SPI Sledgehammer/small/spanbr //div br /Most stock components in a production car can only be
pushed so far. Keep adding horsepower and torque, and eventually...well, something is going to
break. Some people, however, are all about exploring the limits. Take Tym Switzer, for example. His
tuning company, Switzer Performance Innovation of Oberlin, Ohio has come up with a bolt-on tuning
package for the Porsche 997 911 Turbo that offersa
href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/28/first-drive-bugatti-veyron/" Bugatti Veyron/a aping
performance. So, how much power can the stock internals in Stuttgart's 3.8-liter flat-6 take?
Apparently, quite a lot. br /br /The shop has recorded 850 horsepower and 727 lb-ft of torque on
the rolling dyno, equating to over 1000 horsepower at the crank. Real world performance should be
mind boggling, with the car reportedly reaching 60 miles-per-hour in the mid two second range,
blowing through the 1/4 mile in just 9.79 seconds at 146 mph. Pricing looks to be just as fierce,
with the Sledgehammer package retailing for $span style="font-style: italic;"49,990/span. While
that's a lot of coin for a suite of bolt-ons, the performance would appear to speak for itself.

height="109" Let's say you're a butcher, a baker or a candlestick maker. You want to get up to
speed on the social media activity in your market, as fast as you can. Or perhaps you want to sell
things to candlestick makers online, or you're a journalist writing a story about blogging
butchers, or maybe you've got some kind of weird baking fetish or academic interest./p pIs there
any way to ramp up your knowledge of these fields, fast, other than the "Google and wander" method?
We think there is. Below you'll find step-by-step instructions, with screen shots, for the process
we use when we want to get smart about a new field in a hurry. /p p align="right"emSponsor/embr /a
href='http://d.openx.org/ck.php?n=13302amp;cb=13302' target='_blank'img
src='http://d.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=861amp;cb=13302amp;n=13302' border='0' alt='' align="right"
//a/p h2Works With Just About Anything/h2 pWe'll use the field of Education as our example, because
there is a lot of activity there and we presume we've got more educators as readers here than
butchers or candlestick makers. These methods can be applied to discovering the hottest people and
topics in social media in any field, though./p pIf you doubt that these kinds of steps could help
in your line of work - check out a
href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/reading_blogs_at_work.php"this post/a, where we found
the best work-related RSS feeds for Fire Inspectors and Physical Therapists, just to prove that we
could./p pIn the following 13 steps, we'll walk you through how we identify top blogs on any topic,
stronghow we quickly figure out what their most popular recent posts have been about, how we
incorporate their blog archives into our knowledge about the field and how we find where else they
are participating in conversation around the web./strong Going through the whole process takes us
less time than it took us to write this post./p pNo end of variations are possible, of course, on
this method - but we expect a lot of readers will find this useful. People new to social media are
often frustrated when they are told to "join the conversation" - because they aren't sure where to
emfind/em the conversation. Here's how we find and track the most popular conversations in niche
fields. Popularity isn't a perfect judge of quality by any means, but it's a good place to start
from. /p h2 Find the most popular blogs in your field/h2 span class="mt-enclosure
mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"img alt="media_1231532156057_lg.png"
src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/media_1231532156057_lg.png" width="610" height="384"
class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" //span
pThere are many different ways to identify the top blogs in a given field, systematically, but some
methods work better than others depending on the niche you're looking at. We compared a
href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/identify_top_blogs_redux.php"six of our favorite methods
in this post/a. Here, we found that visiting a
href="http://delicious.com/tag/blog+teaching"http://delicious.com/tag/blog+teaching/a gave us good
results. By default the URLs are listed in reverse chronological order - the most recent items that
anyone has bookmarked and have ever been called both quot;blogquot; and quot;teachingquot; will
appear first. In the image above you can see that we're running two a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748"Greasemonkey/a scripts called a
href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/five_great_delicious_hacks_in.php"Autopagerize and Sort
By Popularity/a. Greasemonkey is really easy to use, see our post a
href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/how_to_start_using_greasemonkey.php"How to Learn to Use
Greasemonkey in 5 Minutes./a. These scripts let us open multiple pages of bookmarks all at once and
then sort them in order of popularity. /p pSo we did that, then scanned down the top several pages
of most popular items tagged both quot;blogquot; and quot;teaching.quot; We tried words other words
like quot;educationquot; as well. Each time we found a good site, we copied the link to it and went
to step two./p h2 Add The Feeds to a Reader/h2 span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"
style="display: inline;"img alt="media_1231536376325_lg.png"

class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" //span pWe
like to use a href="http://netvibes.com"Netvibes/a to build collections of feeds because it's easy.
Click on quot;add itemsquot; then quot;add feedquot; and paste in the link to the top blog you
found. Netvibes will auto-discover the RSS feed for the site, often multiple variations but it
shouldn't matter which one you choose. We pick quot;RSS 2.0quot; just because it's the most
standard. Add it to your page and then go back to Delicious to find more sources./p pWe repeated
the discovery step until we found about 10 good blogs to subscribe to. Then we visited those blogs
and looked at their quot;blogrollsquot; or sidebar links to their favorite blogs. We found a number
of good sources to include in our list that we had never heard of before. One was a good looking
blog about education and technology that was written in Spanish, so we grabbed its feed and a
href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/mloovi_translate_any_rss_feed.php"ran it through
Mloovi.com/a to have it automatically translated into English, then put that translated feed into
Netvibes./p pbr / pOnce you've got a good collection of top blogs in that Netvibes quot;tabquot;
it's time to get it out of there. You can read the blogs in Netvibes, but there's more that we're
going to do with these blogs. When you're in the quot;add feedquot; screen, you'll see an quot;OPML
Exportquot; link. OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is the format that reading lists are
imported and exported from feed readers in. It's really simple. Export it to your dekstop and then
move onto the next step below. We're now going to edit an OPML file - but don't be scared! It's
easy, we promise. Anyone can do it./pbr / br / h2 Pull Out Your New Tab's Feeds/h2br / br / span

