Yet there are many stories of how small businesses that are involved in social media are getting great results. Even local businesses."

Online Video Use on Media Sites Jumps to 85% » The Social Newsroom: "broadband capacity increases so does the demand for visual material and video.

Peer Economy

Its a bit of interesting information from the Social Cloud platform:

Source: http://www.socialcloud.net/papers/ITtools.pdf


Peer economy is a concept for an economic system
that is based on the simple premise that goods are always exchanged between individuals, or peers, in a process known as peer production [17]. It contrasts to the
dominant globalized economy in the sense that in this
case there is negligible connection between the production/distribution chain of goods and services and the social cycle of the individuals who consumes/uses them

What Entrepreneurs Can Learn from Borders' Demise

What Entrepreneurs Can Learn from Borders' Demise: "I thought: what a big, luxurious-feeling bookstore…with a coffeehouse inside, too. By 2010, the company had more than 250 stores in the U.S., about 10,000 employees worldwide and sales had mushroomed to $2.3 billion.

Independent bookstores feared the mega-bookstore chain. Wags said it was the beginning of the end of the independent bookstore. And Hollywood even made a movie out of it: Remember Meg Ryan's Shop Around the Corner in the 1998 film You've Got Mail?

My how the mighty have fallen."

TheWritersCafe.org » 2009 » February

TheWritersCafe.org » 2009 » February: "Now lets turn our attention to the old money or fat cats of the economy. These guys can not even imagine investing say 10-20 thousand for anything less then 10%. It is their greed which has fueled the sub prime mortgage crisis. You see the prime landing rate came down in recent years to say between 3-5%, however greedy investors sneeze at that kind of ROI (Return On Investment) so they invented a new kind of “hard money” real estate loan and called it sub prime mortgages."

William M. Briggs, Statistician

William M. Briggs, Statistician: "What Obama is looking for is different than a pollster. These are folks who are used to test language that is most harmonious to certain voting segments. The Democrats are currently using the phrase “balanced approach” as a euphemism for “raise taxes” in the budget debate because some pollster found that this phrase was better than others. We don’t know what these other phrases are presumably because they tested badly."

Website Popularity, Traffic Rank and the Long Term Tool

Website Popularity, Traffic Rank and the Long Term Tool: "The closer you get to a #1 alexa ranking, the more probable your SERP placings will concur. Website popularity is power too.

The SEO can target either, his Web Traffic Rank or his Site's SERP placement and both will rise regardless of any neglect shown to the other. So Website popularity is intrinsically linked with the search engines but for now we direct our immediate focus on alexa's raw Traffic Rank."

Low Carb Compatible™ | Living the low carbohydrate way™: "ating less salt will not prevent heart attacks, strokes or early death, according to a major study.
Its findings contradict all recommendations by the Government and medical profession urging the public to reduce the amount of salt they consume.

David Suzuki: Natural Gas Is Not a Solution for Climate Change

David Suzuki: Natural Gas Is Not a Solution for Climate Change: "Burning coal and oil causes pollution and emits greenhouse gases that drive climate change. Exploring and drilling for oil and mining coal also come with numerous environmental impacts -- especially as easily accessible oil runs out and we have to rely on deep-water drilling and oil sands. Natural gas burns cleaner than oil and coal, and it emits less carbon dioxide for the amount of energy it produces. This has led industry and governments to argue for an increase in natural gas production."

Monetize your site with Digital Point Ads

Monetize your site with Digital Point Ads: "Allow Advertisers To Target Their Specific Audience
Advertisers can choose to show their ads based on the geographical location of the user viewing the ad automatically via geotargeting technology. Ads can also be targeted to display only in certain areas of your site (for example maybe you have a forum and an advertiser is just interested in displaying ads in certain sub-forums).
Payments
Advertisers pay the publishers (site owners) DIRECTLY via PayPal. Payments do not go through us or anyone else.
How Much Can I Expect To Make?
Ads are sold on a bidding system, so how much you make is largely dependent on how much traffic your site has, the quality of your site (higher quality sites will get more advertisers bidding on the ad space), etc."

Does Paying Top Dollar For Domains Still Make Sense In The Age Of Apps? | its.us!

Does Paying Top Dollar For Domains Still Make Sense In The Age Of Apps? | its.us!: "Wilson advises companies to spend up to $50,000 for the right domain, a price that has dramatically risen in the past year, he says.
But at what point does the price outweigh a domain’s benefits? Color, Bill Nguyen’s mobile photo-sharing app, infamously purchased Color.com for $350,000, and Nguyen also purchased the UK-friendly Colour.com. Yet each of these sites is nothing more than a landing with links to the app store and a video demo."

