Microsoft goes 2.0??

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

by Tiara Rea
This is some pretty cool news I thought I’d share: Microsoft is going 2.0.

Okay, not really. But they just introduced a SWEET and incredibly-interactive computer tabletop that’s scheduled to be marketed first to hotels, restaurants, and retailers. I’m not sure when they plan to release something like this for the public or what kind of cash it’s going to cost us, but I would imagine there are bugs galore to be worked out.

And they’re calling it: Surface. (Oooooh, aaaaaah.)

Surface is a 30-inch computer in table form, which simultaneously recognize dozens of movements such as touch, gestures and will be able to recognize actual unique objects that have identification tags similar to bar codes. It will ship out with a portfolio of basic applications, including photos, music, virtual concierge and games, which can be customized to provide their customers with unique experiences. Touch sensitive, you can arrange photos, book hotels, compare phones, and the screen even recognizes multiple points on the computer! That means if you have a bunch of pictures on it, three or four people can be touching and arranging and looking at them simultaneously. Soon, it seems it will be able to recognize actual unique objects that have identification tags similar to bar codes.

I think this is a pretty unique step forward for Microsoft, as I would have imagined Mac would have done it first. ;)

5 Things to Do After Launching a Web Site

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Author: Mitch Keeler

Gaining press and getting people interested in what you are producing are some of the hardest things to do once your Web site is finally up and running. Will they love me or do they hate me? Well first they have to find out who you are. Here are five things I always try to do when it comes to launching a new Web site or project.

1. Get the Web Site Finished - Nobody likes to get all hyped up over an idea to go find out it isn’t even done yet. It might sound like something most people would think of, but you’d be surprised by the number who do not.

2. Tell Your Friends and Family First - Word of mouth advertising is always the best, so when launching a new Web site or project this should be the first area you focus on when it comes to spreading the word about what you are trying to do. These people are also the easier to beg and plead with when it comes to asking to share it with friends and people they know that you do not. I’d much rather beg my best friend to do something for me than a total stranger.

3. Use the Social Web Experience - Now I am not going to tell you to go submit yourself to every social news Web site, because that it usually frowned upon. You can use some of these thing to your advantage though. Try to get yourself on places like StumbleUpon and Del.icio.us. They can bring a lot of fresh faces to your Web site, especially if it leans a little towards the geeky side of things.

4. Find the Network for Web Sites Like Yours - Next step should be to find forums, blogs and other social means of communication on the Web and spread your message there about your new project or idea. Make sure you an established personality or member of these forums or groups that you post at before you start plugging yourself as well. Nobody likes to be the guy who makes his introduction while plugging something. It looks a little tacky.

5. Reach Out to the Press - Is there a certain group of professional press you can reach out to in your area of business? If so - you might hit them up for a review or a mention of your new project or Web site. If your Web site is about soccer, and your doing something nobody else has done before, some soccer news outlets across the Web might be interested in your story. It never hurts to at least pitch the idea to them. If they can’t use you now, they might keep you in mind for something in the future.

I suspect many customers would like their hosting providers to read this article: With over twenty thousand web hosting companies competing for new customers, there’s been a lot of speculation over what people are looking for when they purchase hosting….

Block Google Ads In Opera

Monday, May 28th, 2007

I’m having some problem with my pc (a five year old one) and ya know,firefox eats lots of
RAM and I have 512MB only.Hence I use Opera more often lately,which eats less RAM.
We all know (I mean us webmasters : ) there’s a plugin called Adblock for Firefox,which blocks many ads such as Google ads,CJ affiliate ads,ect.However there
are not many plugins for Opera.Here I’ll show you how to block Google Ads in Opera.

  • Go to Tools –> Preferences
  • Click on the “Advanced” tab, and then on the left sidebar, click “Content” and the button “Blocked Content”:
  • Click on the button that says “Add”, a new text field for you to put a web address willbe there and you can just put this in them:
  • http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/*

Now let’s say Bye-bye to those annoying ads!

Show iGoogle Some Lunarpages Love

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Add the Lunar Links to iGoogle

I have been wanting to tinker with creating an iGoogle gadget for a while now - just never had a good reason or cause to do it. That was the case of course till last night while cruising through some of the recent threads over on the forums. Then I heard a voice - a voice that said, “Give the Lunarpages customers an easier way to access some of the most often clicked links that Lunarpages.com has to offer.”

Oh yeah, it also said something about “If you build it they will come…” or something to that effect.

iGoogle Lunar Links

Here is a closer view on what you can get on your iGoogle page once you add it. As you can see everything from the Lunarforums to submitting a help desk ticket is on there. Not too shabby for a quick day and a half of learning the iGoogle gadget ropes.

Just click the link above to add it to your own iGoogle homepage. Let me know what you think too - this one was so much fun to create, might just have to do some more.
