A problem or an issue while trying to open any of your browsers can be the most annoying experience for any internet user,as it might even lead you to stop accessing the net for sometime.Yep, there are other options such as to switch over to another browser, but I guess most of us prefer to continue using the browsers that we initially opted for.The next immediate effort that we need take is to look for a solution to get back to that browsing experience.

Have you ever encountered this situation? i.e While trying to open Internet Explorer, there goes an error message “Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close”. In spite of all the efforts, there is every chance that this problem might not have been rectified.

The problem may be commonly attributed to Add-ons such as BHO (Browser Helper Objects):

BHO or browser helper object, is a module of Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser application. A BHO is an add-in intended to offer or increase the functionality of the browser and allow developers to improve the Web browser with new features.

The BHO is attached to the browser's main window.Practically,this means a new instance of the object is formed as soon as a new browser window is created. Any instance of the BHO exists and ends with the browser's instance.BHOs were launched in October 1997 and exist from Internet Explorer versions 4.0 and later.Not necessarily all BHO’s will harm your computer.On the other hand, there are some BHO’s that will spy on your Internet activities and possess additional malicious actions.

The Adobe Acrobat Browser Plugin,Google/ Alexa /Yahoo Toolbars are few examples of Browser Helper Objects.

The search engine giant “Google” is always out with something.This time they have created a buzz with Google Buzz. Well,most of us might have been hearing a lot about this tool lately. Majority might be aware of the utility of this latest buzz. For others,who are yet to catch up on this recent technology addition,here is what Google Buzz is all about.It’s a microblogging and social networking tool which can be used within our very old and popular Gmail.More precisely,Google Buzz just combines the features of the most popular “FaceBook” and the recent fad “Twitter”.So in a way, Google has just built upon on previously existing concepts.

Here are some of the features that Google Buzz guarantees:

• Follow other individuals and/or be followed by others
• Ability to publish your posts to your friends/family/colleagues and obtain comments to your Gmail inbox in real-time.
• The feature to post messages in private or public mode.
• It is possible to share links, photos and videos with followers or those you are following.
• The facility to maintain all your social networking friends' conversations in one spot.
• Sharing from your Androids or iPhones is also a possibility with Google Buzz.
We just experimented with Google Buzz and found all the above (though we didn’t test the last one) as important features.In case you are a person who has not yet started tweeting on twitter, Google Buzz would be a real excitement !

One of the latest fad among social networking has been the use of Twitter ,which mainly uses the concept of microblogging.Infact once you have created a twitter id, and you click the "Home" option,you will be directed to a page which says "What are you doing?". Also,through twitter,we can follow people and also allow other people to follow you. Each entry that we make in twitter is known as a "tweet".And all the people who are using/logged in twitter are known as "tweeple".Also if people who follow you feel that your tweet is useful/informative ,they can retweet it and make it inturn visible for their followers.

From the Search Engine Optimization(SEO) point of view,most people use twitter to widely increase traffic to their sites.If you can tweet regular updates regarding your business or organization,your clients can also be up-to-date with all the happenings.Additionally you can drive immense traffic only if there are many followers to your twitter id. In other words twitter can be utilized as a Search Engine Marketing(SEM) tool.

However posting any links in twitter ,though can increase traffic to your site will not add to the Page rank of your site as all the links posted in twitter are by default "nofollow".
