Thirunallar

          One of the destination that was part of the agenda of my visit to Chennai was Thirunallar, most noted for the shrine of Lord Shani in the temple dedicated to lord Darbaresvara, a form of Lord Shiva. This is the only temple that is dedicated to Lord Shani (Lord of Saturn).

This move by yahoo sure to kindle the interest again with the photographer community. One more addition to the already exciting change is the android app for flickr now made available in google play.

People who use Twitter (Tweeple) do have a lot more to add to the vocabulary. A tweetup is simply an in-person gathering organized via Twitter, often spontaneous. Companies use them for things like hosting launch parties, connecting with customers and introducing like-minded followers to each other. Tweeple - A person who uses twitter , has a twitter account, tweets regularly or all the people out there in Twitter. like in “Good Morning Tweeps(Tweeple) have a nice day” Twitizen – Just like a Citizen but the only difference here is that the country he belongs to is Twitter like in “An Average twitizen would know what a RT , DM , # means….” Twoob – A Twitter n00b Twacker – A computer programmer who is hacking twitter Twa
