They emphasize the importance of text content, page titles, keywords rich text, meta descriptions and information architecture. A website where quality of content and code prevails will rank higher in the major search engines.<br /><br />There are many Search Engine Optimization tactics, but try to find the best combination and don't sacrifice the usability and performance of your website. Here is some basic information about improving your source code from an SEO perspective:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Avoid Classical 404 Error Pages</span><br /><br />The 404 - File Not Found - page is presented to the user by the server as an error page. The user gets this message directly from the server of the website he is trying to visit. This error page is supposed to appear only when the server cannot find the requested location and is unsure of its status.<br /><br />In the vast majority of cases, the 404 error emerges for pages that were moved or even deleted or the layout of the site or page information changed.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />Many hosting companies offer a 404 redirect page. This means that when a user enters the URL of any page of your domain, and that page does not exist or can no longer be found, you can automatically redirect the user to a specified page - usually your home page or your sitemap.<br /><br />Pay special attention when you decide to delete certain pages. Remember to redirect them to a main page of your site using the 301 (Moved Permanently) HTTP response code.<br /><br />You can greatly improve the user friendliness of your website by creating a custom 404 page.<br /><br />- Present a message of apology for the inconvenience;<br />- Try to ease the user's way back to your site. Introduce error messages and include evident links to the home page, sitemap, and contact page;<br />- Offer assistance and encourage the user to continue to search for the information he needs on your site. You could even include a search box right on the error page;<br />- Keep the same design for the error page as for the rest of the website.<br /><br />But remember that the best strategy for a 404 error page is to prevent it from coming up altogether, as many customers might be left with the impression that the whole website does not exist and not just the specific page they were trying to access.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Keep Away From Orphan Pages</span><br /><br />An orphan page is a page that is not linked to another one and thus cannot be found by spiders. To avoid having orphan pages on your website, check regularly that all your pages are linked to each other.<br /><br />Search engines consider sites with orphan pages to be unprofessional, and not worthy of getting a high rank. This kind of website is under construction or is the result of a poor design process. If your pages aren't linked properly search engines won't index them and will consider them irrelevant for the search.<br /><br />Pay attention to the fact that some search engines don't correctly index websites that use HTML frames. When spiders crawl through your internal pages, they index each individual page and display them as orphan pages in search results. Most frame designs include a content frame and a navigation frame.<br /><br />Visitors require both frames to navigate through the site. Create a JavaScript to check if the page is loading correctly, and load the frameset. In this way, users won't be able to open pages outside the frame. This is a very easy way of losing clients.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use 301 Redirect Pages</span><br /><br />To avoid displaying a 404 error page, set up a 301 redirect page. The code 301 means "moved permanently" and it's the easiest way to preserve your search engine rankings for that page.<br /><br />There are two ways of generating proper 301 redirect pages. If your site is hosted on a Linux or Unix server create a .htaccess file to add the redirect to your server's web root.<br /><br />The .htaccess file contains specific instructions for certain requests, including security, redirection issues and how to handle certain errors. If it is hosted on a Windows or IIS server then the 301 redirect can be set up in the Administrator's section of the server software or through the DNS (Domain Name Server) zone.<br /><br />Make a habit of reviewing the log files which contain data sent by your server. Search engine spiders often make critical decisions based on what your server tells them through the server's headers.<br /><br />Pay attention, an improper 301 redirect can cause you big problems, since your website might fail and users won't be able to visit your pages. Setting up a correct "301 redirect" assures that you'll stay high in search rankings.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Create a Sitemap</span><br /><br />A sitemap is a web page that lists all the pages on your website. They are intended both for users - to find easier the information they need, and for search engines to index pages.<br /><br />Your sitemap link should be right on your home page. In this way spiders are sent directly to the place where all your content information is gathered. Sitemaps can improve SEO, however, be advised that they only take into consideration a limited number of links to those pages.<br /><br />To make sure that spiders check your whole site and have more chances to get indexed, it would be a good idea to use a sitemap generator. You can use ROR sitemaps that are readable by all search engines.<br /><br />ROR is a sitemap tool that uses XML feeds to describe your website. ROR sitemaps allow search engines to match text search with structured information, thus obtaining more relevance for your site. This kind of sitemap helps search engines to better understand your website content - products, services, images, articles, etc. By creating a file with product names, descriptions, prices, images, availability, affiliate programs, and any other relevant information customers can find you easier.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Don't Overuse Dynamic Pages</span><br /><br />Dynamic web pages include dynamic content - images, text, etc - which change without the page being reloaded. Client-side languages like JavaScript and ActiveX are usually used to create these types of web pages.<br /><br />Search engines don't rank dynamic pages with many parameters well. If you choose not to turn your dynamic URLs into static ones, at least put the most important parameters in your URLs first and try to limit dynamic parameters to no more than two.<br /><br />Spiders can't read the text rendered as graphics. Any text that you want the spiders to read and index should be written out as text. At the very least, put any text that appears in graphics into the images' ALT attribute.<br /><br />A slightly better alternative is to write your text in Flash, but remember to have a "Skip this intro..." link that takes visitors (and spiders) to the text-rich content of your site. Don't neglect this information if you want to optimize your search engine strategy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Put .CSS and JavaScript into External Files</span><br /><br />For a search engine, improperly formatted code will have a negative impact on your rankings. Since search engines read only a certain amount of information on a web page, you should try to increase the text content to HTML tag ratio.