NYC Locals: Cable Competition in New York

Filed under: Blogging It, Consumer Life, Great Entertainment — admin @ 3:41 am

Watching On the internet movies and other content over a tv screen usually suggests purchasing a special device for example an Apple Television or plugging plenty of wires to the correct holes around the PCs and TVs.

Tv service provider FiOS is testing a service that would get rid of that headache.It would allow you enjoy movies, check out photos or examine your e-mail as a result of your Tv. The television is basically a mirror show from the computer monitor.

You begin by accessing and setting up the software in your laptop or computer. Although FiOS will likely not provide particulars on it, the software performs much like remote-access computer programs that allow troubleshooters analyze your Computer from elsewhere.Then, anything you activate on your laptop or computer will look in your Tv.

It will get sent from your laptop or computer back over FiOS lines to its network, which then sends the image back to your Tv display like a channel that only you are able to enjoy. Verizon FiOS, which serves thousands of houses within the Manhattan location, isn’t saying a lot about when its buyers will get this service, or whether there are going to be an extra cost.

It’s announcing a limited trial for now, to start by June. And it’ll only be accessible to buyers who’ve both World wide web and digital services through Verizon fios. You won’t be in a position to control your Computer with your Tv remote, even though, meaning you’d have to get up to switch video or pause it.

What More Could You Ask, BIG DISCOUNT, MORE SAVINGS and MORE CHANNELS - ONLY FiOS TV Could Do that

Filed under: Blogging It, Consumer Life, Great Entertainment — admin @ 11:07 pm

At last, my location got access to the latest in broadcast alternatives, and we recently connected to Verizon’s latest Fiber-optic FIOS TV. The waiting list in my state is especially long, so while I signed up last month, it wasn’t installed until last week. At the present time, we were hooked up with FIOS internet, which provided 15MB downstream as well as upstream (an exclusive service costing an extra $10 monthly) and have found myself very satisfied with it.

Because I currently has Verizon FIOS internet service, connecting my TV was a simple installation.

The interface is very easy to use and very intuitive. There are also plenty of advanced features and shortcuts you’ll find as you become more familiar with the software. When you’re watching TV, selecting the buttons marked up, down, left or right will take you those directions. (this can be done as a shortcut) to a variety of functions, instantaneously. For example, pressing the up button takes you to the TV Guide split screen mode with the TV picture shown on the left, and pressing the down button takes you to the half-screen floating TV guide. If you press “Guide” a single time, it delivers the full-screen menu, while hitting it two times takes you to a split-screen. Pressing the button marked “Info” once will give you a small pop up with information about the TV show you’re watching and hitting it again will give you full-screen information.

The DVR can store approximately 17 hours of HD TV or 60 hours of standard TV. (short for Standard Definition) or whatever mix of the two you can take care of. Like with the majority of DVR devices, it is possible to adjust every recording as “protected”. It is not deleted automatically. or to stay in a life with the latest x recordings. It’s possible to choose new episodes exclusively, or to choose all shows including those that are repeats.

The price for core package is 43$ a month. For this you get several DVR options ranging from standard HD, standard DVR and HD DVR. Cable was costing us close to $60 and we don’t watch enough TV to justify spending that much. Premium channels cost the same as with cable, most likely since HBO and Showtime set their own costs, rather than the provider.

All things considered, we’ve been totally delighted! The quality of the picture is outstanding, the set-top box works well, and I believe that Verizon Fios will keep updating the boxes with the newest software features and even more On-Demand Movies. It is my opinion that the first month of Verizon FIOS TV in my state has set the stage right for its great progress. I feel that local cable does not compete with this service.

The Blog and the Nature of Natural Linking

Filed under: Blogging It — admin @ 5:40 pm

A lot of people are talking, and few of them know, the soul of
a search engine was created in the blog. ;-)

There has been a lot of talk about Natural Linking. From Oakland
(Ask Jeeves), Sunnyvale (Yahoo!) and Mountain View (Google),
California, all of the search engine companies are talking more
publicly about “Natural Linking”:
http://www.free-seo-news.com/newsletter174.htm#facts

WHY IS LINKING IMPORTANT?

