Q&A Injected Into the Search Experience Via the Web and the Community

We've known that Ask has been working on a new version of Ask.com for months, but now it's here. Ask is placing new emphasis on the Q&A side of search, and is injecting the Q&A experience directly into the main search experience, which is what SVP of Product Management Tony Gentile tells WebProNews, sets the new Ask apart from other Q&A sites.

Do you think Ask's Q&A-oriented approach is a good one? Leave a comment to let us know.

He says they've taken a hybrid approach, utilizing existing partnerships and new technology that's been refined over the last six to nine months, to build a new social Q&A experience that's built directly into Ask's search capabilities. When Ask doesn't immediately give you an answer (or the right answer), you can simply ask "the community."
We asked Gentile to tell us a little about who this community is. Initially, he says, they are using their existing employee base across IAC companies in a private beta. These employees are encouraged to invite their own families and friends to participate. Some journalists have been invited as well. Eventually this will expand. He says they will also implement technologies like Facebook Connect, Twitter, LinkedIn, OAuth, etc. to get users to bring in people from their own networks.

Also as a result of the social media aspect, he says profiles can lend credibility to answers. For example, if you answer a question and your LinkedIn profile is attached to it, that can show your experience in a field related to a question you have answered.

This is where the new Ask.com comes in as a potentially useful tool for businesses. Businesses may want to answer questions about products, and even create relationships with potential customers. An interesting nugget Gentile shared is that in analyzing the questions Ask receives, the majority of them are either related to "how do I spend my time?" or "how do I spend my money?"

Ask has the ability to work at the local level, as well. Gentile says they have the ability to analyze questions of both an implicit and an explicit local nature. For example, if someone asks, "what's the best burrito shop in San Francisco?", that's clearly a local question, and they can route it accordingly to people in and who have visited San Francisco.

Another type of local question, however, is something like "who's a babysitter I can trust?" That's also a local question, but it doesn't name a specific city. Ask says it has the ability to figure it out, and again, route accordingly. It calls upon signals in the user profiles. If a user gives permission, they will use location.
Here are the main features of the new Ask.com (as described by the company):

- Proprietary semantic search technologies: Finds the most relevant, quality answers across the Web, and displays them at the top of the page. No click-throughs required.

- The largest Q&A database on the Web: More than 500 million questions and answers indexed, and the ability to quickly extract Q&A pairs from hundreds of thousands of sources.

- Ask.com community: Leverages proprietary search categorization to route questions and solicit high-quality answers from community members based on their interests and areas of knowledge.

- New user interface: Improved UI makes it easy to ask and answer questions, highlights advancing and trending questions from the Ask community throughout the site.

What do you think of the new Ask.com? Let us know in the comments.

Yahoo Now Including Bing Results - Tips for Optimizing

2010-08-05T22:10:00.000+07:00

Bing SEO is More Important Than Ever

Yahoo has begun testing organic and paid search listings from Microsoft. Up to 25% of its search traffic in the U.S. may see organic listings from Microsoft, and up to 3.5% may see paid listings from Microsoft adCenter. I guess you could say that the early stages of the Search Alliance's transition have begun.

Will you place more emphasis on Bing optimization as it integrates with Yahoo Search? Let us know.

"The primary change for these tests is that the listings are coming from Microsoft," says Yahoo's VP of Search Product Operations, Kartik Ramakrishnan. "However, the overall page should look the same as the Yahoo! Search you're used to - with rich content and unique tools and features from Yahoo!. If you happen to fall into our tests, you might also notice some differences in how we're displaying select search results due to a variety of product configurations we are testing."

Yahoo provides the following example, in which the Microsoft-powered parts are represented by the boxes:

Yahoo provides the following example, in which the Microsoft-powered parts are represented by the boxes:

As far as SEO is concerned, the Yahoo Search Marketing Team provides the following tips for organic search:

Compare your organic search rankings on Yahoo! Search and Bing for the keywords that work best for you.
Decide if you’d like to modify your paid search campaigns to compensate for any changes in organic referrals that you anticipate.
Review the Bing webmaster tools and optimize your website for the Microsoft platform crawler, as Bing listings will be displayed for approximately 30% of search queries after this change, according to comScore.

