Mei 2011, 100 Ribu Warga Inggris Tutup Akun Facebook

Facebook (ilustrasi)Bosan dengan media sosial? Tutup akun Facebook? Anda mungkin bukan yang pertama.
Khawatir akan data privasi bocor atau mungkin bosan dengan Facebook, 100 ribu orang Inggris menutup akun Facebook mereka bulan lalu. Fakta "bosan" akan Facebook terlihat menarik. Sekitar enam juta orang Amerika Serikat menutup laman jejaring sosial untuk kebaikan.
Di seluruh dunia, angka pertumbuhan Facebook menyusut dalam dua bulan terakhir dimana laman jejaring sosial itu mengejar visi untuk memiliki pengguna aktif lebih dari satu miliar. Oleh karena itu, Facebook menyasar negara berkembang untuk menggenjot angka penggunanya. Angka-angka itu menunjukan ada kemungkinan "batas alami" kejenuhan orang akan Facebook.
Bahkan beredar spekulasi di blog-blog bahwa kekhawatiran kejatuhan seperti yang dialami rivalnya, MySpace, website itu bisa "dilupakan" dalam sehari.
Awal tahun ini, eksekutif Facebook mengumumkan angka pengguna jejaring sosialnya  di Inggris mencapai 30 juta, atau setengah dari populasi.
Tonggak sejarah ini merupakan peningkatan sekitar empat juta dari Juli tahun lalu dan mewakili kejenuhan tertinggi di negara Eropa. Tapi waktu pun berubah dan bulan lalu lebih dari 100 ribu orang di Inggris berhenti membuka Facebook.
Di Amerika Serikat, pengguna Facebook turun dari 155,2 juta pengguna menjadi 149,4 juta pada Mei. Di Kanada, angka pengguna Facebook juga turun sekitar 1,5 juta, sementara di Rusia dan Norwegia merosot lebih dari 100 ribu pengguna.
Tapi itu merupakan berita buruk untuk Facebook. Di seluruh dunia, Facebook masih merajai dengan 600 juta pengguna berkat pertumbuhan gemilang di Meksiko dan Brasil.
Menurut Eric Eldon dari laman Inside Facebook, dia mendapatkan angka-angka tersebut dari sebuah analisis perusahaan periklanan. Ada kemungkinan bahwa laman itu (Facebook) tidak akan tumbuh kecuali ia sudah berdiri kokoh di negara tersebut.
"Seiring berjalannya waktu, Facebook berhasil mengumpulkan sekitar 50 % dari total populasi dalam suatu negara tertentu, umumnya pertumbuhan yang lambat lalu berhenti," katanya menjelaskan.
Pakar psikologis Internet Graham Jones memprediksi pengguna Facebook akan menderita sejenis 'kebosanan', kebosanan sendiri datang kapan saja kepada laki-laki dan perempuan, akhirnya orang akan mencoba hal yang baru.
Dia mengatakan, "Orang bisa sangat bersemangat dengan sesuatu yang baru dan setelahnya rasa itu akan segera pudar. Walaupun itu sebuah acara TV seri baru sekali pun, setiap orang akan berpikir ini adalah acara yang fantastis pada permulaan dan buruk di akhir," katanya.
Ia menambahkan bahwa dalam setiap aspek kehidupan, kita semua suka pada hal yang baru dan hal itu terjadi pada Facebook," katanya.
"Alasan Facebook sangat menarik karena Facebook adalah laman besar pertama yang dapat menyambungkan komunikasi antara sesama orang-orang," katanya. Ia menambahkan bahwa manusia adalah makluk sosial dan hingga lima tahun yang lalu tidak memiliki laman untuk berkomunikasi secara langsung.
Facebook telah dilanda keprihatinan tentang privasi, teknologi terbarunya adalah pengenalan wajah yang mana para komentator menggambarkannya jelek. Laman itu muncul sejak Mark Zuckerberg pada 2004 membuatnya, di sebuah kamar tidur di Harvard University.
Facebook telah menjadi laman jejaring sosial terbesar di dunia dan membuatnya (Zuckerberg) menjadi orang terkaya ke-52 di dunia dengan kekayaan pribadi senilai 8,2 milyar poundsterling.
Pada 2008, Facebook memiliki sekitar 100 juta pengguna, lalu pengguna laman itu berkembang menjadi 600 juta hanya dalam waktu tiga tahun.
Seorang juru bicara Facebook mengatakan, "Dari waktu ke waktu, kita mendengar cerita tentang merosotnya pengguna Facebook di beberapa daerah."
"Beberapa laporan itu menggunakan data yang diambil dari alat iklan kami yang memberikan perkiraan luas pencapaian iklan Facebook dan tidak dirancang untuk menjadi sumber untuk melacak pertumbuhan secara keseluruhan.
"Kami sangat senang dengan pertumbuhan kami dan dengan cara orang yang terlibat dengan Facebook," katanya. "Lebih dari 50 persen pengguna aktif kami masuk ke Facebook dalam setiap hari tertentu," katanya dikutip Daily Mail

