A fresh take on the browser - Annotated

All of us at Google spend much of our time working inside a browser. We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends — all using a browser. Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that’s what we set out to build.

Tweeting for Companies 101

“Twitter can be an amazingly powerful platform for connecting to your community as well as driving traffic to the various properties you want people to go. Having an event? Tweet it out! Launched a new bag? Tweet it out!

The key to Twitter is the level of listening you do as well as talking. It is definitely supposed to be an interactive program. And, in fact, this is where you build the majority of your Whuffie (aka social capital). The more you interact on Twitter, the more people will interact with you, which attracts others to you as well.”

“Brands That Suck on Twitter: I don’t write this post to be mean spirited; I write this post to simply call attention to brands and companies that are totally missing the boat and not listening on twitter where millions of conversations are happening everyday.

The Trouble with Twitter

Will twitter start using advertising? What do you think? Will you even care as a user?

“American users will see banner ads soon, and don’t be surprised if your message on dining out gets side-saddled with an ad for a local restaurant. And to be fair, Microsoft’s deal valued Facebook at 100 times its then-$150 million in estimated revenues. Similar hyperbole could turn Twitter’s $28 million revenue potential into a $2.8 billion valuation.”

10 Worst Web glitches of 2008 (so far)

“We have been reminded several times lately that Web 2.0 is in no way a synonym for “reliable.” Major services have crashed. Big product launches have fizzled. Users have raised their collective fists in the air. What’s going on? Is the Web crumbling? Well, no, it’s not. But users’ expectations are rising, and Web companies often get themselves into trouble by promising far more than they can deliver.”

Des Moines Register mentions TrustyPig Brand Hijack

Local bloggers - including Nathan T. Wright, Andy Brudtkuhl and Brett Trout - created posts and Twitter messages informing customers that TrustyPig was using the SmartyPig Web design features illegally.

Within a couple days, TrustyPig began replacing its Web designs, Gaskel said.

SmartyPig was launched early this year as the nation’s first online savings account with social networking capacity, where friends and family can contribute to savers’ accounts at West Bank to help meet specific savings goals.

TrustyPig’s Web site says it is an online marketing company. It’s not clear where the site operates from, but a post on it explains that the SmartyPig mistake occurred when “a programer from Romania and a designer from China” were hired to design Web pages.

Microsoft Data Center coming to West Des Moines

Microsoft is expected to announced tomorrow that it will bring its new data center to West Des Moines, sources familiar with the project say. The size of the project and employment are unavailable.

Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft said in July that it would bring a data center to the Des Moines area. The West Des Moines project is expected to be similar in size to a data center in San Antonio, Texas.

Microsoft said last year it’s building a $550 million data farm that will employ about 75 high-tech workers. The workers will earn an average of $70,000 annually.

Jerry Seinfeld: Microsoft’s New $10 Million Pitchman

Microsoft Corp., weary of being cast as a stodgy oldster by Apple Inc.’s advertising, is turning for help to Jerry Seinfeld.

The software giant’s new $300 million advertising campaign, devised by a newly hired ad agency, has been closely guarded. But Mr. Seinfeld will be one of the key celebrity pitchmen, say people close to the situation. He will appear with Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates in ads and receive about $10 million for the work, they say.

Microsoft Data Center in West Des Moines, IA

This “next-gen” facility will be different than the traditional data center, supposedly using the “container” model they have been working on. Basically a container is a semi-trailer (or shipping container that you see on barges and trains). Within this container are 1,000 - 2,000 servers. These containers are, literally, trailers that can be hauled in via trucks to scale the system. Microsoft has built a similar data center in Chicago that has two floors. Currently, the entire first floor is made up of 150-200 of these containers.

Microsoft Embraces Data Center Containers

“The entire first floor of Chicago is going to be containers,” Microsoft director of data center services Michael Manos said this morning in his keynote at Data Center World in Las Vegas. “This represents our first container data center. The containers are going to be dropped off and plugged into network cabling and power.” The second floor of the immense facility will be a traditional raised-floor data center, Manos said.

West Des Moines site of new Microsoft data center

Microsoft Corp. has selected West Des Moines as the site of its new $500 million data center.

The center will be built on a 42-acre parcel at the intersection of Booneville Road and Xavier Place and will house large-scale World Wide Web services for Microsoft’s online services business. It will employ 50 to 75 people, with an average salary $70,000.

Culver to announce Microsoft picks West Des Moines site

Microsoft is creating 75 full-time jobs paying an average annual salary of up to $70,000 at that center.

To receive the Iowa tax breaks signed Feb. 28 by Culver, Microsoft must invest at least $200 million in the state.

Last year the state approved a measure that helped persuade Google to build a $600 million data center near Council Bluffs. That package exempted electricity purchases and capital investments from the state’s sales tax.

Fusioncube > Enable multiple sessions in Firefox

Run separate sessions in different Firefox windows

“Then browsing around yesterday, I discovered this little known environment variables - MOZ_NO_REMOTE - that makes this magic happen. Therefore, there’s two ingredients to getting this to work.

1. Firefox profiles
2. MOZ_NO_REMOTE

To make multiple profiles for Firefox, simply run “Firefox.exe -P” from a command line. This opens up the Profile Manager. Create as many profiles that you feel you’ll need independent sessions. Then create a shortcut to Firefox.exe on your desktop or quickbar for each profile you made. Right click the icon for each shortcut and open the properties window. In the Target field you need to specify which profile to use when launching Firefox like this - “F:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” -P “ProfileA”

Then just create a new environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE with a value of 1.

Then you can click each Firefox icon and you’ll have a seperate session for each of your browser windows. Have fun.”