The whole concept of linking in the eyes of the search engine
companies is that when Site A links to Site B, then Site A is
making a personal recommendation of Site B. Because Site A is
willing to put their reputations on the line to share the story
of Site B, the search engines have determined that Site B MUST
be of higher value than Site C.

Google established their PageRank system a few years back based
on this conceptual idea. Over the past few years, the other
search engine companies have began to adopt the linking model in
their attempt to catch up with Google’s lead in the marketplace.

Because the search engine companies want to provide the best
possible results to their users for a particular search, they
have all climbed on the concept of link counting to determine
the value of the sites that they are recommending to their
users.

WHAT IS NATURAL LINKING?

The idea behind “Natural Linking” is that you can have for
example five people linking to the same site giving the site
a recommendation via the hyperlinked text.

The hyperlinked text is any text that appears between the
and the < /a > tags. When used in a HTML document,
the hyperlinked text in the viewable webpage becomes a live
clickable link like this: BloggerSupport.Com. When viewing
this link from within the HTML coding, it will look like this:

BloggerSupport.Com

Each webmaster who decides to link to an invidual website has
a different idea and reasoning as to why his or her visitors
should look at the site they are recommending. As a result, each
webmaster will outline their reasoning within their links to
your website.

In our example, we have five Site A’s pointing to Site B:

Example Site One will put the following on their site:

Technical Support for Your<br /> Blog

Example Site Two will put the following on their site:

Another Blogging Site

Example Site Three will put the following on their site:

Blogging Articles, Tips and<br /> Tricks

Example Site Four will put the following on their site:

Technical Services for<br /> Bloggers

Example Site Five will put the following on their site:

Support Services for<br /> Bloggers

Each webmaster in this example has shown their users why they
should visit BloggerSupport.com. In doing so, each of them has
shown their link using their own descriptive text. It is this
“descriptive text” that the search engines view as “natural
links”.

So, “Natural Links” are links that are created by individual
webmasters and not by Site B’s owner. In the eyes of the search
engine programmers, these links will likely have a more accurate
representation of the content that appears on a website. And the
search engine masters understand that a stranger is always more
honest in his representations than the webmaster trying to
promote his own website.

WHAT DOES NATURAL LINKING HAVE TO DO WITH BLOGS?

Over the last few years, you have read many an article from
people pitching the importance of the blog in the search engine
optimization game. But, do you know why blogs have become so
important to the search engine companies?

Natural Linking.

When all is said and done, the text within a link has been given
more weight in the search engines than the real content on a
webpage.

I heard the guffaws in the audience. I can see the look of utter
disbelief on your faces as you site in front of your computer
staring incredulously at my comments. ;-)

But, wait. I can actually prove this to you.

Come back when you are done, but do click this link to view
the search results for the Worst President:
http://google.com/search?q=worst+president

Did you notice the results in search result #1? Did you go to
the webpage to see if you could find the word “worst” in the
text? I did too. And guess what. I could not see the word
“worst” in the text either.

The same search with a slight variation, searching for the
Worst President in History puts the same page in search
result #4. http://google.com/search?q=worst+president+in+history

THIS IS THE TRUE POWER OF BLOGS

The search engine companies put far more value in the natural
link text than they put in the terms that show up within a
webpage! The bloggers are the ones who have said that George W.
Bush is the worst president in history. And, I will bet that
they get a great chuckle every time someone like me points out
their accomplishments.

The reason why the blogs are the best new resource of the search
engines is because blogs use natural linking far more often than
regular website pages.

THE CHALLENGES FACING US NOW

As we move forward to promote our website in the here and now
and tomorrow, we must keep in mind the need for natural linking.
The challenge for us is how to communicate our sales messages
in such a way that links to our websites are perceived by the
search engines as natural links.

As we face this challenge, we should consider giving other
people more leeway in how they post a link to our websites. If
you are using reciprocal links or paid advertising, you should
by all means give the person showing your ad several choices for
your advertisement. If you are using reprint articles to promote
your online business, you should find a way to offer publishers
and webmasters mutliple article resource boxes, or you should
just give them more free reign in developing another natural
link to your website.

Good luck in your linking endeavors.
