How does Windows Live Messenger works? there are millions of users typing messages everyday but maybe few of them ever asked themselves how the messenger really works! so here I wrote a little post about it.

Another element of the architecture is the Address Book. The client A gets directly from the Address Book his list of contacts.
Then the client A tells to his CS who his friends are, the CS subscribes to his friend’s PS to get the presence information that are sent up through the client server connection.
If the client A change his status to OffLine for example, the change goes up to the CS of A, then to the PS of A, then down to the CS of B through the subscription and then down to the client B.

Why Backlinks are so important?
First of all backlinks can increase traffic to your website, as they are a sort of advertisment for your website placed on other blogs or websites. In addiction, Search Engines use the number of backlinks to a website for determining that website’s Ranking (Google’s PageRank algorithm for example uses backlinks). You can check a site’s PageRank in a browser for example through the Google Toolbar, or through the Page Rank Bar Graph in Google’s directory, or others plugins.

Ok. Before we start.. what is CSS?
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language as for example HTML, HTML or even XML. The CSS specifications are maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