Microsoft's Satya Nadella also says that "now is a good time for you to review your crawl policies in your robots.txt and ensure that you have identical polices for the msnbot/Bingbot and Yahoo’s bots. Just to note, you should not see an increase in bingbot traffic as a result of the transition."

The Bingbot is designed to crawl non-optimized sties more easily. The new Bingbot will replace the existing msnbot in October. More on this here.

Also note that the new Bing Webmaster Tools experience is live. This has been completely redone with a bunch of new features (and more features to come). Bing Webmaster Tools Senior Product Manager Anthony M. Garcia summarizes:

The redesigned Bing Webmaster Tools provide you a simplified, more intuitive experience focused on three key areas: crawl, index and traffic. New features, such as Index Explorer and Submit URLs, provide a more comprehensive view as well as better control over how Bing crawls and indexes your sites. Index Explorer gives you unprecedented access to browse through the Bing index in order to verify which of your directories and pages have been included. Submit URLs gives you the ability to signal which URLs Bing should add to the index. Other new features include: Crawl Issues to view details on redirects, malware, and exclusions encountered while crawling sites; and Block URLs to prevent specific URLs from appearing in Bing search engine results pages. In addition, the new tools take advantage of Microsoft Silverlight 4 to deliver rich charting functionality that will help you quickly analyze up to six months of crawling, indexing, and traffic data. That means more transparency and more control to help you make decisions, which optimize your sites for Bing.

WebProNews spoke with Janet Driscoll Miller of Search Mojo out at SMX a while back. She had presented on the topic of Bing SEO vs. Organic SEO. As she notes, some businesses actually see better results from Bing than they do from Google, and when Yahoo starts fully using Bing for search, Bing's share of the search market is going to grow dramatically (it also powers search in Facebook, let's not forget).

Yahoo will be integrating Microsoft's mobile organic and paid listings in the U.S. and Canada in the coming months. The company anticipates that U.S. and Canada organic listings in both the desktop and mobile versions of its search will be fully powered by Microsoft as early as August or September. This of course depends on how the testing goes.

Yahoo and Microsoft have created new joint editorial guidelines for advertisers that will become effective in early August. These can be found here.

As we've discussed, Bing optimization is about to get more important, and now the time has come to really look at your Bing strategy if you've not already been doing so.

Are you prepared for the transition? Comment here.

your website on Google's first page

2010-07-06T16:55:00.000+07:00

How can we guarantee top 10 rankings on Google and what's the catch?

Many people will tell you that it is not possible to guarantee top 10 rankings on Google. That is correct. No one can guarantee top 10 rankings except for Google's engineers.

However, our tool IBP has a success rate of more than 98% and we will give you your money back if you belong to the very few people who don't get top 10 rankings on Google with IBP.

How does it work in detail?

1. You choose the keyword and the search engine

You tell IBP for which keyword you want to get a top 10 position and you choose the search engine on which you want to have a top 10 position. This can be Google.com, Google.co.uk, many other local Google variations as well as Yahoo, Bing, their local variations and many other search engines.

2. IBP analyzes your web page

IBP's Top 10 Optimizer will then analyze all the relevant ranking elements on your web page as well as the links to your website and calculate a ranking score based on that information. The higher the ranking score, the more likely it is that your website will be listed on Google's first result page.

3. IBP tells you in detail what you have to change

If your website does not have a 100% score, IBP will tell you in plain English what exactly you have to do to improve your web page and the links to your site. The advice will be tailored to your website, the chosen search engine and the chosen keyword and IBP will tell you in detail what you have to change and how you have to change it.

4. You make the changes on your web page

In the last step, you change your web page according to the suggestions of IBP's Top 10 Optimizer until there are no further suggestions (IBP's Top 10 Optimizer gives your site a 100% rating).

That's it. No catch, no fine print. If you follow the advice of IBP's Top 10 Optimizer then your website will be listed on Google's first result page.

A real top 10 ranking guarantee should be for the keywords of your choice and it should be for the regular, unpaid search results. That's the guarantee that you get with IBP.