<br /><br />If you have too much HTML code, the text content won't be seen entirely. For reducing HTML code, utilize hand coding using external .css files and Javascript.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Make Sure You Have Well Formatted [X]HTML</span><br /><br />Try to fix as many of the HTML errors as possible. Although the search engines don't rank websites that have standard compliant code better they tend to "read" them easier. Use the W3 HTML Validator to check the validity of your code.<br /><br />For a successful Search Engine Optimization strategy, take into account all of the aspects presented here. It takes time, effort and patience to achieve a higher rank in the main search engines. The idea is to have a long term strategy that makes your website stay on top for an extended period of time.Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-21266798395882824252011-02-18T11:33:00.000+07:002011-02-18T11:35:59.139+07:00Tips to Avoid SEO Mistakes<img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 228px; height: 175px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib8lJqnjLVR6olk5i2ZdAIJ0aPp-8Dz5wjLzQPUuYSVVnV-yr1SsL-tWvs0l3oTVz4_YTfd3q-b6o1AKCqpmQ2sYJJltOveeCDPn5BgDZPchXubBpP1dBPbn3xgmkxnrZKUYNTEw/s320/seo-blocks.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451272660802664578" border="0" />With so much misinformation out there, along with a lack of knowledge about how SEO works, you could end up getting your website banned from the search engines. Learn how to avoid common mistakes with these 10 simple tips do's and don'ts.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Do Create Fresh Content</span><br /><br />Search engines are famous for penalizing a website for publishing duplicate content. With plagiarism on the rise and availability of content checking tools such as Copyscape, marketers have become more cautious. Yahoo is considered to be among the harshest of all the search engines with regard to this penalty. Add fresh content to your website to help build visitor interest and credibility with the search engines.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Do Take Advantage of Google Analytics</span><br /><br />2009 was the year when web analytics gained momentum. Google Analytics came up with advanced metrics and intelligence report features which revolutionized free analytics tools. Companies realized the benefits of using web analytics tools to extract their relevant data. Implement Google Analytics to analyze data and build a 2010 plan to increase traffic and rates of conversion.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Do Perform Competitive Intelligence</span><br /><br />Before starting your search engine optimization program, visit the competing websites in the top results. Research these types of questions:<br /><ul><li> How many websites are competing for the same keyword?</li><li> How old are the websites in top search engine results pages?</li><li> How many back links do the top ranking websites list?</li><li>What type of social media is used by the competing sites?</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Don't Link to Low Quality Websites</span><br /><br />Link building is a very crucial aspect of search engine optimization. Search engines consider the number of incoming links to a website as an indication of<br /><br />their popularity and give them priority rankings. Many beginners fail to realize that it is links from authoritative and quality websites that are important<br /><br />and they mistakenly link to low quality websites for higher rankings. This tactic can cause the credibility of the website to go down with search engines and<br /><br />In some cases, the website may get banned.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Do Maintain a Uniform URL Structure</span><br /><br />If your website is dynamic, then you need to modify the URL structure of the web pages. This maintains uniformity and helps searchbots to understand which<br /><br />page it is indexing. It is very easy to maintain the URL structure in dynamic websites. Blogging platforms like Wordpress provide an option for <span style="font-weight: bold;">permalinks</span>.<br /><br />Customized dynamic websites can use URL rewrite in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">.htaccess</span> file for the same.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. Do Include Long Tail Keywords</span><br /><br />With a million websites competing for short tail keywords, it can take more than 6 months to rank in the top 20 for a competitive keyword. In this case, long<br /><br />tail keywords come in handy. Long tail keywords are more specific and can contain the name of a specific product, brand or city. Ranking for long tail<br /><br />keywords is comparatively easier and the rate of conversion is better than that of short tail keywords. Do include keywords in the title tags.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7. Do Target the Correct Keywords</span><br /><br />Targeting the wrong keywords is a common mistake many optimizers make and even worse - veteran SEO professionals do it. Marketers select keywords that they<br /><br />think are explanatory of their website, but the average searcher does not think in those same keyword terms. Picking the right keywords can increase or<br /><br />decrease traffic to your SEO campaign. A first-class keyword suggestion aid, for example the Google search-based keyword tool, will help you find keywords<br /><br />that are appropriate for your site.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8. Do Implement a Robots.txt File</span><br /><br />The primary purpose for using a robots.txt file is to gain complete control over the data indexed by the searchbots. Implement a Robots.txt file only when<br /><br />you want to prevent unwanted web pages from being indexed. A robots.txt file is always placed in the root folder of the website where the searchbots can<br /><br />access it easily.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">9. Don't Use too Much JavaScript</span><br /><br />Searchbots are not designed to read and understand JavaScript code. If a website contains a few lines of text in the JavaScript code, chances are that<br /><br />searchbots will ignore the entire block of code along with the text. This is true in the case of JavaScript menus. Try to keep the use of JavaScript to a<br /><br />minimum. Alternatively, create an external JavaScript file if it is unavoidable.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10. Don't Use Flash for SEO</span><br /><br />Flash websites are very eye-catching, but search engines cannot read or index this type of content. If it is impossible to avoid a Flash-centric website and<br /><br />you need search engines to index it, you will have to offer an html version too. Search engines don't like Flash sites for a reason - a spider can't read<br /><br />Flash content and therefore can't index it.<br /><br />These 10 simple tips can help you to avoid making potentially dangerous SEO mistakes and ensure your site is indexed and boost rankings.Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-64512915808512506232011-02-14T16:05:00.002+07:002011-02-14T16:06:59.424+07:00Intel to pursue MeeGo with or without Nokia<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQrRH3hCrKpX00G724ajlFJd7LUZIggh2EFR_T-5rdl0EwkIIwYOU73V6bR7Qbwc52R90OLPE8Db4Y2NElJicGL78oqJRVgJ5Xl_HP4QXPjs_BHogNgyUPJPtLYJJIpwRya6Zz/s1600/meego-logo.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 445px; height: 195px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQrRH3hCrKpX00G724ajlFJd7LUZIggh2EFR_T-5rdl0EwkIIwYOU73V6bR7Qbwc52R90OLPE8Db4Y2NElJicGL78oqJRVgJ5Xl_HP4QXPjs_BHogNgyUPJPtLYJJIpwRya6Zz/s320/meego-logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573469130009848290" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Intel</span> said in a statement on Friday that it will continue development of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">MeeGo</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">operating system</span>. MeeGo is a joint venture between Nokia and Intel that merges the Maemo operating system, used by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nokia</span> on its <span style="font-weight: bold;">N-series</span> tablets, and Intel’s Mobilin project. The mobile operating system was designed to power smartphones, tablets and embedded systems such as those found in networked television sets and car entertainment systems.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />Following Nokia’s announcement that it was adopting Windows Phone as its primary operating system for its smartphones, the Finnish manufacturer hinted that MeeGo will become a research platform used to explore the “next-generation devices, platforms and user experiences.” One MeeGo device will be launched in 2011, but additional devices are not on Nokia’s roadmap. During a Q&A session following Nokia’s and Microsoft’s big announcement, Stephen Elop called MeeGo “an opportunity for learning” , which implies Intel is on its own if it wants to make MeeGo a commercially-viable platform.Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-46778718964909589192009-03-03T00:24:00.002+07:002009-03-03T00:31:23.306+07:00Google Translate: Translate between 41 languages<img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 150px; height: 55px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjicwFoiEpiPEtv_nPFU5guuQV5hfeRArxLF-uLb6uKWpsyKAksH3gJpEBvvvho9JhPPqkj7PP52BkrcgIzWwI1WVRCwhPrWtWo_BWkjZxDQfv2VynOhEcmfmZpehIT4GwJmN5e/s320/google-translate_beta_res.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308644242616031314" border="0" />Google Translate recently added <a href="http://translate.google.com.tr/">Turkish</a>, <a href="http://translate.google.co.th/">Thai</a>, <a href="http://translate.google.hu/">Hungarian</a>, <a href="http://translate.google.ee/">Estonian</a>, <a href="http://translate.google.com/?hl=sq">Albanian</a>, <a href="http://translate.google.com.mt/">Maltese</a>, and <a href="http://translate.google.com/?hl=gl">Galician</a> to the mix.

If Google's system is indeed a reliable bellwether, it could give healthcare professionals an advantage in combating an outbreak.<br /><br />Google has announced the debut of <a href="http://www.google.org/flutrends/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Google Flu Trends</span></a>, a tool designed to identify flu-outbreak patterns through an analysis of search data.<br /><br />An early version of the technology deployed during the 2007-2008 flu season accurately estimated flu levels across nine regions in the U.S. as much as two weeks faster than reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to a Tuesday posting on the <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/tracking-flu-trends.html">official Google blog</a>.<br /><div class="fullpost"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Need For Speed</span><br /><br />The speed boost reflects the differences between the CDC's data-collecting methodology and Google's near-instantaneous processing of search queries.<br /><br />CDC depends on several data collection methods to build its reports. Details from doctors and state health departments assist in helping CDC determine flu levels across the United States.<br /><br />As for relative accuracy, a comparison of a Google.org graph showing the rise and fall of flu-related activity to measurements taken by the CDC dating back to 2004 shows the two as virtually the same.<br /><br />With Google able to closely match the CDC findings ahead of the agency's current pace, it appears that an outbreak could be detected faster than the present best practices allow.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Life or Death?</span><br /><br />Google's team looked at the "gold standard" of data -- that being what the CDC gathers in its regular flu-tracking efforts, noted Glyn Caldwell, M.D., vice chairman of the department of epidemiology at the University of <a href="http://www.ukcph.org/index.htm">Kentucky College of Public Health</a>.<br /><br />"The CDC process is cumbersome but accurate, and a little bit slower," Caldwell told TechNewsWorld. "While Google Flu Trends isn't as precise, it does give you a good idea of what is going on."<br /><br />Such a heads-up could potentially be lifesaving. Healthcare professionals could focus more on preventive care than emergency care, and possibly thwart an outbreak before it could become widespread.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Undifferentiated Queries</span><br /><br />Despite the potential advantages of Google's search-query tracking, certain factors might affect the accuracy of Google Flu Trends, suggested Caldwell. The number of queries could include students working on reports, or multiple family members looking up symptoms on behalf of an ill person, as well as those actually suffering from the flu.<br /><br />Still, Google's Flu Trends could encourage some early action in a community, perhaps prompting someone already affected by flu symptoms to seek a prescription for Tamiflu, Caldwell suggested. Those without symptoms might decide to get that flu shot they neglected before the start of flu season.<br /><br />One observation of note is that Google Flu Trends shows a lower number of search queries later in an epidemic, Caldwell pointed out. Though curiosity about flu symptoms may waver, that doesn't necessarily mean the outbreak itself has diminished.<br /><br />CDC's tracking will likely remain a more accurate measure of the flu's impact on a given community, he concluded.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Source: TechNewsWorld</span></div>Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-30131393879704983022009-01-30T13:37:00.003+07:002009-01-30T13:55:11.943+07:00Google's New SearchWiki Tool Lets Users Give Their Two Bits<img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 172px; height: 124px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX-sYQ558cu21cBSXe8OagfJNLBkOFebShyHCgkfltXFqIRrrJkCcUl6fe0ulb1RlqXfY7ePb_6dSE9iY46QGA1m1i6vxaA8TqXSCY_r2oGvpmaoIRp0jVnE3gZTvva8R1yut3/s320/google-wiki.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296973598250756610" border="0" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Googlers</span> now have the ability to re-rank, delete, add and comment about the results coming in on their queries.

