Because of the limits to 140 characters per Tweet, make Twitter an ultimate tool for promotion and communication between thousands of users.

Everything going up on Twitter is in the real-time. You can know the latest news and announcements through the world within a seconds, and actually be a part of it.

Twitter makes it easy to put yourself and your own business in front of the people you want to get in touch with. Every time you post a tweet, it will be displayed on the public timeline. Allowing your followers (your potential customers) to stay in touch with you directly. This makes a good opportunity to hear some feedbacks regarding to your site, service or a product. Creating good and quality connections make your offers more quality and productive for them. Twitter is a great tool which has a huge potential for you and your own business for sure.

Stay in Touch
Twitter is not just about announcing people to know what exactly you are up to. Its also a good tool to communicate and stay in touch with similar-minded people to share experiences together. Staying in touch with other people couldn’t be easier than this its simple, fact and very productive. All you need to do when you find someone you like is to follow him/her and watch their updates and communicate between. This service open the new opportunities for you and for your business. Allowing you also to stay in touch with your loyal readers (followers) and your own potential partners. Also, it is a good way to find new friends.

It’s a huge community created with the real people all around the world. It’s completely free service with no annoying advertisements, maybe that’s why it’s so popular.

If you don’t have a Twitter account, I recommend you to create one completely for free.

Why to Use Blogger or Blogspot?

You can see that I use Blogger as my primary blogging source on internet. Between many other similar and popular systems, you might ask yourself why I have choose Blogger for my blogs! On this post I will try to show you my recommendations and stats!

Why to Use Blogger to Blog ?

1.) Completely free – This is of course one of the main reasons why I use Blogger to blog! Of course, many other blogging services are free – but read what you get with Blogger in following text.

2.) Advanced Customization – Blogger allows you to customize your blog the way you want to customize it! It’s little bit complicated to customize (compared to other blogging systems), but you can do much more on Blogger definitely with your site design!

3.) Domain Hosting Support – Blogger is service that allows you to host your own domain name completely for free! Other similar systems usually charge this option – but with blogger you can get it for free.

4.) Space and Limitations – With Blogger you get completely free 1 GB image hosting and not limited bandwidth! That’s very good and enough for 99% bloggers.

5.) Scripts, Widgets and Gadgets – Blogger have collection of some good and quality widgets and gadgets that you can use! Including support for scripts and advertisement codes. Allowing you to fully customize and put on your site whatever you need.

6.) Comments, Moderation, Categories and Archives – Blogger supports comments and comment moderation as long like Categories and Archives – Everything you need to have on your blog.

7.) Secured – Blogger is free hosting service for blogs owned by mighty Google – It’s very secure and trusted service – much more secured than self-hosted systems.

8.) Collaboration Support – Blogger have very good collaboration feature that allows you to have multiple moderators that can post / edit your blog.

Conclusion
Blogger have many advantages to other free-hosting services, as well few misses that should be fixed in near future. I really don’t like blogger SEO functions. By default Blogger doesn’t have any SEO based functions and options – like Wordpress have for example.

Blogger is little more confusing than Wordpress, and it’s not quite good for absolute beginners! Template designs which comes default with Blogger are not professional and they are so oldish! I hope that Google team will fix that in our near future, because with little more improvements they can be much more comfortable and professional.

Monetizing websites with Google's AdSense changed the web landscape

Monetizing websites with Google's AdSense changed the web landscape and allowed thousands of people to consider living offline from online income seriously. The follwoing are Google Adsense tips, links and resources.

Where should I place Google ads on my pages?
The Google "heat map" that shows the zones that they suggest perform best for Google ad placement.

Six AdSense optimization tips for forums
The Google Adsense weblog offers up "AdSense optimization tips for forums", which includes a forum-specific heat map and 5 other tips to getting the most from Adsense in your forums.

Smart pricing and your Adsense account
Jen releases some interesting information about Smart Pricing secret sauce which results in some publishers earning more money for a click while others earn less, with the result being that one poorly converting site can "smart price" an entire AdSense account.
Not having access to advertisers conversion rates, publishers are left guessing with respect to how their sites perform for advertisers. I suppose Google wants us to err on the side of caution, and remove adsense from our sites that we suspect are not converting well for the advertisers?

