How to get Twitter ID

Before I start I wish you all a very happy new year 2012.It took long time after my last since I got new job and many changes happened in recent months.

I was learning WPF(Windows Presentation Foundation) and I tried to create RSS Feed reader.I tried to get twitter feeds from my twitter account and I searched in google and I found a code but it needed twitter id for that.I found it can be also replace by username.But this code is also useful.

I open http://api.twitter.com/users/show/rasikalb.json {this is for me common url http://api.twitter.com/users/show/[replace username].json}url and it shows some useful json code that we can get many twitter account details.last line contains  twitter id.

We can access our twitter feed from http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/[userId or username].rss it shows as follows.Using this rss file we can read tweets.

Hope to post about SQL, C# useful tips in future.Until next post cheers ..!!!

Beginner techies guide to Internet World – part I

I thought what to write this Freshly created eMagazine and I decided it’s better to write something from the beginning.Now I have more than 5 year experience in internet world.Still I’m unable to learn all.But little.But I think these days our young generation are carelessly use this world because lack of knowledge of its true value.I think following steps will help at some level if you are a beginner

Internet Browsers
This is the software need to browse in the WWW (world wide web) or internet.there are plenty of internet browsing softwares.Windows default one is Internet explorer and in most of linux OS’s, Firefox is default SW.But I like Google Chrome since it has quick search functionality(we can search from address bar), large web page area,collection of themes & plugins, there are many tools to support web developers and it’s softer than others.But it has some disadvatages too.It crashes than others.need more processing power when we open many tabs.Some microsoft products don’t work with other browsers so we need internet explorer in that stage.Firefox is best browser according to http://internet-browser-review.toptenreviews.com/

Search Engines
The very beginning thing.Most of newbies to internet are doing this mistake.they type web address in search engines.Because most of the browsers home page is set to a search engine.Search engine are sites that help to find web pages in internet.You have to do is just type what you need to find in search engines search text box.

Google.com is most famous one.And it has many functionalities such as image,video  real time searching etc.. Googling is a term to search something from google.com. this.Other famous search engines like Yahoo.com and  msn.com provide directory services, news and many other things.Since we need specific information rather than some other news so I prefer google.com than others.

Email accounts
There are many email providers but to me gmail.com is best one .Because to use most of google products such as google doc, google plus,google map need gmail accounts.
And also it has chatting facilities,filtering and many features.If you are a beginner it’s better to start your email with gmail.com .But there are many email providers. ex:yahoo.com,live.com, and newest one phoenix mail that provides facility to connect many email accounts to one.I strictly believe using too many email account isn’t good.It will waste your time.


Social Networking sites
I don’t think you need to guide to social networking sites.But if you are not aware about them.Just try facebook and google plus.These are the sites where most of people networking.These are facilitate Chatting,photo and video sharing,status updates,personal information sharing things. Although there are many benefits most people ruin that plus points by addict to those sites in most of times.


Social networks mean Facebook and google plus.Is that all.No.As you can see in the image there are many social networking sites that help us to build better social network.I have done my seminar presentation on Social Network Analysis you can get more information about Social Networks from that presentation here is the link. http://bit.ly/ne8kHS I think that’s enough for this post.I hope to post about twitter,blogs and some other useful techy stuffs in next post.Please comment and give your opinion about this post.It will be a really encouragement to raise new writer.
Thank you for reading this.Until next post cheers….!!!
