Yahoo instant messenger is now on Kindle?

Kindle is very useful device, now it is possible to log into Yahoo Mail using the Kindle, turns out that you now access Yahoo Messenger with the Kindle using the Yahoo mobile service. How cool is that?
I always wanted to check my email and yahoo messenger because of my boss!
Now while I am sitting on a park I can read new PHP-MYSQL 5 EBooks and can talk with my boss without paying any thing.

Staying logged into your Yahoo messenger for long is not a good idea because it will drain your battery. Since the mobile Yahoo messenger site does not use flash or java, you will be required to manually refresh the page to see any new messages you have received.

If you want to try this out yourself, you can follow the link to the Yahoo mobile messenger site:

How to remove duplicate entries from a table ?

Removing Duplicate entries from Mysql database table are really simple. I have found some times interviewer ask tricky questions like this. PHP-MYSQL Beginners  just be careful !

It can all be done with three manual SQL steps! No PHP Coding required, and it works with MySQL 4 and above versions.

Step One

CREATE TABLE MyNewTable as
SELECT * FROM MyOldTable WHERE 1 GROUP BY [column to remove duplicates by];

Step Two – You hate to keep old table with all the duplicate entries, so drop it!

DROP TABLE MyOldTable;
RENAME TABLE MyNewTable TO MyOldTable;

How to send bulk email through email software?

If you’re sending an email campaign to thousands or millions of user using some software then you’re going to need a reliable mail server. Most of the shared servers are not going to allow you send more email. There are a lot of restrictions and host may impose email sending restrictions which makes it impossible to send.

There are ways to send –
1. You can send emails out application your web host’s mail sending engine. This advantage is accomplished if you’re sending only a few hundred emails per month, about as soon as you go over this, your host will not allow you to send more. This option is good for sending email using online php tools so many are available please check with google 🙂
2. You can buy your own committed server from service provider like RackSpace.com or netatlantic.com (we are using this!) and configure it to send emails. We send 60000 emails per month without any issue, they have easy to use web interface. We just create newsletter test and send to our subscribers. It works perfectly.

3. Most effective option is using third party mail server like SMTP.com. Even if you are using shared server you can use there service if you have tones of email to send. Don’t forget to negotiate for discount if you are using there partners software!!
