Know what patients like you feel and there journey through the disease

When someone’s suffering from a disease particularly the ones which are life threatening. Patients are emotionally shattered. In such times they long to know different modes of treatment other patients are taking, they want to know what other patients like him/her feel , They want to know their symptoms, their medications, everything they can know about the disease .
Patientslikeme does exactly that. It is a social networking health site that enables its members to share treatment and symptom information in order to track and to learn from real-world outcomes. One gets to know the minutest medical details.
In 1998, a young carpenter named Stephen Heywood was diagnosed with ALS. The Heywood family began taking charge of Stephen's care, searching the world over for ideas that would extend his life and improve the way he lived. This set in motion a series of events that have led to PatientsLikeMe, a new system of medicine by patients for patients.
Advantages are simply enormous...
One can learn from other patients like them in Forum Discussions,through Private Messages and from Profile Comments. One can also browse symptom reports,explore Treatment reports,check out treatment evaluations.Profile charts lets one see how treatments affects the health over time.Doctor Visit Sheets helps one improve discussions with the doctors
They currently have communities for Prevalent Diseases like ALS/MND,Epilepsy,Fibromyalgia,Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME,HIV/AIDS,Mood Conditions,Anxiety,Bipolar,Depression,OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder),PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder),MS (Multiple Sclerosis),Parkinson’s Disease and some other rare disease too

Now you don’t need to register at every other site
Many websites have a compulsory registration for varied reasons for example many forums may not allow you to view the content unless you are a registered member, then there may be many download sites which may not allow you to download stuff unless you sign up. Their interest of course lies in getting your contact details mailing you announcements and similar stuff. But it’s cumbersome to do it on every other site. So what’s the solution You may ask. Well it’s this site www.bugmenot.com

BugMeNot.com was created as a mechanism to quickly bypass the login of web sites that require compulsory registration and/or the collection of personal/demographic information. It actually contains logins and passwords for lakhs of sites and growing. They are contributed by users like us. Its typically goes this way, I come across a site where I have to register to gain access. So I register there with a fake email id(mailinator,10minutemail,guerrillamail,meltmail,filzmail) and then submit this login to bugmenot. This is how a large database of logins piles up.
Many of you may ask Why not just register But
It's a breach of privacy, Sites don't have a great track record with the whole spam thing, it’s contrary to the fundamental spirit of the net, It's pointless due to the significant percentage of users who enter, fake demographic details anyway, It's a waste of time ,It's annoying as hell and Imagine if every site required registration to access content.
INSTRUCTIONS TO USE BUGMENOT
STEP 1: Make a note of the website address you are trying to access. For example:
www.nytimes.com
STEP 2: Visit http://bugmenot.com
STEP 3: Enter the address from step 1 into the box and press the "Get Logins" button
STEP 4: You should now be presented with at least one username and password. Make a note of them.
STEP 5: Go back to the site you were originally trying to access in step 1 and proceed to login with the username and password you noted in the previous step.
With any luck you should be able to access your article now!
However not all logins provided are correct and you have the option to even vote (in positive or negative) for them if they worked/failed for you. So that keeps refining the logins. Have happy surfing.