Internet di Indonesia Baru Dimanfaatkan Sebatas Untuk Ber-Facebook dan Twitter




Internet di Indonesia Baru Dimanfaatkan Sebatas Untuk Ber-Facebook dan Twitter
Diambil dari REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MATARAM--Kampanye penggunaan internet secara sehat harus terus digalakkan. EGM Divisi Telkom Flexi, Triana Mulyatsa, mengatakan kampanye internet sehat perlu untuk memberikan pemahaman kepada para siswa tentang bagaimana memanfaatkan teknologi internet untuk memudahkan mereka menggali berbagai informasi yang berhubungan dengan pelajaran mereka secara luas.
Menurut dia, Indonesia merupakan negara pengguna internet tertinggi di dunia, namun hampir 90 persen dimanfaatkan untuk hal-hal yang kurang produktif. "Internet di Indonesia kebanyakan dimanfaatkan untuk Facebook, Twitter dan mengakses beberapa situs yang tidak begitu bermanfaat, sehingga terkesan waktu terbuang untuk mengerjakan sesuatu yang tidak produktif," ujarnya, dalam Kampanye Internet Sehat yang digelar di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) Negeri 3 Mataram
Akibat penggunaan yang tak produktif itu, kebanyakan orang menilai teknologi internet memiliki dampak negatif terutama bagi kalangan anak-anak. "Padahal tanpa internet hal-hal negatif itu sudah ada. Oleh sebab itu jangan jadikan internet sebagai kambing hitam," katanya.
Menurutnya, sebaiknya  mengakses internet untuk keperluan pendidikan. "Manfaatkanlah akses yang terbuka luas ke beragam sumber itu untuk menggali ilmu sebanyak-banyaknya," pesannya.
Hadir dalam kegiatan itu ratusan siswa dari sejumlah SMK di Kota Mataram, Wakil Ketua DPRD Kota Mataram H Didi Sumardi, dan Wakil Kepala SMK Negeri 3 Mataram Syaifuddin.

Toko Online Amazon dengan Google Adsense Menggunakan Script CSS

Setelah sekian lama bergelut dengan Astore Amazon dan browsing kesana kemari untuk mencari bagaimana bila Astore Amazon bisa berdiri sendiri di script CSS ?. Setelah browsing muter muter baru menemukan blog yang mengulas hal itu yaitu di blog tipis.web.id dimana dijelaskan bagaimana cara menggabungkan Astore Amazon dengan Google Adsense atau Ads yang lain.
Baik sedikit saya jelaskan lagi, langkah pertama yang harus kita punya adalah hosting dan domain sendiri. kalau lagi coba coba mending daftar hosting gratis di sini serta  domain gratis di sini.Kemudian  langkah selanjutnya adalah download script CSS dan ikuti petunjuknya. Bila sudah di ikuti semua petunjuknya maka hasilnya kira-kira akan seperti contoh di bawah ini  :






Selamat mencoba, semoga berhasil dan mendapatkan penjualan.

Anelka Si Bengal dari Versailles

Waduh, belum pernah menang... harus berjibaku di pertandingan terakhir, eh.. perpecahan malah terjadi di kubu Prancis. Striker Nicolas Anelka diusir pulang lantaran memaki pelatih Raymond Domenech.
Prancis -- sejauh ini -- gagal mengemban statusnya sebagai tim favorit di Grup A. Alih-alih tampil bagus Prancis malah dibuat pontang-panting oleh Uruguay yang memaksa mereka bermain 0-0 di laga pertama. Setelah itu, Les Blues -- julukan mereka -- dibantai Meksiko 0-2.
Alhasil, laga terakhir melawan tuan rumah Afrika Selatan, Selasa besok, akan jadi pertaruhan muka Ayam Jantan. Persiapan menghadapi laga penting ini justru ditambah dengan kasus Anelka. Ceritanya, pemain 31 tahun itu memaki Domenech ketika diganti di babak kedua oleh Andre Pierre Cignac. Setelah Anelka keluar barulah Javier Hernandez dan Cuauhtemoc Blanco mencetak gol.
Presiden Federasi Sepakbola Prancis (FFF) Jean-Pierre Escalettes sempat memanggil Anelka, kapten Patrice Evra, dan Domenech. Anelka diminta membuat permintaan maaf resmi kepada publik Prancis, pelatih, staf dan rekan-rekannya di timnas Prancis. Tapi striker Chelsea itu menolak dan Prancis-pun mendepaknya.
Cerita seru Anelka-Prancis-Domenech adalah cerita panjang. Tak dipanggil ke Piala Dunia 1998, Anelka baru tampil di kompetisi internasional pada Euro 2000 saat Prancis menjadi juara. Setelah itu selama enam tahun 2001-2007 ia kehilangan tempat karena sering gonta-ganti klub. Chelsea yang diperkuatnya saat ini adalah klub ke-9 Anelka sejak memulai karier tahun 1995.
Ketika Djibril Cisse cedera menjelang Piala Dunia 2006, Domenech memanggil pemain Lyon Sidney Govou, bukan Anelka yang menyebut keputusan itu sebagai, "keputusan yang memalukan. Saya siap bermain di Piala Dunia. Saya bisa membantu Prancis," katanya saat itu.
Nah, Piala Dunia 2010 menjadi Piala Dunia pertama bagi Anelka. Ia menjadi kunci di playoff Piala Dunia 2010 melawan Irlandia setelah mencetak gol tunggal ketika menang 1-0 di leg pertama. Prancis sendiri lolos secara kontroversial karena handball Thierry Henry.
Kini Anelka menyatakan pensiun dengan rekornya 14 gol di 64 pertandingan.