Inside AdSense: The facts about smart pricing
After this, Google steps up to provide a few facts about smart pricing and how to ensure you're maximizing your revenue. While it does provide some information, I'm not sure it dispells what was reported at the site linked to from above.

100% Google AdSense: Tools, Tips and Resources
A fantastic post covering heaps of tools and articles focused on helping you get the most from the ads on your site or network. If you are not familiar with the links in this article, put some time aside and get to know them and implement or use some of them and hopefully you will notice the difference in your AdSense revenue!

Track Google AdSense Clicks via Google Analytics
A little JavaScript that allows you to track Adsense clicks in Google Analytics. I'm always leery about monkeying with Adsense, and I couldn't find any official Google endorsement of this (i.e. use at your own risk), but the concept is interesting nonetheless.

Looking at Google AdSense Placement on MySpace
Loren Baker over at Search Engine Journal takes the time to document the AdSense ad placement in various types of MySpace pages.
Knowing that Google and MySpace partnered to set this up, there's a good chance that the performance of these ads are tightly monitored, so this could be a study worth checking out.
Loren points out this about the ad targeting: ... I am single and have lived in Brazil and Japan. Most of the ads served to me are for Singles Sites where I can meet Brazilians and Japanese women. That’s some very tight ad targeting by Google.

Google Adsense Section Targeting
A Google Adsense optimization tip that may be worth trying out as it might help to avoid Public Service Ads and off target advertising.
Note that they say it may take up to 2 weeks before our crawlers take into account any changes you've made to your site. I'm assuming this means the addition of these tags. Strange as AdsenseBot tends to be so quick...

Know the Truth, Exposing Myths in Cyber Security

We all know the cyber security is important. Having a good password is important to keep confidential information protected. We know that having an anti-virus, anti-malware and spyware application do wonders especially when you’re connected into a network or the web. Having all those applications is a good thing but we also know that having a correct firewall setting is quite important as well.

However, what most of us don’t know and what we are forced to believe is that having these precautionary measures are just enough. Well they are not. It is time that you know the truth and expose some of the myths cyber security that we have believed for years.

Let’s start of with anti-virus software and your system firewall. Despite what manufacturers say, despite what the advertisements say, despite what some of your friends tell you, no anti-virus software or firewalls for that matter are 100% effective. You need to understand that for one virus creators make malicious codes that are so advanced that an anti-virus application is not yet capable of handling an attack from it.

Despite the regular updates released by anti-virus software companies, they cannot foresee what kinds of virus will come out next month or the month after that. They can only provide their customers with protection based on the virus that they know off and the potential virus that could come out. As mentioned or implied earlier, the best way to have a degree of protection is combine the technologies together. Have separate virus software installed and keep a strong firewall active. Although, there might be a problem with some applications not working well together but conduct your won research and see which software works well together.

It is also important to know that not because you have installed an application that’s the end of it. You see you will need to get the patches or updates that manufacturers release. These patches or updates are fixes on some little or sometimes big inconsistencies or bugs in the application. This is very important for anti-virus applications especially.
Look into your installed application and see it there is a n automatic updating option, which there usually is, that allows you to automatically receive updates whenever manufacturers release a new version or an upgrade of the system.

Also, don’t believe that just because you have mainly personal and insignificant information in your computer that it’s not worth protecting at all. Please bear in mind that what you think is not important can turn out be quite useful for hackers. Every bit of information you have in your computer, email or any other system can be manipulated and used by hackers to access more of your confidential information or use it to gain some profit. Even if you keep your files in a computer not connected to any network, the one that a hacker gains access to can be used to attack other computers or cause problems with other systems.

Not being rich is not a good enough reason of being attacked as well. Hackers and identity thieves will grab any opportunity that they come across with. If they can get you personal information easily, they will do so and think about how they can use it for their personal gain and believe me, they will think of a way.

