Some tips for "WHAT NOT TO SAY"
Don’t say: “You look tired.”
Why: It implies she doesn’t look good.
Instead say: “Is everything OK?” We often blurt the “tired” comment when we get the sense that the other person feels out of sorts. So just ask.
Don’t say: “Wow, you’ve lost a ton of weight!”
Why: To a newly trim person, it might give the impression that she used to look unattractive.
Instead say: “You look fantastic.” And leave it at that. If you’re curious about how she got so svelte, add, “What’s your secret?”
Don’t say: “You look good for your age.”
Why: Anything with a caveat like this is rude. It's saying, "You look great―compared with other old people. It's amazing you have all your own teeth."
Instead say: “You look great.”
Don’t say: “I could never wear that.”
Why: It can be misunderstood as a criticism. (“I could never wear that because it’s so ugly.”)
Instead say: “You look so good in skinny jeans.” If you slip, say something like “I could never wear that…because I wasn’t blessed with your long legs.”

The video appears at very small angle intervals, with different pictures for the left and right eyes. The parallax makes the video appear three-dimensional.
This display shows pictures from 360 viewpoints, differing by 1 degree each, simultaneously.
Because several people can view the display at once, it could be used in personal communication tools in the home, such 3D photo frames and videophones, as well as digital signage and events.

What is the meaning of url shortening
URL shortening is a technique in which a URL may be made substantially shorter in length. This involves using an HTTP Redirect on a domain name that is short to link to a website which has a long URL. Domain names are linked to IP addresses; however, in order to be human friendly, the Latin alphabet can be used. Sometimes this can lead to extremely long URLs. For example, the URL http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TinyURL&diff=283621022&oldid=283308287 can be shortened to http://tinyurl.com/mmw6lb
Following are some of the sites that could be used for URL Shortening

What is microblogging????????
Blogging means sharing your knowledge, views, images, etc with the world.
And the article which you share could be of any length.
But microblogging refers to making microblogs.
A microblog differs from a traditional blog in a way that content of microblog is typically much smaller, in terms of both actual size and aggregate file size. A microblog entry could consist of nothing but a short sentence fragment, an image or embedded video.
Microbloggers post about topics ranging from the simple, such as "what I'm doing right now," to the thematic, such as "sports cars."
Examples of microblog sites are
1)TWITTER
2)POWNCE
3)TUMBLR
4)POSTEROUS
5)JAIKU
6)MYSAY
7)HICTU
8)MOODMILL
9)FRAZR
10)IRATEMYDAY
11)EMOTIONR
The trend of microblogging is here to stay because of its growing popularity,the simplicity and ability to post frequently.
