Angry Anna: Now Support Anna Hazare by Playing a Game

If you are an Indian, there are very few chances that you don't know about the current happenings which include Mr. Anna Hazare and the Government of India surrounding the corruption in India. Most of the India is supporting Anna Hazare but how will they actually support him. People who don't live in New Delhi can't show much support in favor of Anna Hazare but you can definitely feel good after you hit the main motives of corrupt India with none other than Anna Hazare.

You may not have understood what I said above. Actually, Geek Mentors Studios has made a copied version of Angry Birds and named it Angry Anna. The difference is that in Angry Birds, you throw birds at pig but in Angry Anna, you throw Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi and Ramdev Baba on the corrupt politicians. This way you can support the huge social cause and give yourself the feeling that you have done something for your country, India.

There are 4 levels in this game and you will enjoy all of them. The sounds made by the positive(Anna Hazare's side) characters are funny. This game was enjoyed by me and even I took the opportunity to support Anna and that too just by playing a game.

This game is cool. Yeah just cool. The Anna Hazare factor has made this game get too famous in a mere 5 days and has got over a lac visits. It is reported that in the first 24 hours, this game crossed 45,000 visits. Woah, amazing achievement. The game is cool and so will you be after playing it, so my recommendation, just play it when you are bored.

Alertful: The Free Reminder Service

There are many times when you have to do some important work while using internet but you forget them. If you would have been under such condition, you must have desired a website which can give you free reminders. I have a site which can fulfill this desire of yours.

Alertful is a free reminder service which can remind you about everyday things, meetings, birthdays, appointment, insurance renewal, etc. and a lot more. This website doesn't require any sign up or anything like that. Just a few clicks in the beginning(choosing the reminder type), typing the reminder and email address, clicking submit. That's it. You will then start receiving alerts from this site.

There is a section in this site - Alertful for Business which is a paid service which have special features for businessmen and those kinda people. Some of the key features of this paid feature is:

Send targeted Email & SMS alerts
Fully re-branded - Use your colours, logo, images & fonts
Market to customers to add value & generate business
Pay-As-You-Go pricing

Shut Up Devil's Website Review

This site offers great features and the performance really impressed me. The design is very attractive and at some places they have used attractive avatars. Only one thing which I didn't like was that the alerts were date-organised, means there was no option for choosing the time of the alert. The alerts will be sent out at email so be sure that you are logged in into your email so that you don't forget. It is free of cost and only people who need very much have to upgrade to the paid service. On the whole, this site is a must try if you work on internet. You definitely need to remember and do things on internet which you often forget. This site would help you a lot. A must try.

At these times, ResizR comes to your rescue.

ResizR is a very useful website and using it was a pleasure for me. I enjoyed and definitely loved the experience. The things which impressed me the most were the quick response and the maintained clarity of the picture. There was at no point when I thought that this site isn’t impressing me. All the features, performance and more have been inserted so nicely that it never felt bad. The features are very good but the pro-features aren’t so attractive. That may be a plus point for the people who want it free of cost. They won’t even get attracted with the pro-features and save their money. On the whole, ResizR is a very useful site and maybe the best site of this type and genre. You got to try this and I can assure you that it won’t disappoint you.

Awesome Screenshot : Google Chrome Extension for Taking Screenshots

As a blogger, it is very important to decorate or explain your article's topic with at lease a single image. So, it is very important to upload at least one picture in your article. When you are writing about a website or things like that, screen shots are important. The most favorable way known is - Press PrtScSysRq, go to MS Paint, paste the screenshot and crop it. This way definitely takes a bit longer time than you want. If you are a blogger who likes to put screen shots in his/her posts and are a Google Chrome user, then I have got a perfect replacement for MS Paint screenshot system.

Awesome Screenshot : Create and Annotate is a Google Chrome extension which not only let you take screen shots but also edit or upload(on the web for a link) them. I have tried several extensions made for screen shots and Awesome Screenshot was the one which impressed me the most. Let me talk about its features.

