How to automate filling web forms and so?

iMacros is the Firefox add-on that you need to install in your Mozill Firefox browser. I read about how one guy (uberaffiliate.com) pwned Facebook using iMacros and made some cash. What he did is that he created around 500 Facebook accounts by automating Facebook new user sign-up form filling with a macro in iMacros! In iMacros you can record your activities using Record functionality, save it as a macro, edit it and play it as many times as you want. So you just need to record Facebook new user sign-up activity only once, and then copy+paste it inside macro as many times as you want.
What about email? It should be different each time. If you have registered domain, then it is easy! In order to use different email address each time, you just need to create one Email Forwarding account for your domain (abc@yourdomain.com) and make it “Catch All” account.

(GoDaddy.com Help) A catch-all email account is an address that is specified to receive all messages that are addressed to an incorrect email address for a domain. For example, you have three email addresses set up for coolexample.com; info@coolexample.com, sales@acoolexample.com, and webmaster@coolexample.com, you can set up info@coolexample.com as a catch-all email account. Then, any email messages sent to manager@coolexample.com (or any other invalid email address), are sent to the catch-all account (info@coolexample.com).

You can set up one email address as a catch-all account per domain name.

Once you install it, it will appear on the left side of the browser. It’s very easy to learn how to use it. There are 3 functions; Play, Record, Edit. After recording the macros, you can open it (by default it opens with Notepad), edit and save it. You can export info to CSV files as well.

Ways to use it;

1. Form Filler & Password Manager
2. Automated Download & Upload
3. Data Extraction, Web Scraping/Mining & Enterprise Data Mash-Ups
4. Web Testing
5. Social Scripting (Social Bookmarking)
6. and others (upto your imagination!)

I just started testing it, and already big fan of it!

Hint: (If you already haven’t thought about it yet) It can be used to generate traffic (pageloads) in your blogs (CPMs!!!), create repetitive affiliate referrals (you gotta play with macros a lot), and in many other evil ways. But I’m sure people on the other side are also smart enough to track it down. I do not recommend!

How to increase the number of your blog readers?

How to get more readers to subscribe to your blog / site / RSS feeds?

Particularly, how to increase number of subscribers through FeedBurner?

(For those who doesn’t know this service, it is excellent web-service owned by Google that helps to get subscribers to your blog/site and provides small display widget to see the numbers of your RSS subscribers, and you can add small indicator in your blog. Learn more about RSS and FeedBurner, or watch demo video.)

As JohnChow described; FeedBurner’s subscriber count is based on an approximation of how many times your feed has been requested in a 24-hour period. If a reader doesn’t access his feed reader for a few days, he is no longer counted even though he is still a subscriber. So the object was to get everyone to check their feed everyday.

FeedBurner counts an email subscriber for as long as they can send them emails. Unlike a RSS reader, If the RSS by Email subscriber doesn’t read his email for several days, he is still counted. The only time his count stops is if he unsubscribe to the service. So the key is to get subscribers by Email!

what startups need?

I came through Paul Graham’s blog while ago, and since then I became loyal reader of his articles. This is the first post I read and got attracted to, it’s about start up companies, it could be useful piece of info for young IT enterprenuer wanna-bes.

You need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and to spend as little money as possible. Most startups that fail do it because they fail at one of these. A startup that does all three will probably succeed.

Jamboola.net

Guys,

I decided to move Jamboola from Blogger to WordPress. The reason is that I found WordPress more user-friendly, and easily customizeable, plus it offers much more different kind of widgets to be used on the sidebar. Also, I purchased domain with “.net” extension. Now we have real address in the Net, andI believe more attractive blog!

www.jamboola.net

From now on let’s blog at this new address. I’ll send out invitations to current authors to join WordPress. You just need to register there, and start blogging.

Feel free to comment/suggest about the new look of the blog.
