The 3G iPhone: Good Things Come in Threes
Autor admin | 13.06.2008 | Category SEO
The blogosphere and news media are abuzz this week over the launch of the hotly anticipated 3G iPhone. In case you live in a cave, a new iPhone that will be half the price ($199-$299) with double the download speeds of the first generation will be available July 11.
Among its many new features, local search arguably stands to benefit the most, even though it’s probably not as sexy as the social or gaming apps that we’ll see roll out in the coming months.
One of the device’s biggest talking points is new GPS capability. GPS will complement the iPhone’s existing location awareness that utilizes Wi-Fi and cell tower triangulation to fix on a location and deliver local search results accordingly.

Over the past few months we’ve talked about how to build and grow your SEM business. I’ve looked at setting up your SEM, finding clients, marketing your agency, selling your services, recruiting the right people, and training your staff. In this article, I’ll bring it all together by talking about your role as an agency leader and how to expand your own personal growth.
Like my journey, yours may have begun with an interest and knowledge of search engines. At some point, you decided it was going to be your career, so you freelanced or started your one-man shop. If the entrepreneurial spirit was strong enough, your workload increased, and you decided to hire an individual or a team to help you.

Government Not Driving IPv6 for Enterprise
Autor admin | 13.06.2008 | Category SEO
The U.S. government deadline of June 30 for IPv6 (define) compliance is nearing. Though the government is mandating compliance, two of the biggest vendors in the government networking space do not see a mad rush in the final week.
Some doubt also exists as to whether the government’s IPv6 mandate is having an impact on enterprise adoption in the United States for IPv6.
The move to IPv6 is of critical importance as the IPv4 address space near depletion and the U.S. lags behind the rest of the world in terms of adoption.
“We haven’t really seen any last-minute rush,” Tim LeMaster, director of systems engineering for Juniper Networks (NASDAQ: JNPR), told InternetNews.com.

Wii Fit Finds Fans in Rehab

NEW YORK — Injured athletes may find themselves playing Nintendo’s Wii Fit as part of their rehabilitation.
This and other fitness-oriented video games have “great potential” for core strengthening and rehabilitation and may boost compliance with rehabilitation exercises, Sue Stanley-Green, a professor of athletic training at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, told Reuters Health.
“We are looking to incorporate Wii Fit into the athletic training room as far as rehabilitation, for example, on post-operative knees and ankles,” she noted in a telephone interview.
Fitness video games that have the user perform lower-body balance and weight-shifting activities could help patients with weight-bearing rehabilitation after an injury or surgery.

VMware will include support for Mac OS X Leopard Server in VMware Fusion’s next beta.

VMware Fusion already lets users run Windows, Linux and other PC operating systems as virtual machines on their Intel-based Apple Macintoshes.
The news came out of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, held in San Francisco this week.

When ‘Poking’ on Facebook, Manners Matter
Autor admin | 13.06.2008 | Category SEO
LONDON — Should you reject a friend on MySpace? How do you ward off an old lover on Facebook?
Have no fear. Britain’s etiquette bible has come to the rescue for social networkers who are at a loss about how to behave with online decorum.
Debrett’s have helped to compile a new set of “golden rules” for devotees of sites like Facebook and Bebo.
The rules were put together after research by the telecoms company Orange showed that almost two thirds of social networkers are frustrated and confused by online etiquette.

The 7 Features the ‘iPhone Killers’ Missed
Autor admin | 13.06.2008 | Category SEO
Every week, it seems, the press labels some new phone the latest “iPhone Killer.”
This week, of course, the first-ever true “iPhone Killer” — the new iPhone — was announced. The “3Gesus Phone” adds me-too, “catch-up” features that competitive phones have offered for quite a while, such as 3G and GPS.
The “iPhone Killers,” including the Garmin’s Nuviphone; Samsung’s Instinct and Omnia; HTC’s Touch Diamond; BlackBerry Thunder; and others, have software, rather than hardware buttons for dialing the phone and typing messages. They also tend to have other iPhone-like features, such as accelerometers for automatically reorienting the display for landscape or portrait modes.

A Google Gain From Yahoo-Microsoft Rift?
Autor admin | 13.06.2008 | Category SEO
Microsoft’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) plan to establish a strong footing in online advertising suffered a big blow on Thursday as merger talks with Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) finally, formally failed and Yahoo said it would let Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) sell search ads on its site.
“Google has made an enormous gain strategically,” Sanford Bernstein analyst Jeffrey Lindsay said. “This move might well have shut Microsoft out of the online space altogether.”
Separate statements from Microsoft and Yahoo signaled a real rift between the two after their agonizing on-again, off-again talks, and Yahoo shares fell 10 percent as final hopes of a full or partial acquisition faded.

News Corp.’s (NYSE: NWS) MySpace plans a global redesign next week in an attempt to widen its demographics and boost user engagement on the site, the social networking site said on Friday.
In what it said would be the largest scale relaunch of a Web site of its size, MySpace will change its home page, navigation, profile editing, search, and MySpaceTV player facilities. Other changes will come during the summer.
“This is more than a face-lift; we’re changing the way people interact with the site and with brands,” MySpace reported.
The company said it’s signed a major advertiser for the U.S.
