iPhone OS 4.0 Jailbreak With Blackra1n By Geohot

This has increased a rumor about enabling multitasking features on iPhone 3G and other devices. Apple developers said that it is not possible to make iPhone 3G,2G due to low memory constraint. We are still believing that it is possible to enable multitasking features and other features of iPhone OS 4 on iPhone 3G once the new OS has been installed.

The above picture is released by George Hotz on his twitter account showing blackra1n running on iPhone OS 4.0. The release date or hack will not be available soon but I am expecting this tool to be released by the end of this month. Geohot has also managed to jailbreak iPad 3.2 few days back, so we can expect the new tool to jailbreak iPad as well.

This method will help you to receive your favorite tweets via SMS. It is useful for Indian users only. Are you interested in getting your favorite twitter tweets via sms? My trial and error method helped me to receive my favorite tweets via sms. There are many twitter sms services available from where you can update your twitter easily (Upcoming post at techgenuine) but getting tweets is little bit difficult.

Airtel has recently released SMS service for their user. It does cost you few bucks. If you want to save few bucks then you can use Google SMS channel. You must be aware of Google SMS channel. This method is especially useful for Indian users where Google SMS channel is available to use at no cost.

Here I will mention about keyword search on twitter. As an example I have considered “SEO”, “Twitter Tools”, “iphone”, “ipod” keywords. Have a look at below URL. This is a feed URL of twitter search based on mentioned twitter

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=iphone+OR+ipod+OR+seo

Add your favorite keywords according to your criteria like q=keyword1+OR+keyword2+OR+keyword and so on. Now go to Google SMS channel.

Twitter SMS service

You can skip this steps if you already have Google SMS channel available for your phone.

1. Go to Google SMS channel.

2. Enter your phone number to receive the message via SMS.

3. Enter PIN number you received to confirm the subscription.

Twitter SMS

You can start from this step if you already have SMS channel available.

4. Login into your account.

5. Now check on the right hand side and click on “Try now“.

6.Now in the new “Create SMS channel “  enter your desired channel name.

7. Enter the description(optional). Decide the category and and location.

8.Click on radio button “RSS/Atom feed” and enter the URL given above i.e.

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=iphone+OR+ipod+OR+seo

9. Select “Allow publishing by” “Only me”. “Who can subscribe” “By invitation only”.

That’s it you have created your subscription channel. Accept the terms and create you SMS channel. This is the simplest way to use Google SMS channel to receive your favorite tweets at no cost.

Leaving Note:

I am working on few other ways to receive SMS of the tweets via SMS for other country users as well. Hope this method helped you. If you face any problem then feel free to ask any question. Same way it is possible to use email service to receive twitter tweets. I will cover it very soon.

There are obviously many things that you can do to for search engine optimization (SEO) but which should you focus on? Your time is valuable so I made a list of the top 5 things that you should do to maximize your time. In other words, why spend four hours on something when you can spend an hour on a task that should return 100x more value? Enough chatter, let’s get on the list:

1. Write fresh content consistently! I’ve mentioned this in several previous posts, most recently at Blog about your niche. There is absolutely nothing more important than providing real value on your blog on a regular basis. So write, write, write. Set a goal of every other day or every weekday or every day. Just make sure you post useful information related to the theme of your blog a few times a week at a minimum. If your blog is about puppies, keep writing about puppies and skip the rant on politics.
2. Make your titles relevant. Having good, catchy titles are great. Having good, catchy titles with keywords related to your post is even better. So if your post is about losing weight, instead of “Shedding your unwanted fat” you could go with “Shedding the extra weight: lose 10 pounds in a month safely”.
3. Use keywords in your content. Don’t go crazy with this and scatter keywords unnecessarily (you will actually be penalized for that) but make sure you have some keywords in the body of your post. Imagine if I never actually wrote the words “search engine optimization” in this post, which is exactly what the post is about.
4. Have a logical site structure. This is pretty automatic if you use a good blogging platform (e.g. blogger or wordpress.com). However, if you are using custom themes or running your own blog on a separate host, that may change things a bit. Just make sure that your blog structure is organized so your directories and pages are easy to understand.
5. Use Google Analytics. It’s arguably the most useful analytical tool for your blog and it’s absolutely free! There’s no reason not to use Google Analytics. You can learn about where your visitors are from geographically, how long they are staying, what your traffic is this week compared to last week, how many other posts they are looking at, and much more. One important thing to monitor is which keywords are bringing them to your site. You could simply continue to utilize those keywords in future posts if you want to improve ranking for that niche.

None of this is groundbreaking. In fact, you should probably do these things for your readers anyway, not just for SEO purposes. And even though search engine algorithms change all the time, the aforementioned things to do have pretty much always been part of the core. It doesn’t mean you don’t need to do anything else either but if you only have time for 5 things, do these. Backlinks, keywords in the URL, tags/categories, directories, social networking, microblogging, and a bunch of other tactics will come in due time. Happy blogging!