They're not going to make everyone happy, however, as some of the features included with the headphones will not work with the iPhone or older iPod models.<br /><br />Out of the box, the Apple In-Ear headphones include a plastic carrying case with a cable wrap, three pairs of silicone ear tips (small, medium, and large) and a set of replacement mesh caps that come in handy when earwax inevitably builds up. The earpieces are very light, comfortable, and stylish, and the cable runs around 3.5 feet long.<br /><div class="fullpost"><br />Unlike Apple's standard-issue earbuds, which rest just outside the ear, the Apple In-Ear headphones are intended to fit literally in your ears, similar to wearing a pair of earplugs. The three pairs of interchangeable silicone ear tips included with the headphones ensure that the earpieces completely seal your ear canal, isolating you from ambient noise and delivering better sound quality at a lower volume. While the earplug-like sound isolation provides a quiet backdrop for music listening, we don't advise wearing them for a morning jog, or any activity requiring some awareness of your surroundings.<br /><br />Because the ear tips are made from a white silicone, they will discolor more quickly than the black and gray ear tips we're used to seeing from brands like Shure and Etymotic. In fact, if you've ever used a pair of Apple earbuds, you know that the all-white cable and earpiece design also tends to show dirt sooner than later.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAk_Kc0Ku5olp9hiXZaPtsYSwqUXunyLbea70h6pATIHHL1389Oht5QiNcX_At8PsKLUiNui_asA1jWnx1Px-WIfQOjZm5f0Mktsb9Jv0CAkB6JH6oXOgRe8M-gNjbVaAuFJHf/s1600-h/aple-ear-headphones-2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 306px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAk_Kc0Ku5olp9hiXZaPtsYSwqUXunyLbea70h6pATIHHL1389Oht5QiNcX_At8PsKLUiNui_asA1jWnx1Px-WIfQOjZm5f0Mktsb9Jv0CAkB6JH6oXOgRe8M-gNjbVaAuFJHf/s320/aple-ear-headphones-2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276762242000769106" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Product summary</span><br /><b><br />The good:</b> The Apple In-Ear headphones offer great sound, stylish design, comfortable ear tips, a one-year warranty, a spare set of mesh caps, and an in-line microphone with an iPod remote control. <p class="bad"><img class="ico" alt="The bad" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/b.gif" /><b>The bad:</b> The all-white design will show wear over time, iPhone users can't take advantage of the headphone's in-line volume control, and owners of older iPods have no use for the remote and microphone.</p> <p class="bottomLine"><img class="ico" alt="The bottom line" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/b.gif" /><b>The bottom line:</b> If you own a new iPod, the Apple In-Ear headphones are a great value.

It also adds additional features to Twitter, such as grouping your contacts. It solves some real problems, but I found it clunky to use.<br /><br />Users of the AIR app <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">TweetDeck</span> will get PeopleBrowsr immediately. Like TweetDeck, PeopleBrowsr lets you open up multiple Twitter streams at once. You can see, for example, the Twitter stream from your friends, the stream of people replying to you, the stream from a continuously running search. PeopleBrowser displays three streams side-by-side. If you add more you have to scroll horizontally to see them, no matter how wide your monitor is.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy3-CpUO5vsdz0P9MRwshFQZLtJqRLobL13YfEkoQKyLMJdAJGj-OKVJY4nNQshWxYff8cFgUIOPSy2teu0A8403pOBKitvDZk9xQxquVeYbCwHWQPWh8Il2nHT-C9mUyjqryu/s1600-h/people-browser.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy3-CpUO5vsdz0P9MRwshFQZLtJqRLobL13YfEkoQKyLMJdAJGj-OKVJY4nNQshWxYff8cFgUIOPSy2teu0A8403pOBKitvDZk9xQxquVeYbCwHWQPWh8Il2nHT-C9mUyjqryu/s400/people-browser.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276757861418035634" border="0" /></a>PeopleBrowsr puts three personal feeds into one window.<br /><div class="fullpost"><br />PeopleBrowsr isn't limited to Twitter. You can also set up streams from <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Friendfeed</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">YouTube</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Flickr</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Seesmic</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">LinkedIn</span>, and other services. You can have as many running as you like. <span style="font-style: italic;">PeopleBrowsr</span> also lets you merge feeds together, so you can see, for example, all the activity in your YouTube and Flickr accounts in one single feed.<br /><br />The service also lets you see PeopleBrowsr-specific profiles of the people in your streams. If you click on a name you can see everything the person wrote, as well as related links (which I assume the service picks up from reading their activity streams). You can tag people, and you're supposed to be able to create groups. But I could not find a way to sort contacts by tag nor a way to add people to groups.<br /><br />The service is extremely rough right now. It's hard to use, slow, and its features are obscured under too many different non-standard interface elements (horizontally scrolling navigation menus). I generally will forgive a service a lack of refinement if its developers say it's still in alpha testing, as is the case for PeopleBrowsr. But I got the feeling, after talking to CEO Jodee Rich, that PeopleBrowsr fairly represents his design philosophy and aesthetic, and that we won't be seeing too many changes in the layout. I believe he's trying to cram too much of his vision into one browser window, and that an AIR app might be a better delivery mechanism. Rich clearly told me has a "no download" philosophy, though.