I ain’t kidding y’all. A couple in the US are planning on getting married through tweets, and the wedding is planned for the coming Saturday – 19^th June, 2010 at 4PM CET.

Sara and Paul, the tweet-bride-to-be and tweet-bridegroom-to-be will be united together and twitter will be their engine to broadcast the good news. The wedding will be held in an imaginary Mobile, Alabama. It will be streamed live on Suburban Oblivion and Paul O’Flaherty. The reception, hosted by @wigenout and @imwigen, will be a Tweetup. It will also be live-streamed. The bride and groom are registered at #paul&sara.

The two met over a blog post, argued over each other’s opinions. They started to date, and shortly after, Paulproposed at tweetup. Ever since, they have ventured out together, and run a website as well – Daily Shite.

1. Define,
2. Measure,
3. Analyze,
4. Implement & Improve, and
5. Control.

Initially data is collected and analyzed, and then the most appropriate strategies are adopted for implementation of the design.

Margin for design improvement is analyzed, and certain tools such as TPM, Kaizen, 5S, Lean Manufacturing, LCC, OEE, and the likes of them, are used as control charts to ensure minimum wastage of resources and in turn, highest level of efficiency.

Let us now analyze things in detail, and discover more about the Six Sigma principles, Lean concepts, and the Theory of Constraints (TOC).

Before the Introduction of Six Sigma

Typically every other major Corporate giant operated around the 4 sigma precision until Motorola developed and espoused the Six Sigma in the year 1987. The Greek letter sigma in Six Sigma signifies the statistical inconsistency from regular standards.

Connection between Lean & Six Sigma Principles

The Lean Six Sigma Principles are union of the data driven Six Sigma process and lean techniques for minimizing cycle time and wastage of resources. Both the Lean and Six Sigma Principles share the common goal of performance improvement.

Web dev may include anything from developing a website for the World Wide Web or the internet, down to specific web apps for commercial purposes.

The elements of web development includes e-commerce, client and server side scripting, web content management, designing the web site and so on and so forth. However, in common terms they may denote writing the mark up and coding for the sites. There happens to be a varied set of tasks starting from the plain text over the net to the most complex internet based applications or social networking sites or complex high end business dealings.

If you wish to develop a high end business using the internet, companies usually employ people in large numbers and form teams so that they may work as a team of web developers, though there may be many different modules allocated to each one of them.

Web development is a vast area and the tasks involved in it may be discussed for hours together. Let us just consider the various tasks involved in it in a very naïve or novice approach.

Client side coding:

This coding is the most important as it has a direct connection with the customers with whom we need to provide a service to. This coding may have a host of functions like acquiring the data from the user, validating i.e. checking for the correctness of the data, processing the data on a simple basis (some simple manipulations are usually done on the client side itself), passing on the information to the server side and after the processed data from the server is obtained, it needs to be presented back to the customer in the most appropriate form.

Server side Coding:

This is the most important task were many complex manipulations need to be carries out. Usually a Server resides in a remote host and a huge number of client computers may be connected to one single server system. The server is responsible for getting the information in an unprocessed form from the client, make the necessary transactions on it, compare it with the data from the database, and restructure the data to be sent back to the client from where it is displayed on the customer’s system.

Database:

This is the most important part in the Web Technology. As said earlier, more than one computer may be connected to a remote host. So all the previous data need to organized and maintained in a proper format that it becomes easier to retrieve them whenever needed. Database Technology has nowadays become a very significant place and specialized roles like DBA and other designations are allocated to highly efficient people.

GUI Design:

This is a very important and also a very interactive field where you determine as to how the web site or a web application looks exactly to the user. People with high creativity are nowadays employed as graphic or user interface developers for this purpose.

Image capture is a technique in which, text based resources stored in the form of hard copy is translated into digitally recognizable text resources with the additional help of Optical Character Recognition.

There are a large number of software companies coming up in the market with more new techniques of conversion. There is a company named Kooka, which makes a scan application highly easy to use. It has facilities like zoning for selecting any particular area of a document for scanning.

It also has multi zoning facility which allows zoning from different documents. Whenever we have to select any document, we can also preview it. This facility is also given for capturing image in OCR

The images in capture image OCR software have an additional feature called save assistant feature. This feature helps in handling the format of the image according to your needs and simultaneously a file name is also given. Whenever scanning takes place, all the images captured are kept in a gallery so that the searching is reduced for it.