Build Your Own WordPress Themes the Easy Way » SitePoint

Build Your Own WordPress Themes the Easy Way » SitePoint: "Fortunately, WordPress’s parent and child theme feature is a fast and easy way to start using themes. Simply grab a parent theme framework that suits your needs, add a child theme with your own CSS and tweaks, and you’ll be on your way to theme domination.

How Themes Work

If you’re unfamiliar with the way WordPress themes work, here’s a quick primer: in general, themes are made up of a collection of PHP templates, style sheets, images, and JavaScript files. They’re all bundled together in one directory, and uploaded to the WordPress themes directory, which is in wp-content/themes. An administrator selects the theme from the site dashboard."

Move an Existing Blog into WordPress Multi-Site

Move an Existing Blog into WordPress Multi-Site: "Copy Database Table Method

This was the method that I used because it was more efficient for me.

Instead of using the export/import functionality, you can also go into your server and copy all the relevant data from your old blog database tables into your new blog tables.

Here is how to do it in phpMyAdmin -

Log into phpMyAdmin.
Click on the database you want to copy (left side of screen). This is the database used for your old blog.
Click on the table you want to copy (left side of screen).
Click on the Operations tab at the top. On the right side of the screen, below the Move table to interface, there will be a Copy table to interface (example shown below). Before you copy the data over, you may first want to clear the destination table on your new blog."

iframes in posts and pages are lost.
Post and term metadata are lost.
Links to media files in posts and pages point to old links (i.e. they point to wp-content/uploads and not blogs.dir/5/files.'"

You can easily find keywords, their variations and search volume (here or elsewhere, though here its free + we don't try to sell you anything, so we can be completely honest!) but remember that keyword worths nothing without (quality) content behind, and quality content is far from keyword stuffed one!"

An Embedded Document From Google?

Why I left Google. What happened to my book. What I work on at Facebook. – Are you thinking inside out?

Why I left Google. What happened to my book. What I work on at Facebook. – Are you thinking inside out?: "Why I left Google
- What happened to my book ‘Social Circles’
- What I’m working on at Facebook
I never intended to write publicly about why I left Google, but it seems necessary to give people some facts that they can refer to, and not have people speculating and making stuff up."

Editors Note: Noticing this fellows, title, I know longer need to worry about being so self referential, It should be fairly obvious to most of my readers by now all 26 of them that this is going to be my new style from here on in. I used to typically blog in this fashion, of course utilizing the very handle blog this button, yet there was a time I was doing more of my own titles and cutting and pasting, with back-links and attribution of course.

If you saw this text on a webpage, how would you figure out what it means?

Если вы читаете этот текст, вы, вероятно, уже говорите по-русски. Однако миллионы людей не знают русского и не могут прочитать миллионы русскоязычных веб-страниц.*

HTML Images





Tip: It is a good practice to specify both the height and width attributes for an image. If these attributes are set, the space required for the image is reserved when the page is loaded. However, without these attributes, the browser does not know the size of the image."

Editors Note: My intentions were good however I guess the original referenced image had to be taken down. I was promoting and learning a little at the same time, I often do that.

PHP: Your first PHP-enabled page - Manual: "PHP to create a page like this. All it does is display: Hello World using the PHP echo() statement. Note that the file does not need to be executable or special in any way. The server finds out that this file needs to be interpreted by PHP because you used the '.php' extension, which the server is configured to pass on to PHP. Think of this as a normal HTML file which happens to have a set of special tags available to you that do a lot of interesting things."

Regarding Images from the Web - Blogger Help: "Add an Image from the Web' using the image upload feature in Blogger, you shouldn't use an image location that is hosted at someone else's expense without their permission.





Sometimes this is referred to as 'stealing bandwidth' because every time your blog loads, the image is loaded from their server, and this person likely incurs an expense.

Copyrighted Materials

Before you put an image in your blog, keep in mind that some images are protected as intellectual property through copyright."

The Story Behind Today Clouds.

Todays Clouds started as an idea one day when I happened to have my camera around with me and saw the simple beauty of the clouds. At the stime someone was helping me set up my 1st WordPress website, and he was helping me transfer over the domain that I believe was being used at the time to link to a Tripod.Lycos website.

TheWritersCafe.Tripod.com/ {Before I knew about WordPress|

Thats all for now, I needed to post just a little something as a show of thanks to people who have surfed into my website. If you going to get started in the blogging world, I would plainly state that you do not have to a great writer, but having writing skills is extremely helpful.

                                   This place used to be hopping and now it is merely 
                                   a place that, well its there. Can you guess? Free link
                                            to your blog from an Alex rated web-site, if correct.



Plenty of people will tell you all sorts of things, but you should like something and have some that you do want to share on the Word Wide Web.

Be, casual, people will share you your beautiful works of your heart, mind and soul, but thats a good think, because bloggers will use proper etiquette and provide a link back to your site as compensation for your valuable images and words.

