Internet Black-out in Africa and Asia

I can’t believe what I just saw on CNN.com, per this article it seems that large parts of North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia (mainly India) are suffering to get access to Internet.

Did you know that Chelsea Clinton has lived in Chelsea, Manhattan?

I was just checking Wikipedia and it just occurred to me to type President Clintons’ daughter name to see what Wikipedia say about her.

At last, I got Google PageRank

Finally, after around 4 months of starting this blog, finally I got PageRank. It’s not too much, it’s just a PageRank of 1, but given the most recent Google Slap I guess it’s good enough. Since yesterday, I’ve been following Google’s behaviour on my site as well as some other blogs and I found that…

My Baby's first steps
