Want your mom or site visitors to know which other websites are linking to your blog ? Just place a Technorati cosmos iframe in your blog sidebar.

The embedding process is very simple. Here we'll actually show you two Technorati hacks that allow you to add the WhoLinksToMe box in your blog.

Technorati Cosmos using Bumpbox

Bumpbox is a third party service that uses the Technorati API to fetch the link data from Technorati database. Here the data refreshes only after an hour but the embedded box is free of any sponsored links that you get with Technorati Mini. You will also see a short context of the linking blog post by appeneding &desc=true to the blog url.

Note: Replace abc.com with your own blog URL.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
