Russel Davies is an author. He was wondering whether there was a way of tracking Amazon rank of a particular book on Twitter as well as Email. He had to log into his Amazon account if he wants to check the rank of his book. He asked Adrian about it and he immediately built a brilliant thing called Booklert.

Booklert is a tool that tracks the Amazon rank of your own book or your favorite book and delivers the rank to your Email and most importantly, to your twitter account. It works like this:

Sign up at Booklert. After logging in, you are asked to search for a book. Enter the title, author name and ISBN (if you know.

I didn't know my book's ISBN) and choose the store where it is sold ( Amazon US or UK or France) from the dropdown box and hit search. The results of your search are shown below with a button 'track this book'. When you click that button you are taken to My Settings. Here you have to choose the way you want to track the book. If you want to track the book via Email or Twitter or both.

If you want the rank to be delivered to your Twitter account, enter your Twitter username and click save. Now go to Booklert page at Twitter and click 'follow'. You will get a message which contains a validation code. Enter that validation code on your settings page. Set the frequency of the alerts you wish to receive, hourly, daily or weekly and you are done. You will receive the ranking on your phone via Twitter and via email.

You can check the ranking along with graph from My Books page. You can even share your book's rank on your website also. Go to 'put your book's rank on your website' tab. If you are an Amazon affiliate, enter the ID or leave the field blank, copy the html code and paste it in your blog template or widget. You are done.

This is such a nice idea that is useful for not only authors themselves but also for their fans. You can track the rank of your favorite book and promote it as well. If you are an amazon affiliate, it provides you the chance to push the books that are more profitable for you. You can track as many books as you wish.

The Booklert Home Page displays a Weekly Chart of top Climbers or the ones that have been going down the rank. But the chart is limited to only 5 books each. There is no way to know about more books on the chart, not even from your account.

Let me first thank my readers for visiting my blog. I would like to put forth a proposal about revamping my blog. My favourite is to share the websites I found on internet with my readers and my blog name partly justifies that truly. So the Websites section will remain as it is now. In fact that is the section which is getting me some readers too.

Internet has many things on it apart from wallpapers and videos. I want to remove these two sections from my blog and introduce some other sections in place of them. I have been very seriously thinking about it for the past few days.

But I thought it is not right for me to take the decision myself coz I am not writing this blog for myself. This is for my readers ! They are very important for me. So the right thing for me is to take the opinion of my readers before I actually decide on what sections to be introduced in stead of wallpapers and videos.

My vague idea is to introduce Tech News and news about Mobiles and their applications. I have not yet decided.

If you have any suggestions, please do so by leaving a comment or by mailing me. My email is at my Contact Page.

I will finally decide only after seeing your replies. The blog will run with the present sections until final decision is taken.

Please respond.

Parenting is the toughest thing to do. Because, parenting shapes kids'habits, personality, opinions, attitudes - a whole human being. This is the only issue where every parent looks out for a piece of advice from another parent and is believed upon at times more than a doctor's advice. Minti.com is one website where you get advice on parenting for all age kids on every parenting problem under the sun. The best thing about this website is that this site does not offer any advice of its own but has advice of hundreds of parents on different sections of the site. You can Read Advice, Write Advice, you can ask a question or answer a question by another parent. To

The website reminds me of Yahoo answers but it is more than that. The website contains more than 6000 articles about parenting. The Q & A section has countless questions and answers on parenting issues of all ages. This is the key section for the site. It has advice offerred by many parents on every parenting problem.

The webstie has groups which are started by members. Most of the groups are public and for members of all countries. Activities page lists out recent activity by the members in chronological order.

The website does not have categories which makes it a little difficult to search for advice. But it has Tag Cloud called as popular categories. But I found that many members are not tagging their questions so some questions may miss attention they deserve.

Minti.com is a website which resembles yahoo answers and parenting forum but it is much more than a forum. Members contribute content on the website. Its a website which is powered by parents, truely as the tag line of the website says. This site is must visit for any parent, 'cause parenting needs advice and minti.com provides it.

