On May 16, 2010 First Lady Michelle Obama is headed to George Washington University. However that will happen only if the students, faculty and staff first complete 100,000 hours of community service. During a visit to the campus in September, Obama promised to return for graduation if they met her challenge.
Three lucky schools will get Michelle Obama as their commencement speaker, the White House announced Tuesday.
The first lady will first speak on May 8 at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, a historic black college. On June 11, she’ll address the grads at Anacostia Senior High School, which she first visited a year ago as part of her mentoring initiative.
The original story was reported in Washington Post

The main reason behind requirement of truck floor mats is to shield the floor of your truck. There are many reasons which can cause stain at your vehicle’s floor; one of such reason is spilling of liquid. Truck floor mats keep your truck’s floor stain free.

I have heard many complaints from online marketers that their genuine links at forum posting, commenting on blogs and news articles are frowned upon and they are devoid of opportunities.
I will suggest online marketers to focus on a new method. Forget about creating hotlinks at different places, blogs and news commenting. Focus on the brand naming. Choose a website name that is short, easy to type and communicate, and unique. So let us say you have created a website called ezdia. And you want to advertise ezdia at proper forums by commenting.
If you notice carefully - ezdia is a unique name. And if you type ezdia, the website http://ezdia.com is the one that comes to the top. With this in mind - here is my suggestion - promote the brand name. On every forum that seems relevant use the word ezdia in place of hot clickable link http://ezdia.com. If you need to - just write - “Search google with ezdia” or something similar.
This way you are promoting a brand name. It will get you less immediate traffic. But you are less likely to be banned by the website owner. You efficacy increases.
This method will be successful for any page that comes to number one with a given keyword. For example a webpage of this website come to top with the search term “MSP430 tutorial”. If I want to promote this page, I do not say go to http://www.referencedesigner.com/tutorials/msp430/msp430_01.php - all I have to say is - search google with “MSP430 tutorial”.
Do you see the effectiveness of this method ?

I recently stumbled upon this websiteKiller Startup and wanted to write about it.
Killer Start up works like a digg website with some important difference. It is the staff of the Killer start up which post the links of the startup website rather than the common user. Daily, the staffs of Killer start up review 15 startups. They choose the start ups that can be potential Killer.
For example at the time of writing, ezdia was at number three spot in this month’s of the Killer Startup top list. Killer start up can give a good exposure to your company. You need to ensure that your start up is good in content and have good promise if you wish it to get significant number of votes.
Killer startup top list also give an indication of which industry area can be a good hit. If you think your start up can be a good hit you may use the submit button at Killer startup. It is upto the Killer Start up staff whether they deem it fit for being included in the killer start up review.

If you think facebook brings happiness to the life of modern teens, young generations and couples - think again. Statistics show that facebook was quoted in 20% of the divorce cases. Many new cases are surfacing where multiple relations are sabotaging lifes of couples. Take a look the the following which was posted in humorous sense - but it turns out that it had a sense of reality
One digg user summed his personal experience
“It’s an absolutely retarded thing to do, but we’ve all done it…
The worst part is most girls will go out of their way to make themselves seem as happy as possible once you’ve split up, only to further add to the misery.
You’ll visit her Facebook page only to notice her default photo is now her and ‘guy x’. This ‘guy x’ also happens to be somebody you’ve been friends with for years, and when you previously asked her “do you fancy guy x” weeks earlier, she’d reply with “no way!”.
I had a really bad breakup with a girl and she did all of the above, but also set her profile to private…whilst ‘accidentally on purpose’ not changing the password she knew that I knew. So I logged in to it only to notice everything I’d ever posted had been removed and it was now all lovey-dovey shit about how good her new boy is. Girls can be pretty damn brutal!”
So it is your time to decide - Is facebooking doing any help to society or harming it. I arrive at the conclusion that most of this social media is eventually leading to misery, sadness. I hoped it were otherwise.
