Where can I listen free radio online?
What is the best and easiest way to listen online radio? That's what people are searching for when they think of listening to online radio. There are so many streaming radio online for you to listen. Those online radio services are usually free. Most of them are categorized according to the radio music style. Some of them are categorized according to countries. And some also let you decide the quality of the radio.
Why do we need to adjust the radio quality? The broadcasting of the online radio is actually a thing of streaming, and thus it will need buffering to play the radio smoothly. Of course, this also means that if you have slow internet connection, you'd better choose lower quality of radio streaming in order to play it well.
Another problem of online radio is that sometimes the interfaces of the streaming radio websites are quite complicated for those elderly people. They will sometimes find it hard to choose because there are so many things in the interface. For elderly people, it should be as simple as possible. They spot the link, they click the link and the radio plays immediately. That's what all of us want, right? Not those hassle in using the radio streaming.
I just found a website which has very simple interface. You can see clearly the category of countries there. All you need to listen to the streaming radio is "Choose the country and then click the radio station name". And you'll be able to listen directly. I got this think when I was searching for "Taiwan Online Kiss Radio" which I found as a very nice radio station of Taiwan. Of course, you can also listen to Singapore Online Radio, too which is very popular around Asia (which is also my favorite).

Do you believe that my Alexa rank is better than Facebook?
Do you think pagerank checker websites never make mistakes? Don't be too happy when you see your pagerank or your alexa rank through a page rank checker website. I was quite surprise to see that one of my blogs with mixed topic could get alexa rank 1. Very surprise. But I believe that this must be the error of the website that does the checking.
The blog ranks 0 on Google, but the funny thing is that it ranks 1 in Alexa. A few days ago, I couldn't even get the data of my alexa rank of that blog. But I think Alexa rank 1 must be something else in meaning. Perhaps, it means the data of alexa rank has started to show. Let's see what's the rank for Facebook. Facebook got Google Pagerank 10 (the highest) and Alexa rank 2.

When Gougou closes it's door, Sogou still opens its door.
When you want to enter Gougou website, you'll get an error message that it has stopped giving services to countries outside China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. This is probably disappointing you. In fact, you don't have to feel disappointed about this, because there are still several websites that provide such service to you.
You'll probably use Gougou.com mostly for downloading music, especially Chinese music. There is a better Gougou alternative which provides lesser broken links for music download. It's sogou.com. Ever heard about Sogou? Not only giving services for music download, but also similar to Google, giving you other services like a Chinese Search Engine. You can search of lots of information from this Sogou. Of course, you can search for images from it.
Ok, just remember that "When Gougou closes it's door, Sogou still opens its door. Use Sogou instead of Gougou for downloading music. I'll post more information about Sogou for you at another chance. Happy music downloading!

Search Images at Google by uploading an image
Here's a funny thing about Google Image Search. You probably don't know that you can search for an image by uploading an image. You might wonder and then ask me, since I have the image, why should I search for it anyway?
Well, you may probably do this kind of search when you are in need of other similar photos of your own. Perhaps the same object photo with different background or photos with different object with the same background color. Another reason why you really need to use this kind of search is that you need the image in a bigger resolution / size.
To test the ability of this Google Image Search, you can download the thumbnail image of a Hello Kitty. I even used Screen Hunter to capture the thumbnail image (so that the quality may be lowered) I found through ordinary search. After that, I uploaded the captured image to Google Image Search and tried Search. The result was I could find the same image with different resolution. And through this way, you can get the higher resolution image for your own need.
Another reason why people need to search by uploading images is that they want to know where his/her image can be found through the whole web through Google Image Search engine. The more places the image located means that the image is popular through the web cause many people share it.

Mito Xiu Xiu (美圖秀秀 - Mei Tu Xiu Xiu) has English version?
Many of my visitors that came from searching on google with "meitu xiu xiu english version". I was wondering why people keep on searching on it. And does Meitu really have English version? And feeling doubt about this, I also started searching on google and yahoo for it. From the search result, I found that there are quite lots of links to Meitu Xiu Xiu in English. Some even describes that Meitu with crack and whatever. Meitu is actually a freeware, no need the crack.
I found that it's rather impossible that Meitu has English version because most of the links are broken links. Some are just links to other pages rather than English version of Meitu. With a bit of disappointment, I started another search with Images. If Google search results can show me even one Meitu with English interface, then I would believe that Meitu must have the English version. The search result was none images with Meitu English interface.
So, I thought of going directly to the site. I still found no links on the site that tell us Meitu English version download. And that makes me feel that it really has no English version. Mostly webmasters will provide directly the choice for you when they have created a program in more than a language. And this can be set from the Tools (工具) - Option (选项) - Language (語文) menu of any programs. You can't find that menu in Meitu, right?
From those search results, even though I couldn't find the English Meitu, I can suggest you to use the online tutorial. Because Google can do translation for you. You can't change the interface of the program, but to learn the program, you can still use the Google Translate to show the online tutorial in English. After some time using it, I believe you will be able to use Chinese version of Meitu Xiu Xiu just like you use it in English version.

Recently, I found that my Yahoo Messenger seemed to have a problem. When I start chatting with someone, the window open, but whatever I type in the message box after sending the message does not show in the chat window. I can see when I type. But I can't see anything in the chat window, whether the text I type or the text that the other party types. This is very annoying.
So, in order to read the text, I have to save the conversation using menu Conversation - Save as. This is really troublesome. Then, I tried searching at forum for the solution of this problem. I got the solution on how to make Yahoo Messenger show the messages.
Here's the link to the forum where I got the solution:
