Secondly, the panel considered the crucial (and more broadly relevant) question of how much control TWS had over what appeared on the parking site. It accepted that TWS had not interfered with the content of myspace.co.uk, including when ads relating to social networking began to appear. Rather, they had been generated and updated by Sedo’s software, so it was natural that MySpace’s rapid rise be reflected.
Updated Nominet, the not-for-profit registry for .co.uk web addresses, is facing an attempted coup by a group of members who want to force its bosses to hand back millions of pounds in surplus fees.
The company took the rearguard step on Monday of writing to all its 3,000 members encouraging them to turn out to vote in ongoing elections for two non-executive board members. The official communication (pdf) goes as far as campaigning against the three would-be usurpers: Darren Brown, Jim Davies, and Robert Fox.
Rather than spend hours comparing UK Web Hosts Weycrest are doing it for you! Namesco think they have a great starter package, but not when you compare their features and prices with the Weycrest Personal Plan. This comparison will also apply to all of Namesco’s other brands which include Simply.Com, Cheapnames.co.uk, CheapDomainNames.co.uk, Net2.co.uk, 123domainnames.co.uk, XSessions.com, NDO.com and Names123.com
Details accurate as at 23 April 2008. We have also given the Namesco the benefit by including their “half price” special offer for the first year, so Namesco prices are only correct for the first year. The following year they would double in price.
Weycrest have relocated their business operation in an eco friendly business centre in East London, next to the River Thames, opposite the “famous” O2 Arena. The buildings are constructed entirely from recycled shipping containers! This tends to play havoc with local wireless networks due to the “Faraday Cage” effect, but this is to some extent appropriate as Michael Faraday conducted his original lighting experiments in conjunction with Trinity House from adjacent Lighthouse on the site (the only lighthouse on the River Thames).
Some time ago we realised our web servers may be contributing to CO2 emissions so decided to take some time helping to reduce the effects of global warming by cutting down on our ‘carbon footprint’.
Each of the websites in question was monetised and has advertising provided by Google Adsense and Google was ordered to hold the first $1 million collected in a special account “on behalf of the defendants each month. The second $1 million that accrues in the account every month will be given to the defendants. If more than $2 million accrues in one month, the money is split between the defendants and the Google account.”
Many people jump into social media marketing because they feel they “should be doing it”. Many times companies don’t take the time to identify their goals why they want to engage in a campaign. Identifying and measuring social media metrics can be easy and inexpensive. Here are some simple things to keep in mind and free ways to track them. This list is based on a viral marketing / linkbait campaign where you are tracking one URL.
Things are hotting up in the search engine battle. Rupert Murdoch’s New Corp is apparently interested in swapping MySpace for Yahoo, whilst Yahoo looks to Google in a defensive alliance.
News Corporation has discussed swapping MySpace, its internet social
networking unit, with Yahoo! in return for a 30 per cent stake in the
enlarged group.
The discussions remain tentative and could collapse after the departure of
Terry Semel as Yahoo!’s chief executive and his replacement by Jerry Yang
this week. Mr Yang, co-founder of Yahoo! and incoming chief executive,
yesterday pledged to “dig in” to his new role, and acknowledged the
difficult task he faces to arrest the decline in the internet portal’s
shares.
Interesting post. This blogger has found Twitter useful in breaking news, which enabled him to hit the frontpage of Digg and recommends some useful tools to interact with Twitter.
This weekend will mark one month that I’ve been writing over at Read/WriteWeb and doing consulting. In my previous stints as an online news writer (which I missed very much) I was often able to break news faster than my tech blogging competitors primarily through some advanced use of RSS feeds, which I wrote about here. I’m still doing that in this job, but there’s a new tool that’s making a huge impact on my reporting - Twitter!
Digg is fighting a war against spammers, but the owners lack of communication over algorithm changes is hitting the producers of good new stories, which Lyndon details on his popular blog.
Basically, people are pissed at the lack of communication with those who run digg and also over changes in the algorithm which mean some need over 200 voted to make it to the front page.
Short version: digg is changing, adapting with the times. They are in an arms race with the spammers and I hope they win. Problem is, people like me who provide great content for digg get caught in the crossfire and sometimes struggle to get the good stuff to the top. Will it be easier for the good stuff to get to the front page? Can’t say, not yet, we have to see how this current dust up settles. Read More ?
