LinkedIn A Professional Networking tool Unprofessionally Designed & Developed…! Asking Why? Read.

I have been using LinkedIn for the last 6 to 7 years. But lately, I am getting irritated while signing in to LinkedIn, even when trying to read messages, send messages, or post on LinkedIn Groups.

I will list a few things here explaining why I am saying so.

The first foremost irritating thing, i.e. code deployed & Implemented
Whenever I try to sign in to the LinkedIn page, it resets to the public home page or the sign-in page, even if I enter the username with the correct password combination. The page resets again & again without any error message. Asking why? Poor code deployed by LinkedIn itself.

Designed in India & Designed in USA, UK & rest of The World, What’s the difference???

I was going through the Dribbble jobs page, and almost 175 jobs were posted. Nearly 160 of them were from the USA, 10 were from the UK and Europe, and 3 were from locations posted ‘anywhere’, but nothing was posted from Indian or even Asian locations.

What’s wrong with India? Has it forgotten about running Design-Directed Companies, or do they just love working for US and UK companies?

The actual terrible situation here in Mumbai.

The government says a person can live on 20 Cents, or 12 INR, daily, including lunch and dinner.

In-App Purchase, How & Why Apple Developer Community Is Doing It Wrong & What Is Best for Users to Remove Confusion & hassle from Their Mind Before Opting in for additional functionality.

After the invention of the ‘App Store’ by Apple Inc. for their products like the iPhone & iPad & later Macintosh, the Apple Developer community exploded with a new market of .99 cents apps where users can find them very easily & securely in one single location, i.e. App Store or Mac App Store.

One feature that the App Store has for users & and, importantly, for Developers is in-app Purchases.

But here is what is expected & not expected by users from developers & makers of Apps.

MTNL Unlimited Broadband Internet a Success on India’s Internet Standards but it has few glitches that MTNL Should improve on

The first Success story of MTNL Broadband is speed. It has excellent & stable Internet with an assured speed of 512kbps. Not Bad…

Connectivity of MTNL Broadband is excellent I almost had no internet outrages in three months nearly two.

Upload speed is not wrong for website developers & designers like me.

However, it has a few issues with Google Websites like Google Analytics, YouTube, and another website hosting provider called MediaTemple (mt).

Search Engine Optimisation for Title Tag & How it works & How it is crawled by Google, A lesson learned from my own portfolio website

Here is what I learned from Google’s Web Crawling algorithm over the years,

For the last three to two years, I have used ‘Design Portfolio | Mandar Apte’ as my title tag for my personal design portfolio website’s homepage, i.e. ‘Page Name | Website Name’. This is nothing more than to explain to people that they can get a complete insight into the website by just looking at the title on Google’s search result page.

But for the last few days, I got this result when I searched my name on Google. Yes, I was listed first when I searched for a name, i.e mandar apte,

But the result was something like this: ‘Mandar Apte: Design Portfolio’ instead of my curated title ‘Design Portfolio | Mandar Apte’. It seems Google altered my website homepage’s title tag on their search results. I was amassed, wondering why this should happen, and then I contacted Google support for the same.

& I got this answer from them…
