The new service code name is Fremont, but it's final name is suppose to be TBA. It allows you to buy, sell or swap things with friends, family and the public. Microsoft also plans to index each item and add it to the search results of their search engine, MSN. If you ask me it's just another way for spammers to mess with their search results, but can their search engine get any worse than it is

Google and Comcast partnered together trying to buy a minority stake in Time Warner's America Online. AOL, who is under major pressure, has previously been talking to Microsoft over a possible combination of AOL with the MSN online service. This would be a major blow to Google because AOL uses both Google ads and search results on their search engine. AOL receives 8% of internet searches.Later

Yahoo launched an audio search, which is still being testing. Results don't look to bad right now, but still needs a little more work done on it, but you can't say much because they are still testing out the search results. Yahoo bought out Konfabulator software. Yahoo plans on giving Konfabulator software away for free. They were charging 20 dollars for the software.Yahoo also is launching an ad

Well, I got back a few days ago, I would have posted sooner, but had a lot of work that had to be done and didn't get back when I expected to. We decided to stay a little longer. The UK was cool, but I like it here in USA much better! Really I didn't think it was fun as it could have been, but my girl keep on saying "Let's go shop", is there a girl in the world that don't shopping?MSN search

Eval.google.com (Which stands for Passive Evaluation.) is a testing lab for Google search engine. The testing lab collects feedback and quality ratings from human editors, which are then passed onto Google engineers. The editors cannot directly fine tune, tweak, filter, or otherwise modify the search results and is supposed to still be in testing period. This could be testing for TrustRank that

My little brother came back home from serving in the Army in Iraq yesterday. We didn't know he was coming home, but he wanted to surprise us all, so he didn't tell us. I glad to see him, he's got big and looks like he's in good shape, he no longer the tiny brother I use to know. It was probably the best thing that's happen to him, although I wish he wouldn't had to see some of the things in

Early today Google's cached page was down, anytime you went to look at a web site's cached it would not appear and showed a 500 server error . You will now be able to see the cached because it seems to have been fixed. This also happened a couple months ago. The Page Rank has also been down for a while, but still isn't up. So for any webmaster out there freaking out over this can now relax

Me and my friend, which he graduate in computer science, have been working with a few different artificial Life robots. Our goal is to make them act more like a human when talking and moving. I thought you may be interested in messing with it and see for your self how far they have come and how real they can be and not to forget, they may become part of all of our lifes on a daily basis some day.

The England based news company BBC will now allow web developers, webmasters and designers outside of the BBC company access to it's content so that they can add it to their own web site or program. The BBC has a large amount of articles, news, etc, which will be nice for any webmaster that has a type of web site that can use it.Speaking of England, me, my girlfriend and friends are going to

I have fishished my degree in PERL and feels great! :) It didn't take so long because when I was going to collage before, I fishished most of what was needed to get my degree in PERL and I already knew most of PERL programming. It will help if I ever decide to work at a programming job place again, which is what I was doing before I left and started as a full time webmaster.Google announced that

Google Trade Marked a new ranking factor called Trust Rank, which may start to be used in the algorithm. If you like to read all about it please visit TrustRank Algorithm. It's some what like Google Page Rank, but isn't fully automated. Instead it will use human editors to decide which web site ranks the highest in the new factor.

Well, I have quit my job and decided to go full time as a webmaster. Google Adsense is bringing enough money to get by each month, in fact, my web site matched the income I had made from my job a few months ago and now, I am making about 300 more dollars than that. I know Adsense is not a guaranteed income and it could drop at any day, but I saved some of the money that I made from it and would

Well, I got a car, it's a 2005 Acura TL. I have been wanting Surround Sound and XM Satellite Radio in my car for a while now, the Acura TL has all those features. I got a good deal (At least I think I did.) on the car, I only had to pay 28,000 dollars.I decided to give Google Adsense a try and the results were not to bad. I've only been in AdSense for about six days. Since I already had a good

I am now 24 years old and I had to work on that day. What a life I have. After having a few interviews with a six bosses, I picked one. I can't name it because I don't want to get fired, but they are a big company and are showing that by pay me big money. I won't be close to home as I use to be at my old job, but the money is good. I also will have more time for building my web sites.By the way,

Our great president stood up for our great country against those jerks in Germany, France and Russia by deciding to go to war with or without them. And I just don't understand why all these people hate him. After 9/11/01 everyone wanted him to do something about the terrorist and he does and guess what? People get mad over it and say we should have waited and that it was the wrong thing to do.But

My friend James decided to end his life and get married. :) No, really, it was great. We had a party the night before he got married and there was free beer, dancers and food. I haven't had so many boobs in my face since I was 19 years old. By the way, that's betwaen me and you, don't tell my girlfriend. :)The wedding was packed, both my friend and his wife have large familys. That part sucked

After the last project we had a new one. What a nice boss, huh? The day started off nicely though, most of my team was doing their job and I had no other work to do for change. So I decided to put some more work into the project, after about an hour I asked Kerry to give me her report that we needed for the project and guess what. She messed up on it. So after thinking I was going to have a nice

So the day ended with work going bad. I am starting to feel the stress of the project that is due four days. My group that should be doing their part, are not and leaving me to pick it up and do it myself because if I don't it will be my butt and not theirs.

