The Big List Of Search Engines & Their Employees On Twitters

Yesterday, Google joined Twitter with a company account. We twittered a few search engine-related addresses as part of our post about that, but we wanted to do one that was a little more organized. So welcome to our big search engine Twitter list!
The list isn’t complete, nor will it ever be. But that’s how it went with blogging. A few years ago, search engines and their employees jumped into the world of blogging (our Search Engine Land blogroll lists a number of these). “Who’s blogging” lists soon emerged, until blogging became so mainstream that people stopped bothering to keep track.
Now the early adopters are turning to Twitter, and in turn, making it more mainstream. Here’s a starting list of who’s out there from the search engine world:

sawlakia.com: Common name for Kuki-Chin-Mizo people decided?


sawlakia.com blog'd about a common name for the Kuki-Chin-Mizo Community. This is always a controversial subject among the small groups of different tribes that can never come together. It is nothing new. It's the same bitter wine in a new jar.

Taking the percentages into view. Zomi seemed to have been favored. We would have said okay. Well, at last the Kuki-Chin-Mizo community will be called Zomi's. But, then we thought. Isn't that a bit strange. Taking Politics, Linguistics, Economics in the view. The question arises-Would the Lushai speaking Mizo population agree on being called a Zomi? Would a Thadou speaking Kuki call himself a Zomi? One or Two might. But there is still too much of bad blood around.

So as we were testing some Apps for some of our sites, we developed using Google Summer of Code API. We did a Pen(etration) test on the sawlakia.com This is the voting details..(No harm whatsoever was done to the shared hosting server in NL, Apache, the site, the Wordpress PHP Code's, or the sql Database. No Trz, No Wms, Vz, Dummies, no injection on sqldb, no poisoning on cache or cookies, RBT Drills were placed-Top Down Luka's Approach Leet Shit )

1. Only 2 votes cast from Mizoram by IP Back Trace (Not tested for proxy)


2. There were repeated Votes from Delhi from the same system, after the Browser Cookie Expired or the Cookie's were cleared. But TCP session and Handshake did take place again (thereby, making a new session-they could also have used Firefox Grease Monkey and kept the cookies in Temp). So, the server registered the session as new vote.


3. Votes from Hyderabad and Bangalore look genuine.

Our Suggestion to sawlakia.com . Wordpress is a wondering blogging system but with the ease and agility comes the security risk.

 ##Optimal Title 
lets you move the position of the title ’separator’ to after the blog name rather than before. Even though some folks have been saying that such naming is good from the SEO(Search Engine Optimization) point of view, I think it’s just a better way to title your posts. It will also produce better looking pingbacks when you link to external blog posts. (this is for your SEO, as your links look shitty or use Permalink)

## Nobody should be allowed to search your entire server.
Change this search code in the search.php

      
or change it to this
Use this one instead:
      

And  Block WP- folders from being indexed by search engines, the best way to block them in your robots.txt file. Add the following line to your list:
      Disallow: /wp-* 

But above all start with this Plugin...WP Security Scans

Keep Blogging..Merry Christmas





Recently, Zolengthe.net conducted an opinion poll on the common name for ‘Chhinlung chhuak’ (Zo? to Zomis, Lai to Lai people, etc) the result is below:

zo opinion poll
zo opinion poll
Zolengthe.net conducted an opinion poll on the choice of the nomenclatures which are being imposed on the Zo decendants by a foreigners. These nomenclatures are known as Kuki and Chin. On the other hand, the Zomi and Mizo are in a vice versa arrangement. The question of the poll goes…
Which nomenclature is politically acceptable in your opinion?
Amazingly, out of 52 opinions, 46 percent consisting of 24 votes opined Zomi as the best acceptable nomenclature for the Zo people. Sisteen votes (31%) go for Mizo and 9 and 3 votes for Kuki and Chin.
Source: Zolengthe.net
That is an interesting piece we’ve come across. Why only 54 people voted in the online poll? There are atleast over a thousand active internet users from Mizo community alone leave alone the number of Zomis. Why the poll was not published through Kuki-Chin-Mizo blogs and websites like misual.com, zogam.com, lawrkhawm.com, zawlbuk.net, maraland.net, chinworld.info, kukiforum.com and others? The opinion poll result does not really reflect the choice of the majority Kuki-Chin-Mizo internet users but most likely the choice of Zolengthe.net, a small group of enthusiast/Zo nationalist friends from Zomi tribe. If others like Nagas, Khasis, Manipuris, etc find out such poll, will they not laugh at us. We need to wake up and widen our views from something small like this. 54 votes indicate how many of us are united and are in one platform. It is pathetic.
In fact, the number of Kuki-Chin-Mizo is much bigger than Nagas, Khasis and other tribals in the region. We are present in Chittagon Hill Tracts, Bangladesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura and Mizoram in India; Chin state and Saigong Division in Myanmar.  However, Mizoram is our only Home for now.