Refferal by Paypal


How does it work?
When the merchant you refer signs up for a Business or Premier PayPal account, you are eligible to receive a Merchant Referral Bonus. The bonus amount is a percentage of the funds received by your referral using PayPal's Website Payments or Send Money features.

You will receive an initial monthly bonus, equivalent to 0,5% of the new merchant's net sales, as soon as that merchant reaches $200,00 USD in sales. Every 30 days for the next 12 months, you will receive a bonus of 0,5% of the new merchant's monthly net sales. The maximum total bonus you can receive is $1.000,00 USD.

How do I refer someone?
There are two ways you can refer a merchant:

Send an email with a personalized referral link.
Add a referral logo to your website.
For your personalized link or referral logo and instructions on how to use them, log in to your PayPal account, and click the Referrals link at the bottom of the page.

Who can I refer to PayPal?
You may only refer individuals with whom you have a pre-existing personal or business relationship, and those who do not already have a PayPal account. You may not refer names obtained from group email addresses or email mailing lists, or yourself.

Does a merchant's eBay sales count toward my bonus?
No, the Merchant Referral Bonus program rewards referrals of non-eBay merchants only. Payments that the merchant receives from the sale of eBay items will not count toward the Merchant Referral Bonus.

Is there a limit to the number of Merchant Referral Bonuses I can earn?
No, for a limited time, there are no restrictions on the number of Merchant Referral Bonuses you can earn. You can earn up to $1.000,00 USD for each referral.

I referred a merchant, but haven't received a bonus yet. Why?
There are a few reasons why you may not have received your bonus. The merchant you referred may have mistakenly signed up for a Personal account instead of a Business or Premier account. Also, payments that the merchant receives from the sale of eBay items will not count toward the Merchant Referral Bonus. Finally, the merchant may not have yet received $200,00 USD in payments – the minimum amount for you to receive your initial payout.

Shouldn't I have received my $1.000,00 USD bonus for my referral all at once?
The payout, equivalent to 0,5% of the referred merchant's monthly revenue, occurs every 30 days for the first 12 months of the new merchant's account. Depending on the amount of revenue generated by the merchant, you can receive up to $1.000,00 USD. Revenue that the merchant receives from the sale of eBay items will not count toward the Merchant Referral Bonus.

If I refer a merchant, how long do I get to receive bonuses?
You are eligible to receive Merchant Referral Bonus payouts for the first 12 months of the referred merchant's account, or until the payouts reach a total of $1.000,00 USD, whichever occurs first.

When you signup for PayPal, you can start accepting credit card payments instantly. As the world's number one online payment service, PayPal is the fastest way to open your doors to over 150 million member accounts worldwide.
Best of all, it's completely free to sign up!

hey , new free keyword research tool
Hey }, I know you're likely very busy so I won't take much of your time.
I just had to tell you about a brand new, free keyword research tool that Brad Callen
just released.

It allows you to browse Google and view the Adwords keywords of ANY Adwords advertiser!
Basically, it's a small file that gets installed into your web browser (i.e. Firefox).

When you do a Google search, the software automatically places a "view keywords" button
below every single Adwords advertiser.

Click the "view keywords" button and really neat popup window appears that not only shows
you the keywords that any Adwords advertiser is bidding on, but it also shows you a
TON of other information, like how much they're paying per click and so on.

It's awesome.

Anyway, here is the link where you can download the software, and it doesn't cost anything.

=> http://www.ppcwebspy.com/downloads/?xcda19

Hope you're having a great week and I'll talk to you soon.

maman
P.S. Here's the link where you can get the free Adwords keyword tool again:

ClickBank Referral Program


You can earn extra commission by referring additional product vendors to ClickBank. At this time, we do not have a referral program for referring new affiliates.

When you refer a vendor who activates their account you earn 20% of the $49.95 activation charge. Additionally, you earn 5% of ClickBank’s typical markup of each sale that your recruited vendor makes for one calendar year.

ClickBank’s typical markup on every sale is $1 + 7.5% of the sale price, so you earn about $0.09 to $0.99 on every sale. See the referral commissions chart below:

$10 sale = $0.09 commission
$20 sale = $0.13 commission
$30 sale = $0.16 commission
$40 sale = $0.20 commission
$50 sale = $0.24 commission
$100 sale = $0.42 commission
$150 sale = $0.61 commission
$200 sale = $0.80 commission
$250 sale = $0.99 commission

Here are the steps to get started using the ClickBank Referral Program:

Start promoting ClickBank on your site
Use the special Referral HopLink (i.e., reseller link shown below) to drive new vendors to ClickBank sign up
When new vendors register via your Referral HopLink, you earn a 20% commission on the activation charge paid when the vendor activates their account
In addition, you automatically earn 5% of ClickBank’s markup on every sale made by that vendor for a full calendar year after their initial signup date
Referred vendors are tracked when they create an account after clicking on your Referral HopLink. Referral HopLinks should be in the following format:

http://AFFILIATE.reseller.hop.clickbank.net

Here it is in HTML:

CLICK HERE

To make it work:

Replace AFFILIATE with your ClickBank nickname.
Replace CLICK HERE with any promotional text or image you prefer.
The 20% of our activation charge ($9.99) that you earn when a referred vendor signs up will appear under transaction type “bons-0001″ in the transaction detail. Your 5% of our markup for all sales made by that vendor for a full year appear as transaction type “bons-0001″ in the transaction detail.

