YourVersion - Discovering your Interests
A collator of personalized web content. YourVersion is supposedly "the best\t way to discover new and relevant content tailored to your interests". Searching everything from videos to blogs, Tweets to websites, and products to news, YourVersion can be your daily source of customized content. Called a "Real-time Discovery Engine" bye the company. YourVersion gives you real-time results/updates not based on your specific interests. It is also significantly different from an RSS reader because it does not rely on your subscriptions to display content, but instead, compiles content real-time based on your interests.
YourVersion has a simple and uncluttered interface. Simply feed in your "interests" when signing up (you can add/delete new interests at any time). and find your real-time listings of the latest relevant content that is filtered by one or all interests. Have a slow Internet connection? Then click on "Condensed View" for an even simpler text-based listing interface.
You can bookmark interesting content on the site itself, and return to it simply and easily, whenever you want. You can also allow the site to auto-organise pages by interest. Sharing is especially easy on YourVersion, allowing for facebook, Twitter, and email-based sharing options, right on the listing page itself. You can also give a thumb rating to each article/piece of content.
Other interesting application of YourVersion are the iPhone app and mobile site, as well as the easy-to use firefox toolbar. For sign-up you can also do it with your Twitter accout.
The site was launched in September 2009 and has won numerous awards at prestigious events.

Dlvr.it - Distribute your blog to twitter, facebook and more.
Whenever I post anything to my blog I always link it to my facebook and twitter account. It is little slow to log in to the accounts and publish it. So recently I have tried this application called dlvr.it. It is a free application that lets you publish your posts to your facebook, twitter and other accounts. I will let you know more after this.
Post Update: When I posted this post and checked on my twitter page there was no tweet about the post available on my blog. So I logged on to my dlvr.it account then checked my twitter page; it showed my post then. At last dlvr.it works. Must had been an error or my misjudgement for it not showing my post at first. Anyway I will be using it for quite a while now.
Post Update:Now anyway dlvr.it works fine. Whenever I post new posts then it delivers it automatically which is what it is supposed to do. The previously informed problem would never have existed as dlvr.it might have taken some time to post on twitter and facebook.

Live your life and let others live!(in harmony)
“I'm done tryin' to please, I ain't livin' for tabloids, I am living for me,” the 16-year-old singer and star of Disney's hit TV show Hannah Montana sang in a “Goodbye Twitter” rap posted on YouTube.
Cyrus, a busy Tweeter with a following of more than one million people, made headlines on last Thursday by suddenly quitting Twitter, a popular microblogging site which lets users from celebrities to businesses and politicians post messages .
“The rumors are true, I deleted my Twitter,” she sang, saying she had started “tweeting about pimples”, had stopped “living for moments” and instead had “started living for people.” “Everything that I type, Everything that I do, some gossip site makes it news,” she added. This mess in her life is unbearable for her and only found quitting twitter is the right way. However not long after she quit the fans chanted to re-open her twitter account and you will see how much it will last. Any way living a public life where others get to know what ever you do for entertainment must have been difficult. At last let it give me some guts to remove my facebook account.

Twitter not just a blog(or micro-blog)!!
With more and more people signing on to Twitter, and as it continues to get more attention in the media (both through news stories and as celebrities begin to embrace the channel as a way to connect to their fans and followers), the channel and communication is moving well beyond tweets like, "just ate a hoagie," and more into the role of problem solver.
So much for lots of twitting, it has made it useful as a search engine, though a less hickup for google. It really is a kind of search engine that gets you the real time results from the world. Just search something you want to search in google. From TVs to dogs, love to divorce every thing can be flashed from the real time results.
"Umm I can't write good long words, can I? My words just gets boring as it goes long." Huh! thats twitted.
