  • @limyh @cheeaun Deep Zoom does more than that. I think it’s an improved experience. http://tinyurl.com/5bx2ss #
  • @cheeaun @limyh There is an Obama site http://www.deepzoomobama.com/ Deep Zoom allows smooth zooming of text too if I’m not wrong. #
  • @cheeaun I thought the experience with Deep Zoom Earth felt better than Flash Earth. Play around with it, it’s actually pretty cool. #
  • @cheeaun Are you on Facebook by the way? #
  • @limyh Cuil’s rather poor in my opinion. It’s not really usable too. #
  • @limyh No beta tag just mean one thing - it’s not Web 2.0. lol #
 

Are you perhaps, interested in PHP?

PHP books

We all know about Java interfaces, what about PHP interface?

Saw this at Kinokuniya, Kuala Lumpur.

 

I just returned from Kuala Lumpur. Went there to attend BarCamp Malaysia. I’ll blog more on that soon.

I saw the majestic Petronas Twin Towers at Kuala Lumpur City Center too. My phone camera won’t do justice to her:

And visited Suria KLCC too. Mall organization resembles Suntec City and the mall content reminds me of Vivocity - trendy for everyone. Suria was the cleanest mall I been to in KL. Lots of tourists there too:

With the exception of the food center, Suria is spacious and easy to navigate.

It’s my first visit to Kuala Lumpur, second visit to Malaysia. I only visited the metropolitan area.

 

Well, Google just launched Knol. A knol is an authoritative article about a specific topic.

Knol is a Google project which includes single author articles on topics ranging from “scientific concepts, to medical information, from geographical and historical, to entertainment, from product information, to how-to-fix-it instructions,” according to Google. It was announced on December 13, 2007, and was opened in beta to the public on July 23, 2008. Knol pages are “meant to be the first thing someone who searches for this topic for the first time will want to read”, according to Udi Manber, a Vice President of Engineering at Google. The term knol, named after a “unit of knowledge”, refers to both the project and an article in the project. Several experts see Knol as Google’s attempt to compete with Wikipedia. (Source: Wikipedia)

In Wikipedia article of Knol, there lacks a criticism section and a popular culture section. But it probably would appear soon.

Take a look at Knol.