Tips,tricks and tools to find or search people online

With internet, anyone can be a private detective, whether tracking down an old high school friend, or looking for a relative of yours. Here are some of the best resources available for finding people online,
Internet has certainly connected the world. Most of the people would certainly have an online identity and one way communication (profiles, blogs) helps you know someone better (and sometimes a local scoop as well ;-) ).It’s particularly easy if the one you are searching for resides in U.S.A but its harder if its developing countries like India where people’s exposure to internet is bit less even though it’s quite possible
Here are some of the tricks to help you with searching some one
For people in U.S.A there are several databases which will give you loads of information
Live in the know-intelius
Yahoo! Search - People Search
Free People Search by ZabaSearch!
more can be found here
Still they would give physical information not the sort you are looking for. You would still need to do this
1)First step would be to find their email id. Google his name if the name isn’t that common you’ll most probably find out the email id else go to some social networking sites like facebook , orkut or myspace and search for their name and location, you’ll most probably find his profile and email id would be listed there, if profile is locked just think of some group/community where he would have written his information like alumni data-base, in a hangout thread for example I recently y wanted to search for a person ‘abc’ I knew he was in ‘xyz’ college so I searched in orkut for ‘abc xyz’ and bingo I found his collage community discussion named “alumni database” and he had mentioned all his information there
2)Second step would be google for their username(s). you’ll certainly find whole lot of thing there like his/her profiles in across various sites, various forums, mentions in several blogs etc, that would be a whole lot of information then do try to stumble through this sites
3)A blog particularly a personal one would certainly let you see through the person, search for his name at several of the blog search engines like technocrati.com or blogsearch.google.com. I say this in particular because sometimes blogs may not appear in general search and if they do they could be at around lets say 56th place
Now I’ll give you some specialized tools to know someone’s presence across various networking sites
Namesdatabase
it is a community of over thirty million members who can connect with each other through secure and private people search tools. These tools help members find and keep in touch with friends, family, schoolmates, and anyone else with whom they want to communicate.
1)It has a specific format for storing people's name
http://namesdatabase.com/people/last-name/first-name
2) there is also school wise search so you may also try that. It is accesible directly from thier homepage
yoname
People search across social networks, blogs and more.
It searches through
43Things ,Bebo BlackPlanet ,Blogger, Buzznet, DailyMotion ,Deviantart, Digg, FaceBook, Flickr, Fotolog ,Friendster, grono, Hi5, ICQ ,imeem ,IRC-Galleria, Last.fm, LinkedIn, Live Spaces, LiveJournal, Match, MySpace ,Rediff, skyrock, Tagged, Twitter, Vox, Web Search ,Webshots, Xanga ,Yahoo ,Yahoo 360, YoName ,YouTube, Zorpia
Enter the username/email there and you’ll find all his profiles within above mentioned networks that would be quite a lot
namechk
It is primarily used to check the if particular user name is available across many of popular networking sites now generally we all have a fixed username across all the networking sites which is more often than not your email user name. So search here for that particular his/her username and see where its available and where its not.
knowem
its also site similar to namechk but works along some different networks as well
so once you get the networks where he’s username is already taken. It means he/she is a member there just open there profiles/blogs/images/slides and you are done.
What to look for once you find what networks they use?
Look for blogs, image and video sharing platforms, look what sort of sites they bookmark in social bookmarking sites. In social networking sites find out which communities or groups have they joined and what things they discuss there. In this way you’ll get to know their views on various subjects It would be nice if you comment upon this article and suggest me new ways if you have them

Get SMS/email notification when your result is added to university website

We all desperately wait for results and want to be first to know the result and spread the word. Here’s a simple trick to get a sms when your result is displayed on the uni website although this is not foolproof, it works most of the time. You need to have a gmail email id for it
There are many sites which can detect change in a web page like changedetection.com, followthatpage.com, watchthatpage.com, page2rss.com etc... We will use followthatpage.com as it provides hourly updates as emails
Step-1: Go to followthatpage enter the page address of the university results page for example: ‘http://www.saurashtrauniversity.edu/enr/showresults.php’ and enter your gmail email address(only gmail).Then complete the registration form
Step-2: You will get a mail from noreply@followthatpage.com. There will be a confirmation link there. click the confirmation link then you’ll be asked to login
After you login, results page will be there .remove the tick mark on ‘Report removals’ by clicking on it then tick mark on ‘Check hourly (max 1 check per hour)’ and click ‘save’ and you’re done
Now you’ll get an email every time something is added to the results page. Now we need to get that email as SMS somehow
Step-3: Go to mobee.in in the right top corner there will be an option of signup. Then Click on’ Try now for FREE - SIGNUP ’ Enter your Gmail email id and mobile number in the form
Step-4: you’ll get a verification email and a SMS with activation code. Enter activation code there to activate your account.
Step-5: Now open your Gmail account, go to ->> settings->> filter->>create a new filter
And fill the fields as follows
FROM: ‘noreply@followthatpage.com’, ‘Has the words: B.E. SEM III.(enter yourdegree here as it is mentioned on results page,keep it blank if you're not sure)
Doesn’t have: ERROR
Leave other fields blank.then click on ‘next step’
Step-6: click on “FORWARD IT TO” and write 91XXXXXXXXXX@mobee.in in the text box besides it where XXXXXXXXX is your mobile number(please remember) and click on create filter
And you are done you’ll get notification whenever your result is declared
