WHERE CAN YOU GET THE BEST WEB HOSTING AROUND?

Nowadays, you would notice that the blogosphere has grown bigger with more and more bloggers appearing to share their piece of their mind. You might wonder how far this is true, considering that a prominent social network has almost controlled the web users from all corners of the world. One thing for sure is that these users might rant about their daily activities very often but on the other hand, they would also like to archive their experiences or products which could easily be accessed through the internet in years to come.

With domain names being sold so affordable for just anyone and great web hosting companies easily available throughout the internet, owning a personal or business website has never been so easy. There are even many free tutorials and ready-made templates available online to make the best out of your website. Some even came with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) features for easy online search such as from Google, Yahoo and many more.

Firstly, you would be required to identify what would your target market be, in order to get the best web hosting servers to meet your needs. Would the web hosting be just for personal website/blog or would it be for corporate or online business? As each category has its own requirements, you have to identify which web hosting company suits you best. There’s no right or wrong in choosing any of the abovementioned companies but make sure it’s one that would be dedicated to your interest in a long run.

SHARING ANYTHING WITHIN THE SOCIAL NETWORK

There are a few things that I would love to share with my friends and those would be having a great family of cats, restaurants that I had visited and recipes. When I have these wonderful things to share with the whole world, where would I go to? Other than a limited friend list in my blogrolls, I would share them in Acobay. You might have heard about MySpace, Friendster and Facebook but Acobay is totally different from them. They are a unique social network site where members would be well connected to share their interests and get personal.

There would be news of the hot five and top ten searches within the network. You could also click on the many categories available based on your interests such as Auto Accessories & Tools, Automobiles, Cameras, Cell Phones, Computers, Home Appliances,Home Audio, Media Players, PC Accessories & Peripherals, Software, Sports & Outdoors, Tools & Equipment, TV & Home Theater, Watches, Books, Games, Magazines, Movies & TV, Music, Musical Instruments, Pets, Toys, Websites, Destinations, Hotels, Restaurants or just anything that you would like to share under the sky or out of this universe.

This is definitely a great site to explore, show and network. Not only did I get better blog traffics, I got to know many other wonderful members and new products through their social and consumer network. If I were you I would just go right into the Acobay website and join them today.

INTERNET DISRUPTIONS ACROSS ASIA

The internet and telecommunications between Asia and Europe was reportedly cut down (by most probably trawler nets) between Italy and Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea causing a major outcry for many internet users especially those who rely heavily on the website traffics. Businesses, especially those online ones, call centers, BPOs and others are likely to be badly hit by this outage, which were already undergoing severe economic downfall these days.

At this moment, most of the Asian countries are still experiencing slow browsing, poor throughput and high latency problems as the submarine cables known as SE-ME-WE3, SE-ME-WE4 and FLAG got damaged as early as 19 December 2008 and there were no time frame set for the restoration of all the three damaged cables. It was unclear how long the repairs would be back to normal as the cables might have been trawled many kilometers away from their normal positions and relocating them could be hard tasks. Once located, the cables would be brought to the surface and repair fiber by fiber and it could take days due to their huge sizes.

Bloomberg reported that priority will be to recover the SEA-ME-WE 4 cable, then the SEA-ME-WE 3 cable. There was information from France Telecom that SMW4 could be operating by Dec. 25 and that the situation for SMW3 should be back to normal by Dec. 31. The SMW4 cable, also known as SEA-ME-WE 4 or South East Asia- Middle East-Western Europe 4 cable network, connects 12 countries: Pakistan, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Italy and France. A third line, operated by FLAG Telecom, was also cut and will be repaired by another ship. No date was stated for its restoration.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET?

The days of having pen pals and writing letters on those cutely designed “Hello Kitty” letter pads are beginning to creep out of the lives of the new generation of today. We now have the internet where dozens of chatting programs are available and it is free to subscribe too. Chatting live with a person and getting an immediate response have been so common in our lives. Getting to view the photos of the person on the other side is also a norm. What will your first reaction be if you see the person’s photo online? Let’s do a simple test to see how you will react.

QUESTION:

After chatted with a person for some time and felt that he/she is a nice person. You have the urge to see how he/she look like. When you first saw the photo, you realized that he/she is not the person in your imagination. What would your reaction be?

A. What an ugly face. Faster disconnect. I do hope I not see him/her again.

B. Be right back. I need to go to the washroom. Trying to cool down from the shock before continuing to chat.

C. Not a big deal. Who is born to be perfect? After all, he/she is honest to show me his/her truthful photo.

D. Breathe in awhile and tell the person he/she is ugly directly.

ANSWERS:

ANSWER A: You always fantasized of the rich and handsome/beautiful. When you met with people who are not up to your expectation, you try to skip the reality. You tend to be too direct in many cases and thus hurting the feelings of the person. This is what the society discouraged in a person.

ANSWER B: This is what the society is looking for in a person who will take some time to cool down to have a clear mind before deciding what the next step. Even if your loved ones have irritated you or even did something wrong towards you, you will still think analytically to solve the problems without showing your temper first.

ANSWER C: Regardless of people or situations, you know how to differentiate between fiction and reality. You know how to respect a party without hurting their feelings. In the society, you are sociable, highly respected and liken by others.

ANSWER D: Your action is rather weird. Even though you have a target in life, you tend to go astray most of the time. In fact you are still not mature in the society as you need to polish up more of your human relationship skills. Sometimes how and what you think ought to be kept to yourself. It is the best of all parties.
