As the technologies in the web advance level by level so do spam on the web. One such medium of Spam are Spam comments on blog posts. Now, spam comments on your blog posts are not only focused on creating backlinks to the originator the sponsor but also to impact your site SEO negatively by creating spam in your blog comments. Surprisingly these comments pass the well known “Akismet” one of the most well known and excellent tool for WordPress blog/site owners.

Here is a screenshot of spam-comments which I regularly receive:

Interesting Fact: All these spam comments have spelling mistake & website as facebook or bing or google.com .

May 21st, 2011 was being referred by many as the “DoomsDay ” when the world will end and there will be a mass chaos. Well, honestly May 21st has been a very pleasant day for me. It rained in Delhi [India] and the temperature came down to 32[93 degree Fahrenheit] degrees from 44 degree Celsius [105 degree Fahrenheit] . Let’s what people were saying about this day:

1. EbibleFellowship: “This is the day God shuts the door of salvation on the world.”

2. Judgementday2011: “How will you be looked at on Judgement Day 2011?  Will you be saved by Jesus in the Rapture, or left behind to experience the End Times after Doomsday.  When will the End of the World be for you?  May 21st, or October 21st, 2011?”

3. Facebook Page: “EVERYTHING IS IN GODS CONTROL…..PRAY TO HIM, TIME IS RUNNING OUT. ”

What the other people thought…

1. NASA : “May 21st is a big HOAX“.

2. Youtube: “Rule out this theory” — Nice video, must watch to get the complete JudgementDay issue.”

3. Yahoo Answers: “It is simply the end of an age”

Share your experience on May 21st.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

The legacy it followed of being in the top 10 strategy games of all time along with the tag of Starcraft, latest game from Blizzard Entertainment gave it the publicity and promotion and there were a lot of expectations. While one has to say that game has transformed from 2D to 3D and most of the animations and graphics are more smooth and fine but still  the biggest inconvenience that users seems to have is that they consider the game incomplete.  Also people are reporting that game installation is a tedious process and some people have not been able to install it as it asks users to register online even if you are playing solo.[more]

About the Game

StarCraft II is split into three installments: the base game with the subtitle Wings of Liberty, and two expansion packs, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void. While Wings of Liberty focusses on Terrans ,Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void will focus on the Zerg and Protoss. The sad part is that the story is incomplete without these two parts which are not yet released.Having said that there is also enough room and a very strong story line up in the solo campaigns. The current release “Wings of Liberty” game is more or less same as previous version , with few upgrades and return of old characters. The game has fine graphics and smoother animations along with  narration of story in between missions. New units are unlocked as you clear missions during game play. Another new thing is that now you can align your army in various forms and hire mercs for a fee by Raynor. But the best part of any Blizzard game is the amazing line of events which exists in this too.

More to Come

There is news that the second part Heart of the Swarm would have some RPG elements.  Well Blizzard seems to have cashed most on its brand Starcraft but a long sequel of one of the best games might not be the best strategy .

more to come.
