India’s population is above 115 crores. Names are not enough to differentiate or identify everyone because two persons might have same full name. God has made everyone unique, and we cannot ignore or take a person’s individuality for granted. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a unique ID assigned to every person?

Government has considered the idea and a whole project of unique ID have been processed. The project is named “Aakar” and Mr. Nandan Nilekani is in charge of the project. Government has already taken the initiative to open a new horizon to Digital India. The awaited time is here and I can envision the dream converting into reality.

Lets take a look at the technical aspect of this project. Assigning every person a unique ID will make everyone unique. It is basically going to be in a database format with information entered in rows and columns. This would make information easily accessible and editable. It will be much more simpler and just a click away to find any information from the database. For example: If an employer wants to access (query) the information about the employee applying for job, the employer can access his job history, education background and other relevant information easily and the magical ID number does it all.

“Rome was not built in a day!” Implementing and executing the whole project with least possible errors will take years. The challenges faced during this revolution cannot be ignored.

•    It is not only hard but to me it sounds nearly impossible to track each and every  person in such a huge population country.

Not every person in India is a permanent resident and/or a legal citizen.

There will be a huge time gap between government collecting such a huge data and updating digitally.

• Not all the personal information provided by the people will be accurate.

Failure in updating the information of a birth/death in a family.
To assign unique ID to individual, government is counting the population again (Janganana 2011). They are trying to get as much information and as accurate as possible. There are many more challenges waiting for the government to be resolved. In following posts we will discuss more about the assignment of the unique ID.

Fake currency is the burning issue of India so before moving ahead to any changes/improvements, we will try to solve fake notes issue. In next post I will present my idea for fighting against fake notes.

PS: If the ID assigned is numerical, then I bet people will actually BID for a good or a  lucky number!

Starting with the name of God, I have decided to write my thoughts on Digital India. It is a new series on my blog which will describe how things in India can be digitalized.

We will see general people aspects as well as technical aspects behind each implement that I think. Apart from this we will discuss what problems we will face implementing it. I will try to estimate the budget for the implement too.

Basically ‘Digital India’ series will deal with things by analysing current scenario and then how we can digitalize them. Even if you are not a technical Geek or techno person, you will have fun reading this series. It is going to deal with real life things. Things that happen in real life, from purchasing vegetables to paying income tax, managing bank account to management of a company, getting a driving license to registering a newly purchased vehicle. Everything will be discussed but digitally.

If real implement of the things will happen, India will be world’s most advance country, a leading technical hub. Hoping for the best.

I will write my first post in the series soon. Hope to see you back.  Subscribe to my reader to get updates in E-mail : Click here.

Hope you will like the concept.

]]> http://www.terabug.com/introduction-to-a-new-digital-india/feed/ 1 http://www.terabug.com/introduction-to-a-new-digital-india/ Publish your site content to Facebook wall – Publish Wall Post/ Stream JS API Tutorial http://feeds.terabug.com/~r/terabug/~3/uc2fA1Bh_WM/ http://www.terabug.com/publish-site-content-to-facebook-wall-publish-wall-post-publish-stream-js-api-tutorial/#comments Sat, 26 Jun 2010 17:43:38 +0000 KP http://www.terabug.com/?p=1965 If you own a website/blog, publishing your site content on facebook is easy now. The setup for Stream API hardly takes 5 minutes. This is graph API Javascript based tutorial.

By the end of the tutorial you will be able to post something like below image for your site.

fb-post

Step 1: Register a new application for your website. Visit http://developers.facebook.com/setup/

Use name = Whatever name you want to display instead of ”World War” at bottom in above image.

Step 2: After registering the application, set below url by editing the application.

 

Canvas Callback URL

 

http://www.yoursitename.com/
Connect URL
http://www.yoursitename.com/

Note that it should point to the folder where you are going to use the code. The tutorial is about pressing a button on your website and posting things to user’s facebook wall.

Step 3: Take Application ID from http://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php

Step 4: Insert below code wherever you want to display button for posting on wall. Edit related texts.

<div id="fb-root"></div>
             <script> 

       window.fbAsyncInit = function() { 

       FB.init({appId: "YOUR APP ID FROM STEP 3", status: true, cookie: true, 

             xfbml: true}); 

        }; 

     (function() { 

      var e = document.createElement("script"); e.async = true; 

     e.src = document.location.protocol + 

       "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"; 

     document.getElementById("fb-root").appendChild(e); 

   }());

      function streamPublish(){
       

FB.ui(
   {
     method: 'stream.publish',display:'popup';


     message: 'getting educated about Facebook Connect',
     attachment: {
       name: 'Connect',
       caption: 'The Facebook Connect JavaScript SDK',
       description: (
         'A small JavaScript library that allows you to harness ' +
         'the power of Facebook, bringing the user\'s identity, ' +
         'social graph and distribution power to your site.'
       ),

‘media’: [{ 'type': 'image',

'src': 'http://www.yoursite.com/images/facebook_icon.png',

'href': fb_root()}] ,


       href: 'http://github.com/facebook/connect-js'
     },
     action_links: [
       { text: 'Code', href: 'http://github.com/facebook/connect-js' }
     ],
     user_message_prompt: 'Share your thoughts about Connect'
   },
   function(response) {
     if (response && response.post_id) {
       alert('Post was published.');
     } else {
       alert('Post was not published.');
     }
   }
 );

           } </script>

 



 

Step 5: Call streamPublish function by a link. You can use CSS for changing look of the link/button.

 

<a onclick=”streamPublish();” >Click to Publish on Facebook wall</a>

If no publish window is popping up, try setting display: value to ‘dialog’.

You are done ! Now just spread the post and get infinite traffic from facebook. Tell your users to post on wall. You can have data from game or any quiz and publish results on facebook wall same as facebook application does.

The PHP code will give output time in days. You can convert that to month easily.

We need to convert timestamp stored by wordpress in MySQL as datetime format.

<?php

date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); //This must be same as your wordpress timezone

global $wpdb, $user_ID;
if(is_user_logged_in())
{
$userid=intval($user_ID);

$result = mysql_query(“SELECT ID,user_registered FROM wp_users WHERE ID=’$userid’”);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{

$dd1=date(‘d M Y’,strtotime($row['user_registered']));
$days = floor((time() – strtotime($dd1))/86400);

echo “User is registered since”.$days.” Days”;

}

?>

After getting days you can use it as a numerical value. Variable days will have final output.
