How Wikipedia Lost its Credibility
2008-04-02 21:47:00
There have been disturbing reports on how Wikipedia has become a mismanaged foundation, a fact that has hurt the Wikipedia's credibility. Jimmy Wales, the Wikipedia founder, has been embroiled with a relationship issue, or let's say, an alleged affair with Rachel Marsden. Ms Marsden has decided to auction in Ebay Jimmy Wales' shirt, which was left by Wales at her apartment after the Wikipedia founder allegedly stayed with her overnight. Will you buy Jimmy Wales clothes? Are people still willing to donate to Wikipedia? Many have abandoned plans to give their money to Wikipedia. The most devastating setback at the Wikipedia office was when Danny Wool, a Wikipedia executive, quit the foundation. Commenting on Wool's departure from Wikipedia, Wikinews writes: On Tuesday, ABC News carried a story by Wired News reporter Megan McCarthy regarding allegations of "excessive spending" by Wales, and The Associated Press also reported on questions involving Wikimedia F...

Millions of Americans Without Internet Connection
2008-04-02 17:06:00
It is really unnerving to learn that there are still millions of Americans who live without Internet connection. We view of America as the world's super power, yet the nation is still far from connecting its citizens to the rest of the world. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal: About 36% of rural Americans don't have Internet connections. The problem is that it's expensive to string cable or build cellphone towers in areas with so few customers.The bigger the country the harder it is to distribute resources. Countries such as Singapore and Switzerland with population of less than 7 million each have been able to wired their citizens to the world wide web. If a government or private firm can set up a wireless network that will empower every inhabitant of that country to connect to the Internet, that will really change the world. People would be able to communicate faster and clearer when every country is blanketed with a wireless Internet connection. If mai...

Blogger's Blogspot Internal Error (bX-uxu3fu) Not Yet Fixed?
2008-04-02 16:23:00
While making modification of this webhosting blog, I got an internal error coded as bX-uxu3fu. If you got this blogspot error, it means you can't proceed to saving your work or post. This is indeed annoying. Whenever this thing happens, I just switch working in my other blogsites - for instance, www.webhostingreality.com, a sister blog of this blogsite. Should I call it a brother blog? Here's what the blogger team said of the Internal Error bX-uxu3fu:...we deployed an update to Blogger including new features and bug fixes. Immediately after the update, we discovered that one of the bug fixes had introduced a new bug which blocked people from viewing a small number of blogs with certain highly-customized Layouts templates. We immediately began to deploy a fix, but viewers of the affected blogs may have seen an internal error (bX-uxu3fu) for a period of a few hours during the redeployment. We make every effort to test changes prior to deployment. Testing against every possibl...

Make Money By Predicting the Future
2008-04-02 14:39:00
There is no other company in the world as innovative and as creative as Google Inc. If you work with Google, yes, you can make money, lots of money, by just predicting the future. Fond of forecasting events? You can use your visionary mind at Google. Here's how it works. In an article in the New York Times, Noam Cohen writes:"At Google, employees are encouraged to go online and place bets on a prediction market, an exchange that tries to forecast events based on the money wagered on a particular outcome. Prediction markets have been used for years to predict things like elections. At Google, they are used, of course, for business. In the last two and a half years, 1,463 employees have made wagers with play money (named Goobles)..." Wow. The NYTimes added that a prediction expert employee can bring home a whooping $10,000 every quarter. That's a lot of money for any ordinary worker who has to work many months to earn such figure. What are the questions that are like...

A Shift in the Web Hosting Industry
2008-04-02 06:58:00
I was reading a statistical report which revealed that in the U.S. alone there are more than 27,000 web hosting companies. The report also says that most Internet users in the world come from the U.S., not from China or Europe. There is no wonder that most companies target their the American market for their online business strategy since the bulk of what is going on in the Internet is powered by America. This fact comes not as a really big surprise. After all, America is still the super power for now. The dominance of America in the Internet has also resulted to the booming web hosting business. Web Hosting companies are part of the growth of American presence in the world wide web. On the other hand, I look at Asia and Europe as the next big thing in the Internet. Once people are capable of buying PCs and laptops and can subscribe to an affordable broadband Internet, the trend may shift. Remember that China alone has 1.3 billion people and India has surpassed the 1 billion mark. ...