According to rockymountainnews.com, a video that shows a living breathing space alien will be shown to the news media onf Friday, May 30th, in Denver. the footage shows "an Extraterrestrial's head popping out of a window at night, looking in the window, that's visible through an infrared camera" says Jeff Peckman, who is pushing a ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs commission in Denver to prepare the City for close encounters of the alien kind. He reiterates that "It's really the final visual confirmation of what you already know to be true having seen all the other evidence".

An instructor at the colorado film School in Denver scrutinized the video very carefully and determined it was authentic, Peckman said. Earlier this month Peckman stated "the alien is 4 feet tall and can be seen blinking".

He said other related credible evidence proving aliens exist will also be shown at friday's news conference.

Can't wait to see the video. I will update this site with the alien video tomorrow. Don't forget to check it out here.

The Interrogators were encouraged to get as close to the torture statute line as possible - One of top defense officials. The prisoners in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay were actually tortured by the express permission of defense department duly approved as "torture policy" by Condolezza Rice, ignoring the concerns of the then attorney general.

The Justice department has released a 370 page Report on the torturing with testimonies of FBI officials outraged over the treatment of prisoners. Even women soldiers were encouraged to follow the torture methods which one wouldn't imagine a woman could do.

Google is an internet giant. Every one knows that. But many people do not know that how it has shaped its success sometimes through drastic failures. There are many projects that Google has failed at drastically and shelved even after putting a huge amount of effort and money into it. Google introduced some silly concepts like dialling a number to search, Google Coupons which were never found on their maps etc. Google Answers could not compete with its rival Yahoo because you have to pay to get the answer for your question. But Yahoo depended on its community and it is a success, though it is poorly organized. Google Catalogs is another failure service which has prices of two to three years old. There are some other products which were not successful but Google has learned a lot and has seen tremendous success. To know more about Google failures, see the link below.

What attracted me is the site has a forum to discuss issues of economy, policies, solutions, personal wealth protection etc. The subjects are again divided into several topics providing an opportunity for the readers to participate in the discussion. One can post his opinion as a guest also, without registering. Another section called Get Involved lists out several things to spread the awareness like emailing or calling congresspersons, telling friends etc. Frequent Questions section answers some questions relating to GDP, Trade Deficit, Networth etc. The site contains links to other economic analysis, debt management, subprime/housing websites also.

The site is interesting, brings several facts to our attention. This is an endeavour to spread the truth on US economy.

If we want to control eating disorders of our children, or teach them anger management, the first thing we do is Google and see which website is offering the best advice. On Google or Yahoo, millions of results are shown and definitely we have to sift through many websites to select the best website and browse.

But the website provided by Tufts University does the expert job of selecting the best websites and places them on its Child&family WebGuide site. The site is very neatly organised by categories like Family/ Parenting, Typical Child Development etc and divides into several sub-sections. Links to the best websites only are placed for each and every topic.

Navigation is very easy, appealing and convenient. You can find websites relating to various aspects of children belonging to different ages like anger management, stress management etc for teenagers.

This website is very exhaustive and updated constantly. The site has some great links for health insurance policies also. It is not an easy task to mention all the issues that the site has links.

This is a great non-profit site without even a shade of profitability.

A great site to get back to whenever we need to address an issue of children or family.

Beitbart.com reports today that a dog, Marine which was trained by a Japanese centre for sniffing cancer cells in humans is being cloned in South Korea. It is reported that two clones will be made, one will remain in south korea and the other will be taken to japan for studies. The owner of the dog Yuji Satoh also confirmed the cloning. The experts from Seoul National University have taken the skin samples from Marine for the Project.

Researchers believe that cancer cells emit a scent not present in other healthy cells and it can be picked up by dogs in urine samples. If the project succeeds, they plan to clone more dogs.

I wish this project succeeds and helps us in fighting the deadly disease of cancer.

I wish all luck to the researchers in making the project a big success.
