<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b>Situatie nu</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKJuQjemk1bwKAo4B_PuzGCqLB0Nn6K7KU4_BOZh8Hie_wKFwQkIi1LLSc6G2jDVRevRHmLy3eMWu5yIa2f6ZyT9jzJDEpwKytV4U6Ezg4d9ktgWatYAozG6GGHGc_NVFO0OuFZcYZtIJN/s1600/productaansprakelijkheid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="31" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKJuQjemk1bwKAo4B_PuzGCqLB0Nn6K7KU4_BOZh8Hie_wKFwQkIi1LLSc6G2jDVRevRHmLy3eMWu5yIa2f6ZyT9jzJDEpwKytV4U6Ezg4d9ktgWatYAozG6GGHGc_NVFO0OuFZcYZtIJN/s320/productaansprakelijkheid.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Vanwege productaansprakelijkheid dienen producenten bij te houden welke grondstoffen er gebruikt zijn, onder welke omstandigheden het geproduceerd is, wanneer het verscheept is etc. etc. Een heel gedoe, waarvoor omvangrijke IT systemen gebouwd zijn die kolossale database systemen veroorzaakten, waar backups van gemaakt moeten worden, die dan weer opgeslagen moeten worden in veilige omgevingen.<br />
<br />
En dit alles in de veronderstelling dat een product ook uniek identificeer is.<br />
Als er dan een klacht binnenkomt (of een claim) dan begon het arbeidsintensief naspeuren om de gegevens, die wel betrouwbaar en naspeurbaar moeten zijn, boven water te halen.<br />
<br />
<i>Wat wordt hier eigenlijk gedaan?</i><br />
Defensief model om eventuele aansprakelijkheden claims te pareren. HOGE kosten waarbij veel werk uiteindelijk niet echt gedaan hoeft te worden. Is er geen claim, dan is er immers geen behoefte om al dit soort handelingen te doen!<br />
<br />
<b>De toekomst</b><br />
Met de introductie van bijvoorbeeld RFID, zijn wij nu in staat om niet alleen een product uniek te identificeren, maar ook om gegevens toe te voegen. En dat biedt daarmee een mogelijkheid om dit probleem goed aan te pakken en op te lossen voor een fractie van de kosten.<br />
Alle relevante gegevens moeten wij niet opslaan in grote databases, maar toevoegen aan het product zelf.<br />
Als er dan iets is met een product, dan dient een eenvoudige uitlezing van de gegevens alle benodigde informatie op te leveren.<br />

Ik moest hieraan denken, toen ik vanmorgen een artikel las over goedkope wegwerp memories in Technology Review: <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/26826/?nlid=3843&a=f">"PARC readies printed electronics for market"</a><br />
Wegwerpopslag van gegevens is weer een stap dichterbij de volgende fase: De sprekende fles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>De sprekende fles</b><br />
Stel dat alle relevante gegevens in de verpakking zelf zit (bijvoorbeeld vastgelegd in de molecuulstructuur van het glas) dan kunnen er "opeens" heel verschillende dingen gaan gebeuren:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>De kosten voor gegevens opslag worden aanzienlijk lager.<br />
Producten kunnen goedkoper worden</li>
<li>Goedkope apparaten om informatie te lezen uit het product zelf</li>
<li>De consument kan zelf bekijken wat hij in huis haalt.<br />
Een uitlezing, gekoppeld aan bijvoorbeeld zijn eigen Medical Watcher (wat is goed voor mij, welke productingrediënten dien ik te vermijden) levert hem waardevolle informatie op.<br />
Zijn eigen Medical Watcher kan bijhouden wat precies in huis gehaald is (c.q. geconsumeerd is). Dat kan in voorkomende gevallen weer waardevolle informatie opleveren, bij het bepalen van een ziekte-oorzaak.</li>
<li>Het einde van een vaste prijs van een product.<br />
Afhankelijk van de kwaliteit van de grondstof, de kwaliteit van het productieproces, de kwaliteit van geconditioneerd vervoer, de versheid van het product etc. kan er een prijs gevraagd worden, die automatisch gegenereerd wordt op moment van afname.<br />
Een dag langer in de winkelschap of een verkeerde bewaartemperatuur, zal dan een prijsverlaging betekenen. De consument bepaalt zelf wat hij wil. Meer of minder betalen afhankelijk van de kwaliteit van het specifieke product wat hij in handen heeft.</li>
<li>Een gouden toekomst innovatie in de verpakkingsindustrie.<br />
<b><i>Smart material!</i></b></li>
<li>Productsamenstellings mogelijkheden<br />
Naast informatie over een product zelf, kan een winkel bijvoorbeeld samenstellingen per kwaliteitsniveau maken. Bijvoorbeeld gecumuleerde informatie van een aantal producten bij elkaar.<br />
"<i>Het beste kratje bier, wat wij in huis hebben!"</i></li>
</ul><br />

Before RSS, I patrolled the Web for news. Information didn’t exist until I found it. RSS let me identify people likely to write interesting things, and soon I stopped looking and switched to receiving. In this world, partial feeds were irritating, taking me out of my new pristine think tank and back to the hunt and peck methodology. Once back on the site, the goal was to keep me there, or link to partner sites.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">This disconnect drove me away from partial feeds and toward the new owners of the blogosphere — the deep information space of those feeds that respected the reader container.

Conventional ink on paper has a much higher brightness and black-and-white color contrast than electronic paper. The new display, made by researchers at the University of Cincinnati, in Ohio, is designed to match the brilliance and contrast of paper. "We've demonstrated a technology where you have the brightness of paper, and color has the same saturation that you expect from printed media," says electrical- and computer-engineering professor Jason Heikenfeld, who led the work, which was published in Nature Photonics.<br />The pixels also switch between black and white within one millisecond, making the technology suitable for video (LCDs currently switch in a few milliseconds). A slower refresh speed of tens to hundreds of milliseconds is one of the main issues plaguing current e-paper.</div><br /><div><br />So far, Heikenfeld and his colleagues have made rigid black-and-white displays that reflect 55 percent of ambient light--far more than any electronic-paper products currently on the market. White paper reflects 85 percent of ambient light, so it looks much brighter than Heikenfeld's system. But Heikenfeld says that the technology could be used to make full-color flexible plastic displays that have more than 60 percent brilliance, and higher-grade materials and manufacturing processes should eventually make his device almost as bright as white paper. </div><br /><div><em><a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/22545/?nlid=1979&a=f">Read rest of story >></a></em></div>Ary Stuifbergenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027796441503729123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942734150593553211.post-64294541773807382872009-04-22T15:45:00.002+02:002009-04-22T15:54:49.049+02:00Universities will be 'irrelevant' by 2020<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Source: Kurzweil twitter news (http://twitter.com/KurzweilAINews)</span></span><div><p>Universities will be irrelevant by 2020 in a world where students listen to free online lectures on iPods, course materials are shared between universities, science labs are virtual, and digital textbooks are free, says Brigham Young University professor of psychology and instructional technology David Wiley.</p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705298649/Universities-will-be-irrelevant.html">Read Original Article>></a></span><br /></p></div>Ary Stuifbergenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027796441503729123noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942734150593553211.post-52521888917047273362009-04-20T09:59:00.002+02:002009-04-20T10:08:13.383+02:00TCP / IP Sensors and Transducers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzupD7IhlYdLj7HWHcKkcf_1lQ3MDIwybiiykAlAVXx_Qt2jevnFO10olXcyS4PIBBrVI2-7mzoRhzF89svq8f59T4U0R5sgB_jMI2iefe80h3gyGhc0tjdnd_7ngDJD-kZbIZBu9tve_/s1600-h/RME.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 231px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzupD7IhlYdLj7HWHcKkcf_1lQ3MDIwybiiykAlAVXx_Qt2jevnFO10olXcyS4PIBBrVI2-7mzoRhzF89svq8f59T4U0R5sgB_jMI2iefe80h3gyGhc0tjdnd_7ngDJD-kZbIZBu9tve_/s400/RME.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326680412247668562" /></a>Exemys RME1<b> Analog module</b><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><p><span class="texto"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">Acquired information can be read through Ethernet in four different ways.<br />With RME1-AI you can aquire analog values in 4-20 mA, 0-10 Volts or 0-10 Volts format in a an accurate and unexpensive way throug Ethernet in four different ways (Modbus TCP, Web Page (HTTP), SNMP, CSV, XML).<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.exemys.com.ar/beta/english/products/modules/RME1/ficha.pdf">Product data sheet>></a></span></span></span></span></p></span></div>Ary Stuifbergenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027796441503729123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942734150593553211.post-8315819780484335292009-03-24T23:09:00.002+01:002009-03-24T23:10:56.873+01:00GetDropbox<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.getdropbox.com/static/images/dropbox_logo_home.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 77px;" src="http://www.getdropbox.com/static/images/dropbox_logo_home.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'Times New Roman';"><div style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; width: auto; font: normal normal normal 100%/normal Georgia, serif; text-align: left; ">Sometimes, you wonder how you manged it before you used an application.</div><div style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; width: auto; font: normal normal normal 100%/normal Georgia, serif; text-align: left; ">Dropbox is certainly such an application.

