Dia bilang:

  1. Include a One-Sentence Tagline
  2. Write a Window Title with Good Visibility in Search Engines and Bookmark Lists
  3. Group all Corporate Information in One Distinct Area
  4. Emphasize the Site’s Top High-Priority Tasks
  5. Include a Search Input Box
  6. Show Examples of Real Site Content
  7. Begin Link Names with the Most Important Keyword
  8. Offer Easy Access to Recent Homepage Features
  9. Don’t Over-Format Critical Content, Such as Navigation Areas
  10. Use Meaningful Graphics
    Don’t just decorate the page with stock art. Images are powerful communicators when they show items of interest to users, but will backfire if they seem frivolous or irrelevant. For example, it’s almost always best to show photos of real people actually connected to the topic, rather than pictures of models.

Ujung-ujungnya dia mempromosikan bukunya, Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstructed ;P Ada yang mau beliin? :)



ngelelang domain di ebay.com

Ada yg. udah pernah coba? Katanya si Zain di sini, ada beberapa langkah yg. mesti diperhatikan:

  1. Get Registered
    To sell anything on eBay, registration is required. Registration is free, but there is a small fee to list items for sale. Buying is free, and can begin right away — and there are no eBay fees to buy, only to sell.
  2. Do your Homework
    After you’ve registered successfully, do a little research to find out where domains should be placed for sale. eBay has dozens of categories, and one is of course the Domain Names directory: .com Domain Listings, while the other is the Businesses for sale–> Websites section (if the domain being sold points to a developed site): Businesses for sale —-> Web sites.
  3. Choose your Listing Type
    Featured Listing, Premium Listing, dan Homepage Featured.
  4. Decide on the Auction Duration
    The next choice you’ll need to make is the auction duration. As of now, 3, 5, and 7 days are free, while 10 days is not. I always use 7 day auctions, and so do most other sellers.
  5. Get an Appraisal
    Appraisal is an important factor in buying and selling a domain name. Whether the domain is a word in the dictionary, or has been made up, consider having a domain appraised by an appraisal authority.

Sisanya, kalo tertarik, baca sendiri. Kalo ada yg. sukses ngelelang domain di sono, cerita-cerita ya :) Btw, ini bukan iklan soal ebay lho…;P

Dari sini dan sana:

ATLANTA, May 7, 2002 - Interland, Inc. (Nasdaq: INLD), the leading provider of business-class Web hosting services to small and medium businesses, today announced it has acquired Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based managed dedicated Web hosting company Dialtone Internet. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquisition, the fourth completed by Interland in the last six months, including the small business Web hosting businesses of Interliant, AT&T, and CommuniTech.Net, …

Ternyata, yang diakusisi banyak juga ya. Ada Dialtone, Interliant, divisi hosting AT&T, dan CommuniTech.Net. Gile bener…

Dot-Com Still the Main Domain!

Biarpun udah ada dot-biz dan dot-info, tapi Dot-Com Still the Main Domain!

Menurut Joanna Glasner, Dot-com, after all, has long been the chosen suffix of nearly all the most-visited sites on the Internet. Heck, it even had a stock market bubble named after it, not to mention an entire subspecies of human, the dot-commer. Add in the fact that many folks got burned speculating on dot-com domains, and it seemed logical that new suffixes would be poised for a slow takeoff.

Google Answers

Google Answers? Apaan lagi nih? Jelasnya begini:

Google’s search engine is a great way to find information online. But sometimes even experienced users need help finding exactly the answer they want to a question. Google Answers is a way to get that help from Researchers with expertise in online searching. When you post a question to Google Answers, you specify how much you’re willing to pay for an answer and how quickly you need that information. A Researcher will search for the answer and send you the information you’re seeking, as well as useful links to web pages on the topic. If you’re satisfied with that answer, you pay the amount you specified.

Biaya pasangnya $0.50 pertanyaan (gak bisa balik). Biaya untuk jawaban (bisa refund), terserah kita. Oh, pintarnya Google cari duit!