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Source: cnet</span><br /><br /></div>Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-6641818099679430142008-12-07T01:44:00.004+07:002008-12-07T02:01:15.390+07:00Yahoo search deal better sooner than later<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCOAj0oK6S99s9D6U1TMe-eM_gGsStGWoK-V59wKUjs6J60gN1ztmVifbosJuob8odMKx9ewutJlBiTjF_gEqate98a0xMJRH9tY3AOdAWlxdh5ZfFlB_QumN4E6DFe0e_rY7l/s1600-h/SteveBallmer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 121px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCOAj0oK6S99s9D6U1TMe-eM_gGsStGWoK-V59wKUjs6J60gN1ztmVifbosJuob8odMKx9ewutJlBiTjF_gEqate98a0xMJRH9tY3AOdAWlxdh5ZfFlB_QumN4E6DFe0e_rY7l/s320/SteveBallmer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276753590995820370" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Microsoft CEO <span style="font-weight: bold;">Steve Ballmer</span></span> said a search deal with Yahoo would be better if done sooner than later, but noted it wasn't a factor in the hiring of former Yahoo search executive Qi Lu, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.<br /><br />Microsoft announced Thursday that it had hired Lu as president of its online services business. Lu was formerly the vice president of Yahoo's e-commerce and search business. Microsoft has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring the latter.<br /><br />In responding to the Journal's question on whether Lu's hiring will make any potential integration of Yahoo's search assets easier for Microsoft, should a deal be done, Ballmer said:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I think a search deal makes great sense for Microsoft, and Yahoo, and I think I've been very open about that. That's as true with Qi joining us as it was before Qi joined us. Obviously, the logistics of any such integration...can only be simpler by having somebody who will know both sides. But that was not a factor in hiring Qi.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Our focus on portal and search is super-strong, and even if we never do a Yahoo deal or anything else, I wanted to have Qi come on board. It is kind of a bonus that if something happened with Yahoo I'm sure it's somewhat simpler.</span><br /><div class="fullpost"><br />Ballmer noted the two companies are not currently in any talks about a search deal and Microsoft is under no pressure to act on such a transaction.<br /><br />He added, however, it would be "<span style="font-style: italic;">advantageous</span>" for the two companies to team up on search:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Look, the fundamental basis for doing the search deal with Yahoo has to do with critical mass in the advertising marketplace. It doesn't have to do with technology, or any of these other things, it really is a market phenomenon. Together we would have more advertisers...which means we'd have more relevant ads on our page. We'd have higher monetization levels possible in front of us because there would be more people bidding on more key words. Most importantly, Google would have perhaps a real credible competitor sooner.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">I think good ideas are usually better done quickly than slowly, so it would probably be better for both of us, and certainly for Yahoo, if we were to do it sooner than later. But at the end of the day, that would have (to) be something Yahoo would be interested in as I have expressed our interest.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNmLwhyphenhyphenT7zPuP88ITrS1rem38aW3gbWGQ0SMlk2YVf2r5zg1n95vA7K02GKyybQDqqqytbcr99VnDZQr8mlzVVCIhcl-oHy2YCJPckMenQnfDZrqezFbxkEPg38dHNylYPRZ6W/s1600-h/Qi-Lu.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNmLwhyphenhyphenT7zPuP88ITrS1rem38aW3gbWGQ0SMlk2YVf2r5zg1n95vA7K02GKyybQDqqqytbcr99VnDZQr8mlzVVCIhcl-oHy2YCJPckMenQnfDZrqezFbxkEPg38dHNylYPRZ6W/s320/Qi-Lu.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276753826375009122" border="0" /></a>Lu, who begins his Microsoft job on January 5, said he plans to zero in on such areas as "talent, core infrastructures, and basic processes," that will improve the quality of the company's products and user experience.<br /><br /><br /></div>Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-33789574417862449352008-12-04T08:47:00.002+07:002008-12-04T08:50:54.059+07:00Google, Hallmark Channel team up for TV ads<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYb0c0N5afCAiCPNk_5hsBSyfEa0xzZ_rtLpOK6O-hATyu-AWmpJUAbIXL0iccMawLLTFZC9R66trGVJ-uKhNI1vLeOLHlnkD55o5a53vi8C_ikW6w2qereSxS_MlZpUp4-YLH/s1600-h/hallmark-logo.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 98px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYb0c0N5afCAiCPNk_5hsBSyfEa0xzZ_rtLpOK6O-hATyu-AWmpJUAbIXL0iccMawLLTFZC9R66trGVJ-uKhNI1vLeOLHlnkD55o5a53vi8C_ikW6w2qereSxS_MlZpUp4-YLH/s320/hallmark-logo.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275746356691201922" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.google.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Google</span></a> and the <a href="http://hallmarkchannel.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hallmark Channel</span></a> announced Wednesday that they have formed a partnership that will make <span style="font-style: italic;">Google TV Ads</span> the channel's exclusive advertiser.

