Plurk could have not asked more than this.
Canadian startup Plurk, a Twitter-like social networking site that has gotten quite popular in China, accused Microsoft China of not only stealing the service’s design, but 80 percent of the service’s code too. In response, Microsoft has pulled its microblogging site, which goes by the name of Juku and was developed by a third-party vendor for the company’s MSN China joint venture.
Plurk has been busy this week, attracting the attention of Social Media evangelists, most who are current Twitter users.This is the best thing that could have happened for plurk due to the outburst.
We are showcasing the few statistical analysis of traffic growth from alexa:
Plurk saw more than 50% increase in traffic& 200% in alexa traffic rank.

Due to the increase in popularity of Web 2.0 applications and web services it has become increasingly important to be able to parse XML from the client browser.Parsing is not the easiest thing till the JavaScript libraries that supports XML made their way.
With jQuery, when you receive an XML from a callback (usually thro’ Ajax) which is basically a DOM (document object model) that jQuery can traverse seamlessly and efficiently to get the data you need.
we are using jQuery to parse XML due to its ubiquity& for cross browser compatibility.
The below xml file is used for reference.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<country>
<state>
<city>Bangalore</city>
<id>24378</id>
</state>
<state>
<city>Chennai</city>
<id>42378</id>
</state>
<state>
<city>Mumbai</city>
<id>324782</id>
</state>
<state>
<city>Hyderabad</city>
<id>6524</id>
</state>
</country>
To parse the xml file we’re going to set up a function that will search each parent element and output the specified child element’s value as text using the find and each statement.The xml data gets parsed on success of ajax callback through parseXml function.Don’t forget to set dataType as “xml” while making an ajax call.
$(this).find(”city”).text() represents the textual value of city by striping the city tags -<city> &</city>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>xml parser using jquery</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery-min.1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/statecity.xml",
dataType: "xml",
success: parseXml
});
function parseXml(xml) {
$(xml).find("state").each(function() {
//Loops through each state & find's respective instance of city & id in the xml file
$("table#Citylist").append('<tr><td>'+ $(this).find("city").text() +'</td><td>'+$(this).find("id").text()+'</td></tr>');
});
}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table id="Citylist">
<tr ><td >City List</td> <td >ID</td><tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The output would be displayed as below after parsing the xml file:
| The City List | ID |
| Bangalore | 24378 |
| Chennai | 42378 |
| Mumbai | 324782 |
| Hyderabad | 6524 |
For the below html code snippet ,we can retreive the selected(checked) checkbox values into an javascript array for further processing.
<div>
<input type="checkbox" name="list_group" value="one" />
<input type="checkbox" name="list_group" value="two" />
<input type="checkbox" name="list_group" value="three" />
<input type="checkbox" name="list_group" value="four" />
<input type="checkbox" name="list_group" value="five" />
</div>
jQuery code to be used on onready or onclick event.
var values = new Array();
$.each($("input[@name='list_group']:checked"), function() {
values.push($(this).val());
});
Javascript for loop:
for( i=0; i < myArray.length; i++){
myArray[i];
}
jQuery for loop:
jQuery.each(myArray, function(i, val) {
val;
});
jquery each function acts as a looping function where "i" acts as a iterator & "val" gives the respective positional values of an array.