FAQ
Q: Does the vendor get paid less because I am earning a commission on his sales?

A: No. ClickBank pays all referral commissions. For that reason, you cannot refer yourself or anyone who already has an account with us.

Mencari uang tambahan lewat Internet


Siapa sih yang tidak mau uang tambahan ... ??? Pasti mau semua, banyak cara untuk mencari uang tambahan salah satu diantaranya memlaui dunia Maya (internet)
Berikut akan sedikit saya jelaskan metode mendapatkan uang tambahan lewat internet :

1. Melalui Carding
Jalan yang satu ini merupakan jalan yang sesat (dosa) karena Carding merupakan kegiatan mneghack kartu kredit orang lain sehingga bisa kita gunakan, bisa buat belanja
ataupun apa saja, untuk caranya banyaks ekali tutorial-turial yang membahasnya. disini saya tidak akan membeberkan tentang carding ini, takut disa bro...

2.Hacking
dalam hacking ini ada 2 aliran ada yang aliran putih ada yang aliran hitam, untuk aliran hitam biasanya mereka menghack sutu web untuk kepentingan pribadi artinya untuk
mendapatkan uang sebanyak-banyaknya. sedangkan untuk aliran putih biasanya mereka menghack suatu software untuk mendapatkan serial atau keygen dan kemudian mempublishnya
atau membagikannya di internet, yah walaupun ada ynag mesti bayar, itu setimpal dengan jerih payah mereka.

3.Blogging
Nah, ini yang paling menrik dan halal !!! , mungkin blogging sudah tidak asing lagi buat sebagian orang, ya benar blogging pada awalnya cuma merupakan situs pribadi atau
bisa di bilang diarinya seseorang, namaun belakangan ini banyak para blogger yang bisa meraih dollar ataupun rupiah lewat blog tersebut, BAGAIMANA CARANYA ? pasti pertanyaan
tersebut yang terpintas dipikiran kamu semua,... oke langsung saja untuk blogging ini tentu saja kamu harus memiliki blog ataupun situs web.. GIMANA CARA BUATNYA ? untuk cara
blog tunggu artikel saya selanjutnya.
Ok, balik lagi ke blog, membuat blog bisa menggunakan beberapa alternatif, berikut situs-situs yang menyediakan pembuatan blog yang tentunya GRATISS!!! :

a. Blogspot (www.blogspot.com)
untuk situs ini nantinya alamat yang kamu punya http://situskamu.blogspot.com , situskamu itu nama situs yang kamu buat.
b. Wordpress (www.wordpress.com)
untuk situs ini nantinya alamat yang kamu dapat http://situskamu.wordpress.com, SItus kamu itu nama situs yang kamu buat.
c. Multiply (www.multiply.com)
untuk multiply ini alamat yang kamu dapat http://situskamu.multiply.com
d. Friendster (www.friendster.com)
untuk yang ini kamu haru spunya account friendster terlebih dahulu.

dan masih banyak lagi layanan-layanan penyedia pembuatan blog GRATISS, tinggal kamu pilih salah satu yang sreg dengan kamu.

SETELAH buat blog gimana cara dapat Uang tambahan tersebut ???
Baiklah langsung saja saya coba uraikan cara mendapatkan DOllar ataupun rupiah lewat blog :
1. Menjadi Affiliater
aPa itu affiliater ? affiliater berasal dari kata affiliate yaitu mempromosikan suatu produk, dimana apabila ada transaksi, kita mendapatkan komisi.
Makin banyak kamu mengikuti affiliate makin besar pula kesempatan kamu untuk mendapatkan dollar atau rupiah.
caranya nanti saya akan publish diartikel saya selanjutnya (yang penting prinsipnya paham dulu)
2. Menjadi Refferal
Apa itu Refferal ? Referall adalah mengajak orang untuk bergabung atau dengan kata lain merefferensikan orang untuk membeli produk tersebut.
Makin banyak orang yang kamu ajak makin banyak pula dollar atau rupiah yang kamu dapat.
3. Melalui program Adsende
untuk yang ini kamu tinggal pasang scrift iklan suatu situs dan apabila orang HANYA MENGKLIK Iklan tersebut maka kamu dapat komisi, untuk yang taraf intrnational
yang terkenal adalah Google adesense, tapi untuk yang lokal juga banyak seperti adsensecamp , ppcinbox , ppcindo , ppcmuslim dan masih banyak lagi , untuk cara
dan detailny tunggu Artikel saya yang berjudul meraup daolar dari Adsense
4. Ikutan Review
yang ini memang agak sulit tapi tidak untuk yang suka menulis, caranya kamu ikutan review misalnya kamu disuruh menulis tentang komputer, maka tulislah sebaik-baiknya
dan publish di blog kamu, nanti team dari review tersebut akan menilai dan apabila kamu masuk kriteria kamu akan mendapatkan dollar tentunya.
5. Ikutan program Pay per Klik , Pay per Transaction dll,

Nah dari situ kamu bisa bayangkan berapa dollar atau rupiah yang kamu dapat tiap bulan, bisa..bisa.. lebih besar dari gaji kamu sekarang he..he...he...
FYI, temen-temen saya di blogger ada yang mencapai 15 Juta rupiah perbulan, ada yang $500 perbulan yah bervariasi tergantung sejauhmana usaha kita.
Ok, bro.. ini dulu artikenya , semoga menjadi pemacu, penyemangat untuk terus berkarya dan cari uang sebanyak-banyaknya mumpung masih muda ....