Call it Web cubed, if you will, but it promises to usher in pervasive networks that link electronics, clothing, cars and pretty much everything in between.</p> <p>The upshot will be a network that can accompany and support users in any situation, dynamically adapting not only to the location, but also the contexts like work and leisure.</p> <p>But there are some big problems facing this rosy future. “The first problem is scale. A network capable of linking everything together will be huge, and it will take some serious engineering to create a framework and platform capable of attaining this sort of scope,” explains Daniele Miorandi of CREATE-NET, coordinator of the <a href="http://www.bionets.eu/">BIONETS</a> project.</p> <p>The future internet will link billions of devices, or at least must be capable of doing so. It makes the most powerful network paradigms of today appear puny.</p> <p>And that is just the beginning of the challenges. Miorandi cites a series of obstacles of a similar magnitude that stands between the engineers of today and the internet of tomorrow.</p> <p>Heterogeneity is problem number two. So far, there is no standards body working simultaneously on, for example, clothing and cars in a network.

Fast-forward three years, and the number of Twitter users has grown to millions, while the content of the many posts--better known as "tweets"--has shifted from banal to informative. </p> <p>Twitter users now cover breaking news, posting links to reports, blog posts, and images. Twitter's search box also reveals what people think of the latest new gadget or movie, letting visitors eavesdrop on often spirited conversations and some insightful opinions.</p><p>....</p><p>Brice Croft, a professor of computer science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, says that Twitter search could perhaps help make news alerts more relevant. "If you could search or track large numbers of conversations, then there would be the possibility of developing alerts when something starts happening," he says. "And, of course, it's yet another opportunity to do massive data mining on people's activities to learn even more about what they are doing and when they are doing it."</p><p>...</p><p>Meanwhile, Twitter is clearly thinking about ways to better mine its users' tweets. When you search Twitter, its search engine looks for keywords in the most recent tweets, explains Biz Stone, one of the company's cofounders. The results are then ranked based on the time when they were posted; for some popular topics, this can mean just seconds ago.<br /></p><p>...</p><p></p><p>When asked whether Twitter and Google could work together to build a real-time search engine, Stone is a bit more optimistic. "We're huge fans of Google," he says. "And we'd be delighted to partner or work with them in the future."</p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/web/22272/page1/">Whole article >>></a></span></span></p><p></p></div>Ary Stuifbergenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027796441503729123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942734150593553211.post-47522173004759231922009-03-04T18:08:00.001+01:002009-03-04T18:12:50.183+01:00I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A presentation of Boxoftricks, I saw at Slideshare:</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; font-style: italic;"><br /></span><div>Exploring the changing expectations of our students</div><br /><div style="width:425px;text-align:left" id="__ss_1085615"><a style="font:14px Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;display:block;margin:12px 0 3px 0;text-decoration:underline;" href="http://www.slideshare.net/boxoftricks/i-teach-therefore-you-learn-or-do-you?type=presentation" title="I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?">I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?</a><object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=bot-iteach-presentation-090301024622-phpapp02&stripped_title=i-teach-therefore-you-learn-or-do-you"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=bot-iteach-presentation-090301024622-phpapp02&stripped_title=i-teach-therefore-you-learn-or-do-you" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><div style="font-size:11px;font-family:tahoma,arial;height:26px;padding-top:2px;">View more <a style="text-decoration:underline;" href="http://www.slideshare.net/">presentations</a> from <a style="text-decoration:underline;" href="http://www.slideshare.net/boxoftricks">José Picardo</a>.

Until now, though, there was no simple, quick way to coax the block copolymer to make the desired arrays over large areas.</p><p style="line-height: 140%; ">Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst have found a simple way to coat square inches of substrate with block copolymers.

