The Trump-Xi Beijing Summit: What the Smiling Handshakes Won't Tell You

On Thursday, Donald Trump will walk into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, shake Xi Jinping's hand, and declare it a great meeting. There will be announcements. There will be numbers — billions of dollars in Chinese purchase commitments, a new bilateral mechanism with an important-sounding name, possibly a joint statement on Iran. Trump will post on Truth Social. Markets will rally briefly. Pundits will argue about who won. None of that will tell you what actually happened. What is actually happening in Beijing this week is something more consequential and more uncomfortable than the summit theatre will reveal: two leaders of two deeply mutually dependent superpowers, both of whom need this meeting to succeed for entirely different reasons, sitting across a table in a world that has already moved past the assumptions that defined their last nine months of negotiations. The Iran war changed the equations. The rare earth gambit changed the power balance. Taiwan is sitting in...

Manage multiple Twitter accounts with one Mail ID

This comes in handy for people who have different accounts for business and personal Tweets. You know how it is. You have an account where you speak about your company and keep it official but also have another account to Tweet all your personal thoughts. Twitter on the other hand will not allow you to create more than one account per email ID which means to create another account you would need to use another mail ID which makes things all a bit too tedious.  So here is a simple workaround and works only with Gmail.

So you can use x.yz@gmail.com or you can use x.y.z@gmail.com and all mail will be delivered to the originial mail ID which is xyz@gmail.com. So this is what you use to trick Twitter. Twitter will consider xyz@gmail.com and x.yz@gmail.com as two separate and valid email addresses and even though both point to the ...

Tips and Tricks for Twitter

Twitter Guide : Learn some interesting tips and tricks for Twitter. Q:  Can I respond directly to someone’s tweet? What’s the difference between an @reply and a direct message? A:  You can respond to people one of two ways: with direct messages, which are private, 140-character exchanges, or with @replies, which are publicly viewable. You can send a ‘@reply’ by simply adding the ‘@’ symbol and the particular user’s name to the beginning of your message (example: “@switched: I really liked that article on Twitter!”). These @replies are ideal for furthering a public dialogue. On the other hand, direct messages, which you can send by clicking ‘Direct Messages’ in the Web site’s right-hand bar (or by preceding a text message with ‘d’ and the user name), are better for things you want to say to an individual, rather than the whole ‘Twitterverse.’ Q:  What is ReTweeting? A:  ReTweets are re-posted updates that give credit to the originator of the message. In other words, you’re simply cuttin...
