31 Jan 09 Share your expertises on KNOL

Google has introduced KNOL for sometimes, now they are promoting it. I definitely think KNOL will help all the information seekers better than ever. This is probably another technique of Google’s collection of knowledge base search engine, we could presume.

What is KNOL?

It’s basically units of knowledge written about various subjects. However, as like many google applications, knol is current at a beta stage.

Why should we participate at KNOL?

Many advantages, make yourself exposed to the knowledge based world, information sharing site. You can take credit for writing, provide credentials, reviews and comments. Users can provide comments, review and related information.

What subjects we can write on KNOL?

Well, pretty much everything. LOL

What are common advantages using KNOL?

You can get good back links to your website, that’s pretty good for SEO, but it’s very important you don’t spam the links. You can get credited and for me, the best thing is collaboration mode that many people can work together on a same project/subject which is pretty awesome. I think that idea is derived from online project collaboration sites as Google has capabilities for doing it so such as Google Docs.

What do I think about this?

KNOL for me is basically a combination of blog/search engine/multimedia gateway to all the information retrievers. Being a active participant on google’s main site, you will not only create traffic for your website on your niche, but also will create exposure to your materials. All you need to do is to be original, informative and unique with your content.

So, happy KNOLing.

Have a great weekend.

14 Jan 09 Windows 7 Beta Version Available for Everyone

For those who are curious about Windows 7, your curiosity is almost revealed. Microsoft has released Windows 7 beta version. 

It is probably not recommended for those without IT knowledge and most importantly, Please do not test on your work computer or everyday computer. As we all know, beta version are buggy, but you will be the first to experience this operating system.

There are three important things you need to know before you test the OS.

• The Windows 7 Beta is actually a pre-release version of Windows. While it is considered stable and high-quality beta, it’s not the finished  final product. It could perhaps crash your computer or cause you to lose important files or information. Bottom line, you have risks of running the windows just like previous beta testing. 
• The Beta version will stop operating on August 1, 2009. To continue using your PC, please be prepared to reinstall a prior version of Windows or a subsequent release of Windows 7 before the expiration date. You won’t be able to upgrade from the Beta to the final retail version of Windows 7. So, let’s say you have 7-8 months of usage, So, don’t really expect to have important files or such. Perhaps use virtual machines if your computer has enormous amount of memory and disk space. 
• Important Note to Internet Explorer 8 Beta testers: If you’re already testing Internet Explorer 8, please be aware that the version in the Windows 7 Beta is at a different stage of release. If you’re beta-testing Windows 7, you need to use the version of Internet Explorer 8 that comes with it. So, if you are upgrading from xp or vista, I suggest DON’T. try clean install on a different computer for just beta testing. 

  I suppose you read all the things above, so enjoy your beta testing here. Any comments? Drop a line here.