We have surveyed, independently, a range of executives on Web 2.0 adoption. Our work suggests the challenges that lie ahead. To date, as many survey respondents are dissatisfied with their use of Web 2.0 technologies as are satisfied. Many of the dissenters cite impediments such as organizational structure, the inability of managers to understand the new levers of change, and a lack of understanding about how value is created using Web 2.0 tools. We have found that, unless a number of success factors are present, Web 2.0 efforts often fail to launch or to reach expected heights of usage. Executives who are suspicious or uncomfortable with perceived changes or risks often call off these efforts. Others fail because managers simply don’t know how to encourage the type of participation that will produce meaningful results.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">....</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; font-family:arial;"><h5 class="aHead" style="font: normal normal bold 17px/normal arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Gains from participation</span></h5><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-right: 20px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga9Ef4fDu2ERgvtqQawTjcs1B8G4O_ZU1mDtNFwjUBl9SuUPjIK3Rz4ob6BFVhmUsnc-9HwVjZ0ccq_wVPhUM3Uo6yyG4HulRdmM5BjXoXeCt_DA3ixNtW8oHnPvrV0uw_4RrLpb8z0CIO/s1600-h/web+2.0+management.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 269px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga9Ef4fDu2ERgvtqQawTjcs1B8G4O_ZU1mDtNFwjUBl9SuUPjIK3Rz4ob6BFVhmUsnc-9HwVjZ0ccq_wVPhUM3Uo6yyG4HulRdmM5BjXoXeCt_DA3ixNtW8oHnPvrV0uw_4RrLpb8z0CIO/s320/web+2.0+management.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304946093137262674" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Clay Shirky, an adjunct professor at New York University, calls the underused human potential at companies an immense “cognitive surplus” and one that could be tapped by participatory tools. Corporate leaders are, of course, eager to find new ways to add value. Over the past 15 years, using a combination of technology investments and process reengineering, they have substantially raised the productivity of transactional processes. Web 2.0 promises further gains, although the capabilities differ from those of the past technologies </span></p><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-right: 20px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family:Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">......</span></p></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 21px;font-size:15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; font-family:arial;font-size:11px;"><h5 class="aHead" style="font: normal normal bold 17px/normal arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Management imperatives for unlocking participation</span></h5><p face="Georgia, serif" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-right: 20px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">To help companies navigate the Web 2.0 landscape, we have identified six critical factors that determine the outcome of efforts to implement these technologies.</span></p><p face="Georgia, serif" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-right: 20px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">1. </span><em style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The transformation to a bottom-up culture needs help from the top.</span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> <br />2. </span><em style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The best uses come from users—but they require help to scale.</span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> <br />3. </span><em style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">What’s in the workflow is what gets used.<br /></span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">4. </span><em style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Appeal to the participants’ egos and needs—not just their wallets<br /></span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">5. </span><em style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The right solution comes from the right participants<br /></span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">6. </span><em style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Balance the top-down and self-management of risk</span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">.<br /></span></p><p face="Georgia, serif" size="15px" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-right: 20px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; "><a href="http://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/Business_Technology/Application_Management/Six_ways_to_make_Web_20_work_2294"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Read the whole article @ McKinsey >></span></a></span><br /></p></span></span></div>Ary Stuifbergenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05027796441503729123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942734150593553211.post-89643653742904965252009-02-17T14:32:00.003+01:002009-02-17T14:38:30.776+01:0031 Power Tools For Twitter Lovers To Make Lives Easier<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSdAK8Sz3AmCKnIHIfOna17KlVyh0y5P8-Jd6V-PVuev99hKuMZw-k1FFRaPBmPLKzwMIus70jY-JdO2hkFg05K3jFfnvR3-482SrCg3tx1YVxHsNetYDNoV44wyeCdBkQXYd0bcKuutt2/s1600-h/twitter.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 125px; height: 29px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSdAK8Sz3AmCKnIHIfOna17KlVyh0y5P8-Jd6V-PVuev99hKuMZw-k1FFRaPBmPLKzwMIus70jY-JdO2hkFg05K3jFfnvR3-482SrCg3tx1YVxHsNetYDNoV44wyeCdBkQXYd0bcKuutt2/s320/twitter.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303760169726135890" /></a>Twitter is a rapidly growing micro-blogging service in these days.