After we exposed some of these myths and now you know the truth cyber security, I hope you get a renewed conviction regarding cyber security.

Cyber Security Tips And Guides(Training):

Despite the economic turmoil, reports said that cyber security professionals take home relatively high pay. It appears that companies see the benefit of investing in information and data security. While this can’t drive business expansion, it can at the very least protect their businesses from further downhill glide and help them get by until the economy rises back to life.

This only proves that a cyber security career is not only lucrative but also timely. But you don’t become a certified cyber security professional that easy; knowledge of computer and technology is not enough. You have to undergo cyber security training.

But how do you start? What’s the first step? Start by looking for potential training school. Fortunately, many schools join the hype in cyber security and offer certificate and degree programs. Gather as much information as you can, then start comparing. As much as possible, avoid enrolling in online schools. Potential companies need to see evidence of your actual training, and online training can hardly give them that. Learning from books is good as well, but again, you need to build your expertise under the mentorship of physical teachers who can guide you through the ropes of security jobs in an interactive setting.

Of course, you will find that some schools are more expensive than the others. Take note, however, that costs are highly based on the mentors’ expertise, laboratories, and facilities. If you find a school rather expensive, check if the teachers are experienced practitioners and do not merely echo what is written in the book. Remember, this is a skill training, and impartation of skills is necessary here.

Make sure as well that the laboratories and classrooms are well equipped, the machines and equipment modern, and the training location highly conducive to learning. Higher price translates to better service; this is the general rule.

After considering everything, here comes the hard part—actual learning. The best schools, teachers, and equipment are all secondary; the most important thing is your eagerness and dedication to learn. Make extra effort to supplement your training with research and consistent practices. If you need to setup a network at home to further study and employ what you’ve learn from your training, do so.

You sure will encounter errors and problems along the way, but these encounters are often good opportunities for learning. Research as much as you can. Get good books. The idea here is to learn more by immersing yourself in real-life scenarios.

You can also do volunteer work for small-scale businesses or non-profit organizations. There is a two-fold benefit to doing this. First, you can gain experience in a more professional setting. Second, these organizations are credible references in your future job application.

After passing your training, get active in looking for potential employment. But don’t get frustrated if you don’t immediately get into your dream company. Sometimes companies bank on years of experience, so to take this as an opportunity to gather more working experience. Start by offering your services to companies within your area.

Do not stop learning. Cyber security training is just the start. After this, you are on your own to feed your mind and hone your skill. Attend conferences if the opportunity arises. Consistently meet with other security professionals.

This way, not only will you be learning, you can also meet a lot of people who will either be willing to work with you or offer you employment opportunities.

Why do People Network Over a Network?

People's lives nowadays are focused on one thing, catching up to everyone else. Everything is fast paced when it comes to career, opportunities and relationships. People barely have the time to stop and look around them to assess what they have and what’s going on in the world. Because of this hyped up and fast paced way of life people are barely connected with the people that matter the most.

Some friends and family never really know what is going on with each other. There is a solution to all of this and it’s what they call social networking, the question is why do people network in a network?

There are a lot of reasons why and here’s a short list of the reasons why:

1. Know new people. Just about every social networking websites says meet new people and the fact of the matter is that it’s what it’s actually all about. Meeting new people over social networking websites is the primary objective of having social networks. It’s like speed dating, people meet people assess if they like them or not and add them in their network of friends. It’s a great way of finding out how small the world is.

2. Finding lost friends. If there’s a cheap way of finding a long lost friend it’s through social networking websites, it’s because people hate being left behind in all the techie stuff that they make their own network. One of the features that a lot of social networking websites have is the “how are you connected” feature. It shows you the link that goes back to the person who introduced you to that person that you have on your network. Another feature is the “friends you have in common” feature, this allows you to see who are the people you have in common in your network. And chances are if you have someone in common it’s easy to look for somebody else.

3. Chat away. If you got nothing better to do with your life, chat the day away. Forums or discussion boards on social networks are available for those people who have a lot to say but have nobody to talk to. I know it’s sad right…because of the power of freedom of speech everybody has the right audience to listen into what you got to say.

