Twitter founder Evan Williams announced a new platform for his company, @Anywhere, at the SXSW, without any fanfare, and did not provide much information, leaving many disappointed and frustrated. @Anywhere allows web publishers to insert Twitter feeds within their content. Twitter will be paid for this privilege and it benefits online publishers also.

This platform will give tweeters more flexibility in where and when they tweet. For example, one can tweet about an article right after reading it and need not worry about finding people who share the same thoughts. While the experience will be appreciated by tweeters, the lack of many details dampened the spirit at the SXSW.

Facebook became the most visited website of last week in the US, according to Hitwise, an online measurement service. The information is based on the amount of traffic generated.

According to Heather Dougherty, the research director at Hitwise, Facebook had 7.07% Web traffic, toppling Google’s 7.03%. Facebook has been nudging Google, taking Hitwise’s top spot many times, like on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Facebook has accounted for a bit more than 2% of U.S Web traffic in March 2009. Since the same time last year, Facebook has shown a 185% increase in Web traffic!

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised.

Happy Pi Day everyone(though this this one day late)! Ever heard of Pi Day celebrations before? Celebrated on March 14 every year, this day is remembered as the day of the mathematical constant π (pi) and it also happens to be the birthday of Albert Einstein. The value of Pi is the ratio of the circumference of any given circle to its diameter. Pi is a magic figure and it stands as a symbol of something that is constant yet infinite.

The Mystery of Pi

It is a fact, and Marc Umile, famous for his unique capability of Pi memorization, rightly points out so, that without the implementation of the constant Pi many of the great engineering marvels, tunnels running under the ocean and through mountains, arches, and suspension bridges would be impossible to build. Things would constantly be in danger of collapse or lie incomplete without the marvel that is ‘Pi’. This mathematical mystery keeps one always hungry for the answer. The circle is hardly a complex shape, so how can the key proportion of a circle be so complex? The digits of Pi seem to continue to infinity… Right from Archimedes and Sir Isaac Newton to present day mathematical geniuses and supercomputers, none have been able to fathom the enigmatic Pi.

Why Pi?

The reason why the 14^th of March is observed as Pi day is actually because the date is written as pi to two decimal places – 3.14!Pi minute is also observed, interestingly this is precisely at 1:59 pm and Pi second which is at 1:59:26 pm! Some of the fun ways in which Pi Day is celebrated in various fun ways including the baking and eating of Pi shaped cookies, pie-baking, math-related activities, pi recitations, etc.

π = Team Pi

Team Pi embodies the essence of Pi with its firm commitment to caliber output along with innovation and exploration of endless possibilities. Team Pi represents a marriage between technology and creative content, each one largely dependent on the other in order for us to excel in our core competencies. Ultimately, the curiosities and paradoxes surrounding Pi continue adding to its charm. Pi has a universal appeal, and its significance in this world where structure and precision is of prominence cannot be undermined.
