When I went to Google today it looked different.   It had a different logo/banner instead of actual logo of Google.  Then when I put my mouse over the image/logo it read “Samuel Morse’s Birthday” with a link to Samuel Morse.   Samuel Morse born in 1791 was the American creator of a single wire telegraph system and Morse Code.”

I knew something was not right when she was appearing on the stage. It felt like a set up. I am sure the producers knew her ability to sing as well.
She told the judges that she had never kissed anyone in her life. That was a lie. She has appeared in numerous talent shows in the past where she used to use the same line. She told a reporter in UK “That was made as a joke! Never been kissed? I’ve never stopped.”

Blogs around the world also didn’t stop getting on her.

“Adsense Video Units to be retired.” That was the subject of my email I received from adsense yesterday. So yes it is finally going away. I had also tried adsense video units but was not satisfied with the result.
Below is the body of the email..

“We’re writing to let you know that we’ll be retiring AdSense video units at the end of April. After reviewing this feature, we’ve found that it hasn’t been performing as well as we had hoped, so we’ve decided to focus our efforts on other opportunities to help publishers monetize their sites.

We recommend that you begin removing the video unit code from your pages as soon as possible, to ensure that you can take advantage of the available ad space on your pages. At the end of April, any remaining Leaderboard or Skyscraper video units will begin directing users to YouTube.com, while other video unit sizes will automatically be changed to standard embedded YouTube players. These standard video players will display top YouTube videos, but you won’t generate earnings from them once this change occurs.

If you’d still like to display free video content from YouTube, you can do so through YouTube.com directly: visit any specific video page for the embed code, or sign in to your YouTube account to create a playlist. For more information about embedding YouTube videos, please visit http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=57788. Alternatively, if you have less than three ad units on your page, you may prefer to replace your video unit with a regular ad unit.

Although video units are being retired, other video offerings within AdSense aren’t affected. Video ads may still appear on your pages and AdSense for video is still available for eligible publishers. If you’d like more information about the retiring of video units, please visit our Help Center at https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=12182.

Thanks for your support of video units in the past, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team ”

I am sure you get frustrated in sorting out emails every day because of useless emails that you get. Other word for that is SPAM. Splog is a fake blog and its also called as Spam Blog. I have gone into details about Splogs in my video. Please watch the video and tell me what you think of that.
Thanks.

What are you doing? That’s the title of a popular site “Twitter.” “Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? ” Its like a micro-blogging service where anyone with an account can send their updates under 140 characters. Lately Twitter has been all over the news.
Even celebrities use Twitter and as a matter of fact Ashton Kutcher became the first member of Twitter to have more than 1 million followers. He beat CNN. CNN congratulated him for that. He is even going to donate 10,000 mosquito nets which was his pledge.

Everyone is talking about the talent from Gasglow, Susan Boyle. I am sure you have already seen the video. If not then the video is below. She is not only a tiger but extraordinary.
Don’t judge the book by it’s cover.

I think its a fair question. Seriously, why do you blog?
–Is it because others are blogging?
–To make money?
–Share ideas (with no intention to make money)
–No clue…

Well there could be more questions…But you got my main question–right?

As far as I m concerned, I blog mainly to share my thoughts/ideas. I think its a great way to express yourself and share what you know and also can also learn.

But I think only 5% of all the bloggers blog for passion (i.e. not with an intention to make money). There is no denial that one can not make money off blogging. But there are many factors that a blogger should take into consideration. I will be writing about some of those in the coming days..

Till then–

First thing first–I always had the impression that the founders of Skype were from Estonia, a tiny Baltic country. Well the founders Niklas Zennstrom is from Sweden, and Janus Friis is from Denmark. It was started in 2003 and was sold to Ebay in late 2005 for $3.1 billion including bonus payments.
Now the founders are planning to buy back Skype. This is interesting to watch as how much Ebay is willing to let it go for. Some analysts say that Ebay is looking for at least $1.7 billion.

How will it help Ebay? Well, if Skype is sold then Ebay can focus on its US operations/activities with the money they get from this deal.

Will see how it goes…

Hi All,
I know I have been holding off on this blog.
I am still looking for a nice theme for this blog and I have not decided on one yet.
Hopefully I will decide on that soon.
Anyways–now I think I will start writing frequently. What a beautiful day today. Went out with my family to enjoy the weather and had some ice cream as well. Kids loved the train ride and the ice cream ofcourse.
Until next time–

Hi All,

I m back to writing again.

Its been little more than a year since I stopped writing.

I was busy with my other projects.  I always wanted to continue writing on my blog, and I think this is still not too late for that.

I m still in process of choosing the right theme.

Thank you.