Klik Duit


Dalam benakmu, mungkin masih ada pertanyaan, apa benar dari

internet bisa menghasilkan uang? Jawabannya tentu saja “ya”.

Contohnya banyak sekali. Misalnya dengan mengikuti google

adsense, adbrite, pay to click dan lain-lain. Kesemuanya itu,

tergolong bisnis internet marketing. Akan tetapi dalam artikel

ini, saya akan mengupas bisnis internet marketing, tentang pay

to click.

Secara singkat, pay to click berarti kamu dibayar untuk

mengklik iklan. Artinya kamu tidak harus membuat blog, situs

dan lain sebagainya. Kamu hanya perlu mendaftar, lalu mengikuti

program yang telah ditentukan. Misalnya mengklik iklan setiap

hari untuk menghasilkan uang. Semakin banyak jumlah iklan yang

di-klik, berarti semakin banyak uang yang akan kamu hasilkan.

Saya sangat yakin, sudah banyak artikel yang membahas masalah

ini. Akan tetapi yang saya dapati hanya sebatas promosi.

Akhirnya para clicker (member pay to click), yang tertarik

dengan promosi tersebut, merasa bingung apa yang harus

dilakukan setelah mendaftar.

Oleh karena itu, dalam kesempatan ini saya akan berbagi

kepadamu. Bagaimana menghasilkan uang dengan hanya mengklik

iklan. Selanjutnya saya memberikan contoh salah satu pay to

click yang saya baru saja ikuti. Dalam hal ini saya contohkan

bux.to. Sejak beberapa lama “server” bux.to belum pernah

“down”. Artinya saya yakin bux.to bisa kamu ikuti dengan

artikel ini. Saya yakin, jika kamu dapat memahami contoh yang

saya berikan, maka untuk program pay to click yang lain, kamu

tidak akan mengalami kesulitan.

Setelah kamu mendaftar di bux.to, kamu harus login. isikan user

name dan password yang digunakan pada waktu mendaftar. Setelah

itu, kamu langsung mengklik [surf ads] yang berarti iklan yang

telah disediakan untuk di-klik. Disana terdapat beberapa link

iklan yang belum belum bergaris. Artinya kamu dianggap belum

mengklik iklan. Silahkan kamu klik iklan tersebut. Setiap iklan

yang kamu klik, maka akan membuka tab/jendela baru. Kamu

perhatikan disana iklan tersebut ditampilkan. Kamu harus

menunggu sekitar 30 detik sampai muncul tulisan “done”. Atau

lambang lain yang menunjukkan kalau kamu sudah sukses mengklik

iklan tersebut. Setelah itu kamu bisa klik pada bagian link

iklan yang lain. Hal yang terpenting adalah munculnya “done”

pada iklan tersebut.

Setelah itu, kamu bisa melihat jumlah uang dari hasil

“perjuangan” iklan yang kamu klik. Caranya dengan mengklik

tombol status [my stats]. Disana ada beberapa informasi

penting. Misalnya jumlah uang yang kamu hasilkan, jumlah klik

yang telah dilakukan, dan lain sebagainya. Hasilnya pasti uang

kamu sangat sedikit. Besabarlah, sesuatu yang besar dimulai

dari hal yang kecil terlebih dahulu.

Ok, sepertinya secara singkat kamu telah paham bagaimana cara

mengikuti program bux.to ini. Kamu perlu mencoba. Jika kamu

tidak pernah berani mencoba, besar kemungkinan kamu ga akan

pernah berhasil.

Sekedar tambahan

Jika kamu ingin menambah/mempercepat banyak buang yang kamu

hasilkan, maka kamu perlu referral (orang yang menjadi

membermu). Caranya Kamu bisa membeli referral. Atau kamu perlu

membuat blog atau situs dan sejenisnya yang isinya memuat

banner iklan dari bux.to atau pay to click lain. Jika ada orang

yang mengklik banner iklan untuk daftar dari (misalnya)

blog-mu, maka kamu akan mendapatkan referral. Semakin banyak

referral, semakin banyak iklan yang di-klik oleh referral, maka

uang akan semakin banyak mengalir. Kamu tidak perlu khawatir,

kalau banner dalam blog-mu tidak akan yang meng-klik. Asalkan

blogmu “menarik” pengunjung pasti akan mencobanya.

kamu ingin mencoba silahkan daftar Disini

Download Free Music Legally


Are you scared that the RIAA is about to track you down for illegally downloading songs.
Well, here is a method of obtaining many songs absolutely free that is virtually untrackable
by modern technology. This has to do with capturing streaming audio, which in many cases, believe it or not
are plain old mp3s just waiting for you to "download." I have found most of the current top-40 as well as many others you may like, so keep searching. The music is waiting for you to find it.

