Google fast cash – Way to make money or just another scam?

geek — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 03:10:50 +0000

You must be reading about stories of some entrepreuners that how they can make couple of thousand dollars a month from google by using google fast cash. Man I was amazed that google had such a program and I never knew . How stupid of me to stick with adsense which pays you so poorly.

I did a little research and found that this is nothing but a scam (was’nt surprised) . The only thing which google offers is google adsense and nothing like fast cash.

Please do not fall for it and waste your time and money . There is no short cut to success.

Rumour has it!!

I admit it ” I am addicted to the Internet”. I google all day!!! Just a few days back i was on the internet, I came across this very interesting website snopes.com. It hooked me on for a long time, let me tell you all about it . Well to start of it is a site which has checked out each and every rumour that is around and then rated it as “true” “false” or “undetermined”.

In the year 1995, it began as a hobby for the Mikkelsons and has now grown into Internet’s most trusted authorities, and a full time profession for the Mikkelsons.

It has been estimated that about 6.2 million people visit Snopes each month. The New York times recently put snopes on its short list of essentials that every computer user must know about.

Just heard a rumour ????log on and confirm it..

Yahoo 360 to Close

Today social networking sites are doing really well. But in the latest news Yahoo has announced the closing of its Yahoo 360 social networking service. Yahoo 360, opened in the year 2005,and they hoped to pose a threat to the other networking sites like Facebook and Myspace, but it never happened. First they had announced the closure of the site in 2007, but then pushed it several times and now its finally closing this year in July.

Users will be transitioned to the new Yahoo Profiles service. The Yahoo Profile service , incorporates basic social-networking functions, giving people the ability to publish information about their lives, create a list of friends, broadcast status updates and keep a blog with text entries, photos, videos and Web links. However, it still doesn’t match the features of 360, something Yahoo acknowledges.

Yahoo’s search engine has already been dominated by Google for a long time now and the failure of Yahoo 360 has been an another setback for Yahoo.

Only time will tell if the Yahoo Profile service does well.. Lets just wish them all the best..

In the latest statistics announced by StatCounter Global Stats Microsoft’s search engine Bing overtook Yahoo as the number two search engine in the United States. Microsoft’s revamped search engine Bing, which they choose to call a “Decision Engine”, is designed to empower people to gain insight and knowledge from the web and making quick and important decisions.

To gain the number two spot Bing was able to grab the market share from Google. Google was and is the leader in the U.S search engine market on Thursday with 71.47%. Yahoo! moved into third place with 10.22% while Microsoft’s Bing was able to grab 16.28%.

Globally Bing was also able to move up to the second spot, but with a narrow margin the global results were:

Google – 87.62%
Bing - 5.62%
Yahoo – 5.13%

Currently Microsoft must be celebrating their success , with their launch of Bing.. But only time will tell if Bing is still able to hold on to their spot after a few months.

Meanwhile do check out their search engine or must i say decision engine!
