New ideas, new products, and new inventions are just some of the things you’ll find over at the Design Mind Group on the web website.
I started to write about them the other day, but ran into a bit of difficulty with the web link. I’m glad I waited. Their entrance page leads you into a world filled with: (more…)
For bloggers and website owners around the globe, if you’re struggling to get that PR rating from Google, and it still hasn’t happened, there is a reason – competition.
Not your competitor-type competition (though if your “niche” is more an “umbrella” that does effect you), but (especially for bloggers) if you’re participating in “paid to post” programs to pull in some cash for your time and efforts, chances are fairly certain that the powers that be will frown forever upon your efforts. But don’t despair. The ultimate sign of a popular web site or blog is its level of traffic. I’ve seen web sites with PR 6’s and 7’s, that get so little traffic they are truly lost in cyberspace yet acknowledged for what? Content, yes? Purity, most likely.
Anyway, just thought I’d get that off my chest yet again.
And, since it’s Sunday I also wanted to share two web links I’ve run across. One explains not only the “how to” to retweeting, but the why do it in the first place; the second is a warning about scammers using Facebook (yet again) in another unsavory way (both worth reading):

Hope you’re in the middle of enjoying a wonderful Memorial Day weekend (for those in the U.S.) and a marvelous weekend to those around the world!
Breaking (and lucky!) news for folks living in the St. Louis area… Charter is providing internet users in the St. Louis area the ability to connect to the internet at the fastest internet speed possible, yes even faster than cable (gasp!)!
However, the rest of us shouldn’t despair. Charter is planning on rolling their new “phatband internet speed” to other parts of the country throughout 2009.
What makes “phatband” so unique? Well for anyone still on dial up, I don’t even need to explain, but those on DSL (or even cable) will be shocked. Charter’s Phatband has “turned DSL into the new dial-up internet service.”
I remember when we had dial up, and also when DSL became available in the tiny town where we moved. It was like receiving a gift from heaven. Then, about a decade later, we moved here to Las Vegas, and voila! cable was available. We grabbed it and were/are thrilled.
So, I’m really excited to see what this new phatband internet speed service will be! But, like the rest of the country, we’ll have to wait our turn.
If you think about it, it sounds almost like having your very own T1 line – it’s that super fast.
In the meantime, you can head to Charter’s Ultra60 Information Page for more details. Satisfy your curiosity, and potentially find out how long it will be before it becomes available where you live.
Now that I’ve told my son, an avid game player (rabid is more like it) that hardcore web gamers in St. Louis are already in love with PhatBand’s ability to “download patches in record time,” and virtually eliminate their lag in their gaming, you KNOW I’ll be hounded until we, too, can upgrade.
(Don’t tell him, but I, too, am looking forward to this newest way to connect to the internet to hit Las Vegas.)
Dial up had its day. DSL fit where we lived (and was our only other choice). Cable is serving its purpose, but… I love speed, the faster the better!
You can stay in touch with Charter and its progress by adding Charter’s Twitter Feed to your Twitter. This way you just may get the heads up even quicker!
Come on Charter! Those of us in Las Vegas eagerly await our turn
