Surfing the web checking the width of search results from Google and Getcy, I was glad about good work and improvements of Getcy search: it covers a lot of websites of Cyprus. Furthermore, it gives the ability of specifying the search.
Concerning the quality of the search, Getcy has more websites which are really in use, rather then the sites updated in 1998 last time.
Honestly, I’m not a big fan of podcasts. When I miss some programs, or want to check the interviews of somebody - podcast is definitely the solution.

Bizantium, Constantinopole, Istanbul - different names, but the city remains the same.
The last time I’ve seen people calling this city Constantinople (or Tzar-city, as Russian interpretation of the name) was in the 9th class. In the literature classes. When the poets were using old names of Istanbul just to get a proper rhythm in the poetry.
As it appeared for some of the Cypriots, they’ve got offended when I called the biggest Turkish city by name which is used since 15th century - Istanbul. I was told that in all Greek maps they use Constantinople as the only correct name for Istanbul.
That was a bit shocking for me. In other words, 15th century name stayed unchanged.
I’ve got few questions: is it just another example of anti-Turkish aggression, or they still use 15th century maps in geography classes? And if they use it, do they know that the Earth is not flat?..
