Introducing the WebCloud!
Here’s my latest project on WebSoda: The WebCloud!
What’s the WebCloud anyway? Well, it’s the Top 50 website list on WebSoda.net, bigger websites represent websites with more votes, while those in vivid red are the ones with higher scores (either by Votes or Frequency).
One curious fact is that BodyBuilding.com is the most voted website (and has a very high score too). This is actually because the website was stickied in their forum, which generated many hundreds of votes. However, even though the websites are viewed on a random order, common websites such as YouTube, Wikipedia, Gmail, or Google, are quite big in the cloud too!
I’m starting to think that it is very common for visitors to vote for website they know, and skip other websites which may not be of their interest or they may not know about. Another hypothesis could be that users are likely to search for an URL and vote. Here’s a list of conclusions based on the limited WebSoda population:
1. Facebook > hi5 > MySpace
Facebook is bigger (more votes) and more colored compared to MySpace or hi5. I’m not a fan of social networking, but I’ve been reading a lot of comments about angry MySpace users or visitors anyway, and a few about hi5.
2. Google > Yahoo!
Google is probably on the top 5 websites, while Yahoo! is at least 10 ranks below, with a lower score too.
3. Million Dollar Homepage has a high score but low frequency
Comparing the Score vs. Frequency, the Million Dollar Homepage has a very hgh score, however, its frequency is very low. There’s not really a big discovery there (since that website’s no longer the web hype, and either way it’s not common for a visitor —or at least for me— to return), but it means that WebSoda’s ratings are not inaccurate (at least for this website!).
I’m starting to draw lots of other conclusions, I’ll be adding more websites this week (thanks for everyone who added their websites!), in the meantime please help the WebCloud have better results by voting! What else can you tell me about the WebCloud that I missed?
Remember: This conclusions are based on statistic data (aka. very prone to errors) from votes casted by users.

I just have to post about this, but this reminded me of the latest news with Craigslist CEO asking for an apology from the AG of South Carolina. Always something new with CL and events in the news.

I had this article and wanted to share it on your blog.
WANT AN ENVIABLE UPPER BODY?
Got 45 minutes to spare? Sweat through these seven exercise and you’ll have arms like the model in these pages in six to eight weeks.
There is a common misconception many inexperienced female exercisers share when it comes to working their upper body – that of getting bulky and building too much mass in their arms. True, these exercises will help build muscle, but unless you’re taking steroids, bulk is not going to happen. Rather, you’ll be tightening and streamlining those batwings that are currently standing in for triceps. To get sleeveless-worthy arms, you must lift heavy. Your arms should be quivering on your last three reps. Your goal is to be exhausted after you finish this arm sculpting routine.
Don’t think an upper body workout is limited to just biceps and triceps; you must get some shoulder and chest work in there too. Again, most women are afraid of looking manly, but the truth is, nothing is more attractive than a well-defined upper body - chest and shoulders included - which, by the way will also make your waist look trimmer without a single crunch
Dumbbell chest press
Lie face up on a flat bench, holding dumbbells above midchest Slowly. inhale as you lower the weights so your elbows are at 90 degrees. Press the weights back up as you exhale, squeezing your chest muscles at the top of the movement. Avoid arching your back and do not lock your elbows at the top of the movement.
Incline dumbbell curl
Sit back on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand, arms hanging at your sides. Curl the weights up to shoulder level, then lower again in a controlled motion. Make sure your elbows are forward throughout the movement Once you return to the staring position, pause. This will help you avoid swinging the weights back up. Kristia says these curls-are great for overall biceps development.
EZ bar triceps extension
Sit on the end of a flat bench with your feet firmly on the floor and your back straight. Hold an EZ bar (or a barbell) straight above your head, with your hands six to eight inches apart. Slowly lower the bar behind your head. Return to starting position. Don’t move your elbows and upper arms. This exercise can also be done standing
Good Morning
Position a barbell across the back of your shoulders and gasp the ends with an overhand grip. Bend at your hips to lower your torso forward until almost parallel to the floor. Then raise your torso until hips are extended. Start with a very light weight and keep adding additional weight gradually to allow your body to adapt.
Rules to live by
As we all know, the key to a stellar upper body is not only in the training; diet plays a large role as well. Load your diet with plenty of muscle-building protein - fish , chicken, beans (chole, rajma, channa, paneer). One hard and fast rulet live by is, within one hour of training, restore your energy levels with a complex carb (banana, dalia porridge or whole wheat sandwich). If you’re not getting the results you want, chances are the problem is in your diet. If you’re new to weight training, aim for three sets of eight to 15 for each exercise in this routine. But where weights are concerned, heaviness really depends on the individual. Keep your pace as follows: up for a count of two, down for a count of three. The slower the better. You want resistance and control.
Triceps dip
Facing away from a flat bench, hold on to the edge with your hands shoulder width apart to support your body weight. Keep your arms straight without locking your elbows. The small of your back should be close to the edge of the bench. Keep your feet together and knees bent at about a go-degree angle. When in the start position, you should look as though you’re silting in an invisible chair.
To start the move, slowly bend your elbows to lower yourself as far as possible so you get a full range of motion. Return to the start position. When you’re ready, you can increase resistance by having a partner place weights on your lap.
Overhand biceps curl
Hold the bar with your hands shoulder-width apart, with an overhand grip. In a slow, steady motion, raise your forearms until they are almost vertical, then lower the bar in a slow arc back to the starting position. Keep elbows and upper body motionless with elbows level with the body.
Back press
Sitting on a bench with your back straight, hold a barbell behind your neck. Press up slowly until your arms are straight above your head. Don’t lock your elbows. Lower the barbell back to the starting position.

Hello webmaster I like your post

Many people know the importance of macros however many people do not understand the importance of micronutrients or probably don?t even know what I mean by micronutrients. By micronutrients I mean vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals are very important to daily life processes. They are used to speed up nearly every action of all the body systems. But I will not go into complete detail on what all the vitamins and minerals do. But I will suggest using supplementation to get your daily amount of vitamins preferably twice a day pills, I rather twice a day instead of once a day because it will give you a constant supply of vitamins and minerals. See drinking all of that water will flush out a lot of your vitamins and minerals throughout the day if you only take a one a day supplement. However, I will suggest introducing one mineral to your diet especially after your workout, magnesium it is used for muscle contraction, protein metabolism, and energy. Some professional football trainers even go as drastic

I tried two times this morning to access your website. Are you having problems with your site hosting? Is it my Internet connection?
January 30th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
Great stuff as usual…I personally have embraced the new technologies and the CMS platforms, I think the new tools only make the web designs better. I am glad that new technologies are coming out in web design that make things easier, improved, and better looking for design.

Computer technology changes so fast
