Wonderful, whimsical Google is always coming up with ways to creatively use their search engine platform. They have done it again with their idea of A-Google-a-Day.

A-Google-A-Day is run by Deja Google platform. This platform lets a person search the Internet as it was before the present A-Google-A-Day puzzle appears. Mysterious I know, but its Google so just pretend it is a time machine going into the past. Besides its Google’s solution for keeping fast reading and lightening quick fingered bloggers from sharing the answer to that day’s puzzle before most of us have had our morning coffee. It keeps it fun like dot-dot-dot.org.

Daniel Russell who created the site states real time updates are excluded. He goes on to explain the purpose of the site is to get Google users to expand the types of text and questions they put in the search box. The Google search engine is capable of handling playful questioning and searching for information in intriguing ways. The term “social layer” comes to mind if Google is moving in the direction of creating fun little things to get people to make full use of the features, and at the same time establish an environment of social interaction.

Recently Eugene Lee at Enterprise 2.0 stated social layering is the process of socializing across applications or more accurately a layer that crosses multiple services. Interoperatbility is the key concept with protocols working together to let people engage socially across tools. The services instead of being separate hubs become part of a rich tapestry in which a user can pick a strand and follow their whims.

The Importance of Antivirus Software

January 21, 2011 By admin

Did you know that you are setting your computer system up for a major catastrophe if you don’t have antivirus software installed on it?

Yes, it can happen to you, and without warning. Computer systems that don’t have any type of guard against virus loading on their computers are at a high risk. You can lose your files, documents, photos and many pieces of important information if your computer is infected with a virus.

To further convey this serious magnitude of the need for antivirus software, most people would be quite surprised to know how easy it is for your computer to become infected with a virus. By simply opening up a harmless looking email, or by clicking on a link within an email, or by clicking on a link that comes through a pop-up window, you are essentially exposing your computer to potentially fatal applications that can shut down your entire system.

What’s the remedy? Antivirus software is the answer.

Let’s say that you forgo the idea to guard your computer with an antivirus software. What do you risk? You risk an email Trojan infiltrating your computer, you risk a virus infecting your contact database of information and spreading it across the board, and you risk malware being installed onto your computer’s hard drive, causing even more complications and inconveniences.

PC Tools Free Antivirus software is going to help protect your computer from malicious spam, malware and viruses that can be damaging to your hard drive. When you receive unsolicited emails from senders that you did not request, or that are relentlessly annoying, despite your requests at having your name removed, this is considered “spam” and can be hard to get rid of with even the best of efforts. This is why using specific antivirus software is preferable and more reliable than leaving your system to chance.

Using Web Radio to Drive Site Traffic

January 15, 2011 By admin

When it comes to bringing people to your site, one of the great ways to do that is through web radio. Places like Dr. Jays – a site that offers hip hop fashion – use it frequently. They have a segment with Boss Lady that gets a lot of attention, and that brings more people to their site in an effort to see what it’s all about. Of course, there are plenty of other things you can do with a web radio station. You can put one on your site quite easily, and there are many programs that allow that. It’s a lot like a podcast, or streaming video, where you provide information and it goes out to people who are watching or listening in real time. Dr. Jays has seen so much success that you might want to consider it for yourself.

When people visit DrJays, they’re looking for the best hip hop fashion in style from New York to LA, but that might not really be what got them headed there in the first place. They may have heard something on web radio that they really liked, and they decided to head on over and see what all of the fuss is about. You can get people coming to your site that way, too, if you want to. They’ll notice that you have something to say, so they’ll come by your site to see what it is and what benefit it has for them. You won’t convert everyone into a customer, but you’ll get some of them interested in what you’re selling.

What you should talk about is entirely up to you, but you’ll want people to be interested in what you have to offer and how they can get in on the action. You should also promote your radio or podcasts through your website, through social networks, and through friends and family members who will get the word out.