Step 1:
First of all, you need to find a good site that hosts streaming audio. My favorite that has brought me many songs to date is hxxp://www.windowsmedia.com . Some others are just as good, but this is the site that I will be referencing (plus, I know you guys love to steal from Microsoft).

Step 2:
Alright, go up to the left hand corner where there is an empty text box. This is the search box, just fill it with a songname or artist just like you would in kazaa and click search. This will bring up a page with links to many websites hosting a stream by that artist. The ones with music notes are just that...music, this is what you want. In many cases, this is all you need. Just right click on one of the links and click "save as" to save the song. This works if the file extension is .mp3 or .wma or .asf or well-other known formats. If this worked, you are finished, otherwise continue reading.

Step 3:
However, if you encounter a .asx file, there are a few more steps you will have to endure. First of all, do exactly like the above example and save the file locally. After the file is downloaded, check to see how large the file is. If it is a large file in the megabyte range, then you should be able to play it in your favorite music program. However, if it is less than 1 kilobyte, open it as a textfile. You will then see many script commands that communicate to windows media player. Don't worry about these, just look for some URLs which will most likely be pointing to a .asf file. It will have at least one if not more. Open the new found URL in your browser and save it like in step 2 and you should be good to go. (I use Mozilla, because Internet Explorer likes to open things rather than save them as I tell it)

NOTE: If any of the URLs are preceded with "mms://" instead of "http://" find another URL, because this technique will not work.

This technique is especially useful to avoid prosecution because streaming audio, and downloading it appear the same to a web server, therefore you are seen as just another "legal" listener, so "download" away my friend and don't blame me if this soon becomes illegal (if it isn't already).

Step 4:
If you are picky then search for a program that will convert these file types to mp3s. I assure you there are many sites out there.

If this technique does not work for some reason, there is another technique which is manually recording streaming audio, with an audio capture program. I use the one that came with my soundcard (Audigy 2ZS, great soundcard), but I would recommend it only as a last resort such as with "mms://" files. There is a degredation in quality compared to the other formats and it records every sound your PC makes while it is recording so don't chat on AIM while recording (lol I can hear random doors slamming now).

Flashget Integration in Opera Mozila and Nestcape


1ST -> DOWNLOAD THIS: http://www.amazesoft.com/npfg11.exe
THEN:
Opera5&6 & Netscape6.x, 7.x, Mozilla 1.x and Mozilla Firefox 0.x
Please download FlashGet Opera Plug-in 1.1. Install this plug-in into ...\Opera\Plugins or ...\Netscape6\Plugins or ..\Mozilla\Plugins or ..\FireFox\plugins directory.
Netscape 6 does not support the same click monitoring methods used by FlashGet with previous versions of Netscape. They left out the features that have been there since Netscape Version 1.0. For now, you must either:
Right click the links and do "Copy Link Location".
Or, the plugins used for FlashGet's Opera click monitoring do work in Netscape--with some quirks and differences from the other click monitoring. Just install FlashGet's Opera plugins into the ...\Netscape\Plugins directory.
Menuitem "Download by FlashGet" in Mozilla FireFox
FlashGot is an extension for integrating FlashGet and Mozilla Firefox 0.9 or later. It is available on Mozilla Update. Note that some antivirus software may incorrecly claim that it has a virus, as it uses Visual Basic Script (.vbs) files when integrating with Internet Explorer. Thanks Giorgio Maone.
Menuitem "Download by FlashGet" in Opera
see How Customizing Opera's context-menus.

Opera 7
Install this plug-in into ...\Opera7\Plugins and enable it in Opera(Menu->File->Preferences...)

NetCaptor
Must use monitor method 2 in FlashGet(default setting), also need enable "Brower help object" in netcaptor options/general.

2: MENU ITEM -> DOWNLOAD USING FLASHGET!!!

Customizing Opera's context-menus
=================================
Build #040912

What's this about?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using Opera 7.x one is able to customize the rightclick menus. That in
mind it's possible to add a menu item for "Download using FlashGet".
First you need to know, that every kind of menu entry in Opera is
saved as plaintext in standard_menu.ini in the Opera defaults folder
(normally C:\Program Files\Opera7\defaults). So, we need to modify this
file in order to add our FlashGet menu extension.

Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Opera 7.0 or above
- FlashGet 1.60 or above

Here we go!
~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Get the folder where Opera is installed. See the registry at

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\5.0, Opera\Main]
"Install Directory"="C:\\Program Files\\Opera7"

From here on I will use %opera% instead of the whole path we got
from the registry since we need to save this info into a variable
to use it in our program.

ATTENTION! Be sure to not use this variable in any files we modify!
Always use the whole path we got from the registry. Otherwise it
will mess up your Opera installation!