Met with Joey, decided we needed to workout at the local gym and I'm not too excited about it. I haven't workout in about five years, I use to workout every day, but with my job and school I couldn't do it anymore. We went swimming and hit the bench press. After Bench pressing I seemed to still have and lifted 280 pound 50 straight times. Not to bad, huh?After working out for the pass few days I

Well, I guess the the forecasters were wrong again, it was way to hot outside at the game, but I still played. We beat the girls 13 to nothing, they actually quit before the game was suppose to be over, but that was OK because it was hot as hell out there. My team beat Jakes team in the 9TH inning with a two run homer by Max. The final Score was 7 to 5.Googlebot has been spidering my web site

Thank God! We are going to have great weather, The forecasters say there will be no rain and that it won't be real hot, but not real cold. And it's what I needed because we will be having a baseball for our job. First game men Vs women and the next one is my department Vs Jake's department. I can't wait to crush the girls and Jake's team.By the way, I am sorry for not posting for a while, but was

After I had trouble with Kanoodle, I thought I should give one other small PPC (Pay Per Click) a try. The PPC is called Mamma and their one of the smaller ones. They don't get half the traffic that Google or Overture get, but all I care about is getting new customers. Anyway I tried it out and the results were better than Kanoodle, but not to much better though.After sending me over 5,000 hits,

Me and my friends decided to eat at a local Mexican restaurant and the food was terrible. The food was cold, so I asked them for a new meal and the new meal was even worse. This time it was not cold, but taste bad, so I thought it was just me, so I asked my Girlfriend to taste it and she said the same thing. So I asked them could I have my money back and they said no. So I asked for the

I'm am leaving for California tomorrow, so I figured I better pack up my stuff tonight instead of rushing around like a retard tomorrow. I always seem to forget to pack something that I need, such as my Cellphone, boxers, etc. Anyway, I am going to California because I have to meet with some of our companies big bosses. We are trying to decide how to promote our new product that will come out in

Today I thought it would be great because I had the day off, but I had nothing to do today. I know this sounds crazy, but I actually wanted to go to work today. I decided to try to rent a game at Blockbuster, but of course they have nothing, just as it is all the time there. So I decided to try plan B and call a few friends to see if they wanted to do anything. They all said the same thing, "I am

Tommorow I got to move my web site from one to a other server and because of the nature of the site how large it is and It needs to all switch at once, it's going to be a pain in my butt. First I got to make sure I back-up all my web pages, scripts and other files. And of course make sure everything is in working order or risk the site going down, which would hurt sales.After that, I have to

Like I said before this is really new to me and I have no idea where I am taking this blog, but try to hang in here with me. :) As you can see, the blog has been inactive for a while, it's because I have writer's block. For all you people out there that don't know what that is it's where someone that writes articles news or in my case a blog can't think of a single thing to write about.Also I

I guess after all that hard work and overtime really paid off. My boss called me in to day and told be he was promoting me to head of our department. I won't just be head of three teams as I am now, but ten and each group has 15 people. I will be in charge of hiring new people in our department and deciding who works where. So it's going to be hard to get use to at first, but I can get thorough

After visiting about 100 (At least it seemed like that!) dog salers, I finaly found the right dog for us. It's a Beagle and he's about three months old. We decided to name him Mikely, I came up with the name because I use to have a dog just like him that was named Mikely. He's perfect for me and my familybecause we already have one dog, which is a Beagle and Beagle are great with people.So far he

Many webmasters think that by getting links to their site and on-page SEO is all they need to get to the top of the search engines, but they are wrong. Why? It takes Content to make a real great web site. I mean think about it, how many times do you revisit a site over and over that never updates or have has no content? Likely none or few.So I have decided to create a web site with around 1000

It's my birthday! I am turning big 23. Now I feel like I am getting old. I got to see my Mom and Dad, which was great because I have not seen them in six months. After that it was off with my friends and we went out and partied all night. And yes I got drunk and let me tell you that was great.

After the big Google update one of my web sites were hit and now is no where in the search results. My first site that was hit use to get around 5,000 hits a day from Google alone and now gets none at all. So, after looking for answers and reviewing my web site for about five days, guess what happen? My web site is back up there and now gets over 10,000 hits from Google a day. I thought for sure

Well I am new to the blogging world, so take it easy on me. Before I start you likely would like to get to know me little more. Right? My name is Steven, I have been creating web sites since 1999. It's more of a hobby, but it does make me money and get me by.
