Use of internet in Nepal is growing rapidly. According to myrepublica, In this year Internet penetration is increased by 54 percent. Internet penetration reached 13.49 percent till October 2011, which was limited to 8.76 percent a year ago. With the increased number of users, development of Nepali websites are also in increasing trends. 

We don't have any particular system to rank the websites, but we can use many criteria like traffic rank, popularity, usability etc to make the top list. And again to choose the Nepali sites from those list is not an easy job. We can't say the sites having CCTLD .com.np are the only nepali sites, there are thousands of sites which are built and running from abroad by Nepali people under top level domain name. Anyway, I've tired to list out some of the top most addictive and popular Nepali sites on the basis of my experience, site popularity, alexa traffic ranking and ease of use. It may not represent the view of everyone. I can't say that i've visited all Nepali sites currently running on the web. May be there are many sites which are the best in their own market and doing good. I would like to request you to mention if i am not being able to list those nice and popular sites.

Google has officially launched their new search algorithm called "freshness update". This is a major search engine change by Google after their last year's Panda Update, which affected a very number of search results. They have announced in their blog that It is one of the biggest tweaks to Google’s search algorithm, affecting about 35 percent of all searches. 

The new algorithm is a recognition that Google, whose dominance depends on providing the most useful results, is being increasingly challenged by services like Twitter and Facebook, which have trained people to expect constant updates with seconds-old news. This includes things like recent events, hot topics, current reviews and breaking news items.

I've been using Joomla open source CMS over three years now. In my web development journey i have used hundreds of commercial and non-commercial extensions for various volunteer and commercial projects. As you know Joomla is serving more than eight thousands extensions to the community. I have found some of the extensions very useful, like i can't live without them. You may not like all components i've listed here and you may also think that there are many other useful stuffs. But i can't enlist all of them in this my top ten favorite list. These list are mainly Joomla components, there are many other modules and plugins which are very useful too. I will try to list them separately in my future posts.

I hope you are not getting confusion about what these joomla extensions are. I want to make it simple, Joomla extensions are , templates, modules, components or plugins that extends your Joomla! installation. They come included in Joomla core or can be provided from 3rd party developers. If you would like to know more about joomla extensions please visit this link Joomla extensions directory.

It's been more than two months, Google+ was in close testing. It was previously available only to journalists and technical people. They allowed 10 million users in the first two weeks. Later on it reached to 25 million users in 28 days, that was the highest record in the social media history. Anyway, now it's open to all! Anyone can join now.

When you browse to google.com, there you will see a big blue arrow pointing to your google+ name on the left side of its top nav bar.