Awesome Screenshot lets you take screen shots in three ways :-
1. Capture Visible Part of Page : Captures the part of page which is visible. Then opens a new tab with editing tools. It's your choice whether you want to save the whole visible part or crop from it.
2. Capture Selected Area : Captures the selected area from the page. It actually means cropping directly from the webpage. Edit the cropped area in the new tab and you are done.
3. Capture Entire Page : Captures the whole webpage and opens a new tab for all the cropping, editing, etc. It takes a bit more time to take the screenshot unlike the above two.

Awesome Screenshot enables you to upload your screenshot temporarily(for 3 days) or permanently. You can also share your screen shot on Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail after you upload the screenshot.

Shut Up Devil's Extension Review
This extension, as already mentioned above, is my favorite extension for taking screen shots. I decided to review it after trying several extensions. The editing options are good and give options which you really needed. The options are - Crop, Rectangle, Ellipse, Arrow, Line, Free Line, Blur, Text and Color Picker. The response is quick and hence worth trying.

Whisper Bot: Send Secure Messages Easily

There are many moments on the internet when you want to send messages to your friends but are scared for the privacy of the message as the message is really really private for you. Whisper Bot is a site which makes sending secure messages easier. Different options are offered by Whisper Bot to make sure that your message is as private as you want it to be. Whisper Bot is totally free which may add to its plus points. It is a modern day passing of the notes between you and your friends. It is often that a friend sends some private message to your email and unfortunately, your email ID gets hacked. The hacker reads the private message which ultimately leads to humiliation.

Let me tell you how it works.

You send a note from WhisperBot.
The note is sent to the recipient.
He/She receives a link in his/her email.
He/She opens it and enters the Secret Code Phrase(Optional, recommended).
He/She retrieves the secret message.

It’s as simple as that. I hope you have understood it all. Moving on.

Shut Up Devil’s Website Review

This site is very helpful and would never disappoint you. Very useful and the best thing is the performance and the quickness. What I really liked was that the email(with the link) was sent in less than 1 minute(actually, in less than 20 seconds). It might take maximum 1.5 minutes if you have a slow internet connection but Whisper Bot tries to send it as fast as possible. The features are good and they have a page “About Whisper Bot” and you can know all you need about this site in that page. I guess there are very few chances that you won’t like the site and its services and performance. Talking about the design part, a dark black grungy type of background is on the site with a white content part.
Performance : 5/5
Features : 5/5
Design : 5/5
Overall : 5/5
This is the first-ever website on Shut Up Devil to receive full 5/5 overall marks. Whisper Bot totally excels on it’s genre. It’s really difficult to find sites like Whisper Bot and this one totally rocks.

Is It Raining : Know If It is Raining In any City

It is often that you are out of your home town in a rainy season so you want to know whether it is raining in your home town or not. Usually you call your family but just imagine if your family's phone is switched off or busy. Now, you really want to know whether it is raining in your home city or not. Phone's busy and you have got your laptop and your USB internet.

Take out your laptop, take out your USB internet, put it in the USB port of your laptop. Now connect to the internet. Go to isitraining.in and enter your home town's name. There you have it. The status of your home town, whether it is raining or not.

This site is totally based on helping you to know whether it is raining in a given city at this very moment. Not only raining information but this site also gives you the other weather conditions of the given city which makes it more reliable and better. The ease of doing the raining research was the thing which actually made me review this site. This site would be very useful for you, I can assure it.

Shut Up Devil's Website Review
isitraining.in mainly impressed me with the quickness and totally accurate results. The site is quick and to-the-point. They haven't made any unnecessary page. It is very simple. You go to isitraining.in, type the desired name and press enter. In, not more than 1 minute(depending on your internet speed) you will get the result. The weather conditions are like the cream on the cake or whatever they call it. Weather conditions take you closer where you want to be. On the whole, this site is simple, quick and reliable. The only negative point was that in a few cities of India, the information is 30 minutes old. That would be a small problem for the Indians, but never mind.