How Google's Gmail Email Can Save Your Brain
2008-04-01 12:55:00
I removed the battery of my laptop because having it installed would freeze my keyboard. I've never heard of such problem, and it's real for me since I am experiencing it. Now everywhere I go I carry with me a laptop without battery. When I write a blog post or tinker one of my platoons of websites, hosted both in free and paid hosts, I always hope that electricity won't stop breathing in the wire. Most of the times I write my post via email. There is an option in Wordpress in which you send your article to your web site through email. Also, in blogspot, you can do the same thing. I find this method of blog posting time-saving, plus it helps me save my articles in the best place in the Internet, "the sent mail folder of Gmail ." While writing a blog post, not this one, the electricity in the building where I sought shelter, went off. My laptop succumbed to sudden death. I exclaimed. I was about to finish that blog post. I was so frustrated, but seconds later, I ...

Fitna The Movie Seen in YouTube Video Site
2008-04-01 11:16:00
It seems that YouTube has braved the troubled waters surrounding Fitna the Movie , a documentary film on Islam. When I first checked YouTube it said it has removed Fitna film because it violated its policy. But the tide has turned different. Right after LiveLeak, the last video hosting site standing for Fitna but later pulled out from the issue, YouTube, owned by Google, allowed Fitna the Movie. YouTube is crucial in this issue. Based on Alexa Ranking, YouTube ranks number one as the most-visited website in the world beating even Google and Yahoo in terms of traffic. I see that there would be more debates over Fitna as YouTube has made the documentary film available online. But even without YouTube, people always have means to share files and documents in the Internet. Proof to that, Fitna the Movie is now proliferating in torrent web sites. Google Video , a YouTube-like site, is also hosting Fitna the Movie. Leaders in Europe have expressed disappointment over the documentary film...

Guide To Web Hosting: Webhost Stability Issue
2008-04-01 07:31:00
One of the biggest concerns in finding a web hosting company or transferring to a new webhost provider is the stability of the webhost service. Stability serves as your assurance that your website will always be online. There is no such thing as 100 % uptime that can be offered by a webhosting provider. Even Google at times is offline or inaccessible in less than a minute. Most webhosts claim 99% uptime. They know that to promise a 100 % uptime is simply not possible to fulfill. In a world where technical bumps are always part of life, webhost stability, however, should always be guaranteed. There are many web hosting companies that I can name as really stable. They have been existing in the webhosting industry for more than five years or even ten years. Many of the clients of these webhosting companies have attested to their guaranteed stability. To name a few, out of many, are Lunarpages, Hostgator, HostiCan, Site5, ThinkHost, BlueHost, Hostmonster, AnHosting , DreamHost, iPower, ...

Is Friendster Web Site Spammy?
2008-03-31 20:02:00
How often do you receive emails from Friendster ? I have friends who have been forced to create new email intended to receive Friendster emails alone. Is Friendster somewhat spammy? Spammy is a term used to describe a website that sends floods of emails to your inbox. Friendster is not really spammy. The problem with the site's members is that they don't bother to explore the Friendster settings. In the settings, there are options where a Friendster member can opt not to receive any update from Friendster friends. But the default setup is that you would receive emails from Friendster. If you don't turn the update off, you could receive hundreds of emails from Friendster in one day alone. Friendster email updates come in various faces. Whenever a friend updates his or her blog, uploads new picture, updates his or her profile, or whatever any of your Friendster's friend is doing, Friendster automatically notifies you via email. It can be very annoying if the update com...