All of a member's uploaded videos and most premium content, including branded channels such as TMZ, the National Hockey League, the National Geographic, The Onion, and College Humor, are available on mobile devices.<br /><div class="fullpost"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A Growing Trend</span><br /><br />MySpace said its members are increasingly interested in portability and on-the-go-access, making mobile video a natural step. "MySpace will continue to grow our video library as we increase delivery channels in order to keep pace with our users' accelerating desire for video consumption," said John Faith, vice president and general manager of mobile for MySpace.<br /><br />MySpace Mobile is not new. The site sees about three billion page views every month from more than 10 million unique users, according to the company. But MySpace is betting that adding video streams will give it a boost in an increasingly competitive social-networking arena.<br /><br />MySpace may be on to something. According to Frost & Sullivan, streaming mobile video services constitute the bulk of current U.S. mobile video offerings. Tapping streaming video puts MySpace on the leading edge for social networks. Phil Leigh, a senior analyst at Inside Digital Media, said the MySpace streaming deal is one more example of how digital video is making inroads on various fronts.<br /><br />"Internet video is now on the TV, the computer, and the mobile device -- and it's advancing on all three fronts," Leigh said. "It's well established on the computer now, and it's beginning to move into the mobile devices and the television more rapidly. We'll see more of this in 2009 and beyond."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Not Tied To Carriers</span><br /><br />MySpace is leveraging RipCode's On-Demand Video Transcoding. Real-time transcoding means MySpace can support several different handsets even though they require different combinations of codecs, bit rates, and resolutions.<br /><br />What MySpace isn't doing, however, is tying its service to any one wireless Relevant Products/Services carrier. MySpace is catering to iPhone users, among others, with its mobile streaming video. That, Leigh said, is the wave of the future.<br /><br />"In the past if you wanted to get streaming video, you had to subscribe to the incremental services from your carrier. What's different here with the iPhone and the other devices this works with is that you can go to whatever Web site you want and get the video directly from there," Leigh said. "Mobile video is no longer in the hands of the telephone companies."<br /></div>Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-21191629234294482008-12-04T08:10:00.003+07:002008-12-04T08:25:08.759+07:00Britney Spears is queen of Yahoo searches in 2008<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iwxiSUjvx02Vfrd2Tjh-YlkwhM23mnMOAnK_5G7W6bGLxCiXHufCQ2NkmuvdH7n6aVmEvITnUuuI5rju7LzuAxntzr9POU3tWzxD5gwW701cRojtkP_a2KZyjmVFHQFZ8HKK/s1600-h/spears-britney-photo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

font-style: italic;">.tel</span>, the domain is intended to act as a universal contact point rather than as a hook on which to hang websites.<br /><br />Owners of .tel domains will be encouraged to populate it with details about how they can be contacted.<br /><br />The domain is designed to work on the web and with mobile phones such as the Apple iPhone and Blackberry.<br /><br />"All other top level domains like <span style="font-style: italic;">.com</span> use the net's domain name system in the same way," said Kash Mahdavi, head of Telnic which runs the .tel registry. "They all store IP address and they are all about websites."<br /><div class="fullpost"><br />By contrast, he said, .tel had been designed to act as a repository for all a company's or individual's contact details. A <span style="font-style: italic;">.tel </span>domain, said Mr Mahdavi, could feature phone numbers, e-mail addresses, GPS data or buttons that kick off a Skype call.<br /><br />Mr Mahdavi said it had some similarities to the Enum projects that aim to bind phone numbers and e-mail addresses into a unified contact system.<br /><br />The flaw, he said, with Enum was that it demanded people be on the web. By contrast, .tel will work with many different devices such as smart phones.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Phase one</span><br /><br />Owners of <span style="font-style: italic;">.tel</span> domains will be able to manage their contact details via a simple dashboard and surrender as much or as little information as they desire, said Mr Mahdavi.<br /><br />He added that <span style="font-style: italic;">.tel</span> domains have a "<span style="font-style: italic;">friending mechanism</span>" that will grant close friends access to private areas that give more ways for a person to be contacted.<br /><br />"It will become their place on the cloud," said Mr Mahdavi.<br /><br />Access to the domain is being granted in three phases. The first begins on 3 December and is the "sunrise" phase for trademark owners to get domains related to their brands.<br /><br />The second phase begins on 3 February 2009 and is a "landrush" phase open to anyone though domains will be on sale at a premium.<br /><br />The final general availability phase starts on 24 March 2009 when the domain will be open to all comers.<br /><br />Phil Kingsland, director of communications for Nominet, the firm that manages the .uk domain, notes that a number of new domains will go online when a new process for allocating them rolls out next year.<br /><br />"Businesses will need to be aware of the potential uses of <span style="font-style: italic;">.tel</span> and how it can work for them," said Mr Kingsland.<br /><br />"They should have a clear and robust domain name strategy in place, so that when new top-level domains such as these come onto the market, they are ready for them."<br /><br />Mr Mahdavi would not be drawn on the final price for a <span style="font-style: italic;">.tel</span> domain but said it would be in line with that charged for other domains.<br /></div>Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-6766849507421551112008-12-01T16:28:00.005+07:002008-12-04T08:28:38.662+07:00Home work being closely watched<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXenCaXhslpc5ajafZ1q3XFq6Nhm9NNV5VvvtigNy0mu7oTRcyMz5EDz-IuqPwV_5OSOg67ScGjJ-Ag_d-qAFuZVrBfAi5dj8IdpyA_d27pEymwJ9sGdv9cCvF2cTh4o8dcBbD/s1600-h/debby_baksh.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 203px; height: 152px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXenCaXhslpc5ajafZ1q3XFq6Nhm9NNV5VvvtigNy0mu7oTRcyMz5EDz-IuqPwV_5OSOg67ScGjJ-Ag_d-qAFuZVrBfAi5dj8IdpyA_d27pEymwJ9sGdv9cCvF2cTh4o8dcBbD/s320/debby_baksh.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274751754609877618" border="0" /></a>With the global economy slowing down and office space being sold off, workers are facing more pressure to hold on to their jobs.<br /><br />The latest tracking technology means that even those working from home are equally under the spotlight as their activities are monitored remotely.