Google Social Search Goes Beta
Tuesday, 02 February 2010 07:46

On January 27th, Google released another feature called "Social Search" which allows you to plugin your social networks and get reviews from friends and contacts. You have to be logged into your Google account to use this feature and have your social networks set up under your Google profile.

The feature works by searching on a search term, say "France" and results come combined with public updates from your social networks.

Google will have a hard time using Facebook status updates due to the privacy restrictions as much of Facebook requires a user to login to most content.

Donate to Your Local Food Pantry
Sunday, 08 November 2009 22:31

donate to your local food pantryAs we come upon the holiday seasons, more and more local food pantries are faced with a supply shortage and an increased need for food to help needy families. Here in Eldon, Missouri there are dozens of drives for our food pantries but the epidemic is nationwide mainly due to the economy.

You can find your local pantries by going to an online yellow pages (such as SuperPages.com) and typing in "food pantry" with your city, state. Strangely enough when looking up local listings in Tampa, Florida, I saw a "Pet Pantry". So let's not forget the animals, too.

Paypal Virtual Terminal
Wednesday, 14 October 2009 10:10

I just noticed Paypal has a Virtual Terminal service for phone, fax and mail orders. I am not sure how long they've had this in place but it's a nice alternative than going through the expense of a merchant account anywhere else. The Paypal Virtual Terminal is for business accounts only.

Saturday, 19 September 2009 14:13

The domain chosen as the demo site for the next development product for domainers is:

I chose this name because it reflected a general category without being too niche and it was the closest name to what I was looking for. Thank you all for the submissions. There were many great names to chose from.

NEXT CONTEST: I have coordinated with Arbel Arif to bring you another development contest. This one will include a domain name in addition to development. He has a few interesting ideas in place that I'm sure you will all like. Details coming soon.

 
My New Product Means FREE Domain Development for Someone!
Tuesday, 15 September 2009 02:41

How does FREE custom domain development sound? I am getting ready to script my next development product for domainers. I thought it would be a great promo to script this product on a domain that one of you have!

In addition, I would like this to go to an individual who perhaps could use development help but cannot afford to due to general or financial struggles. However, anyone is welcome to submit their domains.

In particular, I am looking for the following type of general (non-niche) domains:

EXAMPLES

 

Profession or Service:

Professionals.im

Entrepreneur.com

etc.

 

Celebrity:

CelebrityTalk.net

CelebrityNews.info

etc.

 

Sports:

SportsTalk.org

DiscussSports.com

etc.

 

Extensions: com, net, org, info, im

 

Please leave your domain candidate(s) in the comments below. Unfortunately, I have to be a little vague with what exactly I am looking for as to not give away the new product. But when I see the ideal candidate, a winner will be chosen.

 

Thanks and good luck to all.

 

Tia Wood
