  |  By Mincom, on September 4th, 2010 Software for Picky Children that can make the learning process fun. Children love computers. If you are a parent of young children, you’ve probably seen living proof of that and long since given up trying to discourage them from constantly wanting to be on the machine. If you could, you would want to show them the big and beautiful world out there that they should prefer to a lighted rectangle on the desk – but there just is no way. Instead of trying to win their resentment with tearing them away from their best friend the computer, perhaps you could find better ways of making use of the box of tricks for what it can do for them. The computer has your child’s attention. Why not try to find a way into your child’s world of wonders and possibilities? Why not try bringing in for the children software that truly knows how [...] By Mincom, on September 3rd, 2010 Brand positioning strategy is one of the most complicated issues in the world of marketing and advertising today. Many companies still think in the short term, looking at a particular marketing campaign or introducing a new product, but fail to understand the issues of long-term branding strategy. The problem is that there are many different branding strategies available. Every marketing executive, corporate chairman, salesperson, and consumer has a part to play in branding strategies and each one of them approaches their role differently. If you are able to understand the role each actor plays in brand identity, however, you can come up with a winning brand identity that will catapult your business to unheard-of levels of success. Branding strategies are often pretty abstract things when they are first thought of. Basically, brand identity starts with a concept. Are you trying to appeal to a certain need, or fabricate a new need for [...] By Mincom, on June 16th, 2010 Google Translations – Closer than ever to Real Intelligence Google’s problems with Buzz haven’t really gone down well. Lots of people, who have been resentful of the way Google has gone from strength to strength, threw themselves like a sumo wrestler on this slip Google made. But surely, that kind of haste in trashing Google is not called for. Google is still a company that is tremendously innovative as seen even recently in its approach to one of the most confounding problems people have ever faced – getting machines to understand human language well enough to translate from one to another. Enter Google Translations. The translation challenge is something tailor-made for Google’s particular strengths. Enormous computing power and enormous insights into specific ways in which language is used to mean one thing or another in its searches. If you haven’t tried translating anything expressive from one language to another and wrestled with [...] By Mincom, on April 26th, 2010 Every time there is a tragedy somewhere in the world, caring people like you want to get out your wallet to help make a difference. As sad and indifferent as the world may seem at times, it warms the heart to know that at their most basic, people still care about other people and they cannot stand to see suffering. When disaster strikes, the other side of humanity comes out as well. Some will use that disaster to try to trick you into giving your money to them instead of the charity you were searching out to give donations online. Give when you feel you can, but think about to whom you are giving. Money can get to where it is needed faster than ever thanks to the ability to make donations online and through telephone text messages. The moment you hear about something and you feel you want to give, [...] By Mincom, on April 25th, 2010 Push Button Marketer – Automation Software For Internet Marketers. Automates Tasks Like Email, Writing, Creating Websites, Checking Stats, Blogging, Website Maintenance, Posting Ads, Research, Product Reviews, And So Much More. We’ve Cracked The Code To Getting More Done And Making More Money Online With Less Work. I had a look at ‘Push Button Marketer’ and purchased it to speed up the time I spend on my computer. Unfortunately this deal is only valued until the 30th of April and I decided to inform as many people as possible about it. Not only is it excellent value for money, software needed by everyone that has a computer to simplify many tasks, but you get private label rights (PLR) to sell it as well. Another reason that convinced me is that it is for a good cause. It is a deal definitely worth checking out! By Mincom, on April 21st, 2010 With Apple Leaving out Flash Software on the iPhone and the iPad, is this the End for Adobe? Critics started tearing into the new Apple iPad about ten minutes after its release. Why would Apple make a Web browsing device like this, and still not give it Flash capability? To watch YouTube videos seems to be just about the biggest reason you would want one of these cute little computer “slates” for. When you open YouTube on the iPad though, all you see where the screen should be, is an empty rectangle, with a little Lego-like icon that is just a placeholder. As unfortunate an omission as this has been on the iPad, perhaps it wasn’t unintentional. Flash has been with us for 14 years now. Anything on a webpage that moves, animated graphical advertisements, video streams and so on, depended on a Flash player. It was well accepted. There are [...] By Mincom, on February 25th, 2010 3 Ways To Safeguard Your Business From Google Slaps and Triple Your Traffic At The Same Time By Paul McCarthy (c) 2010 Time and time again, I hear webmasters complaining about their sites getting slapped. In fact, if you take a look at Google’s official webmaster forum, you’ll be shocked at the number of new threads where business owners are pleading with the moderators for a reason why their site has dropped 10 pages down the rankings. It’s soon brought to their attention that the moderators have no control over the listings and 9 times out of 10, there’s nothing they can do to resurrect their sites’ rankings other than playing the waiting game. How would you feel if you relied on Google for 80% of your traffic and it suddenly dropped in the rankings overnight? And, if you’re sitting there shaking your head thinking that it won’t happen to you because you’re a [...] By Mincom, on December 31st, 2009 Today is the last day of the year 2009. For all of you I wish 2009 will have a happy ending and that 2010 will be a year of prosperity for everyone. For South Africans, especially Capetonians, it means that long awaited “Worldcup 2010” is around the corner. I went back into my archives. It is now almost a year ago I seriously started looking at the Internet as a business opportunity and made this statement in one of my posts. “The next thing I would like to make clear is there is no easy quick way to make money on the Internet… without money, legally and in an honest way. If there is anyone who would like to challenge me on this, feel free. I would like to be the first to know about it. I am also sure it is possible to start an Internet business with no major expenses except to [...]  | |
