Server Upgrade Alert

June 2nd, 2010

This has been a monthly feature in my routines, start of the month go for a better server.Tonight we are going to upgrade the server and also change the nodes.So Indianbee will be out of service for atleast 1 hour.I really wish we can make it happen within that period of time but nothing is in my hands.

The good news, we are getting faster.Even if you are struggling with a 56Kbps connection you should be in for a surprise.We will be reducing the page load times by half. and this also ensures you wouldnt be using up your bandwidth’s. With some of the users mailing me about BSNL and other networks charging for MB’S and not time has prompted this response from us.

Thank You and Keep Buzzing !!

We got fancy

May 19th, 2010

Yep,Now youc an access your profile by typing http://indianbee.com/username. You canoot change this once your account has been created.So if you need a change of user-name sorry we don’t encourage it because if some of your friends were to search the bee, they might find two very similar profiles that is not a good thing and also we don’t want to deal with more identity theft complaints…I am already dealing with couple of those everyday.

So if you have a very common username ..just register it here before someone does and it would be lost for every as our policy doesn’t allow profile pruning

Cheers all, gotta hit the sack now

IndianBee gets a toolbar and available in Hindi

January 6th, 2010

I am very happy that I manage to make IndianBee more than Indian than :) ever with providing the complete on the fly one click translation into English into Hindi.

Other Indian Languages mainly south Indian languages will be added soon.It makes so much difference when we can go online and read stuff in our own mother tongue. Though it will be a very difficult task to achieve its worth while.

Plus the toolbar is jsut  for the lazy few who try hard to move the cursor all the way to the top of the screen for the menu’s you can get the search and the frequently used links.

I was relacutant to open up search to non-registered members but analysis requires the search to be open for public atleast for a month then it will be decided upon the results from the analysis whether to keep it open or closed.

Thanks Folks

Good Night

G Upgraded IndianBee To A PR5 Website

December 31st, 2009

I dont give much to PR and stuff as it doesnt really show a websites stand in searches.But it does show the quality of content a website carries.I am surprised that they updated the PR today on 31st.

Okay the more important stuff is that we are ready for moving the server to AMAZON.Amazon S3 service lets anyone use huge amounts of storage space at rock bottom prices.Something like a GN for $.015 thats hundred times less than what we are paying now.

And as the videos are getting huge and we offering HD videos makes the move sensible, So to all you indianbee users what is the biggest video file you guys have try them on :)

So expect more errors and slow load times of  in house videos.As I try my best to get it done as soon as possible.The in house video upload will be unavailable until further notice.

This will make IndianBee the best video sharing platform allowing uploads free of cost.

Thanks

Expect Some Error Pages

December 24th, 2009

As I already told you before, I am trying to make indianbee as fast as it can possibly be, right now the speed at which the welcome page loads is way below what I am striving for right now and thats faster than 98% of the websites you will come across (Yeah apart from those old Static HTML Govt Websites ).

Faster than orkut? lol I dont know you guys should be the judge.Anyway the videos are streaming at their best the only reports where on the profile pages.Where again lot of it is also on the part of the users.

1.Make sure you guys clear your Temp Files.

2.FF slows down considerably if it does have the necessary RAM to play with.If you like me. lazy to type and loves FF to remember everything I do online then you must atleast use 512 MB RAM, 2 GB L2 cache.

3.Stop Cursing Me.

As I try to make Indianbee go faster you might see the occasional error message.Don’t hit the panic button :) Everything Is Not Under Control and more likely that I am working behind.I will put up a message immediately if an error pop-ups letting you guys know :)

On That Note With Another Productive Post Its Your Smart IndianBee Signing Into Indianbee.Com

Move Takes IndianBee To New A Undisclosed Location

December 13th, 2009

As everyone can see the activity per user and the number of user becoming active are both increasing as Mr.Bee gets more popular and more features are being added. As a result I have decided to change the location of the server and add some more meat into the servers.

I dont want IndianBee to be unavailable due to lack of resources. Dont want IndianBeez to see “Service Unavailable “  Contact the idiot behind the bee.

Cheers Guys

Thats about it nothing more to say

Ajax Commenting On IndianBee.com

September 28th, 2009

All the comments are now live for sometime.But just go faster. Comment are added on the fly without reloading the whole page.Ajax not only saves you server bandwidth, but new comments appear graceful, slick and smooth.

Come on I know what everyone thinks about commenting when they are watching a video? Especially In India where the internet is slow.(I am stuck at 256Kbps ) :( . We dont want the video or the page to reload in the middle of something. At the same time dont wanna waste our precious time. Now comment on the fly baby.

Yep, Ajax is our saviour. Help us to comment while we watch the video or read a blog :) .

I Love Comments. Express Yourself People. If You love something  comment about it , If you hate something again you have the power.

Photos to Tag. Its coming Soon!!

September 19th, 2009

Yep within a week or if I am lazy within 10 days we will see photo tagging on Indianbee. I really liked photo tagging feature and also atleast 30 people would have mailed support asking for it.

I cant ignore popular demand even if demands to changing indianbee to beeindian.Nope we are not going to do that lol.So what is photo tagging for those who haven’t been using the big SNs which is highly unlikely unless you already got lots of Love (lol).

Tagging Friends
Tagging Friends

You can now tag your friend in any of your photo! That is you can call them by names :) I know you guys always wanted to do that. You can give them any name right click on their faces and a option to select the person should come up if all the geeks worked. Then you just enter the name.

Volla we are tagging now….
