Recently came across this amazing free tool from Yahoo called Dapper which allows you to create a RSS feed from a HTML page by visually selecting the parts of a page you would like to add to the feed.

Have been using it for some time now but recently the service is down and the website open.dapper.net is not up as well.

Has it something to do with Yahoo exiting from many of its services. It will be very unfortunate if this service goes down or is removed.

If thats the case may be Yahoo should open it up to the community to maintain through donations. I know I'll be one to donate for such an amazing service.

Swtching back to old profile not possible after enabling Timeline on Facebook Profile - one way street

I just wanted to see how the new timeline feature works with the assumption in my mind that there will always be an option to go back to old style of Facebook profile if I do not like the new timeline.

That is the first thing I checked after switching to timeline was to see how to go back.

Cons :
For the post that have happened earlier the Privacy control option does not show up! So if I wanted to change the privacy option of an earlier post there is no way of doing it. except may by deleting it.

If you find out any way to switch back please share in comments. AFAIK it is not possible.


Trying Timeline is a one way street. Time to switch to Google + ? :)

Google analytics error : Access denied. Please try relaunching In-Page Analytics from the report.[Error: 20004]

For the first time today I saw the error "Access denied. Please try relaunching In-Page Analytics from the report.
[Error: 20004]"   coming on my website which has Google analytics script.

Also Today I noticed that there is a launch of new UI on the Analytics front end. This sounds related.

I tried taking the fresh analytics script and adding it to the website but the error still came.

Hopefully this is a temporary issue, cant afford not to have analytics installed on the website.
