I was toying with the idea of creating some lists on Twitter. For the sake of experiment that is! Then once created, I wanted to delete or remove them and Oh God, I just got stuck. I just could not move them. I surfed across the help menu but couldn’t find anything helpful.

Later, I cracked the super mystery, lol…its super easy actually. I clicked on Lists’ View All (See image above) in the right side bar, then again clicked onto the particular list (image on your left). Deletion in mind, I looked up, on the top of sidebar, in the right I did find the Delete and Edit button (image on your right). That’s about it.  I was glad, so simple it was really.

The edit button will enable you to change and or add the description, you may also alter the status of the list, say from private to public or contra.

Did I solve your query, mate? For more useful Twitter tips and hacks (+) you may join me at http://twitter.com/krishbhatt.

Through its global network of congregations and partners, the people of The United Methodist Church are on the ground when disaster strikes and are the last to leave often after years of tough recovery. These ads are directed those inside and outside the church to 10thousanddoors.org to find out how to help after the Haitian earthquake [Read more about Haiti Earthquake 2010], in any way they could. The point of the posters was simply to convey that faith + action = hope.

Simple, effective and beautiful. An ad from Sandvik.

Sandvik, established in 1862 has a long tradition of achieving commercial success while honoring ethical values and respecting people, communities and the environment by being a good corporate citizen worldwide.

It seems that Google is recommencing its Google Guru service, a question-answer portal aka Yahoo! Answers where people ask each other questions on any topic, and get answers by sharing facts, opinions, and personal experiences.

Google Blogscoped reports that one of its readers has noticed a “Google Guru” description in his Google Account product page which was directed to http://guru.google.com/guru/, which does not exist anymore . It is accompanied by the text, “Ask questions and get answers from online users.” Link

Well, don’t rush to Google product page because it may not show up there, the new link has been only appeared to some users for a specific time frame and then it mysteriously disappeared. Google is not marking any announcement of it now. Seems it’s still at R&D backyard.

Google, after a not so successful launch in some countries like Poland, Russia, Thailand in January 2007 has withdrawn the service and now after almost three years it seems it’s pulling it again. It’s active in Thailand but still carrying the “beta” tag even after running for three years.

As of now, the social Q&A space is ruled by Yahoo! Answers, one of the areas where Yahoo! is dominating Google. I can’t help but wonder if Google’s possible acquisition of Aardvark has to anything with this. Aardvark, the social search service company was founded by some ex-Googlers. What it’s into? “Ask questions, get *live* answers from your network! Aardvark finds the perfect person to answer any question in real-time.” You get the strategic connect? However, Aardvark is much more than a Q&A proposition. We may see Google Guru hitting the market with more product benefits than Yahoo! Answers.

For businesses Google Guru may create great opportunities. People may build authority over their niche areas by answering questions and pushing their brand in yet another social platform.

When the world goes gaga over environmentalism, Times of India has come out with a queer advertisement which will not certainly go well with people who advocate protection of natural resources. The ad in question is for Aami Udita, a Bengali women’s magazine from the Times Group, is seen with the magazine’s name being unpleasantly engraved on a tree, that too inside a repugnant ‘love’ mark sign.

I know we should not blame Times of India per se for this embarrassing social blunder. It carries out many social promotions through its Foundation, encourages corporate social responsibility, public private partnership, capacity building, it’s Teach India campaign is one of its kind and its Lead India Campaign won first ever Direct Grand Prix for India at the Cannes Lions 2008.
