Yes, as everybody else, I too am writing about twitter. There are so many things around twitter that have been built. Just my attempt to write the most crazy and different ones over here.
There is this serial on air these days, a copy of "Moment of Truth" - 'Sach Ka Samna'. Just saw that it's got a legal notice for content that offends good taste and decency. (Here's the link)
This was coming their way. The fundamental of this game is that prior to the show, offline, people are asked 50 questions with "lie-detector" attachment and the results noted down. During the show they are then asked 21 questions from the same 50 questions and you keep on playing till you are telling the truth (based on the earlier answer-results matching with your current answers)
Here's the Vinod Kambli episode clip:
The questions asked are what the show is all about -- meant to be embarrassing, uncomfortable to answer. All answers are either Yes or No. The contestants, of course, have the option of leaving anytime -- with the clause that they forfeit their prize money. I was of the opinion that both ways, one loses in the game. If you are asked a question that you answer incorrectly -- results say it's a lie -- then you are out of the game. If you are asked a question that you do not wish to answer -- again you lose -- the answer of course can now be guessed by anyone as we know that he didn't answer the question since the answer must be the embarrassing Yes (or no, whichever is more shameful).
I have my own thoughts on the ability of polygraph tests to actually determine whether a person is lying or not -- the thoughts are negative!.There's no way a machine can be 100% accurate.
What do you say, do these polygraph - lie-detector - tests mean anything?
Rediff.com has secretly revamped it's site and it's a change a blind man can't miss. It's completely that - revamped.
Had been listening to people crib / swear / appreciate(only a few) about the activity, so thought I might as well do a simple search and post the views of people - tweeples to be specific, internetly speaking!
So I did just that using this new site that I heard of -- Listoftweets.com here is what came out:

Guess there are more thorns than petals here for rediff.
Just a list of movies that, in my opinion, must be seen before you leave for the other side. No order in which they have been penned.
1) The doors 2) Matrix 3) Black - Hindi 4) My cousin Vinny 5) Fight Club 6) Into the wild 7) Amelie - french 8) Jaane Bhi do yaaron - Hindi 9) Kung Fu Hustle ( try watching this in hindi if you can) 10) The goodfellas 11) The bucketlist 12) The matrix 13) The Godfather 14) If only 15) The Cable guy 16) Snatch 17) Pulp Fiction
The ones that I could think of are up there. The list will have more additions.
You think I missed something very important? Suggest...I might just add it