<br /><br />Debby Baksh is one of thousands of customer sales agents hired and trained online by US firm Arise to answer calls at home.<br /><br />In her Brooklyn living room, she supplies phone services to some of the biggest companies in America and around the world.<br /><div class="fullpost"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Close look</span><br /><br />She is allowed to answer six calls an hour and must try to make these last six minutes or more.<br /><br />"So they want to make sure you're doing your job and selling a lot," said Ms Baksh. "Once your calls are over six minutes they know that you're being very productive, that you're selling the items for them."<br /><br />Her conversations with customers are recorded and analysed by her bosses, and her performance is monitored constantly by software on her computer.<br /><br />If she steps away for any reason without logging off, the machine will know about it - but Ms Baksh likes it because it shows she is hard at work.<br /><br />Her 100% track record ensure she has first choice of working hours, while also receiving a steady stream of high-quality customers likely to buy.<br /><br />Arise spokesman John Riordan said calls were routed to staff based on their skills and earlier performance.<br /><br />"We also have the ability to match customer demographics with agent demographics, because after all, we all like to buy products and be serviced by people like ourselves," he said.<br /><br />But telephone tracking technology has its critics. They point out that remote workers should be aware that getting sacked is only one click away, as most systems are set up to ensure they never have legal status as an employee.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">No legal status</span><br /><br />In return for a 10% cut, oDesk takes care of every aspect of the relationship from invoicing to international payments, and intellectual property rights to taxes.<br /><br />This makes it easier for companies to hire workers across borders, while providers from almost any country can to sign up, set their own hourly rate and start bidding for work.<br /><br />Gary Swart, the boss of oDesk, said there were 160 different tests on technology, writing and phone skills that providers can take free of charge.<br /><br />"We ask you to do that so you can differentiate yourself from the 130,000 other providers in our network. And then apply to jobs as you see fit," he said.<br /></div>Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-65573176530811828512008-11-27T22:55:00.004+07:002008-12-04T08:29:03.216+07:00Mengenal Cc: dan Bcc: Ketika Menggunakan Email<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLs8SWU-sXSSkHiZ9LGHrwkLMP5F_R60WxpP9T3mxRvm7HywZxOe0WMXo1lnZdGeT_A3eG5Dy-Iv0xw95YTGopeL1cOlui63wa8xJgxE-CF35291t__aWIa_1jpC3FUPCxoIhZ/s1600-h/email5.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 254px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLs8SWU-sXSSkHiZ9LGHrwkLMP5F_R60WxpP9T3mxRvm7HywZxOe0WMXo1lnZdGeT_A3eG5Dy-Iv0xw95YTGopeL1cOlui63wa8xJgxE-CF35291t__aWIa_1jpC3FUPCxoIhZ/s320/email5.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273368255083039138" border="0" /></a>Mengirimkan pesan menggunakan surat elektronik (email) bagi beberapa orang bisa jadi menjadi rutinitas dalam pekerjaan. Ada kalanya kita mengirimkan email tersebut dengan beberapa kondisi pengiriman yang berbeda, misalnya:<br /><ul><li>Mengirimkan email kepada satu orang</li><li>Mengirimkan email untuk beberapa orang sekaligus, atau</li><li>Mengirimkan email kepada seseorang/beberapa orang sekaligus dan juga mengirimkannya sebagai terusan untuk penerima lain.</li></ul>Ketika mengirimkan email, salah satu kolom isian yang harus diisi adalah penerima. Ada beberapa pilihan isian antara lain: To:, Cc:, dan Bcc:. Namun, seringkali tidak banyak yang memaksimalkan fungsi-fungsi tersebut.<br /><div class="fullpost"><br />Nah, apakah perbedaan dari ketiga istilah diatas? Berikut beberapa informasinya:<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">To</span>: Disinilah kita mengetikkan alamat tujuan pengiriman email. Kita dapat mengirimkan sebuah alamat email saja, atau sekaligus beberapa alamat. Setiap alamat email bisa dipisahkan dengan tanda koma (,).<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Misalnya</span>: penerimasatu@domain.com, penerimadua@domaindua.com, dan seterusnya. Dalam konteks tersebut, penerima satu dan dua akan tahu kepada siapa saja email tersebut dikirimkan.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Cc</span>: Ini merupakan kependekan dari “<span style="font-style: italic;">Carbon Copy</span>”. Ini mirip dengan istilah pertama diatas. Bedanya terlihat kepada kesan kepada siapa email utama ditujukan; dan kepada siapa salinan email juga akan dibaca. Penerima yang dituliskan dalam kolom <span style="font-style: italic;">To:</span> akan dapat melihat alamat email penerima lainnya, dan begitu juga sebaliknya. Penggunaan seperti ini biasanya digunakan ketika kita ingin memberitahukan pihak lain ketika kita mengirimkan email kepada penerima utama.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Contoh</span>: Saya ingin berkirim email kepada Pak Agus, dan saya ingin pula Pak Bambang menerima salinan email tersebut. Pak Agus tahu bahwa email saya juga dikirimkan ke Pak Bambang (sebagai salinan), dan begitu juga sebaliknya dengan Pak Bambang.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Bcc</span>: Kependekan dari “blind carbon copy”. Sedikit berbeda dengan <span style="font-style: italic;">Cc</span>: seperti dijelaskan diatas. Disini, semua penerima yang dituliskan dibagian <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Bcc: tidak tahu kepada siapa saja email tersebut dikirimkan</span>. Seolah-olah, email tersebut dikirimkan satu per satu ke setiap penerima. Padahal, kita hanya mengirimkan satu kali, langsung kebeberapa penerima. Satu-satunya alamat email lain yang terlihat adalah alamat email pada kolom <span style="font-style: italic;">To</span>:. Untuk menghindari supaya tidak ada alamat email lain yang terlihat (selain alamat email Anda sendiri), Anda bisa memasukkan alamat email Anda sendiri pada kolom <span style="font-style: italic;">To</span>:, kemudian masukkan alamat email penerima lain dalam kolom <span style="font-style: italic;">Bcc</span>:.</li></ul><br />Semoga lebih jelas perbedaan dari istilah-istilah tersebut.<br /></div>Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34808370.post-20394914318680778482008-11-26T16:03:00.001+07:002008-11-26T16:05:29.216+07:00Kalkulator di Command Prompt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzLIQKpLNbOkpTqvF9fL-NExS7gJlNnU-9-nFbkIFsIda6EIyBusD7pEut3OmHyxqv6oLY3CYhpOEEaL-Gq5OdAfC2XASXQJmMeB_JEROc7x6JA_HW04_UkqzIFINeM8bU7Lkw/s1600-h/tip-cal-dos.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 298px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzLIQKpLNbOkpTqvF9fL-NExS7gJlNnU-9-nFbkIFsIda6EIyBusD7pEut3OmHyxqv6oLY3CYhpOEEaL-Gq5OdAfC2XASXQJmMeB_JEROc7x6JA_HW04_UkqzIFINeM8bU7Lkw/s320/tip-cal-dos.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272889743227205506" border="0" /></a>Tahukah Anda, jika Anda dapat melakukan proses perhitungan matematika di Command Prompt?