Moreover, these images can be zoomed-in as well. Other functions like rotation, cropping can be done. In short, the user is given the power of customizing the image. Drag and drop facilities are also seen. So basically all possible facilities are made available in the software, by this company.

Not only does this company give all the facilities, as there are several other companies in the line-up of OCR. The companies are unending with their unending features. All have different techniques for handling the same thing, so it all depends on the user which one to follow. Some techniques may be difficult for understanding, while some may be very simple.

Many trial versions of capture image OCR are available in the internet for free. The users can try it and then test the features. If they are not satisfactory then others can be opted for.

However you can’t really call Tumblr a precise alternative for a number of reasons. One is that you can give the appearance to visitors that your tumbelog is hosted on its own domain by redirecting the IP address. Also, a tumbelog really is more like a mini weblog. Techslut even shows you how to integrate your tumblelog (and Twitter tweets) into your WordPress setup.


If you do decide to “self-host”, they warn you that they’re not in a position to help you configure your tumblelog, so you should  ask a friend. On the other hand, if  you set up your tumblelog the regular way, there’s less headache and you get a subdomain.
Here’s my tumblelog, which display diagrams that I’ve created for various weblogs that I either write for or own. (What I should have done is provided a link to each article, so each diagram could be seen in context. In which case my tumblelog would be an index to my slice of the blogosphere.)

Features of Tumblr

Here are some of the other features and functionality of Tumblr tumblelogs:

1. Themes. Customize appearance by editing the HTML and CSS. You can even borrow theme fragments from WordPress, though you’ll have to do the conversion and twiddling yourself.

2. Content variety. Easily post several types of content: articles, quotes, links, IM conversation text, photos, and videos. The latter two can be from Flickr and YouTube; just specify the link.
3. Moblogging. Post photos from your cell phone by mailing them to a secret email address set up just for your tumblelog.
4. Bookmarklet. Post quickly using the bookmarklet. Depending on your web browser (I’m running Firefox), you can drag the bookmarklet to your Bookmarks Bar. Then, whenever  you’re on a page that you want to Tumble, just click the bookmarklet. The content type defaults to a link, but you can change that.
5. Twitter integration. Integrate your Twitter tweets into your tumbelog. (I haven’t looked deeply into this. It might amount to using the Tumblr bookmarklet to post while you are still in Twitter.)

The interface is pretty easy to use, and the text editor is WYSIWYG. However, some of the functionality doesn’t work properly in the Firefox browser. (Try adding a hyperlink to some text.) Like a blog platform and Twitter, Tumblelogs have RSS feeds with which friends can subscribe. Your feed can be full text or short, and sites like Technorati and My Yahoo! can be pinged whenever you add a new post.

What you Cannot Do With/In Tumblr

Here’s what you cannot do:

1. You cannot send or subscribe to Tumbelogs by SMS. At least not that I could see in the Tumblr FAQ.
2. You cannot pull in web feeds to generate content.
3. You cannot actually host the content on your own server. Again, not that I could see.
4. You cannot interact with other Tumblrweeds (or whatever they’re called). I.e., there are no social networking features.

So in essence, Tumblr is more like a Blogspot service than a Twitter service, but with some interesting features that make it different enough. Call it mini-blogging instead of micro-blogging. Tumblr has made it easy to post a small range of content types. It’s much more stream of consciousness than Twitter because of the content types supported, but it’s not a replacement.

What can you use it for?

I can already think of a number of uses for Tumblr that Twitter simply cannot fulfil:

1. A scrapbook. Or create a family photo album for family and friends, complete with captions or little snippets of conversation (copied from an IM text chat session).

2. Personal portal. A portal/index to all your posts, if you blog at multiple places.
3. Lens. Alternative to Squidoo lenses. Tumblr’s not an authority domain yet like Squidoo, but it could be soon.
4. Mini-blog. Burn the feed in Feedburner and use their BuzzBoost HTML/Javascript badge to display the content as a mini-blog on an actual blog, in the sidebar. So you can produce “what I’m reading/ listening to” lists on your blog, without having to upgrade your theme.

Missing features

Being a geek, I’d like to see a number of features that would round Tumblr out:

1. Social features. This might include comments, or some sort of ability to interact with other Tumblrweeds.

2. Audio. Embedding of audio files, for podcasting or for recording messages in a family photo album.
3. RSS feed importing. Tie-in with RSS feeds in a variety of ways, including importing, to generate content. This would be a very nice display vehicle for some custom Yahoo feeds.

Overall, I’d have to say I like Tumblr, at least for mini-blogging. My head hurts with ways I could use it.
