Using Google Translator can be against Google Webmaster Guidelines

Posted by admin in Google Translate

If you looking to add language translation functionality into your website so that non-English speaking visitors can read your pages in their native language, you have a couple of good options to choose from. Google Translation Widgets are available as a JavaScript based Language drop-down, as a overlay toolbar, as AJAX for in-place translation and as plain HTML.

If you are thinking to add it, wait it may harm you web ranking in  Search engine. I spotted an interesting comment from Google's JohnMu at the Google Webmaster Help forums. John said that in some cases, using Google Translate to auto-translate content for your web site might be seen as "creating auto-generated content, which would be against our Webmaster Guidelines."

Ping: Music Social Network by Apple

Posted by admin in Apple

On Thursday morning, Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, showed off a new social network for music called Ping. It runs inside the newest version of Apple’s iTunes software. Ping also works on the latest software for iPhones and iPod Touches. (Apple hasn’t made it available for iPad this time around.)

It’s like “Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes,” Jobs says. “But it’s not Facebook, it’s not Twitter,” Jobs is quick to note — “it’s a social network all about music.” And guess what? It has 160 million users in 23 countries built in right away (Apple will presumably be opening it up to other iTunes users later). And it’s available on your iPhone and iPod touch — right in the iTunes Store.

Jobs notes that this feature is all about discovery. You can follow both artists and your friends. And you can be followed. With it, you get custom song and album charts to discover new music. And you can post your thoughts and opinions about your favorite music. Plus, there are 17,000 concert listing in the network.

Posted by admin in Social Media

Facebook is suing a company called Teachbook, which operates a social networking site for teachers, apparently because it has "book" in its name and "competes" with Facebook. Teachbook is described as "a professional community for teachers".

In the suit, Facebook is alleging federal trademark dilution, trademark infringement and unfair competition.

Teachbook, which says that it is a community for teachers where users can share lesson plans, get advice, and connect with other educators, had created a site similar in scope to Facebook, but rather than social, Teachbook is offering a professional network site for educators. The homepage had a message, that has since been removed, stating, "Many schools forbid their teachers to maintain Facebook and MySpace accounts ... With Teachbook, you can manage your profile."

Frustrated web developer decides to teach Joomla for free

Posted by admin in Joomla

BuildAJoomlaWebsite.com has revised its online Joomla video training course and has released it for free.

Build a Joomla Website owner Richard Pearce said that it was an easy decision to release the training for free. “When I discovered Joomla, I found it difficult to understand, complicated to use and the documentation was poor. I became so frustrated trying to use it that I threw it away three times before knuckling down to work it out once and for all,” said Pearce, a web developer of 15 years.

“Once I mastered Joomla, I decided to produce a training course that teaches beginners the essentials of Joomla in around an hour, instead of weeks. Hundreds of people paid for and enjoyed the training. Many customers told me that if it wasn’t for my course, they too would have given up using Joomla. So when it came time to revise the course, I did not want anyone to go through the same miserable experience I had and so I decided to release it for free.”

A Brief History of the Internet [Video Documentary]

Posted by admin in Internet

The foundations of the Internet were formed when packet-switching networks came into operation in the 1960s. Transmitted data is broken up into small packets  of data, sent to its destination, and reassembled at the other side. This means that a single signal can be routed to multiple users, and an interrupted packet may be re-sent without loss of transmission. Packets can be compressed for speed and encrypted for security.

Computers at the time were massive, primitive structures. The only type of network in operation before was made up of terminals that logged into mainframes. This is similar to the present-day client/server relationship we have with the modern Internet, except the computers are usually comparable in terms of power, and so the Internet is known as a peer-to-peer system.
