News: Search Engine Small Business Solution Developed, by Fresh Business Thinking
Bristol, United Kingdom - (Website Hosting Directory) - August 6, 2007 - A new search engine solution has been developed by Fresh Business Thinking, to provide small business owners and directors, with information designed to assist more effective business operations and drive qualified traffic to web sites.
Freshbusinessthinking.com hopes to provide a boost alongside existing marketing efforts, since it is a well known fact, that every day, millions of business owners use search engines to look for new services and suppliers. While the businesses might have a great offer, if new customers can't find them, then the business will likely not grow. The world of search engine marketing is fraught with complicated theories and algorithms - however, editorial content is considered king.
If web sites don't have massive amounts of non-product based content or editorial, it is quite possible that search engines such as Google, may give the web site a lower rank. Getting listed by a search engine is not difficult - however, getting that critical first page listing, can be complex.
Businesses can boost rankings on popular search engines such as Google or Yahoo by linking with Freshbusinessthinking.com and piggybacking off the content, news and relevant high quality links. The service costs 99 poundes plus Vat for a 12 month subscription.
Fresh Business Thinking created website Freshbusinessthinking.com, for business owners, directors and entrepreneurs running small and medium-sized businesses in the UK. Freshbusinessthinking is an on-line business resource providing ideas, information, advice and news, aimed at SMEs. Including the 'how to' for SME business decision makers, the site offers practical advice on essential business topics and solutions to specific business problems. Fresh Business Thinking also produces a series of monthly editorially independent newsletters covering Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, Technology and Personal Finance and a weekly view from the top can be found in the weekly CEO newsletters.

Microsoft Corp. has created an applied research organization, for the purpose of accelerating innovations in search and ad technologies. The Internet Services Research Center (ISRC), aims to deliver solutions more rapidly to advertisers and customers.
The new group will be a part of Microsoft Research, and the team will work closely with MSN and other product groups across the company. According to Rick Rashid, Senior Vice President of Microsoft Research, the team has a long history of collaborating with other groups on key challenges and intends to accelerate that work.
Mr. Rashid remarked, ''We're building an even tighter bridge between researchers and product teams. The ISRC represents a new model for moving technologies quickly from research projects to improved products and services.''
Satya Nadella, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's Search and Advertising Platform Group, reportedly said that deep collaboration between talented developers and researchers throughout Microsoft has consistently delivered advances in search and ad-related technologies. Mr. Nadella pointed to efforts concerned with search relevance, spam prevention, product search, content extraction and optical character recognition for book search as examples of past collaboration between the Windows Live Search development team and Microsoft's research community.
Mr. Nadella offered, ''We're committed to delivering better, faster search results for our customers and more creative, effective ways of delivering value for advertisers. We have been able to make an incredible amount of progress in just a few years. Our investments in engineering in conjunction with ISRC, Live Labs and Microsoft Research will enable us to bring new innovations to the market in a rapid fashion.''
Microsoft named Dr. Harry Shum, who was promoted to corporate Vice President, to lead the ISRC. Mr. Shum has been chief scientist for the Search and Advertising Platform Group since early 2007. He joined Microsoft in 1996, and has worked in Microsoft Research as a researcher, research manager, assistant managing director, managing director of Microsoft Research Asia and distinguished engineer.
Mr. Rashid continued, ''As the leader of Microsoft Research’s Asia lab, Harry has consistently shown his ability to not only innovate technically, but also motivate and lead teams of bright researchers effectively. Selecting Harry to head the ISRC is recognition of the success of Microsoft Research Asia and a vote of confidence in the talent and expertise of the people at our Beijing lab.''
The new organization will bring together research efforts from across the company to develop technologies related to advancing the state of the art in advertising and search.
Mr. Shum added, ''Throughout the company we have crack research teams with brilliant minds and fires in their bellies working on next-generation search and ad technologies. We're harnessing their energy and ingenuity and consolidating them into one, cohesive organization.''
Shum said the company will continue to invest in bringing the best and brightest minds to Microsoft to tackle the toughest technical challenges and deliver the most creative technologies.

