Many Indian publishers have received an email from the Google Adsense team with the following text notifying them of the delay in their AdSense payments.
Hello,
We’d like to let you know that the delivery of your most recent AdSense
check payment has been slightly delayed by a few days. However, please be
assured that it will be mailed to you early next week.We appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
Google Inc.
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043 USA
———————————–
Email Preferences: You have received this email service announcement toupdate you about your Google AdSense account, ID ca-pub-****************.
At last some assurance that the money is on its way. But wait, doesn’t the “Payment Issued” statement in the AdSense account mean that you issued the check already? Maybe you did but never mailed it yet. And you say as much in this mail don’t you? And we’d been calling BlueDart all this while.

A lot of Gmail users have been hit by Gmail outage as I write. The Apps Status Dashboard shows that Google is aware of the outage. And the official word is
We’re aware of a problem with Google Mail affecting a significant number of users. The affected users are unable to access Google Mail. We will provide an update by May 8, 2009 0:19:00 PM UTC detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change.
Bad surprise I must say.

Update: Google has recently notified all Indian publishers of the delay.
Not a single Indian AdSesnse publisher has received payment for this month as I write this. What happened? There’s been a recent development with regards to the AdSense payment procedure for Indian publishers. Google had the “Secure Express Delivery” option which employed DHL services to send the payments. Blue Dart is the Indian domentic carrier for DHL. For this reason Google decided to cut off the fee on “Secure Express Delivery” option by switching to Blue Dart from DHL. Since it’s free, all the publishers not opted for the “Secured Express Delivery” also get to receive payments via Blue Dart. So far so good. Those not opted for “Secure Express Delivery” get a premium service and those paying $25 for Secure Express Delivery get the same service for free. But then trouble sets in.
Payments sent via DHL arrived between 1st to 3rd…

I compiled the source of Firefox 3.5 beta 5 and 3.0.10 over the weekend. There has been a version change in the 3.1 series as the developers decided that due to the many changes in the 3.1 series, the next in the series needs to be versioned 3.5. This after 3.1 beta 3 we have 3.5 beta 4. I completely skipped 3.0.9 due to the short duration between the 3.0.8 and the 3.0.10 releases. Both versions feature SSE and SSE3 builds. You can get the builds from the Blazing fast builds download page.
These are optimized builds and feature the unofficial branding of Firefox.

While many Indian publishers are waiting desperately to get the option of payments via EFT, Indian publishers found the following mail in their inbox sent by Google AdSense : -
Greetings from Google AdSense!
Thank you for having chosen the secured check option to receive your AdSense payments. Today we’re happy to inform you that going forward you’ll receive your checks securely delivered by a local courier service at no additional cost.
We have now removed the secured delivery option from your account. In the future, all publishers located in India who have check as their payment method will automatically begin receiving their checks by local courier service Blue Dart. You will not be charged for this delivery service.
We anticipate that the service provided by BlueDart will match that provided by DHL in the past. Tracking numbers may be available for Blue Dart payments. You can check to see if one is available…

Also called the Personal Toolbar, the Firefox bookmarks bar can become over-populated so much so that the extra items get pushed into a drop-down-menu. What makes matters worse is that if you choose to change the display-mode of the toolbars to icon only, the bookmarks bar still shows the icons and the text.
Here’s how to disable the bookmarks’ labels when you change the mode of the toolbars to icon. This will disable the text labels on the bookmark items and allow showing more items than you ever imagined. You’ll have to edit the userchrome.css file in the chrome folder under your Firefox profile directory. Open it in a simple text editor and add the following lines of code to the end of it.
toolbar[mode="icons"] .toolbarbutton-text {
display:none !important;
}
What is does is basically it fixes the disabling of text labels when the toolbars are configured to show icons only (under View > Toolbars >…

If you are a social media marketer or a blogger or just an avid social media user who is looking to invest and spend time in the long term, you need to come up with a common username or vanity url across most social media sites. Here’s a tool that does just this. namechk is a service which allows you to type a username and check for its availability across multiple social media sites. Head on to namechk and test it out.

There was a nice and convincing story doing the rounds a few days back titled “Breaking: Internet Explorer 8.1 Eagle Eyes Leaked” which claimed that the new version of Internet Explorer (version 8.1) will include support for Firefox Extensions. The sad part was the story was dated 1st of April 2009.
They say “If something is too good to be true, maybe it is”. While I’ll express my frustration for development of Internet Explorer addons later in this article I wish to mention what Internet Explorer offers as equivalents of addons or extensions.

Accelerators:
These utilities aid you in playing with the text/html on a web page. Windows users must be familiar with the age old “Send To” menu in the explorer context menu which enables you to send the selected item to the Desktop, Mail Recipient, Compressed Folder. Accelerators offer similar functionality allowing you to make use of the selected text on…

I don’t remember and never cared to explore if these even existed - there’s already too much mail hitting my inbox. But today when I logged in to my AdSense account I was greeted by a special message notifying me of changes to the AdSense email preferences. You now have some extra email preferences in your AdSense accounts viz.
Customized help and performance suggestions: Receive suggestions from members of the AdSense team for changes you can make to improve performance and earn more from your site.
Newsletters: Receive newsletters with optimization tips, best practices, and other information to help you get the most out of your Google AdSense account.
Google market research: Receive invitations to test new features, surveys about Google AdSense, and opportunities to provide feedback about your experiences.
Special offers: Receive news about AdSense promotions, events, and giveaways. I doubt they exist.
Information about other Google products and services which may be of interest to you: Receive…

Are you familiar with this message when you try to log into your AdSense account?
Error
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to process your request at this time. Our engineers have been notified of this problem and will work to resolve it.
Well earlier the AdSense login page was just timing out. Finally I managed to reach the login page when I got this error. While this error is undescriptive and pretty much useless it does bring the implicit to the mind - “Is my AdSense account blocked?”
Very scary. But I’m able to log in now.
