Last night, while my dad was watching Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony on CNN on TV, and I was watching it on the official website http://www.pic2009.org, many of my friends preferred to watch it on Facebook. I am sure all Facebook users would have known that Facebook collaborated with CNN to bring us live coverage on the Facebook website itself.

Since I had to work, I decided not go watch it on Facebook because on the side, we could see Facebook users who are logged in and watching the inauguration and we could chat with each other too. The crowd was massive and pretty distracting. I didn’t have time for that. LOL

It is said that there was a record status update of Facebook users during the inauguration ceremony, using CNN.com’s Live Facebook feed.

My friend, Warren, told me that his biggest expenses come from buying milk powder for his 1.5 year old son. The rest are very well taken care of by his company.

I suggested that he try out the milk powder sold on Allegro Medical, an online store that specializes in home medical products. I know that many people may not be used to shopping for milk powder from the internet but Allegro Medical has very competitive prices for their products and shipping is certainly extremely cheap. It’s currently only 95¢ without minimum shipping, though this promotion will end on 23rd Jan, 2009.

Sometimes, Allegro Medical offers free shipping too. Right now, for duocal powder, they offer free shipping to customers who order a case of four. That’s a very good deal, isn’t it?

That is according to a study by Frost & Sullivan from an estimated 158.4 million in 2008. Frost & Sullivan estimates that there will be one in three internet users who would be connecting to the internet via dongles and data cards.

However, speaking from experience, I would still want to use fixed broadband when I am in the office and at home and only depend on my 3G data subscription when I am on the move. I know this is the case for myself and many of my friends who are subscribed to both fixed broadband and 3G services.

3G right now is still not as good as it could be. Perhaps things would improve come 2013, and things would deteriorate for fixed broadband service providers. In any case, we could do with some competition as broadband internet seems to have been monopolized by a handful of companies only and if we are unhappy with their service, we could just continue to suffer.

One thing though, we’d probably have something faster than just 3G in 2013. Maybe 5G? LOL

Many of my friends who are serious make money online bloggers are already subscribed to VPS hosting. They asked me to follow suit but I am not very keen to commit more than ordinary blog and web hosting.

However, I just came across Host Color web hosting company which is offering VPS Advance at only US$49.95 per month, which is way cheaper than what my friends are paying and it’s not like their VPS web hosting absolutely have no downtime either!

Host Color’s VPS Advance allows us to host an unlimited number of domains but what I like is its Virtuozzo Os which allows us to install software with just a mouse click. Of course, if this isn’t sufficient, you could opt for VPS Power at US469.95 per month, that is also powered by Virtuozzo Os.

Host Color promises 99.9% up time. However, if you require any assistance, Host Color offers dedicated toll-free phone, email and live chat support to their clients.