Buka Command Prompt dengan mengklik [Start] > [All Programs] > [Accessories] > [Command Prompt] atau dengan mengklik [Start] > [Run], ketikkan “cmd”, lalu tekan [Enter].<br />2. Di jendela command prompt, ketikkan perintah dengan sintaks “set /a nama_variable=ekspresi_matematika”. Contohnya begini: “set /a total=(100+50)/2”.<br />3. Kalau contoh itu yang Anda masukkan muncullah “75” sebagai hasilnya.<br />Anda dapat melakukan berbagai operasi matematika, seperti penambahan (+), pengurangan (-), perkalian (x), pembagian (:), serta kombinasi dari operasi-operasi tersebut. Untuk mendapatkan informasi tambahan mengenai perintah set, Anda dapat mengetikan “set /?” lalu tekan [Enter].

Established on April 4, 1975 to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800, Microsoft rose to dominate the home computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems. Microsoft would also come to dominate the office suite market with Microsoft Office. The company has diversified in recent years into the video game industry with the Xbox and its successor, the Xbox 360 as well as into the consumer electronics market with Zune and the Windows Phone OS. The ensuing rise of stock in the company's 1986 initial public offering (IPO) made an estimated four billionaires and 12,000 millionaires from Microsoft employees.<br /><br />Primarily in the 1990s, critics contend Microsoft used monopolistic business practices and anti-competitive strategies including refusal to deal and tying, put unreasonable restrictions in the use of its software, and used misrepresentative marketing tactics; both the U.S. Department of Justice and European Commission found the company in violation of antitrust laws. Known for its interviewing process with obscure questions, various studies and ratings were generally favorable to Microsoft's diversity within the company as well as its overall environmental impact with the exception of the electronics portion of the business.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">History</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Paul Allen</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bill Gates</span>, childhood friends with a passion in computer programming, were seeking to make a successful business utilizing their shared skills. The January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics featured Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems's (MITS) Altair 8800 microcomputer. Allen noticed that they could program a BASIC interpreter for the device; after a call from Gates claiming to have a working interpreter, MITS requested a demonstration. Since they didn't actually have one, Allen worked on a simulator for the Altair while Gates developed the interpreter. Although they developed the interpreter on a simulator and not the actual device, the interpreter worked flawlessly when they demonstrated the interpreter to MITS in Albuquerque, New Mexico in March 1975; MITS agreed to distribute it, marketing it as Altair BASIC.[3] They officially established Microsoft on April 4, 1975, with Gates as the CEO. In August 1977 the company formed an agreement with ASCII Magazine in Japan, resulting in its first international office, "ASCII Microsoft". The company moved to a new home in Bellevue, Washington in January 1979.<br /><br />Microsoft entered the OS business in 1980 with its own version of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Unix</span>, called <span style="font-style: italic;">Xenix</span>. However, it was <span style="font-weight: bold;">DOS</span> (<span style="font-style: italic;">Disk Operating System</span>) that solidified the company's dominance. After negotiations with Digital Research failed, <span style="font-weight: bold;">IBM</span> awarded a contract to Microsoft to provide a version of the CP/M OS, which was set to be used in the upcoming IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC). For this deal, Microsoft purchased a CP/M clone called 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products, branding it as MS-DOS, which IBM rebranded to PC-DOS. Following the release of the IBM PC in August 1981, Microsoft retained ownership of MS-DOS. Since IBM copyrighted the IBM PC BIOS, other companies had to reverse engineer it in order for non-IBM hardware to run as IBM PC compatibles, but no such restriction applied to the operating systems. Due to various factors, such as MS-DOS's available software selection, Microsoft eventually became the leading PC OS vendor. The company expanded into new markets with the release of the Microsoft Mouse in 1983, as well as a publishing division named Microsoft Press. Paul Allen resigned from Microsoft in February after developing Hodgkin's disease.Nanang Suryanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246288191295866961noreply@blogger.com0
