If you’re interested in buying links from a web directory so that your sites will rank with the search engines, there are a number of factors you will want to take into consideration. First, there are a large number of directories available on the web. While some of them are high in quality, many of them are not. As an online business person, you must maximize your available resources, and this means you can’t afford to waste even small amounts of money on a directory that does not give you a good return on your investment. Before you spend money on a directory link, you must first run that directory through the proverbial “acid test.”

Is that a question? The act of blogging or, putting out personal, private, community or sub-cultural information, thoughts, opinions and communication for the masses is by no means a new idea. People have been forcing their opinions down other people’s throats since the dawn of man and the development of language and the written word. Beginning with writing on stone tablature to record accounting of goods and services to monks scribbling scripture to the invention of typesetting and the newspaper to radio to television to the Internet, human beings have wanted to express themselves verbally to a mass audience in order to effect change or simply stir things up. Blogging allows for the small, insignificant individual to bring to the world wide web his or her thoughts, musings and beliefs for better or worse.

So what is Apollo? Apollo is the code name for what Adobe calls “a cross-operating system runtime… that allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax) to build and deploy RIAs to the desktop.” Apollo’s desktop integration will include installation onto the desktop; application shortcuts, to which all users have already become accustomed; drag and drop capabilities; a clipboard, similar to the clipboards used by Microsoft Word programs; and notifications. Unlike current operating systems, though, Apollo will feature cross-application communication, enabling its many parts to communicate and function as a whole. Apollo’s greatest appeal, however, is that it will provide users with a set of APIs (File I/O, Drag and Drop, Full Network API, Local Storage and Settings, etc…) that will automatically synchronize online and offline content. Adobe plans to package Apollo along with Flash and Acrobat for ease of use. And like Flash, Apollo will be a free runtime for users. It will likely be downloaded along with Flash when users click the automated-prompt built into the site by the developer.

If you’re reading this, you already know that I’ve been blogging. I also recently started vlogging. If you haven’t already asked why, I’ll tell you. I felt that I have a lot to say and needed an outlet. No, not just some sort of random rant, but a means of sharing with others my views and opinions. And yes, I do seem to have quite a few! I also wanted to share with others more information about the business I conduct.

Of course I try to focus most of my communications on business related topics, however, I will on occasion take a tangent on life and other observations. I think this article would be categorized as a tangent. The point is I believe that I can provide a lot of good insight into business as well as some good general life guidance. Now don’t think that I think I’m all knowing and that I’m perfect or infallible, etc. It’s just that sometimes I notice things. Take it for what you will

Domain names (or DNS addresses for the geeks) are a system by which people like you and me can reach the computer we want and get the information without the hassle of remembering a sequence of seemingly unrelated numbers ( called IP addresses )

Domain names are further suffixed to provide the user with some means of identification of the nature of the website and a means of classification for the web sites themselves. These suffixes are referred to as top – level domains.

The common examples of these are .com, .org, .net, the newer .biz, .name, .info etc.

These suffixes help to provide further information about where the computer is located and what is it prime reason for existence i.e. for commercial purposes, non-profit organization, networking purposes or purely as a B-2-B site (business to business site).
