The Google bomb

Let's play with Google almost like in Casino , says an internaut ( Tom Foremski) .
How to destroy Google with $ 100 million ?

So, Foremski's "atom bomb" for Google would be if a random billionaire offered $100 million to the first person to click on a specific Google ad -- without telling anyone (of course) what ad it is. In other words, this billionaire will have given millions of people the incentive to commit clickfraud -- destroying the basis under which the AdWords system works

Request for Qualifications Statement and Interest

It will be my public unofficial "Request for Qualifications Statement and Interest " RFQSI, for someone if it finds interesting. (At the end of the article is a note for the information that must be supplied in mail.)

The Project would be web application based on LAMP , usefull for the internet users and in the end, I belive, acceptable and popular by end users here in Croatia.

But the details could be obtained only via mail. So, please do mail me.



An idea is boiling in my head for some time. It's about an usefull internet service currently needed in Croatia. The concept is clean and ready but only in preliminary phase and not certain it will be for real.. Those who think can contribute to the project with their resources ( programming skills, dedicated hosting, user interface, server administration etc. ) are invited to mail.

It's only first phase, the concept is copyrighted and under trademark, so it's not for grab by greedy internet sharks. Just for note...



Personally, I don't belive someone will initiate interest into it, but who knows...



Please do note, the above mentioned statement must contain following information :



a.) Name and surname,

b.) Telephone number ( fixed line and mobile ),

c.) short summary of what do you offer ,

d.) your skills in web application development, design, or building and designing

internet services and web pages, and any other skill you find could be of

interest in the project,

e.) what do you do currently ( job description or unemployed etc.)



If you find this requirements too formal for your taste, then just move on and leave this blog. And if you'll ask only what I have to offer, then we won't dissuss the project at all, since this is only preliminary phase.

Sharing Firefox/IE- more eyes for your browsing places

Jybe is interesting piece of software, above all free. It's a great tool for sharing your browser's view with others in real-time, so called sharing-screen technology.

I can imagine lots of useful actions with Jybe. They say it's very intuitive to use. Robin Good has a review.



Let's say, you collaborate with someone online, you both have Jybe toolbar in your favorite browser, and you create session where you both surf the same web page, one leads the action and does presentation etc.

Tutorial, explanations, short introductions, presentations...It can be done in real time. Suppose you have Skype for audio communication between collaborators and it could be great experience.



Take this, do some learning of how to set up some things over web hosting, or explaining how to use internet banking...The possibilities are endless.

Magazines hoping on links

Join the dots.
This and this news piece have something in common. It happend to me during reading Financial Times early in the morning.
Magazines must operate with dual approach. Brick and mortar plus online edition doing extensivly linking to other places on the web.
It is a must for the magazines publishers to gain wider impact and to stay relevant for their advertisers.
Period !

Case Gotovina 1.00

Gotovina need's to be in Hague till 17th March. Gotovina Ante is croatian general and unresolved issue for croatian negotiation talks with EU for our membership in EU.
What's new today? National Security Council met late afternoon in Vila Weiss in Zagreb. The secret service presented their informations about the case. Lot's of hard air and noises around the meething room, I guess. They were all their. The president, the prime minister, security chiefs. It was like crisis meething. War room. The Politicians that gather . The Public is excluded. The media are hungry to get the snippets.
Few building and few miles away, young people with new housing contracts, were diging through "Watson" which is software specialized for security and tracking and presenting sensitive informations. The building is just some normal with dark glasses. It's not a thriller and I am not pretending to be thriller writer ;)

Geo-green alternative

It's sunday morning and the sunday's edition of New York Times. I found that Thomas Friedman become GEO-GREEN ?
You know, it's a stuff about clashing political ideas by the intellectual class. So, geo-green could be opposite of neocons :)) Ah, excuses! I don't know whether he's the first who used these term.
As he said in today's article:

The geo-greens believe that, going forward, if we put all our focus on reducing the price of oil - by conservation, by developing renewable and alternative energies and by expanding nuclear power - we will force more reform than by any other strategy. You give me $18-a-barrel oil and I will give you political and economic reform from Algeria to Iran. All these regimes have huge population bubbles and too few jobs. They make up the gap with oil revenues. Shrink the oil revenue and they will have to open up their economies and their schools and liberate their women so that their people can compete. It is that simple.

Bellster telephony network

Jeff Pulver is again onto something. He has new non-commercial venture called Bellster.
It's a network for sharing communications networks. It's explained in FAQ section.
Sharing is again keyword.
Bellster is using peer-to-peer concept around telephony with different approach as FWD and Skype and others.
It's like pinball telephony network that routes your phone calls for free over IP protocol. ( PSTN termination for free )
Everyone is crazy these days about broadband telephony systems. It seems Googlephone is in the making as well, some speculations about this, but some would disagree.
One can hear so many news for VOIP every day :)
