:: Protecting Your Reputation Online
03/29/2010 Google is sometimes thought to be the bane of the
Internet, and it certainly can be a thorn in the side of
search engine marketers. Many fail to look beyond the search
of today, toward what the implications of indexing and storing
information will have on future generations.
03/24/2010 Podcasting is an up-and-coming and increasingly
popular medium for communication. The following are common
questions about podcasting, perfect for those just getting
started in podcasting as a communication channel...
What Format Should I Record To?
While other formats are supported, MP3 is by far the most
common format used for audio podcasts. Unless there is a
specific and compelling reason to use a different format,
you should stick with MP3 files for audio podcasts.

only $9.95 , they are royalty free and can be modified to

:: Small Businesses Overlooked
03/15/2010 State tax grab efforts more and more are pitting
governments against big Internet retailers.
Who gets forgotten, though, are the little guys and gals

intensive hands-on event where you start with an idea on
Friday evening and by Sunday afternoon you can literally
be in business ready to generate your first lead or customer.

Technology

03/01/2010 While this technology is great for emergencies
it does raise personal security concerns:
Google on Saturday quickly activated an online person
finder tool to allow relatives and friends to find loved
ones following the huge earthquake in Chile.
The Person Finder: Chile Earthquake from the California-based
Internet giant is located at Chilepersonfinder.appspot.com
and offers users the choice of using it in English and Spanish.
It asks users What is your situation? and gives them
the choice between I am looking for someone and I
have information about someone.
Users can then search records by name or input information
about someone.
