Search Engines learns to crawl Flash

Brian — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:37:53 +0000

Google has been developing a new algorithm for indexing textual content in Flash files of all kinds, from Flash menus, buttons and banners, to self-contained Flash websites. Recently, we’ve improved the performance of this Flash indexing algorithm by integrating Adobe’s Flash Player technology.

is .pizza on the way? New Domain Extension Shakes Things Up

Brian — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:33:21 +0000

(CNN) — A group charged with overseeing the development of the Internet voted Thursday to relax the rules on Web site naming conventions — potentially triggering a virtual domain name gold rush to rival the dotcom boom of the late 1990s.

Paul Twomey is president and CEO of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

At a meeting in Paris Thursday, the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers — also known by its acronym ICANN — unanimously approved key proposals to allow domain names using any combination of letters and numbers, including non-Latin characters.

A complete overhaul of the way in which people navigate the internet has been given the go-ahead in Paris.

The net’s regulator, Icann, voted unanimously to relax the strict rules on so-called “top-level” domain names, such as .com or .uk.

The decision means that companies could turn brands into web addresses, while individuals could use their names.

True File Compression Software For Free

Brian — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:23:29 +0000

I think we all use some for of compression software in our daily Internet and office lives. Well maybe not all people, but st some point you encounter the question, ” How do I make this file smaller?” The compression software that is built into Windows XP isn’t really all that great at compression files, but it bundles them up for you nicely so they attach easily in emails and for storing on disk. I was using Fipzip for a long time just to bundle files to deliver to clients and friends, but that program while serving me well over the years just plains sucks for compression. I only spent 5 mins looking around the web for a replacement to flipzip and found Just-ZipIT. Downloaded and installed and performed a zip on a .psd file that started as a 182MB. Filpzip only crunched it down to 180MB and that just will not do. But Just-ZipIT drop it down to just a tad over 25MB.

Now that is compression, Woot!

This tiny app was FREE,
Has an Award from Softpedia claiming 100% Clean
No Adware
No Spyware,
No Viruses.

I give it a solid rating after its ease of use and its power of smashing data down small.

Lots of projects, little posting

Brian — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 04:19:20 +0000

I have been working on many projects of my own both routinely and in depth. It is nice to see a couple of ideas start taking shape, gathering traffic and gradually growing. Freelance is providing a steady stream of earnings along with Affiliate sales, PPC, and even the parked domains have increased in traffic and monetarily. Need to pick a few of those and give them the seed of development. Still trying to get regular posting here, put that in with the Lots of projects getting done. Oops, guess not this one….good thing blogging isn’t my source of income, but still I understand the power that a properly run blog can yield.

ok, back work.

Intel to hip hop

Brian — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:23:13 +0000

One only has to look to marketing to see who won the music wars back in late 80′s and early 90′s. We all know how powerful a jingle or tune can impact a consumer. Think Sprint’s “Pin Drop” sound. Or when you boot windows you are greeted with nice set of notes that make you almost feel, like the screen says, “welcome to windows.”

With that in mind let’s take a look at what Intel has done recently.

“While hip-hop artists frequently mention favorite brands in their songs, it’s pretty safe to say that tech stalwart Intel Corp. hasn’t been one of them — until now. And rather than rely on serendipity for a shout-out, Intel took matters into its own hands and commissioned a song from hip-hop/R&B musician Sean Kingston.” read rest of that article

On top of paying the artist, they sponsored the website, made up a video, and of course ringtones and let the world know that hip hop has Gotta Move Faster which is also the name of the Song that gives a Shout out to Centrino as the song opens. Check it out for yourself. Here

Social Alarm Clock

Brian — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 17:25:54 +0000

I’m not quite sure how it works and still on the fence on if I’m going to join, but for those that really get into the social networking, perhaps you would like to wake up to a social buddy’s alarm? If this sounds like the type of thing you’d be into then be sure and check out Ryan Spahn’s Sleep.fm Ryan has a few links on on his Blog TechAdvid that lead to some of his other “products” like http://www.notepadded.com/ which says it “Hand Coded Whatever” but I could not get the app to work in either Firefox or in I.E. 7 shame looked fun. The last link (beside his personal info) is for
Mubiquity(mew-bik-wha-tee)
Ubiquity – the state of being everywhere
Mubiquity – the state of music being everywhere

Neat idea, cool enough that I might even check back to see if/ when it is expected to go live. Nothing but a yellow page with bold blck text there now.

Ryan I like what you got going.I love seeing other people’s creations expand the web to new areas….welcome to the Social Alarm clock….

SEO Friendly URL Structure for WordPress Blogs

Brian — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 21:40:29 +0000

I have been wondering how to get my urls to be more search engine friendly. The first thing to do is get yourself a plugin and read Mr. Loren Baker’s Blog post on how to do just that. Here is the link : Friendly URL

There is a little more to it than just that. I am planning on getting down and dirty with my robots.txt file to block the spiders from getting to the duplicate content. Not sure exactly how to do it just yet, but hope to have it figured out soon.