2) Goto this folder and copy

%opera%\defaults\standard_menu.ini

to

%opera%\profile\menu\standard_menu.ini


3) Open this file with a text editor and change the following:

- change the name (line 7) into "Opera Standard with FlashGet extension"
- search for the categories

"[Link Popup Menu]" and "[Image Link Popup Menu]"

and add the following line to both categories:

Item, "Download using FlashGet" = Execute program, "C:\Program Files\FlashGet\flashget.exe","%l"

That is a lowercase L after the last %

- save the file and start Opera


4) Goto "File/Preferences/Toolbars and Menus". In newer versions
it's called "Extra's/Preferences/Toolbars and Menus" and highlight
the new entry "Opera Standard with FlashGet extension" in the field
"Menu setup"


5) Press "OK" and that's it! Now you can download link-targets (both
text- AND image-links) by right-clicking on a link and choose
"Download using FlashGet".



Hint:
~~~~~
You can skip 4) and 5) if you add the following line into section [User Prefs]
of the file %opera%\profile\opera6.ini

Menu Configuration=%opera%\profile\menu\standard_menu.ini

This can easily be done using Nullsoft's NSIS Installer 2.0.
Get it from www.nullsoft.com

A Basic guide Internet

The Internet is a computer network made up of thousands of networks worldwide. No one knows exactly how many computers are connected to the Internet. It is certain, however, that these number in the millions.

No one is in charge of the Internet. There are organizations which develop technical aspects of this network and set standards for creating applications on it, but no governing body is in control. The Internet backbone, through which Internet traffic flows, is owned by private companies.

All computers on the Internet communicate with one another using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite, abbreviated to TCP/IP. Computers on the Internet use a client/server architecture. This means that the remote server machine provides files and services to the user's local client machine. Software can be installed on a client computer to take advantage of the latest access technology.

An Internet user has access to a wide variety of services: electronic mail, file transfer, vast information resources, interest group membership, interactive collaboration, multimedia displays, real-time broadcasting, shopping opportunities, breaking news, and much more.

The Internet consists primarily of a variety of access protocols. Many of these protocols feature programs that allow users to search for and retrieve material made available by the protocol.

COMPONENTS OF THE INTERNET

WORLD WIDE WEB
The World Wide Web (abbreviated as the Web or WWW) is a system of Internet servers that supports hypertext to access several Internet protocols on a single interface. Almost every protocol type available on the Internet is accessible on the Web. This includes e-mail, FTP, Telnet, and Usenet News. In addition to these, the World Wide Web has its own protocol: HyperText Transfer Protocol, or HTTP. These protocols will be explained later in this document.

The World Wide Web provides a single interface for accessing all these protocols. This creates a convenient and user-friendly environment. It is no longer necessary to be conversant in these protocols within separate, command-level environments. The Web gathers together these protocols into a single system. Because of this feature, and because of the Web's ability to work with multimedia and advanced programming languages, the Web is the fastest-growing component of the Internet.

The operation of the Web relies primarily on hypertext as its means of information retrieval. HyperText is a document containing words that connect to other documents. These words are called links and are selectable by the user. A single hypertext document can contain links to many documents. In the context of the Web, words or graphics may serve as links to other documents, images, video, and sound. Links may or may not follow a logical path, as each connection is programmed by the creator of the source document. Overall, the Web contains a complex virtual web of connections among a vast number of documents, graphics, videos, and sounds.


Producing hypertext for the Web is accomplished by creating documents with a language called HyperText Markup Language, or HTML. With HTML, tags are placed within the text to accomplish document formatting, visual features such as font size, italics and bold, and the creation of hypertext links. Graphics and multimedia may also be incorporated into an HTML document. HTML is an evolving language, with new tags being added as each upgrade of the language is developed and released. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), led by Web founder Tim Berners-Lee, coordinates the efforts of standardizing HTML. The W3C now calls the language XHTML and considers it to be an application of the XML language standard.

The World Wide Web consists of files, called pages or home pages, containing links to documents and resources throughout the Internet.

The Web provides a vast array of experiences including multimedia presentations, real-time collaboration, interactive pages, radio and television broadcasts, and the automatic "push" of information to a client computer. Programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, Visual Basic, Cold Fusion and XML are extending the capabilities of the Web. A growing amount of information on the Web is served dynamically from content stored in databases. The Web is therefore not a fixed entity, but one that is in a constant state of development and flux.

For more complete information about the World Wide Web, see Understanding The World Wide Web.

E-MAIL
Electronic mail, or e-mail, allows computer users locally and worldwide to exchange messages. Each user of e-mail has a mailbox address to which messages are sent. Messages sent through e-mail can arrive within a matter of seconds.

A powerful aspect of e-mail is the option to send electronic files to a person's e-mail address. Non-ASCII files, known as binary files, may be attached to e-mail messages. These files are referred to as MIME attachments.MIME stands for Multimedia Internet Mail Extension, and was developed to help e-mail software handle a variety of file types. For example, a document created in Microsoft Word can be attached to an e-mail message and retrieved by the recipient with the appropriate e-mail program. Many e-mail programs, including Eudora, Netscape Messenger, and Microsoft Outlook, offer the ability to read files written in HTML, which is itself a MIME type.

TELNET
