Worrying about being prosecuted under the UK Disability Discrimination Act for the inaccessibility of your company website?

Frightened by web consultants who say your site doesn’t comply - and that the RNIB will prosecute you? Relax - you have more chances of winning the lottery than facing a judge because of your site.

Search Engine Placement Using Google Image Search

By Michael Rock (c) 2006

In case you didn’t know it, or didn’t care Google has an image search located on the tab just to the right of its web search where you can search the internet for images based upon the text you type into the search box. This article will explain how to optimize your web site to use this to your advantage.

When you do a Google Image search you will get a page of results that show the images according to your search query. Along with the images you will get a description of file size, image size, and file type. Google also shows some text that is near the image on the web page where the image was found and the web site address of the image.

Becoming a Web Media Mogul

It’s no secret any more that as broadband becomes more prevalent in the home, the demand for video content has spiked. An interesting new service called ClipSyndicate, which launched in Beta in April, offers web publishers a way to edit and add video news clips to websites and email newsletters, and monetize them in two ways.

The leadership at ClipSyndicate’s creator, Critical Mention Inc., already has an impressive pedigree. The founder and CEO is Sean Morgan, who sold text news syndication service Screamingmedia to CBS Marketwatch for over $100 million a short time after it went public in August 2000.

Clash Of The Net Titans: Google V. Everyone

Jason Lee Miller | Staff Writer

The race for Internet supremacy is getting more intense by the day.
Internet giants, especially Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft, are
fee-fie-foe-fumming and smelling blood everywhere as they retool
their strategies for complete omnipresence. But they’ve also decided
not to go it alone as they form supergiant alliances.

The day after Yahoo! and eBay laid a swift rabbit punch to Google’s
kidneys by announcing an advertising partnership, news hit the
circuit of Google’s befriending of Dell Computers to slap its other
rival Microsoft. This comes just weeks after Microsoft wooed Amazon
away from Google - the Beast of Redmond still steamed from being
jilted by AOL and maybe soon by MySpace.com.
