Www.HealthCare.Gov - The Obamacare Marketplace

Unsurprisingly the most popular website being visited now is Www.Healthcare.Gov, the Obamacare marketplace that has forced the Government shutdown.

The Obamacare (or affordable healthcare for all by the Obama Govt) website  comes with an one page guide to the health insurance marketplace.

https://www.healthcare.gov/get-covered-a-1-page-guide-to-the-health-insurance-marketplace/

At first glance the website seems surprisingly simple, well laid out and easily navigable.

However early twitter reports convey a number of glitches with some of the exchanges for different states down.

To start with one has to first go into the Individual/Families or the Small Business Category. The next step would be to Select the State.

Go to the Healthcare.Gov website to continue with one's application for Obamacare.

www.thefacesoffacebook.com/ - The Faces of Facebook - All Facebook At One Place

What will you say about an effort that coalesces all the Faces of Facebook? All 1.2 billion of them! This gargantuan effort loads all 1.2 billion profiles' faces on its website. Zooming onto a single portion gives one a more detailed view of the faces and even closer zooming will launch a person's facebook profile.

Go to www.thefacesoffacebook.com to see all the  faces of facebook -almost  the cyber world brought together as it is! However as maybe expected the site is taking a long hile to load. That could be an effect of the increased traffic to the site or a conflict of all the diversity brought together ;-)

Nokia has finally siphoned off its handset business to Microsoft for $5 Billions. In a $ 7.2 bn deal Microsoft gets Nokia's handset business and a 10 year license on Nokia's technology patents.

Microsoft's Windows Operating system languishes behind Android and Apple in terms of apps and popularity. Samsung meanwhile has a popular handset for every segment.
