Take Photos and Selfies By Just A Whistle !

When you hear the word "hands-free" then what is the first thing that strikes your brain? An earphone, right ? because hands-free lets you listen to your favorite music and calling without having any physical touch with your phone, but definition of hands-free is not going to remain the same for a long time because in this competitive digital era developers, around the globe are trying their best to bring something unique to the table. 
Now let me give you another and a new definition of "hands-free" in the context of camera in your android smartphone. Imagine that you are driving a car and want to take pictures of the landscapes, then what will you do? You will stop the car to take pictures. Right? But no worries, you can easily take awesome high quality snaps while keeping your hands busy with the steering by having a whistle detecting camera installed on your smartphone. Whistle detecting camera apps also let you take your selfies and pictures even when you are wearing gloves and not able to use the touchscreen. Here are the two camera apps for your android smart phone which lets you to take pictures and selfies by just a whistle.

1: Whistle Camera 

Whistle camera lets you whistle to take snapshots and selfies. This app can control your front and back camera easily. Taking pictures is very easy, just open the app and whistle, this app will automatically take picture. I have personally used this app and found the app works exactly what it says. You can also use volume up button to take pictures. If you want to take selfie with your front camera then a count down of 3 seconds starts just after you whistle and after 3 seconds your selfie is ready to share on the social networks. In the app settings you can change the gallery location of your pictures and and also tweak the sensitivity for the whistle detector. By default the sensitivity of the whistle detector is 3 which worked perfect for me, but you can change it accordingly when you are in the noisy areas. The app is available for free. I have attached a screenshot of whistle camera here to show you the user interface of the app but please ignore the bad picture quality as the front camera of my phone is just 2 MP. I took this selfie by just whistling. ;-)

Cons :
This app supports advertisements which may annoy you a little bit but you can upgrade the app to pro to remove advertisements and the other point, whistle camera only supports camera and not the video recorder, so it can not be the perfect replacement of the default google camera that comes with our phone.

2) Whistle Cam

Whistle cam is a whistle detecting camera which also lets you to take pictures automatically with your whistle. The good part about this app is you can adjust white balance according to the surroundings before taking a picture. You can directly share the pictures to the social networks with its one tap feature, you can get this app for free from the play store.

Cons:
I have used this app and found the app does not supports the front camera and the sensitivity of the whistle can not be adjusted however the default setting works pretty good.

Verdict

These apps have made daily photography a fun. These apps will enhance the smartness of your smatphone. So it is worth to try them.

Top 3 Samsung Group Play Alternatives To Play Music Together On Any Android !

You might be aware of the group play feature of Samsung galaxy s4. It lets you share music play in real time with your nearby friends to play music on all devices and convert the connected devices into a single huge virtual stereo system. Group play supports a maximum of eight devices to share music play in real time but it is only supported on the Samsung galaxy smart phones (Particularly Galaxy S4) which run on android 4.2 or above. The initiative taken by samsung is brilliant but there is  a limitation that if you own samsung galaxy s4 then also you need to have atleast one more samsung galaxy s4 to act as a portable speaker. Therefore it is rare to enjoy this functionality completely in practical life, but what if there are similar apps which can be run on any android device to enjoy the personal disco without disturbing your neighbours ?  So here are the top three group play alternatives which you can use even on your non-samsung android smart phone and enjoy the virtual home theater system with your friends.

1) Music Pool

Music pool works similar to the Samsung-Group play. It can play music wirelessly on the android devices over wifi connection. You may feel the app has a ugly layout but never judge a book from its cover page.The devices which have the app can act as a community loudspeaker when the music is played together. It is your personal music player as well as a portable speaker. It is the first app of its type. If your friends are also having the app in their device then one device will act as a music player while others as portable speakers. Is in’t it cool ? But the app is yet in a beta version so it may create glitches in some devices and also there is no way to control the music playback.

How to use Music Pool ?

Step 1: Install Music pool from the play store on all of your devices. It is available for free in the play store.

Step 2:Give it a nickname of your choice, so that the name will be broadcasted on the other online devices.

Step 3:Tap the play button on the home screen, it will list you the available songs in your device to play. Just  mark the songs you want to play and hit the play button.

Step 4:As soon as you tap the play button the songs will get synchronized automatically to an online server.

Now open the music pool app on the other devices and tap listen button.

2) Sound Seeder

Sound seeder lets you listen to your favorite music and synchronize your music play on the other devices by using a wifi connection on the go. The complete functionality of this app comes in the two distinct apps which you and your friends can download from the play store. Install the sound seeder music player from the play store on one device running on android 4.1 or above and sound seeder speaker on the other devices (android 2.2 froyo or above), on which you want to share your music play and online radio streaming. It also lets you control play back and volume remotely. It has a google play music support. Premium version of sound seeder supports upto 16 portable speakers to synchronise and create a private disco while in the free version, you can connect up to two speakers for 15 minutes as often you want to. In the free version you will also notice the banner ads. If you want to use full functionality ,you can upgrade to premium by the in-app purchase.