class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" //span/p p
pThis step assumes you've using Netvibes, or some other start page, for other things in addition to
this project. If that's not the case, skip to the next step. We use Netvibes for a number of
different things, so when we put together a new collection of feeds in it and want to export them,
we have to deal with the fact that our whole collection of feeds in all our tabs gets exported.
Simply search for the title of your tab in the file, then delete everything outside of that
section! Everything except the very beginning and end of the file, that is. You can see what it
should look like below, in the next step./pbr / br / h2The top of the OPML file./h2br / br / span

class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" //spanbr /
br / pDon't delete the document type declaration of the body tags. Rename the title of the file and
resave your document. Now don't you feel smart? That was really easy though!/pbr / br / h2Now to

class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" //spanbr /
br / pNow that you've got an OPML file of the most popular blogs in your field, you can take that
file over to a href="http://postrank.com"Postrank.com/a and import it. You'll need to create an
account, and the service doesn't allow you to manage multiple OPML files, so you may need to create
a new account for every time you do something like this. I just create a new account with a GMail
alias. Did you know that as while other apps, like Postrank, think that emailmarshall@gmail.com,
emailmarshall+1@gmail.com and emailmarshall+2@gmail.com are all different emails - Gmail considers
them the same thing? It's true, that's an alias and all emails sent to any of those will end up in
the same inbox. So I create a new account for each OPML file (silly, but that's how you've got to
do some of these things) and then import my new OPML file./pbr / br / h2Rank the Blog Posts With
Robots!/h2br / span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"img

class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" //spanbr /
pOnce you import that OPML file from your desktop, you'll probably notice that Postrank has seen
some of the feeds and not seen others. You should probably come back in an hour once they've
processed the remaining feeds. What are they doing? They are checking every item in every feed to
see how many comments it has, how many inbound links, how man times it's been bookmarked in
Delicious or Digg, how many times people Tweeted about it, etc. It's then ranking each item in each
feed on a scale of 1 to 10, relative only to the other items in that same feed. /p/p pWhat does
this mean? It means you can have Postrank show you only the most popular posts in each of these top
blogs, as determined by the blogs' own communities of readers. That's valuable information! It's a
very fast way to get up to speed on the latest hot topics in your field and by subscribing to the
feeds filtered for popular items, you can pay peripheral attention to this field but know that
you'll never miss a really big story. Thanks Postrank!/p If you're interested in the Greatest Hits

pBlogs are great, but they aren't the only place where important discussion is going on online -
not in almost any field anymore. Thought leaders in the education blogosphere are also having a lot
of conversation on a href="http://twitter.com"Twitter/a and a
href="http://friendfeed.com"FriendFeed/a, they are uploading presentations to a
href="http://slideshare.net"SlideShare/a and participating in other online communities. You can
connect with them quickly and easily by using the Google Social Graph API. Martin Atkins has built
a href="http://martin.atkins.me.uk/peoplesearch/"a very handy little interface that anyone can
use/a to discover social media accounts registered to a person's name. We use that daily. /p/p pIn
the example above, Dave Perry of Academhack mentioned his Twitter account, so we searched for his
Twitter name in the Google People Search site and found his Slideshare account too. This will work
better for some people than for others, but sometimes it's a really big help./p pstrongSo there you
go./strong If you follow these steps, you'll be able to discover the top bloggers in any field,
view or subscribe to just their most popular posts, search against their archives and befriend them
elsewhere around the web! We hope this has been useful. Thanks for following along. If you can
suggest better steps to take at any point in this process, or additional things you like to do -
we'd love to hear about it!br / br / br / br / br / /p p br / br / /p stronga

src="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/img/photo-gallery.gif" border="0" //a/centerbr / pWe had some time
with the MSI Wind U120 Wimax Edition and we were glad to see that it is a nice netbook, with a
superior construction quality when compared to the MSI Wind, the (older) Asus Eee or even the
Samsung NC10. Below the surface, it is not so different from older netbooks in its category, but it
has WiMax. ldquo;How fast is it?rdquo; you will ask. Unfortunately, this was just a tech demo and
the WiMax base station was one yard away from the MSI YU120, so sure, it felt fast, but it
canrsquo;t be an indication of real-life use./p pstrongThe bottom-line/strong: the attractiveness
is up, the rest is marginally different (except for WiMax!) compared to older netbooks. Note that
the U120 has been reported to be more difficult to upgrade (memory) then the MSI wind. Not a big
deal, except if yoursquo;re a novice user./p pPermalink: a

Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming language features to GNOME
developers without imposing any additional runtime requirements, and without using a different ABI
compared to applications and libraries written in C. hr / strongLicense:/strong GNU Lesser General
Public License (LGPL) hr / strongChanges:/strongbr / This release supports += for arrays to
efficiently append elements. Array initializers can now be used as expressions, and also support
multi-dimensional arrays. The array length is automatically calculated for null-terminated arrays
received from C libraries. The # operator has been replaced by the more intuitive (owned)
expression. Boxed structs are now supported as GObject properties. Many bugs in the compiler and
bindings have been fixed. pa
