Familiar with Instant Messenger like Yahoo Messenger or AIM? Of course it’s hard for us to get disengaged with these web services today since we want to stay in touch. Using different account on Yahoo Messenger is not a problem, but if you are using GoogleTalk, you might stumble to some hassle.
If you want to do so, then there is a way to use multiple GoogleTalk account in one time. You’ll only need 4 steps to do the technique.
- Make the application’s shortcut on your desktop. In this case, right click on the GoogleTalk application, choose Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).
- Right click on the GoogleTalk icon and then choose Properties.
- Change the target location which in default is written C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe” /startmenu with the following rule “C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe” /nomutex.
- Click OK, and you’re done.
While several days ago, a husband-and-wife team proclaimed their newly search engine will be the next Google rival, today another news is coming from Yahoo. The search engine which has almost-the-same title with the Cuil search engine: Yuil, are about to come into the competition. The Washington Post said that it was only matter of time.
In a surprising (and hilarious) twist, Yuil is actually the product of Yahoo VP of Platforms, Sam Pullara, who is using the site to show off Yahoo’s recently-released BOSS API. BOSS is unique among search engine APIs, giving developers an unprecedented level of control over results generated by Yahoo’s search engine. And while Yuil isn’t really doing anything new with its search results, they’re more relevant than the occasionally bizarre ones we’ve been getting from Cuil.
Developers are only just starting to tap into the power afforded by the BOSS API - we’ll probably see dozens of similar search engines like this pop up over the next few months. The difference between these, and the generic API-based engines we’ve seen before, is that developers will be able to manipulate and reorder the results to make them more meaningful - something that APIs from most other search engines prohibit.
