			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google+ may not have taken over Facebook but with around 100 million users, it is one of the most widely used online social networks. PlusDemographics is a web service that lets you make some sense of these almost 100 million users by giving you global demographics. This demographic report is free and covers areas like relationship status, gender, age, employer, occupation, school alumni, top state, region and city and even what users are interested in.</p>
<p>You can see a nice breakdown of each demographic as a small list as well as a pie chart. The best part is, you can drill down to any country and see the Google+ demographics specifically for that country. For a small fee, you can also unlock demographics for your Google+ network and the people in it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Literally hundreds of URL shrinking services have launched over the last couple of years and most of them offer nothing unique or different. In this crowd, VyuMe (pronounced  View Me) is among the very few that do stand out due to unique features. In addition to offering a very good URL shrinking tool, VyuMe also adds a social touch to it.</p>
<p>To begin with, VyuMe lets you add a personal note to any URL that you shorten. This note can have up to 500 characters and is a very good way to let users know exactly what this link is about. You can also use this to tell them if it is not safe for work or will expire soon or any other relevant information. However, if the users still don&#8217;t feel comfortable going to the link, they can preview it. Clicking on the short URL displays the complete URL of the destination page and lets users decide if they want to continue.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/vyu1.png?570cd5" alt="vyu.me" /></p>
<p>Users can also post comments about the link so you can get feedback. You can set your options to receive an email notification whenever somebody posts a comment on your URL. Moreover, you also gets statistics so you know how many people viewed your link. Within your VyuMe account, you can also sort all your links by date, number of views or number of comments. The VyuMe homepage also displays the most popular shared links, most shortened domains and most popular users.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/vyu2.png?570cd5" alt="vyu.me" /></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>URL shrinking service with social features.</li>
<li>Add notes to your link.</li>
<li>Lets users preview the complete URL before going to it.</li>
<li>Users can post comments to a shortened URL.</li>
<li>See how many users viewed your link.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are like to look up your friends’ names on Google for laughs, then here is a website to detect your name for traces of racy pictures &#8211; to say the least. Pr0n Index is a simple search mashup that lets you check how much of a given phrase listed in Google could be about porn.</p>
<p><<img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/pron1.png?570cd5" alt="pr0nindex" /></p>
<p>This rather fun app is really simple. All it does is search Google images for the keyword that you typed in and then get a ratio between the number of results with its safe search on and off. Obviously, a higher percentage means that the keyword could have more non-safe search pics, compared to safe ones. Although the method is too basic to do any serious background check of a person, it does bring out some nice laughs and some wasted time.</p>
<p>Pr0n Index is a nice app for anyone who has some time to kill and just want to find out how dirty his or her name is.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Search mashup for knowing your porn index score</li>
<li>Tweet results to your friends</li>
<li>Uses Google Images as backend</li>
<li>Cool Related Read: <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-cool-twitter-search-tricks-monitor-people/">5 Cool Twitter Search Tricks To Monitor What People Are Saying About You</a></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite all the tools in the market, Excel is still the most heavily used tool for managing and analyzing data. And tools like ExcelMashup make it even better by adding a visual component. ExcelMashup lets you create visual mashups of your Excel data by using Microsoft&#8217;s Javascript API.</p>
<p>The process is not completely hassle-free as you first have to upload your Excel data on SkyDrive and then embed it on the webpage using the HTML code. Once you have embedded the worksheet you can then use one of the many functions from the API to create mashups. For example, you can create interactive mashups by combining your data with Bing Maps. You can see the code snippets as well as actual API references.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/mashup.png?570cd5" alt="create visual mashups" /></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create web based mashups from Excel data.</li>
<li>See code snippets and examples from Javascript API.</li>
<li>Documents need to be uploaded on SkyDrive.</li>
