RSS April 28, 2010

RSS is another good tool to play with. I didn't have any problem in adding a feed to my Bloglines using the second way. It was very easy and not time consuming. I didn't have patience with the first method, because I always try to find the easiest way. And actually YAHOO (which I use at home) sindicates the most visited websites for me (I used the term customized). I'm a subsriber to Good Reads, so book review sindication is very helpful.

Google Universe April 21, 2010

Google Universal April 21, 2010 1. Amazing how little I've used Google before (I thought I did know it very well, probably as well as many others, because we used it on an every day basis). My favourite Google product is Google translate. The phrase "then the next speaker took the floor" was translated into Russian absolutely correctly (normally figurative expressions are the most difficult ones to translate). I would certainly recommend it to my friends. 2. Aardvark is another one that can be recommended to use, especially for travel tips. The answer to my question came in a few seconds. 3. Google Chrom is very easy to use if you are looking for interesting books, magazines etc. 4. I didn't quite like Script Converter because phonetic equivalent in the desired script doesn't always convey the exact title of the website or it's difficult to read it. (Again I'm speaking about conversion from English into Russian. The Reverse conversion is even more difficult).

On the one hand it's good to socialize with your friend, especially if they live in different counties. It was good to see pictures of my friends and friends of their friends, but I'm concerned about my privacy. And even though I put as little information as I could I don't feel secure.

What is the smallest primate?

Wikipedia reads:

The smallest primate is the Mouse Lemur, Microcebus murinus. Males and females both weigh about 60 grams (about 2 ounces).

The article was edited:

The smallest true primate ( excluding tree shrews, which are normally classified separately) is the pygmy mouse lemur (Microcebus myoxinus,) dicovered in the deciduous forests of western Madagascar in 1993. It has a head-and-body length of about 2.4 in (62 mm), and a tail length of 5.4 in (136 mm), and an average weight of 1.1. oz (30.6g)
