HOW RICH ARE YOU?

Where do you stand when compared to the richest people in the world.Don't know?.Find it out at Globalrichlist.com.If you are in the less fortunate group you will get a message of motivation.If you fall among the group of richest you will get a sensible message of philanthropy.And if you belong to the mediocre earning category you will still get a message of philanthropy because even a low annual income of $850 will make you richer than 50% of the world population.

INTERESTING FACT FIGURES.
I tried to calculate where do average earning persons of few countries stand in the richlist.

Indians.India having a average per capita income of $620 makes an average indian richer than 31% of the world population.

Americans.US having an average per capita income of $41400 makes an average american richer than 97% of the world population.But yet americans aren't the richest people in the world.

Luxembourg-ians.Average per capita income of a luxembourg citizen(luxembourg is an independent state under Netherlands) is $56230 which makes an average earner there richer than 99% of the world population.Switzerland with an average percapita income of $48230 and Norway with $52030 falls between america and luxembourg in the rich list.

People

William Henry GatesIII who earns $250 dollars a second,about $20million a day and about $7.8billion a year makes him richer than ofcourse 99.99% of the world population.Don't be suprised thats Bill gates' original name.

FIREFOX PLUGIN RSS TICKER:RSS READER ALTERNATIVE

Firefox's new addon Rss ticker will be a worth installing stuff for you if you don't
want to install rss readers for keeping up with news around the world.Its a 56kb download.This is how firefox explains its agiltity.

RSS Ticker loads your Live Bookmarks and scrolls their entries across your screen while you surf. It's perfect for staying informed without having to actively browse entries in an RSS reader.
You can decide which of your Live Bookmarks you want scrolled in the ticker by checking or unchecking the box in the bookmark's properties dialog (right-click on the Live Bookmark in the Bookmarks menu and choose Properties), or by managing all of your feeds in the ticker's feed manager (in the RSS Ticker options dialog).

You can choose to have RSS Ticker shuffle all of the entries from all of the feeds so that you always have a variety of links showing in the ticker, and since RSS Ticker shows the feed's favicon (favorite's icon) next to each entry, you'll know exactly which feed each entry is from.

How to add live bookmarks or rss feeds to firefox?

There are two ways to add a Live Bookmark in Firefox:

1. If the page you are looking at in your browser offers an RSS feed ( http://digg.com/ , for example), there will be a small orange icon on the right side of the address bar. If you click on that, it will open the "Add Live Bookmark" dialog.

2. In the Bookmarks Manager, (found under Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks), there is an option under the File menu for "New Live Bookmark." Here you can put the location of the XML feed in the Location field.

After doing either of these steps, restarting Firefox or choosing "Refresh Feeds" from the Ticker's context menu will show the feed in the ticker.

HOW TO GET YOUR BLOG A FEED AND LINK LINES TO SOCIAL BOOKMARKING SITES LIKE DIGG,TECHNOCRATI,FURL

This tip targeted at beginner-bloggers will help to add a feed{ofcourse with a feed button}and add link lines like "digg this","Add to del.icio.us","Add to technorati" and link lines of lots other social bookmarking sites.The most easy way by which you can do all these stuff together and transform your blog is mentioned below.
1.First lets choose a feed provider site.I will reccomend feedburner.com.Its the best and free.So i will mention the process in a hope that you are currently at the feedburner homepage.
2.Create a feedburner account.All you have to do is type your blog address in that cream box.Click next.Choose your feeder type.If you use atom feed i will recommend you to get an Rss feed because feedburner and atom are just not made for each other.You can get an rss feed from rssfeedreader.com.
.If you already have an rss feed then select it an move to the next step.
3.After a couple of nexts you will reach your 'feed editing page'.Click on
optimize and then on smartfeed and activate it.This will make your feed compatible with all feed-readers.Go to publicize and click on the friendly graphic button on the 'chickletize your website' paragraph.Choose an icon.The standard ones are most popular.
4.Copy the html code.If you use beta blogger then go to template>add a page element>html/javascript>Paste the code.People normally expect it on the sidebar rather than the bottom bar.But doing this will prevent you from adding link lines.So if you want both revert to classic template but you will loose your current settings.Classic template is more practical.After reverting paste the code any where after the 'Begin sidebar' line and preview it before saving.Move around and check it out at different locations on the sidebar.
5.Now view and check whether the feedbutton is there.
6.Now lets add link lines.Before that click on pingshot and activate pinging on social bookmarking websites.That will help you popularize your blog.
7.Now click on optimize to start adding link lines.
8.You would see the checkerboxes and stuff.Lets start adding the sites of your choice.Click on 'browse the catalog'.Click on the link which is beside 'copy the url'.
9.You will get an xml screen.Dont get scared,just leave that xml stuff and copy
the address from the address bar.
10.Now paste it on the box before 'Add new flare' on the edit page.
11.Select the stuff you need and save.The items on the 'Personal feed flare' will
dissappear if you left it unchecked.
12.Now get the html code by choosing the blogging platform.{its just above the save buttom}.Follow the directions.Bingo

WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET BANNED FROM A FORUM OR WEBSITE?

Let me tell you something,if you ever get banned from a website or a forum you
need not breakdown because Tips180 has got
the solution.But let me first discuss the reasons for a ban before you confuse my proposal with bad ethics.You may get banned from a forum or site if your posts are mistook as advertising or affiliate marketing or comments are confused with vulgarity{which happens in very low case} and also when you spam the site oradvertise for affiliate programs intentionally.This is for the first category because professional spammers and marketers if use these methods risk tracing back beacuse when they become frequent the providers will invest time to get to them.
I got this idea of 'comeback from banishment' when i saw in a forum,a fellow member's comment was followed by a message:This user is banned from this forum for ...blah blah.I started a investigation to find how smart these people are when it comes to making sure that one is banned.I found a site involved in affiliate marketing and pasted its link into the forum.The next morning when i tried to log-on i was welcomed by a message of my banishment.And i was suprised to see how dumb those forum makers were because it took me less than a minute to re-enter the forum.It was a silly thing,if you get banned from a forum just register a new account and you are in. This is because they do not care to note your ip address.

But when it comes to intelligent sites they do care to not your ip.I have the solution to that also.Make sure that your Internet service provider is giving you
a dynamic ip.Then when you are banned go to network connectons right click your LAN settingsicon then click on repair this will renew your ip and you are free.You can register again or sometimes login with the same account you had before.

FORGET GMAIL'S 2GB,30GB IS HERE

GMail started a revolution when it started giving 1Gb email service and when it enhanced it with one more Gb it became a rage.Moving around without a gmail id was
almost a shame for techies.But now there is something else everyone is going to
run behind its not a 4Gb or 8Gb email service,its 30Gb email service.Yeah you read it right 30Gb email service for free.If you ask me whats one going to do with a 30Gb space on the internet the answer will be a virtual and handy back-up tool for harddisk safeguarding or personal storage space of 30Gb even esnips gives only 1Gb or if you are a webmaster or are a blogger of a popular blog like this[(:grin ],you can recieve all the e-mails and would never need to delete them.I'm sure you must have started screaming to tell you who is giving it,its a site called 30Gigs.com

You can have it if you are also using any of the things i mentioned above or
boasting among friends about your 30Gb email account will not be a bad idea.

OXYSHARE VS RAPIDSHARE

If you are tired of seeing the rudeness of rapidshare, there is a good news for you.
Newkid on the block Oxyshareis here to the rescue.Its not limiting simultaneous downloads neither restricting use of download managers nor has any problem in uploading with FTP Client.Size limit for the uploading file is 700mb which is seven times that of rapidshare and about 3 times that of megaupload.Max speed for downloads is 3mb/s which is thrice the speed offered by the rapidshare people as well as megaupload.Download resume is also supported.FTP speedis 500kb/s and it doesn't block you by your ip.All these things are included in thefree version and you know what to expect in the premium one.

Another cool feature i noticed is its catalogue which is displayed on the site on
the homepage itself unlike rapidshare and megaupload.One more thing creamy is that its hiring and you dont need to be a programmer or something like that,all you need is that you upload files for them to enrich their catalogue and i'm sure its going to cause rapidshare and megaupload real migrane.