We are a reliable partner

Our company has been in business since 1997. Companies all over the world use our products to get better search engine rankings. We're a member of the Chamber of Commerce and a contributing member of the Organisation of Independent Software developers.

Our products and our CEOs have been featured in computer magazines and investment magazines. If you use IBP to get high rankings on Google and other search engines, you use a proven solution from a reliable company.

What Would Google Have to Do to Make You Stop Using Facebook?

What Would Google Have to Do to Make You Stop Using Facebook?

"Google Me" Rumor Fuels More Google vs. Facebook Discussion

Last week, it was talk about how Facebook's "going to war" with Google. This was based on Facebook using "likes" as relevance indicators in it's search results. As some pointed out, Facebook has a long way to go when it comes to competing with Google in search. Bing stands to gain more than anyone, as far as Facebook improving its search is concerned.

This week, it's all about Google "going to war" with Facebook as a social network. Just as there is little evidence to suggest that Facebook poses a serious threat to Google the search engine, there is little to support the notion that Google is a threat to Facebook the social network.

Do you consider Google a threat to Facebook? Tell us why or why not.

The discussion rippling throughout the Blogosphere was kicked off when Digg Founder Kevin Rose tweeted:

An interesting enough post, sure, but also one that caters to much more speculation than any real facts. A popular version of the speculation is that Google will do more with its profiles. This would make sense, given that this is the central hub for one's Google account, and could be somewhat thought of as Google's version of the Facebook Wall.

Obviously Google has other social services like Buzz, Friend Connect, Orkut, Gmail, GTalk, Wave, Reader, Docs, YouTube, SideWiki, etc. As I have said numerous times in the past, Google is essentially already a social network, and these services are connected throughout a Google ID, the one that is tied to your Google Profile. It is really just a matter of how these are connected. Another way to look at it is that Google is the social network, and each product is one of the features.

Is Google going to kill Facebook with a new announcement? Probably not. While it will certainly be interesting to see what is announced (if anything), and it might be a very good product or feature, people are highly unlikely to stop using Facebook because of whatever it is. Chances are, you already use both Google and Facebook, and I seriously doubt that will stop anytime soon (at least for any reason related to this).

Eric Eldon at InsideFacebook points to comments from former Facebook executive Adam D'Angelo, who says Google's project is "not a rumor" and that there is "a large number of people working on it." Based on his comments, Google is modeling the project off of Facebook.

Even if he says it's not a rumor, we still have to treat it as such until we hear word from Google, and we all know that Google doesn't comment on rumors.

In another interesting sidestory, Matthew Papakipos, an engineer who "started and managed the Chrome OS project" is now with Facebook. One can only imagine what this means.

Google Shares Its Viewpoint on Earning Quality Links

2010-07-04T18:53:00.000+07:00

Quality Link Building is About the Long-Term

SEO changes all the time as search engines make adjustments to their algorithms and user interfaces, users adopt new technologies, etc. Still some things never change, like Google's view on spammy links.

Do you agree with Google's philosophy on link-building? Share your thoughts here.

In a new post to the Google Webmaster Central blog, the company has expressed its most recent viewpoint on earning quality links.

The first piece of advice Google gives is to get involved with the community around your topic. If you were still not convinced that social media plays a very big role in search, consider this is coming straight from Google. Now the networks your community hangs out in may vary, but engaging with the community is simply a good way to get links and build credibility, which also will most likely lead to more links. Engaging is good for increasingly visibility outside of search anyway. Nothing new. Just reiterated by Google.

Another tip Google suggests is to create content that solves problems for your users - things like tutorials, videos, and tools, surveys, research results, etc. Users who find helpful content are likely to pass it on.

Google notes that humor and other link-bait tactics can work for the short term, but does not recommend counting such tactics. "It's important to clarify that any legitimate link building strategy is a long-term effort," says Google Search Quality Strategist Kaspar Szymanski. "There are those who advocate for short-lived, often spammy methods, but these are not advisable if you care for your site's reputation. Buying PageRank-passing links or randomly exchanging links are the worst ways of attempting to gather links and they're likely to have no positive impact on your site's performance over time. If your site's visibility in the Google index is important to you it's best to avoid them." (emphasis added)

"Directory entries are often mentioned as another way to promote young sites in the Google index," says Szymanski. "There are great, topical directories that add value to the Internet. But there are not many of them in proportion to those of lower quality. If you decide to submit a site to a directory, make sure it's on topic, moderated, and well structured. Mass submissions, which are sometimes offered as a quick work-around SEO method, are mostly useless and not likely to serve your purposes."