Its goals are to enhance the user experience on computing devices, reduce the cost of writing and maintaining software, and invent novel computing technologies. Researchers focus on more than 55 areas of computing and collaborate with leading academic, government and industry researchers to advance the state of the art in such areas as graphics, speech recognition, user-interface research, natural language processing, programming tools and methodologies, operating systems and networking, and the mathematical sciences. Microsoft Research employs more than 700 people in five labs located in Redmond, Wash.; Silicon Valley, Calif.; Cambridge, England; Beijing, China; and Bangalore, India.

News: Website Portal, MySpace.com, Launches Mexican Community Website
Mexico City, Mexico - (Website Hosting Directory) - August 3, 2007 - Social networking and lifestyle portal, MySpace.com, has debuted the official launch of its Mexican community website. In celebration of the new website, MySpace hosted a Secret Show performance featuring famed Latin alternative rock band CafeTacuba, in Mexico City.
Travis Katz, SVP and General Manager for International at MySpace remarked, ''MySpace is about connecting with others, discovering culture and defining interests whether it be through blogging, instant messenger, sharing music, photos or videos. Our goal is to position MySpace as the premiere portal for Mexico specific content and events.''
Since the beta launch of MySpace Mexico in January 2007, MySpace has experienced a 67% increase in page views and a 39% increase in monthly signups. Additionally, the Spanish version of the newly launched MySpace Instant messaging is the most successful of the six non-English languages currently available on the site.
The fully localized community currently has more than 1.5 million unique active users per month, according to comScore, and joins MySpace's existing global network of 115 million worldwide active users in 18 countries including France, Germany, Australia, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, Japan, Sweden, Latin America and the United Kingdom.
MySpace will celebrate the official launch of MySpace Mexico by hosting a Secret Show featuring CafeTacuba, one of the most culturally significant and popular Latin alternative bands in the world. The envelope-pushing innovators from Mexico City continue to receive both critical praise on numerous best of the year lists and the recognition of their musical peers with GRAMMY and LATIN GRAMMY awards. The band will release its first new/original album in four years this fall.
MySpace is also growing its international team with two new members. Victor Kong, the company's first new hire, will oversee the expansion and growth of the MySpace Latin online community as Managing Director of MySpace Latin America. Victor comes to MySpace with an extensive background in strategy, business development and new media having served as the VP of Strategy and New Media Development at MTV Networks Latin America and Global Director of E-Commerce for Terra Networks.
Mr. Kong added, ''The launch of MySpace Mexico will provide advertisers a unique opportunity to interact with the youth community in Mexico through event sponsorships and unique marketing partnerships that will enable brands to integrate with their users in rich and compelling ways.''
Also joining the MySpace team is Jose Casanova who comes to MySpace from EMI Music Mexico where he served as Label Manager in charge of Strategic Marketing. Jose will oversee all Mexico marketing and content initiatives in his role as Marketing Manager for MySpace Mexico.
MySpace Mexico recently partnered with EMI Records for a compilation CD of label artists and unsigned talent. The album is currently on sale in record stores across Mexico and is found on MySpace at http://myspace.com/eldiscomyspacemexico. Additionally, bands such as Molotov, Zoe, Austin TV, and Panda have partnered with MySpace for the releases of their new albums.
In May, MySpace Mexico sponsored Vive Latino (http://myspace.com/vivelatino), the country's largest music festival in Mexico City to facilitate relationships between local artists and the Mexican community by encouraging fans to visit the official MySpace pages of their favorite artists. These profiles allow local musicians to post concert dates, write blogs, and provide new music for the MySpace Mexico online community.
MySpace has plans to expand into 10 additional countries in the next year. By visiting MySpace's online global map, users are empowered to log on and view their profile through the lens of any country or language.
Since MySpace's official launch in January 2004, music has been a cornerstone of MySpace's success with more than eight million bands offering fans exclusive access to their profiles and music projects. With the local launch of Secret Shows in February 2006, MySpace members have the opportunity to hear about upcoming shows happening in their area.
