One thing about the internet is that it has opened up the world to us and we can communicate with people around the world easily without restrictions, though language may be a barrier for some of us. Working in my father’s company, I sometimes have to communicate with people who do not write in English and I would have to get their email translated. I usually get help from my Facebook friends where I would just copy the text little by little to my profile status. I found out that while I do get almost instant response, translation is not always accurate!

I just discovered this cloud translation services by Translia and am very impressed by the professional translation services that they are offering. They are fast, efficient and most importantly, they are able to work in 128 global languages! If you are worried about being charged exorbitantly, don’t be. You can always request for a quotation first and only place your order if you are comfortable with the fees charged. It wouldn’t be too expensive since there is no minimum fee imposed. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about needing just a few lines translated since there is no minimum size too.

I like the fact that translators at Translia work round the clock which means that no matter how fast you require your translation, it will be met. The internet never sleeps, after all.

Lyndon Hohaia, who is a postman in Auckland, New Zealand, lost his job recently after two pages that he set up on Facebook, PostieLad and PostieLand, where he posted his personal views on his job and colleagues, were discovered by New Zealand Post. He said that these pages were meant to be for laughs for his family and friends.

However, people who use Facebook and the internet in general, know that whatever that is posted online, whether it is set to private or public accessibility, know that that will soon enough be discovered by the public. Yes, even private information could be spider-ed and searched.

So I really think that this guy and anyone who think that they could keep their thoughts to themselves and to a close knit group of people are wrong. The internet is actually a very public place. It could be benefit its users or it could work against us, especially if we misuse or abuse it.

My friend, Warren, was very angry the other day when he received a notification from his domain name and web hosting company that they would be charging a small fee for payment made by PayPal to cover the service charge that PayPal imposes on them.

Warren told me that he’s moving his domain names and webhosting else where and asked me to recommend him my own host. My hosting is very expensive and if he is pissed off with the small fee, he wouldn’t like to know of my web hosting package.

Yesterday, I came across this domain registration and Web Hosting company, Domain Express, which I think would suit him better. It offers cheap domain registration and webhosting, which is suitable for both small personal websites and business hosting.

Every domain name with Domain Express, either purchased or transferred, comes with multiple mail forwarding, web forwarding and advanced DNS management which allows for almost instant name server changes. No more waiting 24 hours or more!

Registering a domain name through Domain Express is hassle-free. They offer domain names in every extension including the new dot co (for company). If you have a name in mind, you should register it quickly before it’s taken. You know how swiftly they go!

If you are a serious webmaster trying to rank as high as possible in search results, hence converting search traffic into revenue for your website, then you probably are already using Keyword Spy or a similar SEO product. If you are not using anything like this and yet running AdWord campaigns, then I am not surprised if you are not seeing the desired results.

My uncle told me that he is not able to convert from his AdWords campaigns and when I consulted a friend about this, he told me that if my uncle is buying AdWords as he likes without doing any analysis of his competitors and their keywords, my uncle is just wasting money in his ad campaigns.

The good news for all webmasters who have yet to discover the ultimate keyword analysis tool is that I have a keywordspy.com promo code where you will enjoy 20% off the price of the product.

Of course, before making a purchase, you can take a trial run of the product to see if it gives the results you seek. Most importantly is the ease-of-use of Keyword Spy. Being a non-savvy person, I certainly know how frustrating it is buying something and end up struggling to understand how to operate it but there certainly is no harm giving it a go.

Upon receiving a protest note from a user of Google’s Android Market, Google took steps to remove applications that are pro-Hitler, usually just themes. While Apple actively search for apps that may offend or obscene or generally violates the terms of use of Apple’s App Store, Google does not and everyone knows it.

Google, however, stated in their Terms of User Agreement that they have the right to remove whatever application already in the market, if the application violates the policy of the store, and this would include apps of adult nature, apps that incite hatred, apps that offend certain segments of people, apps that violate the law, apps that violate the IP rights of a third party, and especially apps that contain malware or spyware.

Gmail received a slight tweak to its design yesterday, particularly to the Contacts page. We also now have links to Mail, Contacts and Tasks at the top of the sidebar, above a prominent Compose mail button.

While everyone is saying how much easier it is to use this new layout now and the new Contacts page, it will take me a while to get used to the new placement of the links. I’m not saying that it’s difficult to use but after years of finding something in a particular spot on the page and it’s no longer there, or has been replaced by something else, I now have to do a quick double take composing or access my list of contacts.

Of course, Gmail developers are raving about the ease of use of the new Gmail redesign, especially Contacts and it may be so, but really, I hate to have my stuff moved about, just like how a visually impaired person hates to have his furniture moved. LOL