Szymanski also suggests looking to similar sites in other markets for inspiration - not to copy them, but to see the things that they have done to be successful and see if there is a way to apply that to your own site.

Finally, probably the most obvious tip offered here is to make it easy for people to share your content. Things like Facebook "likes" and Twitter retweets can go a long way in creating new links to your content. Granted these won't necessarily boost you "pagerank" but they will boost your visibility, which can lead to more quality links, and simply traffic, which is ultimately the goal anyway right?

Did you know? Default Windows limit of 20% bandwidth (QoS). Regardless of how fast the Internet connection or network in the computer with Windows will be limited to 20% for the default network connection (QoS - Quality of service) from Windows.

Review Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

2009-07-23T15:03:00.008+07:00

The Darken story to Harry Potter-6 is shown at the beginning of the Yates film. Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter), the son of Lord Voldemort appears Destroying a bridge in the UK. He and his friends also come to a store owned by Ollivander wand. Disruption that it certainly made a mark that does not make you read the Harry Potter books, or may forget the previous story. But do not worry, slowly but surely, all the mystery will be showed in this film. In 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, "Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) who is more mature given' responsibility 'more by Dumbledore (Michael Gambon). Head of Hogwarts boarding school in the Harry prepare for a fight with Lord Voldermort and his people. Indeed, in the 6-series to this storied, the black witch trying again the magic world. Various preparations made Dumbledore to Harry certainly not easy. For example, they had to go to Professor Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent). The professors are required to teach at Hogwarts again. But the purpose was not actually Dumbledore. She wanted to get Harry Horace memory. Memory can reveal past Tom Riddle about Lord Voldermort. Dumbledore also invites Harry to find the soul of Lord Voldermort. Apparently before the 'destroyed' Voldermort was split into seven soul. Meanwhile, Harry is busy with his legend persuade Professor Horace and search for the souls of Voldermort, on the other hand enemy Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) also have a mission. Malfoy running mission that assisted Professor Snape (Alan Rickman). At the 6-film to this audience is not only presented a scene-scene boring as the movie to Harry Potter-5 is minimal about action scenes and visual effects. Quite a lot of scenes that make audiences apparently brought to the world of Harry Potter magic. Not only that, the way the story on film is also growing to love life of Harry and companions. Conflicts also appear on romance as long as it puzzles past Voldemort has not been revealed.

Review Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

2009-07-23T14:50:00.004+07:00

Suramnya kisah ke-6 Harry Potter itu sudah diperlihatkan Yates di awal film. Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter), anak buah Lord Voldemort muncul memporak-porandakkan sebuah jembatan di Inggris. Ia dan teman-temannya juga mendatangi toko tongkat sihir milik Ollivander. Kekacauan yang dibuat itu tentu menjadi tanda tanya buat Anda yang tidak membaca buku Harry Potter atau mungkin lupa kisah sebelumnya. Tapi jangan khawatir, perlahan tapi pasti, semua misteri akan terkuak dalam film ini. Dalam 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,' Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) yang sudah lebih dewasa diberi 'tanggungjawab' lebih oleh Dumbledore (Michael Gambon). Kepala sekolah di asrama Hogwarts itu mempersiapkan Harry untuk menghadapi pertarungan dengan Lord Voldermort dan kroni-kroninya. Memang dalam seri ke-6 ini dikisahkan, para penyihir hitam berupaya lagi menguasai dunia sihir. Berbagai persiapan yang dilakukan Dumbledore untuk Harry tentu tak mudah. Misalnya saja mereka harus mendatangi Profesor Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent). Sang profesor diminta mengajar lagi di Hogwarts. Tapi tujuan Dumbledore sebenarnya bukan itu. Ia ingin Harry mendapatkan memori Horace. Memori tersebut bisa mengungkap masa lalu Tom Riddle alias Lord Voldermort. Dumbledore juga mengajak Harry untuk mencari jiwa Lord Voldermort. Rupanya sebelum 'musnah' Voldermort sempat membelah jiwanya menjadi tujuh. Sementara Harry sibuk dengan petualangannya merayu Profesor Horace dan mencari jiwa-jiwa Voldermort, di sisi lain musuhnya Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) juga punya sebuah misi. Malfoy menjalankan misinya itu dibantu Profesor Snape (Alan Rickman). Pada film ke-6 ini, penonton tidak hanya disajikan adegan-adegan yang membosankan seperti film ke-5 Harry Potter yang minim akan adegan action dan visual efek. Cukup banyak adegan yang membuat penonton seolah-olah terbawa ke dalam dunia sihir Harry Potter. Tidak itu saja, jalan cerita pada film ini juga berkembang ke kehidupan percintaan Harry dan sahabat-sahabatnya. Konflik-konflik tentang percintaan pun muncul sebagai penyegaran selagi teka-teki masa lalu Voldemort belum terungkap.