4. Be part of an interest group. One of the good things about social networking websites is that there’re always people who share what you like to do. Crazy as your hobby may sound there’s bound to be a few people doing what you do. Not so special anymore right? And all along you think that you’re weird because you like collecting stamps so you can lick them, but on second thought wouldn’t it be better to belong.

5. Blog. Blogging or weblogs are the current replacement of a journal. It’s a little space in cyberspace where you get to rant as much as you like, write poetry, curse at people, curse at the government, curse at the Idol judges, shares your thoughts on almost anything and everything under the sun.

6. Post your face in cyberspace. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a place where you can put all of those memories for people to envy? Indeed, social networking is a great way of showing off to your friends what you’ve accomplished and what other things you like to have.

How To Create PDF Files For Free

Create PDF files on my computer. The way we are going to do this is to:

• Create a virtual printer port
• Print to this new port
• Capture the printing data, and...
• Convert it into a PDF file.

Essentially, we create a new virtual printer that outputs PDF files. You don't have to understand what all this means; just follow the instructions below, and all should be OK.

By the way, this works under Windows only. I am using Windows XP, but this works under all versions of Windows (it should anyway...).

Free Software

The software we need is available for free - pure freeware, no adware or spyware. We will need at least 3 pieces of software:

1. Ghostscript (we will call it GS from now on)
2. Redmon
3. Adobe Acrobat Reader (or any other viewer)

Download and install all three programs. Chances are that you already have Acrobat Reader. For this tutorial, I will assume that you have installed GS in C:\gs. The version I work with is 7.04, so I have a directory called gs7.04 in the C:\gs directory. If you use another version of GS, then the numbers will be different.

 

Installation Steps

In detail, this is what we are going to do:

1. Create a new redirection port (which will be called RPT:1)
2. Install a new printer driver to print to the new redirection port
3. Use the redirection port to capture all of the printing data and send it to GS
4. Let GS ask us for a file name to produce the PDF to
5. And let GS produce the PDF file.

The first 3 steps happen in the same process, namely when we install the new printer driver.

Go to Control Panel, and select the Printers folder. If you already have printers installed, you will see them there. If not, it will be empty.

Click on the File menu, and select Add Printer. Follow the wizard, but note the following:

• Install a local printer
• Do NOT search for plug and play printers
• When choosing the port, select 'Create a new port', and select the type to be Redirected Port. You will be asked for a name, just accept the default, but make a note of it. If this is the first time you are installing a redirected port, it will probably be called 'RPT1:'.
• When you get to choosing the printer driver, you need to make sure you select a postscript capable driver. Also, it would help if the driver can print in colour. The one I like to use is the HP Color LaserJet 8550-PS. Experiment with several if you want. But whichever you choose, I suggest that you tweak the options to make sure it produces the best quality; this is usually called 'enhanced' or 'premium' or 'high quality'.
• Make sure you are printing to a file

Now you need to create a configuration file. I call mine pdfwrite.rsp, and I keep it in the C:\gs folder. The contents of this file are (just copy and paste from below; change the details to reflect your installation):

-IC:\gs\gs7.04\lib;C:\gs\fonts
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-r300
-dNOPAUSE
-dSAFER
-sPAPERSIZE=a4

It is a simple text file. So create a text file, paste the info into it, and then save it. Then rename the file.

The details of how you do the following vary with the operating system, but what you need to do is to configure the port so that:

• Redirect the port to a program (GS in our case). The full path on my installation:

C:\gs\gs7.04\bin\gswin32c.exe

• The arguments for the program are:

@c:\gs\pdfwrite.rsp -sOutputFile="%1" -c save pop -f -

Note the final space and dash; they are important.

• For the output, select Prompt for filename.

Now is a good time to mess with the options a bit to make sure the printer is printing in colour, and that you have selected the maximum printing quality.

The printer is done. You can now rename it to something meaningful, like PDFWriter or something. The file should open in Acrobat Reader without any problems.

Test it by printing out anything.
