I have created a twitter reader that displays a user's timeline using JQuery. The implementation is very simple.

If you get MS Office as a SAAS app, you can pay for the Excel or Word and only for the time you use. Coming to the main point of this blog post, “How to save your data remotely and access from anywhere?” I remember the time around 10 years back when I bought my first PC. The Internet was available only for the elite community at a premium and that too dialup. We have to literally pray for the connection to get successful and pray more for not getting disconnected in between. With a little over 8 kbps max speed, you can browse a lot of static sites and check your mails.