Link Building Strategies - Sugarrae

Link Building Strategies - Sugarrae: "link building strategy?

My link building strategies cover everything from basic low hanging fruit to vertical link building to horizontal link building to strategies for link building through social media and much more. I basically look at your site, pretend it’s mine and say to myself “if I had no limitations, what is every possible link building method and/or idea that I can possibly come up with for this website?”

I also look at what your competition is doing to ensure you’re not missing any opportunities they’ve already put into action as well as identify opportunities they’re currently not utilizing to keep you one step ahead."

Gee, I sure remember specifically coming with a great concept for a Photo Sharing Plan, an I was talking with a technical Java programmer to do it. Now this was about two years back when maybe two photo sharing companies dominated the market with Free Services.

IP Daily.Biz: Winning Spirits Can Never Truly Be Extinguished.

No the picture is not of Jacob Preuss, rather it is of Lance Armstrong, at the Arc de Triomphe. May Yakov (Jacob) Preuss take his place in that spiritual Arc de Triomphe amongst the other champions with home his spirit belongs."



Yet cycling was what this man did to stay in shape, in truth he very quick and sharp mind. The thing is he was not living his life in some sort of delay mode, he was doing what he was passionate about right now.

The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized during the lifetime of the opportunity.

That was a part of what Yakov or Jacob as many of his friend in Passaic NJ, knew him by, was kind of about that. He had his plans and goals which he freely shared, and also a very kind smile, and quick wit.

People who know me well may see me as being somewhat enigmatic. I have these grand plans on some world-wide scale, yet sometimes truly drop the ball, upon doing the actual things that  would be necessary to bring my dreams and visions into the "right now" kind of moment.


 I suppose between how I viewed Jacob (we were fairly close as acquaintances and I got to know him better over a passover meal as well as a Shabbos meal) and the way Rabbi Eisenman (Ahavas Israel, Passaic NJ) delivered his Eulogy yesterday, has given me an abundance of things to contemplate.




AhavasIsrael.org/The Shul of Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman, Passaic NJ


There are many of us, myself included, who sometimes kind of go through the motions, or perhaps feel as if they are sitting on the sidelines, watching the time of our lives slowly slipping by. Then there are others, far fewer in numbers I suppose, Like Jacob (Yaakov) Preuss, who are actually doing something, putting in the required effort at least to try, to start to begin the act, to make the "new thing" happen.


Yet, we often come to find out that G-d may indeed have other plans for us. Perhaps Yaakov's special abilities were truly needed for some important task in the next world. 


Perhaps Jacob Preuss had completed his specific task ahead time, potentially inspiring an entire generation of Baby Boomers who need a wake up call, to show them that time is a precious commodity that is slipping quietly by every single second of the day.


The time to do what we have come into this world is truly upon us now. So many events that seem to be rapidly unfolding right before our very eyes should be providing enough clear signals for us all to see. These are very special times we live in, we have our role to play in this "Brave New World"-A Huxley.






Of course if we choose to, we can always simply pull our shades and simply ignore try to ignore the reality of how things are truly different today, then they have ever been before. 


I rewrote this piece from a previous article that I had written with one specific person in mind to share with. I had hoped to make this article more of a summary, just hitting the highlights. 


Yet that is not my thing. I think and ponder over things deeply, and some amount of words are needed to convey my message. Those who need the little sound bites, and snippets of pre-digested thoughts can look elsewhere. Indeed in my WordPress websites I use the < more > tag frequently, knowing very few will read below the fold.


Yet, that is precisely the problem of today.

Todays Cloud is here to tell you the old paradigms of yesteryear no longer apply. We need to engage our individual intellect in think, and yes think and act, on and for our own behalf. No one other than yourself can possibly really and truthfully figure out what is the best course of action. 




Sure its fine to consult with others and yes seek out their opinions.   
However they can not live your life for you. They can not think with your set of values, upbringing, life experience. The experts will always be there to tell us what to think, what to believe in, and whats right and whats wrong. They may be often be right or sometimes wrong. Yet it is up to us, to use what we can, what applies to us, and discard what is not for us, not for who we are and what we believe in. 


When you do your best, and follow the signals of your heart, and the wisdom of your mind, then you will not need to worry that you will simply be spinning your wheels and getting nowhere.


Yes, my friend Jacob Preuss was taken away from us, sooner then maybe we feel was his time. Yet Yaakov- Jacob Preuss had that great moment, that same moment we all have right now. There is so much that can be done with the the things we are blessed with. The best that we can do is to constantly strive, even though sometimes its an uphill or steep grade, we need to push ourselves to accomplish what we came into this world to do.


We have to be ready at a moments notice to accept that subtle shift which seems to be quietly slipping into this world. That paradigm-shift which may no longer seek to constantly discourage the dreamers, innovators, inventors, and creators of our new and improved "Brave New World".