Google Video Hosts Fitna the Movie Documentary Film
2008-03-31 19:42:00
At first I thought Google won't host Fitna the Movie , a controversial documentary film produced by Geert Wilder of the Netherlands, since YouTube, which is owned by Google, had earlier removed Fitna film from its site. YouTube had explained that the Fitna video had violated its policy. Last week it was only LiveLeak who dared to host Fitna the Movie, but later, LiveLeak was not able to stand the heat of the kitchen. I have been following the latest news on this issue. It must be from TechCrunch where I learned that Google Video site, a sister of YouTube, is already hosting Fitna. There were a lot of debates I read in blogs and forums on Google's decision to host Fitna the Movie. Let's see what would be the next commotion. I hope the issue would be resolved soon with both sides approaching this matter with peaceful mind. On the other hand, I heard that torrent sites are already making Fitna the Movie video file available for peer-to-peer sharing. Going back to LiveLeak, i...

How To Start A Forum Website: A Walk-through Guide
2008-03-30 08:17:00
So you wanna start a forum website? That's a good decision. But you don't know how. Here's a clear guide on how to start a forum website. It's actually intended for those who are confused with PHP and MySQL, two essential elements in a dynamic forum website. Worry no more. You won't need much of PHP and MySQL skills in starting a forum website. You can study them later, though, for your personal benefit. So how to start a forum website? 1. Avoid the temptation of getting a free webhost. Forum website demands lots of webhost resources. As your forum site grows, a free webhost cannot support more users and data and your site will likely be inaccessible. Many forum owners have shed tears, after so much work, when their sites are deleted from free hosts. How much it cost to have your own webhost? It ranges from $4 to $7 a month. Example: Lunarpages ($6.95/monthly), Hostgator ($4.95/monthly, you can upgrade later), HostiCan ($6.95/month), and ThinkHost ($7.95/month). ...

Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg vs Sarah Lacy
2008-03-29 12:56:00
During the SXSW event, Sarah Lacy was interviewing Mark Zuckerberg, the 23-year-old billionaire and founder of Facebook social networking website. The interview turned out to be controversial. Watching the video, you'd hear the audience sounding disgust against Sarah Lacy. It appeared that a popularity contest with the title "Facebook Founder vs Sarah Lacy" has Mark Zuckerberg emerging as the audience's favorite. What made people sad about Sarah Lacy? Sarah, first and foremost, was not interested on interviewing Mark Zuckerberg. She was fidgety while Mark was talking. She slouched on the chair and she made many unattractive gestures signalling her dispassion about the whole thing. The difference is that Mark was so passionate about the things that he was talking about while Sarah Lacy seemed to be not interested at all about techie matters. What can we learn from Sarah Lacy's interview style? 1. Focus on the person with whom you are interviewing. 2. Be interest...

LiveLeak Gives Up Fitna the Movie Film Documentary
2008-03-29 12:02:00
We've heard this line before: "If you can't stand up the heat, get out of the kitchen." Well, LiveLeak.Com has just given up hosting Fitna the Movie video, produced by Geert Wilder of the Netherlands. Earlier, LiveLeak defended its decision to host Fitna the Movie, saying it was respecting people's freedom of speech. The last time I watched the Fitna film, there already were nearly 3 million page views and nearly 600 comments generated by LiveLeak members. Reading the comments of both sides of the issue, you could see how deep and passionate one could say about the movie, Islam, and about Wilders himself. Below is the official statement of LiveLeak posted in its homepage: Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers. This is a sad day f...

Geert Wilders' film "Fitna" took another setback after Fitna's website host shuts down the film's online portal. Network Solutions said the Fitna site could have violated the terms of use outlined by the web host company. Here's an excerpt of Network Solutions' statement published on LiveLeak website: "In this situation with the dialogue that's happening throughout the world we've made the choice to suspend the site as of last night," said Susan Wade, spokeswoman for Network Solutions. "This site is suspended so people can't see the content right now but the customer still has access to their site. They can make whatever changes are necessary as we complete our investigation."The LiveLeak report added that "Network Solutions' terms of service contain a sweeping prohibition against 'objectionable material of any kind or nature.'"
