Yahoo recently launched a new ad campaign ($75-$85 million ad campaign (a subset of the $100 million campaign CEO Carol Bartz launched last year) telling people that they got all you need on a homepage.

The slogan goes:

“Your favorite stuff all in one place. Make Yahoo your home page.”

Personally I think that the video does its job just fine, but the site does not. After the user opens the window, there you'll see a blank page where you can't figure out where your eyes should go. Typically too much to see, nothing to look at.

Plus I think someone should inform yahoo that google has a nice feature called iGoogle. You can customize the look and feel of your homepage the way you want it. The best thing is, it doesn't have advertisements!

I think the reason why google's homepage is a success is because of its clean and uncluttered interface. Users get what they want when they search something and not some rubbish that other search engines return.

But I'm not closing my doors on yahoo. They are working more and more to improve their system and reclaim the top spot. After all, it is one of the big SEOs in the business and is definitely an advantage to have your website listed on its search.

What about you guys, what is your homepage? What do you think of yahoo's new ad campaign? Will it be a success?

Eversince I wrote the article about the controversial Barack Obama - Hillary Clinton Scandal, I've been getting a lot of emails on how to remove this malicious koobface virus that originated from facebook.



Basically I will just give you simple tips. Prevention is still better than cure.

If you see this application lurking on your wall, delete it right away to prevent other people specially your friends on clicking it and get infected too.

If you did click the application, normally facebook's security will ask a permission on whether or not you'd like that certain app to gain access to your account. Deny it at once. That message should've given you a hint right away that the app should not be trusted because it is asking to gather sensitive information. That alone is enough reason why!

If ever you do get infected by the virus, block the application and report it.

Lastly, get a premium anti-virus (don't go for free ones as they won't do the job right) and scan all your system.

Bottomline is be careful on clicking facebook applications on your wall. Not because it is recommended by a trusted friend and it is labeled as "Scandal" it means you'll have to click on it right away to satisfy your curiosity.

This applies not only for facebook, but to other social networking sites aswell.

What about you? What did you do when you encountered this?

Today I was surprised to see one of my affliate banners (neobux specifically) changed appearance.



At first I thought it was because I was hosting my images on google sites and that it received such penalty because the message on the banner says "Paid-to-Click Service" and had an X mark logo on it.

But I then realized that I didn't host the specific neobux banner there and that I used the one that neobux provided. So I began to think something is going on so I just visited the website to answer my curiosity.

Then this is what I saw..



Pretty fancy huh?

I tried logging in this morning and saw numerous improvements! It even welcomed me with a personal message! LOL!



So what do I think about it? Personally I'm loving the new user interface. However I'm not liking the new banners because I think it does not somehow blend with its niche. Overall the site is a thumbs up for me!

This just proves how neobux is seriously improving its services for their memebers to enjoy!
