5 ways to make use of twitter
Its been long now since twitter totally tookover almost every social networking site. Facebook one of the top social networking site has almost revamped its user interface to match like twitter. Some on twitter only said “If you can’t be them, then just copy them” .. LoooL 
I use twitter actively and with the handle realin.Well here are few things which i think can be done using twitter .
1) Social Networking Follow Follow Follow a lot interesting people, or whatever you can think of. You think of a product, be it wordpress, techcrunch, gigaom,digg you find all of them on twitter. So that way you directly know what is happening on their front.
2) Updates about the rest of the world Almost every news channel or media agency is on twitter today. So they flash news everytime they update it on live television or on their websites. So when you are away from your TV and are lazy enuff to scroll through RSS feeds you can rely on twitters.
3) People spread the word Retweet is the other name of fire in the forest. If there is something really big or important, like mumbai attacks in India 26/11, everyone was getting updates on twitter. People do it using the hastags like #mumbai, #FAIL etc
4) Jobs and other business opportunities You are able to meet genuine people over internet around the world using twitter. They definitely are of any use at any time in your professional or social life. Like i am getting married and many event organizers have contacted me using twitter. Other than this once in a month i get a job offer or a freelance work option using twitter. Its like easiest way to outsource work to india now. You do not need to login into any job sites or stuff.
5) You are not bored at all This is the best thing !! With twitter you are never bored, because somewhere someone is tweeting around when you are feeling bored. So its kinda miniblog + Chat + Social networking.
I feel twitter is the best thing happened to internet. At first I thought its just like other social networking sites like orkut, myspace, facebook, but guys its really different and you will love it.
Applications i use to access my twitter account
Twhirl -the social software client
Twitterfox – mozilla firefox addon
I am also planning to create one app for myself, lets see when i get time to do so 
Cheers!!

Realin goes to Gym
Alright the time has come when my tummy started to grow more than its limit and i am kinda worried. So I decided to join gym for the sake of shreding some wait and squeeze my tummy. I being a punjabi is ought to have a tummy and when i see my dad’s early 80s pictures, awww mann he was as thin as I was 2-3 months back . But now if you see his current physique he is like 4 times than me.
So to cut the heredity effect I am Gyming everyday now. The coach says that i have good buil and the base is really solid so it wont take much time for me to squeeze this thing off. But still when he asks me to do AB excercise .. awwww god ..
I have changed my diet, my breakfast is now a glass full mil with some cornflakes, unlike 4 stuffed pranthas with loads of butter 
which used to be there 2 weeks back.
I have started my excercise with 1200+ mts of walk+running followed by 5mins of cross walker .. and then the normal gyming excercises. Feels good cause i can see the results. Would recommend all the software engineers who code all day sitting right at their chairs and eat lotsa cheese, sweets, and oily food to go ahead and spare some time for their health

BarCamp Punjab , is it really going to be there?
Just now got a call from Assistant Director of Lovely Professional University , Mr. vaibhav Mittal. I am the alumni of same college and i have been asked to participate in BarCamp Punjab. Well actually not participate but drive it. I always wanted that punjab should have its own barcamp cause students from punjab have really got the energy but they don’t get the proper platform to show what they have in them . It is the first initiative that we all going to take it unitedly. I would like to ask all the readers of my blog, to please step forward and enlighten the state punjab (land which is responsible for outputing maximum IT/Computer Engineers ) with BarCamp.
For now, do not have much details on it, but i am sure things gonna be pretty clear very soon. For registration and carpooling etc, Please keep on checking this space for more information.
Cheers !!
