jQuery Codes to Fix Facebook Share’s Zero-Count

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 08:00 AM PST

It’s been a long time since Facebook started providing the official share-count. Before that, the void was filled by a third-party service called fbShare.me, which is still active and works fine.

During one of my performance-optimization experiment, I found that the official Facebook share-count loads much faster. Also, being “official”, it seems a safer choice keeping the future in mind.

But when I switched to new codes, a new problem surfaced as you can see in the screenshot below…

The issue is, if Facebook share count is zero, the big share button shrinks to 1/4 of its size and hides the counter because of the surrounding buttons near it. I prefer the share-count to show even if it was zero.

I really thought that Facebook might have some parameters or setting to fix it, but after a lot of brainstorming, I finally managed to fix it using jQuery codes below:

//fix facebook share's zero-count jQuery(document).ready(function(){ 	jQuery(".fb_share_no_count .fb_share_count_inner").text("0"); 	jQuery(".fb_share_no_count").removeClass("fb_share_no_count"); });

Of course, for the above code to work smoothly, you must have jQuery included somewhere before the above code-snippet.

Here is how it will look like after the fix…

I hope you will find this code useful!

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 06:41 AM PST

The Pro-Devil Aditya Kane had written an article about the Notion Ink Adam in Feb 2010 and since then the ‘Desi‘ tablet has come a long way. The Notion Ink Adam was slated for release in April 2010, which then got delayed to August and finally to November, and yet the huge community of Adam-lovers has been kept waiting.

The Adam boasts of the most impressive tech specs for a tablet, including a Pixel Qi dual mode screen and NVIDIA Tegra 250 chipset, 3G support with a sim card slot, an ambient light sensor, to name a few, among a whole lot of other specifications that make it the most awaited tablet of 2010.

The Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is to be released on 6th December(today), according to Rohan Shravan, Notion Ink’s CEO, and states that it will definitely be compatible on Eden (Adam’s custom UI) which currently runs Android 2.2 Froyo.

Notion Ink’s Adam is now in the process of passing the American government agency – FCC’s standards (Similar to TRAI in India), and has passed the EMI (Electro magnetic compatibility) tests of the FCC on all 6 variants.

It is being said that the Adam is slated for release before 25th Dec (Christmas) in the US, and 2 weeks later here in India. Although, no official indication has been made.

The price set for the basic variant of Adam with LCD display and Wi-Fi only is $399.
Pixel Qi version with WiFi-only would cost $449.
Pixel Qi display with 3G will cost $498. There will also be special discounts exclusively for universities and students.

The 25-year-old genius Rohan Shravan also stated on his blog himself that Adam could also be officially released at The Annual CES where it made its début in 2010, which is to be held In Las Vegas, from 6-9th January 2011.

We are hoping that we could lay our hands on the Adam by early 2011! Keep checking this space for more updates!

Here’s a video showcasing Adam’s capabilities ! (Pretty old video, the final product is going to be way better)

Search for images on Twitter with Hashalbum

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 04:30 AM PST

We all have our own sources for those unique photos. We don’t want the same old Google Image Search image results because we beg to differ. For those looking for a new source of images, Hashalbum would make you tick. This is a photo search tool which looks for relevant images within Twitter.

Mostly we assign the hash symbol (#) to a word on Twitter to actually reach out beyond the scope of just our followers. So obviously someone adding a hash is looking to share images with the world.

It’s quite simple in terms of functionality. When a Twitter user uploads an album on third-party sites such as Twitpic, yfrog, etc - and tweets it with the standard name format using a hashtag (#) – lets say ‘Check out pics of my cute #doberman’, Hashalbum will popup these photographs the next time someone looks for pictures of ‘dobermans’ at Hashalbum search panel (my dog is a doberman, therefore the special mention).

The application was created by a team of four from a company named Londonberry. I think it is a very useful tool permitting users to search for specific images on Twitter. It replaces the need of going to other sites for image search if one is already comfortable with Twitter.

I quite like the idea behind Hashalbum which makes image search on Twitter easy and quick.

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 02:30 AM PST

Everyday you visit a lot of websites, have you ever thought of the web site you often visit has some SEO parameters. That will let you know about the Page Rank, Traffic, Pages Indexed, Backlinks, Bookmarks, Search Stats etc of your web page. Does it sound interesting to know more about it? Though there are many extensions to find SEO details but I am going to share the extension which I like the most.

Google Chrome has the best part that you do not have to restart your browser having hundreds of tab open to install an extension unlike Mozilla Firefox.

To obtain SEO details I find Google Chrome SEO an excellent extension that remains in the top-right corner and displays a clear list of all necessary details on a single click.

Download it and install on your Chrome browser.

Features of Chrome SEO

Every information is in separate row makes it more comprehensive.
Provides a lot more information than any other extension.

Hides himself on a single click.

As you can see in the above image, Chrome provides all details precisely without cluttering the window and sits in the top-right corner of the browser without messing up anything.
