Bing is Online with a Bang

by Admin on June 1, 2009

Welcome back!

Hi Folks,

I just checked @bing and found out that Microsoft’s new Search Engine Bing is live.

We already had the idea that Microsoft was about to release a new Search Engine!

Formerly known as Kumo, Bing, which should become available worldwide by June 3, is Microsoft’s latest attempt to steal market share away from Google. According to Microsoft, Bing, while providing a good general search experience, wants to focus on providing an especially good user experience in four verticals: making a purchase decision, planning a trip, researching a health condition, and finding a local business.

For the most part, Bing’s interface resembles that of today’s Live Search, with a large ‘cover image’ on the front page that surrounds the search box. The major difference in the user interface is the addition of guided searches in the left sidebar, though Microsoft says that the real changes are under the hood. The company argues that it can bring a new approach to Internet search by providing a richer, easier, and more organized search experience.

Here are some screenshots:

So, go on and try the new Search Engine :p

Google has confirmed that a software bug exposed documents thought to be privately stored in the Internet giant’s online Docs application service.

The problem was fixed by the weekend and is believed to have affected only .05 percent of the digital documents at a Google Docs service that provides text-handling programs as services on the Internet.

“We’ve identified and fixed a bug where a very small percentage of users shared some of their documents inadvertently,” Google Docs Product Manager Jennifer Mazzon wrote in a message at the firm’s website on Saturday.

“We’re sorry for the trouble this has caused. We understand our users’ concerns (in fact, we were affected by this bug ourselves) and we’re treating this very seriously.”

The problem occurred in cases where people had chosen to collaborate on multiple documents and adjusted settings to allow access to others, according to Google.

Collaborators were unintentionally given permission to access documents aside from the ones intended.

“As part of the fix, we used an automated process to remove collaborators and viewers from the documents that we identified as having been affected,” Mazzon said.

“We then emailed the document owners to point them to their affected documents in case they need to re-share them.”

The slip comes as Google and other Internet firms entice people to rely on applications offered online as services “in the cloud” instead of buying software then installing and maintaining it on their own machines.

While the trend toward cloud services is growing, some still worry about the privacy of data kept online and whether it is shrewd to rely on the Internet for access to information and applications.

Expired Domain Traffic – Make Money with It

by Admin on December 20, 2008

Expired Domain traffic plays an important role in expired domain business. It is a critical element that can create immense value to your domains. All famous expired domains invariably had tons of incoming traffic attached to it. People who are looking for an expired domain are very eager to buy it if it has traffic and links attached to it.

Buying and selling expired domain traffic is a profitable idea that can result in an ongoing online income to your business. Before you wish to sell it to other people, you may need to acquire domain traffic on a consistent basis. There are actually two different modes of acquiring it to your expired domain. One method is to purchase the traffic from a reseller by paying a price while the other is to accumulate it by redirecting the traffic to your domain. Purchasing and using expired traffic involves lots of effort, investing time and money.

This method is also a mode of flipping your domains by adding commercial value to the web pages. While flipping your domain, you may need to collect organic type of traffic that is real and well recognized by major search engines. Once you purchase your expired domains, you will need to create a redirection mechanism on them so that anyone who makes a visit to your defunct sites will be redirected to your main site.

Selling expired traffic through your expired domains require lot of patience and effort as building quality links will always take lot of time. Domain flipping to add traffic is a value based activity that will eventually end up in selling an expired domain for a very high price. Some of the well-known methods that can bring in lots of traffic are:

a) Affiliate a program that not only provides you an ongoing type of income, but also brings a considerable amount of traffic.

b) Flipped domains with a catchy web site and keyword enriched content will provide you an opportunity to sell them at premium prices. Such domains are very good candidates for PPC campaigns and Google AdSense programs. When you use these innovative methods to promote your expired domains, you are adding quality traffic and inbound links.

c) Placing individual web pages based on defunct and non-functional expired domains over the internet and insert outgoing links to your main websites. This simple action may result in redirecting traffic to your other web sites. In the meantime, all defunct expired domains will add invisible value to themselves resulting in increased domain gains.

In essence, expired domain traffic helps you in two distinctive ways:

a) Inflating the inherent value of the domain. Traffic enriched domains can yield you better profits as well.

b)You can also act as an expired domain traffic reseller by selling traffic to other people. However, collecting such traffic is a dicey affair and a difficult task.

In the end, you may need to search for an effective domain flipping system to add commercial value to your domains. Traffic enriched expired web domains can help you set up a strong and highly profitable domain trading business.

Obama Plans to Put Every Child Online

by Admin on December 9, 2008

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama has outlined an ambitious plan to give every child in the U.S. access to the Internet and to connect the nation’s hospitals with “cutting edge technology.”

The items are part of his plan to generate or save 2.5 million jobs over to the next two years and boost the flagging economy. They were outlined in his weekly video address posted on the Change.gov Web site.

“It is unacceptable that the United States ranks 15th in the world in broadband adoption,” Obama said. “Here, in the country that invented the Internet, every child should have the chance to get online, and they’ll get that chance when I’m President — because that’s how we’ll strengthen America’s competitiveness in the world.”

He also pledged to modernize the nation’s schools, make them energy efficient with new heating and lighting systems and put new computers in classrooms.

He also plans to put Internet connections into schools, libraries and hospitals. The latter is part of a plan to connect the healthcare industry.

“We will make sure that every doctor’s office and hospital in this country is using cutting edge technology and electronic medical records so that we can cut red tape, prevent medical mistakes, and help save billions of dollars each year,” he said.