Does the Truth Help or Hurt Relationships? by Kristin Denton

2009-06-28T19:02:00.001+07:00

Remember how your relationship was in the very beginning?

You stayed up all night talking about everything - your dreams and desires and even the things that scare or embarrass you. But then, as the relationship went a long, you stopped talking about so much. Everything became so heavy and meaningful.

In the beginning, things were great. There was a level of trust and open communication that created intimacy and understanding. So, what happened to that? Where did it go and how can you get it back?

I used to try to protect my partner from those heavy, bad moods and ugly thoughts. I went to my room and hung out until I felt like socializing again.

I thought I was noble in my ability to control what came out of my mouth.

I thought I was kind because I never let on what I was thinking.

But what I was doing was ruining my relationships. There was no relationship. I was cutting myself off from others and never allowing them to know me. They never knew what I was thinking or feeling or needing.

I was an island. A very lonely island.

I really thought that if I let people know the ugly thoughts, not only would they be hurt - but they would probably become angry and disown me - betray me, talk shit behind my back. I would be the outcast.

So I beat them to the punch! Hah! I'd banish myself to my own room (or apartment, as I got older). I'd banish myself to silence.

You can either have a N.I.C.E. (Not Interested in Connecting Emotionally) relationship... where you hide what is true out of fear. Or you can have an alive, real relationship with intimacy, compassion and understanding.

Some people withhold from their partner and add an extra zinger -- they put on a show of pain and discomfort in order to punish them. It's an effort to communicate just how much pain they're in. But none of it's verbalized. It's a show of the pain.

When you start keeping secrets and withholding,.. when you cut off the sharing of life force between you,... you're cutting off the intimacy in your relationship. Even if you think you're protecting your partner from painful or embarrassing thoughts - it's still destroying your relationship.

Relationships require sharing... both our dreams and desires along with our doubts and fears.

What are you feeling and what needs of yours are being met or not? ...

I'm happy because my need for support in keeping our home is being met.

I'm disappointed because my need for partnership isn't being met in the way we're handling our finances.

I'm sad because my need for connection isn't being met when you're out with your friends every evening.

You can find out more about this style of intimate communication, along with other advice on building healthy, intimate relationships, at our website: www MagicRelationship dot com.

Another tip: when you offer your feelings and needs, it's best to follow them with a request. If you offer them without a request, your partner won't know why you're giving them the information.

Do you want to be just heard?

Do you want advice?

Do you want to come up with a strategy for meeting your needs? Why the heck are you telling me this?

Often, a comment without a request will be taken as blame... which will lead to fixing, fighting or fleeing. Don't leave your poor partner hanging.

Paul and I recommend asking, "Would you tell me what you heard me say?" (Avoid saying 'could'- it implies they aren't intelligent enough to repeat you. And avoid saying "What did I say?" because what you said and what they heard are two different things.)

