Top 100 Animated TV Series. The cartoon is indeed a wonderful thing. Once mostly deemed to be the territory of a kids-only audience, the world of animation has evolved over the years so as to appeal to adults as well as children… or is it just that many adults these days have the minds of children? Don't ask us, for if there's one thing that the IGN editors can claim to be, it's kids trapped in the bodies of adults. And so it goes without saying that we sure do love us some cartoons. And in particular, television has proven to be a hugely important part of our toon-development, starting from our earliest days with the Saturday morning and after-school shows and continuing right on to today with the more mature Adult Swim offerings and the like. In fact, as we prepped for this story and looked back at our many favorite animated series from over the years, we were amazed by the diversity of the shows that we came up with.

50 Viral Images (and how they spread) Viral videos are ubiquitous – they have spread into both mainstream pop culture and corporate America. Everyone talks about developing viral videos, and there are plenty of techniques you can use to give your video the best chance of success. But, something not talked about as frequently are viral images. Viral images predate viral videos, and have been around since the AOL and Prodigy days when there wasn’t enough bandwidth available for the everyday user to access video. Images can be spread on the web through several means, and they criss-cross back and forth between: Message-boards and forumsBlogsEmails (inter-office, personal and mass emails to all your friends)Social networksBasic HTML Web sitesCompany intranets Viral images have held on tightly and are as much a part of “Web 2.0” as they were for Web 1.0.

With so many people contributing photos, graphics, cartoons and other kinds of images to the web, it is only natural that the most compelling of them are shared on a mass scale. 50 Viral Images Part Two. My original 50 viral images (and how they spread) post turned out to be extremely successful and was read quite a few times to say the least. I was surprised so many people were interested as the images in there had already been passed around social media to death.

With that said, I failed to consider most people don’t spend nearly as much time on the web as I do. Seeing as the first viral images post was published June 15, 2008 we’re passed due for a fresh one. Again, as I said in the previous post: Unfortunately due to the nature of images on the web (images being copied, posted without attribution, shared via email and public hosting services, being submitted anonymously, rexmied, etc.) it is difficult for me to give proper attribution of these images. If I posted one of your images and you’d like a link or attribution, please drop me a line and I will add that. Notice many people embed their website URL or source directly into the image.

IGNOU teams up with Nokia to offer - Online Best Latest IGNOU teams up with Nokia to offer Price Reviews | Features in India. Nokia and Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) have teamed up to offer users certifications programs in English, via Nokia’s Ovi Life Tools service. Initially, for the launch pilot, they will offer the Certificate Programme in Functional English (CFE) on Life Tools enabled Nokia handsets in Maharashtra, from January to June 2011.

The pilot programme will entail the ability to fill in admission forms via Ovi Life Tools, apart from receiving study material & related support with IGNOU’s “study aid and reinforcer” on their mobile via SMS. After the necessary examinations, students will receive their certificates from IGNOU. Learning from how CFE on mobile goes over with the Maharashtrian Ovi Lifers, the duo intends to launch other certifications programmes as well. Nokia’s Ovi Life Tools platform was certainly built with this in mind – wide reach, text information, low cost – and it also supports 11 Indian languages.
