while some may know, It's still summarize what Alexa rating really is.
It's a means of weighing and measuring the amount of success or popularity a website has at a certain point of time.
Alexa relies heavily on counting / calculating the total average number of hits towards any url / website. While Alexa might have many ways of reaching their results towards those calculations. One of the very accurate means for them to record these hits is by the ALEXA TOOLBAR plugin.
The more people use this plugin, the easier for Alexa to note with more accuracy the popularity of the websites they will go to.
While this works for Alexa, it will also in effect work for anyone who's website is being frequented with users who have Alexa Toolbar installed in their web browser.
Just ask your users to download this plugin and install it and keep visiting your website normally. You'll see exponential growth in your Alexa ratings in a matter of days.

Google Gravity: A neat trick?
Google Gravity seems like nothing but a neat trick or an April's Fool Prank only that it's not April and there's no occasion. But the fact is that Google Gravity is nothing more than a prank for the internet folk.
Go to this page,http://mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google_gravity/ and you'll find your screen showing a fake google search page with objects first being in their place then falling down like as if there was gravity affecting them within the page.
They will fall to the ground and bounce off a few times before actually settling down. That's all there is to it.
Here's a youtube video to illustrate this,

Google real time search
Google real time search is a new phenomena taking over the internet which seems to change the way searches were made in the past.
The idea was taken from Twitter that already has a relevance based search engine in place to track related tweets with each other.
To witness this all you have to do is search for something on Google. Open "show options" tab if you haven't done it already and click on 'latest' in the left side navigation options.
Google will automatically keep updating the page with new posts relevant to your search from various micro blogs, twitter pages, facebook, myspace etc. It will be like viewing an RSS feed as it updates itself.
It's pretty interactive. As far as it's usefulness is concerned, I'll leave you to be the judge.

Using luxury cell phones is uncessary
People like to buy really expensive phones to such an extent that it becomes an obsession.
Being in the banking sector I know a few people who would have seriously expensive phones. Even then that's not enough they'd like their cell phones to be gold plated or embedded with diamonds. They get their phones customized by various gold and diamond decorators etc.
What's the point? Cell phones is an evolving technology. Every three to six months or so you get a new cell phone from the same range that completely overlaps the technology and features stuffed in your old one.
I would say it's nothing more than an obsession. A simple enough cell phone with ample features is good enough for me.

Traveling alone isn't fun
Can you imagine having to travel alone with no one to give you company all your way to which ever destination you're going? It's not a funny picture.
I mean, a few hours trip is alright to go alone. But it's always better to have a friend or two around to give company.

What are you really afraid of?
Everybody is afraid of one thing or another. When people say they're not really afraid of anything. They're obviously hiding something.
Conventional scare crows and ghosts apart anything from like losing a friend, credit rating, job or even a pet could be the most scariest thoughts for people. The point is that being scared and feeling insecure is in the nature of human beings. It's not easy to run away from this fact.
While people can make emphatic attempts at trying to 'hide' these type of emotions they're still there. Best thing one could do is to minimize the factors that could arouse such type of thoughts and events resulting in being a scare problem. Like indulging in positive activities both beneficial to health of body and soul.