3) Chorus

Chorus brings the samsung group play functionality to any android device running on android 2.3(Gingerbread) or above. This app is available for free in play store. The app has a good user interface but as it is currently in beta version so it may create some problems while synchronizing.

How To Use Chorus ?

Step 1: Install chorus on all of your android devices running on android 2.3 or above.

Step 2: Create a new username of your choice and tap the "Host" blue button, it will ask you to create a hotspot or connect using an available wifi connection. 

Step 3: Add songs to the playlist and tap the check mark on the top right corner to play. 

Step 4: Scroll music player screen from right to get your 'chorus id'.

Step 5: Now open chorus on the other device within the wifi or hotspot range and tap 'Join' and enter the chorus id of the other device to get sync.

As I said it is not recommended to use any third party facebook applications blindly. However it is not completely impossible to know who looks at my facebook.I recently found Profile Visitors For Facebook which has made this actually possible with its unique concept.

What is Profile Visitors For Facebook?

Profile visitors for facebook is a free Google chrome extension that enables you to track who views your facebook.It works what exactly it says, but the only limitation is it only works for the chrome users so you can only track those visitors who already have this extension installed on their chrome and visiting your profile from their chrome browser other wise this extension will not work. So it is better to make your friends aware about the extension and insist them to install this extension.

How To Use Profile Visitors For Facebook ?

1. Download Profile visitors for facebook from here in your Google chrome.
2. Now login to your facebook account, you will now notice an extra 'visitors' tab next to the left of 'home' on the top blue bar.
   
   
3. Click on it, a popup will open showing you the recent visitors of your facebook profile with time, but as I mentioned before, it will only show those visitors who have already installed the extension. 

Profile visitors for facebook is a 100% free and advertisement free chrome extension. It's concept is cool and works great if more persons are using it. If you know any other working trick regarding the profile visitors, feel free to suggest me.

How To Rank At The Top Of Google ?[SEO Today Infographic]

Do you own a website or blog ? Do you know about Google animal penalties ? Every blogger and internet marketer has a dream to make his webpage on the top of search engine rankings, but choosing the right path is most important to stay friendly with the Google animal algorithms. Search engine optimization is the only golden opportunity for bloggers to drive lots and lots of free traffic to a website and it also improves alexa rank, page rank and domain authority, but due to continuous increase in competition and increasing spam links, search engines have changed their concepts of ranking. Few years back the popularity of a website or blog only depended on the total number of backlinks. i.e the blog which was having thousands
of backlinks was the king for Google but today it is quite opposite, i.e the website which has thousands of backlinks including low quality links is most likely to be penalized by Google animals (Penguin,Panda and Hummingbird).

We bloggers have to emphasize on off-page optimization and on page optimization both. On-page optimization helps to index web pages in search engines faster and increase reader engagement by internal linking of pages, It is also one of the major factor in google page rank, and also provides more organic exposure to the blog, while off page optimization includes quality link building, social media shares, social bookmarking shares, shares on article directories like ezine articles.  In fact off page optimization is more sensitive part of SEO, if not done smartly then it may ruin your online business permanently.Without any prior experience, black hat strategies must be avoided completely on your most beloved blog. Blog commenting is still the best strategy to build up the quality backlinks and traffic to a blog. Backlinks from .edu and .gov websites are like super powers to a blog. You may try services like putmylink or dropmylink to find high PR commentluv, gov, .edu websites of the same niche and comment on atleast 10 blogs daily, it would not only build up the relationships with your fellow bloggers but also create the more number of quality backlinks to your blog.
Now coming to on-page seo, on-page optimization includes the following factors:

• High quality original content
• Keyword research.
• Use of proper meta tags of around 150 words including important keywords.
• Custom permalinks
• Image optimization
• Loading speed optimization.
• Proper keywords in the heading <H1>, <H2> and <H3> tags.
• 301 and 302 redirects if necessary. 
• Removal of broken links (You may try Xenu's link Sleuth tool)
• Proper sitemap
• Internal Linking

IDF marketing has created an infographic which gives the brief and to the point overview of  on-site factors and importance of high quality content and social media signals. Should you use video,images as an alternative of text content ? To find out more just check out the excellent infographic designed by IDF marketing below.

Hike Messenger Is Better Than Whatsapp: Is it True ?

Whatsapp is a clear global leader of instant messengers and is often used by billions of people around the world.It has also succeeded to conquer facebook in terms of daily active users and new signups.No doubt Whatsapp is the best IM app out there because all of our friends live in it, that's why we do not want to switch to some other platform. Today there are many alternatives of whatsapp but 'Hike messenger' is the only app which have enough guts to challenge whatsapp makers. However Telegram is also a good whatsapp alternative but it is only available for android and iphone users. So in this post, we will be considering hike which is struggling hard to steal the whatsapp users permanently. So lets figure out the 11 strong reasons which are in favour of hike messenger.