And one more tip: don't think that little behaviors are enough to be warranted as 'sharing feelings and needs.' Fixing your honey a cup of coffee in the morning is very sweet, but it may not communicate your feelings of love and contentment like actually verbalizing the information. "I love you so much", PLUS the cup of coffee goes much further.

Frowning and throwing around the bed covers while you make the bed may not adequately communicate your feelings and needs, either.

Instead, say: "I'm feeling disappointed because my need for support around the house isn't being met. Would you be willing to discuss a way to help that would also meet your needs?"

There's no room for misinterpretation there.

Try it out this holiday season: make a pact with your beloved to share absolutely ALL your feelings and needs for one day - the good, the bad and the ugly. Then follow the information with a request.

Be prepared to spend some time processing and discussing those feelings and needs as they come up.

However, try to avoid getting into BLAMING and 'FAULT' behind the feelings and needs. That tends to end up in a free-for-all about evaluations and judgments - who's right and who's wrong. Try to stick with feelings, needs and requests.

Try to do this on a day when you'll have the time.

You won't want to get cut off because you have to run to pick up the kids right when you're getting to the heart of an issue that's snuck up silently between you.

You're going to want to stay and hold each other and talk it through... and feel the intimacy of clearing out all of those old, crusty feelings and unmet needs that have been clogging the flow of love.

Review Angels & Demon

2009-06-11T16:22:00.003+07:00

Movies are better, but far less hysterical than the "Da Vinci". Narrative is impossible,
efficiently provided by the blue-chip screenwriting team Akiva Goldsman and David Koepp, unfolds with the elegance of the locomotive or the Tintin comic episode of "Murder, She wrote." very good.
more MR.Howard combine the visual attraction of the mass-produced postcards with the mental stimulation that is easy crossword puzzle. This film is very exciting to enjoy.

Only one person may be offended by "Angels & Demons" is that they are in their adherence to the teachings of religion must be the popular acclaim through its excellence and originality. Therefore, it is not surprising that public reaction to this has been particularly quiet. Theology hyperventilation has been minimal, and Columbia Pictures has not been accused of falsifying history, or moral corruption in the civilization of the West.

This film is played by Tom Hanks in a minimalist fashion, the face of the threat stroboscopically worry wry grin, and Langdon is in solving its own right, a walking embodiment of the intellect seems skeptical, most of the time, have no thoughts in his head. and Once again, Mr. Hanks is accompanied by an international film star who is very interesting, in this case Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer ( "Munich," "Vantage Point"). He plays Vittoria Vetra, an Italian scientist - a special "bioentanglement physics" - the role is to serve not as a romantic foil.

when watching the Angels & Demons, spectators made taut and participate in a hurry. the way this film is very fast. Akan mambuat effect that we watch this film tercengan.

However, such films hollywood other fil incorporate this effect which may be spelled out quite redundant, because to make this film such as films sience fiction other.

Movies take this with a different background in the original book, but fans of this film, try watching this film.

Film yang baik, namun jauh lebih sedikit histeris daripada "Da Vinci". Naratif yang mustahil, efisien diberikan oleh blue-chip screenwriting tim Akiva Goldsman dan David Koepp, unfolds dengan keanggunan lokomotif dari Tintin atau komik episode of "Murder, She wrote." sangat baik. ditambah lagi MR.Howard menggabungkan daya tarik visual yang dihasilkan dari massa-kartu pos dengan stimulasi mental yang mudah crossword puzzle. membuat film ini sangat seru untuk dinikmati. Satu-satunya orang mungkin terganggu dengan "Angels & Demons" adalah mereka yang berada di dalam ketaatan mereka kepada ajaran agama yang populer yang harus memperoleh tepuk tangan sorak-nya melalui keunggulan dan orisinalitas. Oleh karena itu, tidak mengherankan bahwa reaksi publik sampai saat ini telah terutama tenang. Teologi hyperventilation telah minim, dan Columbia Pictures belum terdakwa yang memalsukan sejarah atau kerusakan di moral dari peradaban Barat. Film ini Dimainkan oleh Tom Hanks dalam mode minimalis tinggi, wajahnya stroboscopically gertak dari menyeringai mencong khawatir, dan Langdon adalah sesuatu yang dalam memecahkan sendiri kanan, jalan kaki perwujudan akal yang skeptis tampaknya, sebagian besar dari waktu, tidak memiliki pemikiran di kepalanya. dan Sekali lagi Bapak Hanks yang didampingi oleh seorang bintang film internasional yang sangat menarik, dalam hal ini Israel actress Ayelet Zurer ( "Munich", "Vantage Point"). Dia memutar Vittoria Vetra, seorang ilmuwan Italia - khusus "bioentanglement fisika" - yang peranannya adalah untuk melayani bukan sebagai romantis foil.

