The big U.S media companies are at it again. This time they are striking Canada after trying to get SOPA approved in the United States, but met with lots of opposition from the internet community.

The large media companies however is also trying this in Europe with a law called ACTA, which is currently being protested by people in Europe. These laws do not serve anyone but the large corporations and give them too much power. The power to shut down websites for minor copyright infractions.

ZeroHegde has an article about “Job Creators, Internet Architects and Security Experts Hate SOPA”, have a read if you value “Freedom of Speech” on the internet. If S.O.P.A goes through you will see thousands upon thousands of websites shutdown, if the U.S government thinks it is violating copyright or against propaganda.

This is a great short documentary on Marc Andressen, the pioneer that built the visual / graphical web browser Mosaic (Netscape Navigator) and eventually got over 1 million users in the 1990’s and to now exploded into the internet we know today.

If you can get an invitation from an online survey company that is willing to pay you for your opinion, you are quite lucky. Generally, there are limited space when it comes to online surveys which pays you for your time to fill out a 5 to 25 minute long survey…the longer the survey usually the higher the online survey company will pay you. The rate they pay you can range from $3 to $12, and if you fill out the survey to a point, and you don’t qualify as the group of people they need, you usually would get like $0.50 for your 1 minute.

Let me just first say that 2009 was quite a negative and difficult year. Not only did the world economy took a dive, the stock markets were a little hard to play and jobs were disappearing faster than you can sneeze. I’m sure for a lot of people have felt the effects of last years downturn and can relate to what I just wrote.

Since I started back in 2005 tinkering with designing web sites and placing affiliate links on the website, I have come a long way working my web business part-time.  It is now at the end of 2009, and soon 2010 and from a percentage perspective the business is now making almost twice its cost, about 90% profit, before taxes.

Currently .com, .net, .us, .org, .info, .name, and .biz domains cost me $6.99 USD. However, this coming November which is only a few days away, 1and1 will be raising .com, .net, .us, .org, .info, .name, and .biz domain prices to $8.99 per year. That is a $2 difference, quite a bit…28.75% increase to be exact.

Year 2007 as the title of this post suggest was an extremely volatile year for me. At the beginning of 2007 I watched on CNN a gentleman from Hong Kong, talking about the Chinese pig or boar zodiac, and calendar prediction for 2007. The man said that usually years ending with the number 7 are very volatile, and he also mentioned that 2007 has metal, fire and water elements associated with it. Well, when you mix hot metal and water you get a lot of sizzle and volatility and that is exactly what I got for 2007.

A post on Paul Sloan “The Key” blog talks about Apple finally getting control or buying out the domain name iPhone.com. Apparently, iPhone.com use to point to a website that had a bunch of ads on it that sold cell phones, however the website did not sell iPhones, go figure. It was probably a MFA (Made For Adsense) site.

If you are unfamiliar with the term “domain tasting” than this is the post or article will help shed some light on the subject. Basically, domain tasting is when an individual or a business purchases a large amount of domains and parks them right away to test to see if there is any traffic on the domain name and also to see if the traffic can be converted into clicks which generate revenue. The two things they are looking for is “type-in” traffic and high “click-through-ratio (CTR). If the domain names they register makes more than what the domain name cost, then they keep the domain names, however if they don’t then of course the obvious route is to cancel the domain names.
