love and Hope ,
to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues.
I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments,
to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my
story on the ' Oprah Winfrey Show '!
Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year.
It will be called 'No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!'


?

?

The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability,
concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without Him.
Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!

*THIS CHALLENGING MESSAGE IS GOING AROUND THE WORLD




What ever be your situation in your life be thankful to GOD till the END......



God Bless You All.......
