More often than not a personal e-mail box has a large percentage of spam mail. Some times even the e-mail service might slip up on the filtering and send useless spam to the inbox instead of the spam folder. In fact it has been estimate that over 60% of all mail sent is spam. Here is a way to use Network Solutions to block an e-mail address without the need to buy any software or service.
The first step is to open your Network Solutions e-mail account. You can do this either by e-mail software such as MS Outlook or using webmail.
The next move is to send an e-mail to reportspam@networksolutionsemail.com and specify the e-mail address you want to get blocked. You need not go into any details and just mentioning the suspect e-mail address will do. That’s all! The blocking of the e-mail address will take a week to get activated.

Go to all the online accounts you have, for instance on MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and ensure that your e-mail address is not visible to users beyond your network. If your e-mail is apparent to other users as well, go to the Privacy Settings Tab and exclude all those users who can view your contact details.
Newsday to end free Web content
New York newspaper Newsday’s parent company Cablevision Systems Corp. is now planning to charge its online readers for its paper’s web content. This announcement was made on Thursday during a conference call with analysts by Tom Rutledge, the chief operating officer of Cablevision.
Rutledge said, “When we purchased Newsday we were aware of the long-term issues facing the traditional newspaper industry. Our goal was, and is, to use our electronic network assets and subscriber relationships to transform the way news is distributed.”
“We plan to end distribution of free Web content and to make our news gathering capabilities service our customers,” Rutledge added further.
The top executive however did not divulge any further details about the plan. Cablevision purchased the Long Island-based Newsday from the Tribune Co. for 650 million US dollars the previous year.
The New York based Newsday (Newsday.com) is placed 11th on the Nieman list of the top 15 US newspaper websites with an average of 3.16 million unique visitors a month last year according to figures compiled by the Nieman Journalism Lab of Harvard University. After a successful execution of the proposed plan, Newsday would become only the second after The Wall Street Journal to charge for its content online. The print version has a circulation of about 400,000.
Google introduces ads to Google News in US
In its effort to convert itself into a money making website from news amassment, search engine giant Google will now introduce ads to the results of search queries on Google News, a business project manager at Google, Josh Cohen announced at the official Google News blog on Wednesday.
Google News accumulates headlines from more than 4,500 English-language news sources around the world and provides links to articles on their websites. However, Google’s this profit venture is bound to raise the hackles of newspapers and other media outlets.
Cohen wrote on the blog, “What this means is that when you enter a query like iPhone or Kindle into the Google News search box, you’ll see text ads alongside your News search results — similar to what you see on regular Google searches.”
“We’ve always said that we’d unveil these changes when we could offer a good experience for our users, publishers and advertisers alike. We’ll continue to look at ways to deliver ads that are relevant for users and good for publishers, too,” Cohen added further, mentioning that the ads would appear on Google News search-results the USA only.
Google earns the maximum from the internet search advertising. Lately it has also introduced advertising to YouTube, Google Maps and Google Finance.
Google since purchasing YouTube in 2006 for 1.65 billion dollars has been searching for ideas to transform the immense popularity into profit-earning venture without affecting its huge support system.
Google also signed a licensing agreement in April 2007 with Agence France-Presse earning the right to post AFP news and photos on Google News.
This announcement has received mixed responses so far. John Battle, a media analyst writes on his blog, battellemedia.com, that the introduction of ads to Google News search was likely to prove controversial.
Rick Edmonds, a media business analyst at the Poynter Institute, a Florida-based non-profit journalism school feels, “I presume that Google gets paid per click for action on those ad offerings. But I doubt that they have any particular plans to share that with the people whose news they’re aggregating.”
Kelly McBride, another Poynter faculty member remarks, “It’s always been obvious that Google didn’t develop Google News as a public service — they intended to make money off it. I’m OK with Google News making money,” hoping that Google share the profit with the content providers.