ketika menonton Angels & Demons, penonton ikut dibuat tegang dan tergesa-gesa. jalannya film ini sangat cepat. Efeknya akan mambuat kita yang menonton film ini tercengan.

Namun seperti Film-film hollywood lainnya fil ini memasukan efek yang mungkin bisa dibilang cukup berlebihan, karena membuat film ini seperti film-film sience fiction lainnya.

Film ini mengambil latar yang berbeda dengan yang ada di buku aslinya, namun bagi penggemar film ini, patutlah mencoba menonton film ini.

Angel & Airwaves - The Adventure Lyrics:

I wanna have the same last dream again,
the one where I wake up and I\'m alive.
Just as the four walls close me within,
my eyes are opened up with pure sunlight.
I\'m the first to know,
my dearest friends,
even if your hope has burned with time,
anything that\'s dead shall be re-grown,
and your vicious pain, your warning sign,
you will be fine.

Hey, oh, here I am,
and here we go, life\'s waiting to begin.

Any type of love - it will be shown,
like every single tree reach for the sky.
If you\'re gonna fall,
I\'ll let you know,
that I will pick you up
like you for I,
I felt this thing,
I can\'t replace.
Where everyone was working for this goal.
Where all the children left without a trace,
only to come back, as pure as gold,
To recite this all.

Hey, oh, here I am,
and here we go, life\'s waiting to begin.
Tonight,
hey, oh, here I am,
and here we go, life\'s waiting to begin.
Tonight,
hey, oh, here I am,
and here we go, life\'s waiting to begin.

I cannot live, I can\'t breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can\'t breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can\'t breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can\'t breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can\'t breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can\'t breathe
unless you do this with me

Hey, oh, here I am (do this with me),
and here we go, life\'s waiting to begin (do this with me).
Hey, oh, here I am (do this with me).
And here we go, life\'s waiting to begin,
life\'s waiting to begin.

Pengenalan C#

2009-04-17T15:48:00.000+07:00

C# adalah Bahasa pemrograman (programming language) yang diluncurkan oleh Microsoft pada tahun 2000. C# dikembangkan oleh microsoft oleh tim yang dipimpin oleh Anders Hejlsberg dan Scott Wiltamuth.

C# memiliki kesamaan dengan C,C++,JAVA. sehingga memudahkan developer yang sudah terbiasa menggunakan bahasa C untuk mengggunakannya.

C# menggambil fitur-fitur terbaik dari ketiga bahasa tersebut, dan menambahkan fitur-fitur baru. C# adalah bahasa pemrograman objek oriented, dan memiliki class library yang sangat lengkap yang memiliki prebuild commponent sehingga memudahkan proggramer men-develop program lebih cepat. C# juga di standartrisasi oleh ECMA international pada bulan Desember 2002.

pada akhir tahun 2005 microsoft merilis net framework 2.0 bersamaan dengan paket Visual Studio. otomatis C# juga diperbaharui menjadi C# 2.0 yang berjalan diatas Net framework 2.0.

Pada versi baru ini banyak sekali fitur-fitur yang ditambahkan terutama pada pengembangan
aplikasi berbasis web dengan ASP.NET seperti (master page, site map control, user login, dll), juga.
penambahan generic collection yang sangat membantu dalam bekerja dengan object-object collection dan list.

Dengan menggunakan C#, kita dapat membuat berbagai aplikasi, seperti aplikasi console, windows form, aplikasi web, web services, dan untuk mobile device.

Jadi dengan menggunakan C# kita dapat membuat banyak aplikasi...:D