Telnet is a program that allows you to log into computers on the Internet and use online databases, library catalogs, chat services, and more. There are no graphics in Telnet sessions, just text. To Telnet to a computer, you must know its address. This can consist of words (locis.loc.gov) or numbers (140.147.254.3). Some services require you to connect to a specific port on the remote computer. In this case, type the port number after the Internet address. Example: telnet nri.reston.va.us 185.

Telnet is available on the World Wide Web. Probably the most common Web-based resources available through Telnet have been library catalogs, though most catalogs have since migrated to the Web. A link to a Telnet resource may look like any other link, but it will launch a Telnet session to make the connection. A Telnet program must be installed on your local computer and configured to your Web browser in order to work.

With the increasing popularity of the Web, Telnet has become less frequently used as a means of access to information on the Internet.

FTP
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. This is both a program and the method used to transfer files between computers. Anonymous FTP is an option that allows users to transfer files from thousands of host computers on the Internet to their personal computer account. FTP sites contain books, articles, software, games, images, sounds, multimedia, course work, data sets, and more.

If your computer is directly connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable, you can use one of several PC software programs, such as WS_FTP for Windows, to conduct a file transfer.

FTP transfers can be performed on the World Wide Web without the need for special software. In this case, the Web browser will suffice. Whenever you download software from a Web site to your local machine, you are using FTP. You can also retrieve FTP files via search engines such as FtpFind, located at /http://www.ftpfind.com/. This option is easiest because you do not need to know FTP program commands.

E-MAIL DISCUSSION GROUPS
One of the benefits of the Internet is the opportunity it offers to people worldwide to communicate via e-mail. The Internet is home to a large community of individuals who carry out active discussions organized around topic-oriented forums distributed by e-mail. These are administered by software programs. Probably the most common program is the listserv.

A great variety of topics are covered by listservs, many of them academic in nature. When you subscribe to a listserv, messages from other subscribers are automatically sent to your electronic mailbox. You subscribe to a listserv by sending an e-mail message to a computer program called a listserver. Listservers are located on computer networks throughout the world. This program handles subscription information and distributes messages to and from subscribers. You must have a e-mail account to participate in a listserv discussion group. Visit Tile.net at /http://tile.net/ to see an example of a site that offers a searchablecollection of e-mail discussion groups.

Majordomo and Listproc are two other programs that administer e-mail discussion groups. The commands for subscribing to and managing your list memberships are similar to those of listserv.

USENET NEWS
Usenet News is a global electronic bulletin board system in which millions of computer users exchange information on a vast range of topics. The major difference between Usenet News and e-mail discussion groups is the fact that Usenet messages are stored on central computers, and users must connect to these computers to read or download the messages posted to these groups. This is distinct from e-mail distribution, in which messages arrive in the electronic mailboxes of each list member.

Usenet itself is a set of machines that exchanges messages, or articles, from Usenet discussion forums, called newsgroups. Usenet administrators control their own sites, and decide which (if any) newsgroups to sponsor and which remote newsgroups to allow into the system.

There are thousands of Usenet newsgroups in existence. While many are academic in nature, numerous newsgroups are organized around recreational topics. Much serious computer-related work takes place in Usenet discussions. A small number of e-mail discussion groups also exist as Usenet newsgroups.

The Usenet newsfeed can be read by a variety of newsreader software programs. For example, the Netscape suite comes with a newsreader program called Messenger. Newsreaders are also available as standalone products.

FAQ, RFC, FYI
FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions. These are periodic postings to Usenet newsgroups that contain a wealth of information related to the topic of the newsgroup. Many FAQs are quite extensive. FAQs are available by subscribing to individual Usenet newsgroups. A Web-based collection of FAQ resources has been collected by The Internet FAQ Consortium and is available at /http://www.faqs.org/.

RFC stands for Request for Comments. These are documents created by and distributed to the Internet community to help define the nuts and bolts of the Internet. They contain both technical specifications and general information.

FYI stands for For Your Information. These notes are a subset of RFCs and contain information of interest to new Internet users.

Links to indexes of all three of these information resources are available on the University Libraries Web site at /http://library.albany.edu/reference/faqs.html.

CHAT & INSTANT MESSENGING
Chat programs allow users on the Internet to communicate with each other by typing in real time. They are sometimes included as a feature of a Web site, where users can log into the "chat room" to exchange comments and information about the topics addressed on the site. Chat may take other, more wide-ranging forms. For example, America Online is well known for sponsoring a number of topical chat rooms.

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a service through which participants can communicate to each other on hundreds of channels. These channels are usually based on specific topics. While many topics are frivolous, substantive conversations are also taking place. To access IRC, you must use an IRC software program.

A variation of chat is the phenomenon of instant messenging. With instant messenging, a user on the Web can contact another user currently logged in and type a conversation. Most famous is America Online's Instant Messenger. ICQ, MSN and Yahoo are other commonly-used chat programs.

Other types of real-time communication are addressed in the tutorial Understanding the World Wide Web.

MUD/MUSH/MOO/MUCK/DUM/MUSE
MUD stands for Multi User Dimension. MUDs, and their variations listed above, are multi-user virtual reality games based on simulated worlds. Traditionally text based, graphical MUDs now exist. There are MUDs of all kinds on the Internet, and many can be joined free of charge. For more information, read one of the FAQs devoted to MUDs available at the FAQ site at