1. File Size: Recently,Hike has updated its system and now it allows its users to send files of upto 100 MB each,while the maximum file size of media supported by whatsapp is just 16 MB each. However if the file is larger than 16 MB, whatsapp provides the option of trimming the video to make it possible but it degrades the media quality.
2. Email Alternative: Hike supports media formats as well as documents including .ppt , .doc, docx and pdf file formats, therefore it is a good email alternative as email can tolerate an attachment which is a maximum of 25 MB of file size while hike can tolerate upto 100 MB of each attached file.
   
3. Money Making App: If you have ever used hike then you must be knowing about the hike rewards. Hike is the app which actually pays Rs. 20 for each successful referral and Rs. 15 to the new user who signs up. The user can redeem the money as a talktime for his phone after the minimum earning of Rs. 50. If you are on postpaid plan then after the hike reward redemption, your next bill amount will get reduced by the amount you redeemed. Now you must be thinking why they are paying ? They are doing it for their promotions, instead of paying millions for advertisements, they are benefitting their users. This is a good strategy used by them to get a huge coverage. You can invite your friends on hike by free hike sms and your friend has to download the hike app before 96 hours of your invitation otherwise you will not get the Hike referral reward. The only grey side is it is a limited time promotional offer and valid till 12/05/2014, so if you have not earned from Hike till yet then go for it and grab your first free talktime by just sending hike invitations to your friends who have never used hike. Last year I made more than Rs. 250 in one week from Hike by inviting friends.
   UPDATE: Hike Rewards Are Again Live So Go For It.
   Proof:
   
   
   
   
4. 2-Way Chat Themes: Hike supports creating chat environment according to your mood and emotion.Hike users can change the chat theme of a particular friend and the theme will be visible on both sides.
5. Stickers: You can make your chat more colorful and fun by sending exciting and occasional stickers along with the smilies to your friends.The another good thing is sticker sets get updated regularly in a month or two.
6. Free SMS: Unlike other instant messengers, Hike users are privileged to get 100 sms per month for free for their non-hike friends. No need to have sms packs on your mobile if you are already having a mobile data plan and Hike on your device. Hike users also get 50 sms as bonus for each successful invitataion along with Rs. 20. However, Hike-to-sms can only be sent within India.
7. Better Notifications: Whatsapp uses double check marks below each sent message to notify the sender about the message delivery. If the message got two checkmarks, it means the message is successfully delivered otherwise there might be some problem with the reciever's data connection or any thing like that. While in Hike, the sender can clearly see the 'R' , 'S' or 'D' below each sent message which means Read, Sent and Delivered and if your friend is currently offline then it will notify you that your friend is currently offline and at this instant you can use free hike-to-sms to reach your friend's inbox.Hike also notifies you whenever the profile picture or status of your friend gets updated.
8. Lifetime Free: Hike is an advertisement free and life time free app while subscription for whatsapp is free only for the first year and from the next year it costs about $0.99/year.
   
   
9. Better Privacy: Whatsapp fetches all contacts from the phonebook and matches them with the whatsapp users and then automatically add all the contacts to the whatsapp contact list. While hikers have to send and accept friend requests to ensure privacy. Each hiker can choose to show or hide his last seen to his friend.However, Whatsapp also lets you hide last seen at: but there are still many bugs in their time stamp system.
10. Movable to SD Card: The latest version of hike can now be moved to SD card of the device after installation. This is a great feature for those who have a little phone memory or already loaded with other apps. While whatsapp does not officially supports move-to-sdcard feature.
    
11. 128 Bit SSL Encryption: This feature is added by hike buddies by keeping wifi users in their mind. If you are on public wifi then there is no need to worry about the passive attacks and
    eavesdropping. You have to just switch on the 128 bit SSL encryption inside settings->privacy. Chat logs are safe with hike. While whatsapp(android) chat logs gets saved inside whatsapp-> database folders in the SD card which are encrypted but can be converted to plain text with third party applications and python scripts. Also if you are on a open public wifi then the whatsapp chat logs are highly vulnerable to be sniffed by the other users who are also on the same wifi.
12. [NEW] Hidden Mode : This is a new feature introduced by Hike team. This makes you to make any of your chat private and hidden from the whole world. Only you can access the hidden chat with a password created by you. Now this is something which seems to be impressive as whatsapp does not have this feature.

Verdict: It is not easy for any app developer to compete with the giants like whatsapp, but it seems like hike developers are struggling very hard and periodically updating their system, creating promotional offers to make the results more fruitful. However users will always remain the king  as it solely depends on them and their need  to decide the best apps for themselves. I have used almost all alternatives of whatsapp but in my opinion hike is much better than the other big players like Wechat and Line. But whatsapp can not be ignored as all of our friends live in it and they are the only reason why instant messengers came into existence.