Google Apps Under Cloud After Gmail Outage
Google’s much-vaunted cloud computing vision has raised concerns after Gmail, its e-mail service suffered an outage early Tuesday morning and was resolved only several hours later.
Acacio Cruz, Gmail site reliability manager admitted in a blogpost that for several hours after 9:30 GMT, Gmail consumer and business account-holders across the world could not access their e-mail accounts. However a later update at the Gmail status page assured users that the glitch had been repaired and their access to Gmail accounts was restored.
There was however no explanation at the site as to what had caused the outage or exactly how many users across the globe had been affected. Users in the UK and US who had enabled Gmail offline at their offices under the new Gmail Labs feature were able to access their inboxes but could neither send nor receive mail.
This is second time in a month that Gmail users have had problems with the e-mail service from Google. An unrelated trip-up earlier this month had resulted in several Gmail users finding legitimate e-mail sent to their spam folders.
Gmail is an e-mail service from the internet search giant Google and of late it has been pushing hard its cloud-computing vision in which applications are hosted on the Web instead on corporate computers.
MS Office 14 Launch Likely to be Delayed
Microsoft revealed early Tuesday that the launch of its Office 14 edition might be delayed to the end of 2010 and will not take place early half of this year as earlier expected.
Almost 29% of Microsoft revenues came from its Business Division in the last quarter and a whopping 90% of that contribution resulted from the sale of Microsoft’s Office-branded products. The principal application suite from MS Office continues to be the world’s most commonly-used platform at least in case of document production and management.
In such a scenario experts are concerned about the impact of the delay of the MS Office 14 launch. Questions are already being raised whether user dependence on Office 7 is stable enough to last more than another year.
For a time it seemed as if Microsoft would be aiming for a double whammy launch by releasing its Windows 7 and Office 14 at around the same time. The impact of the twin launch would have undoubtedly given the software giant an added momentum among consumers at a time when even the technology sector is reeling under the effects of recession.
However it will be become necessary for Microsoft to go ahead with the Windows 7 launch not only because it constitutes the principal operating system but also to put the unpleasant experience of Windows Vista behind it.
Now Gmail breakdown affects users worldwide
The search engine giant, Google Inc. has seen this twice within a month now. If earlier in the month a technical snag banned the users’ access to websites listed in its search, now its users had a tough time accessing their Gmail accounts, on Tuesday.

Google later has reported that the problem had been fully resolved and accesses to the users’ accounts have also been restored.
Earlier on February 1, an early morning online panic was triggered by the search engine giant when a technical glitch temporarily prevented users from visiting any websites listed in its search results.

Yahoo Seeks to Boost Revenue with Rich Media Search Ads
Yahoo Inc is set to launch its new rich media search ads in an attempt to take on search giant Google over the spoils of internet advertising revenue.
On Thursday, Yahoo unveiled its latest run of hybrid ads which integrate images and videos in paid search advertisements. Till now such ads contained only text and links. Titled Rich Ads in Search, the new format will fuse the brand power of banner advertisements with the high performance potential of the search.
According to experts in the advertising industry, the new product might help Yahoo in making full use of its sales force as well as leverage its experience in display advertising. These measures might eventually enable Yahoo to regain some lost ground in its competition with Google over search advertising revenue in recent years.
However Yahoo has continued to hold its own in the display advertising market with the sale of boxes and banner ads over its highly popular web pages. The area where Yahoo has been lagging behind ever since Google overwhelmed other players is the search advertising market. This market has emerged as a crucial playing field in recent times since text ads deliver direct and measurable results to the marketers.
Facebook to Consult Users on its “Bill of Rights”
In the latest twist to its torturous user content issue, Facebook has agreed to reinstate the earlier terms and has decided to consults users as it comes up with a new “ Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities”.
The public relations meltdown began when in February, Facebook, the largest social networking site in the world, revised its terms of service. According to the new terms, the site would have the right to do practically anything with user content subject only to privacy settings, and the content would remain with the site even after users closed their accounts.
The revision of terms of service did not lead to an immediate outcry, even though users began to ask questions about ownership and use of content on Facebook. Eventually opposition to the new terms built up to an extent that tens of thousands of users set up a Facebook group to voice their protest.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg tried to quell user dissent with a post on company’s blog likening the change in terms of service to a minor bookkeeping adjustment. However after a week of unrelenting unrest by users which saw the site’s public relations tactics being soundly trounced, Facebook finally agreed to back to its earlier terms of service.
