Two days ago, I received an email from tax service with title

“Notice Of Unreported Income”
The content of the message is as following:
“Taxpayer ID: passwd-txt-sales-00000174073547US
Tax Type: INCOME TAX
Issue: Unreported/Underreported Income (Fraud Application)
Please review your tax statement on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website (click on the link below):
review tax statement for taxpayer id: passwd-txt-sales-00000174073547US
Internal Revenue Service”
If you click on the above link, you will go to governmental page . For pro surfer, you will see it is a true site, there are no suspected links or so. But Take care, don’t be fooled by this . It is a trap. I’m lucky I managed to discover that because I’m not a US Citizen or have US Based business. The other thing that helps me to discover this fraud email is that, I already have several email addresses to check and I found this message in all my emails.
Takecare.

StumbleUpon has launched to its fans and users the new feature of the share tool. This technique aims to facilitate the process of sending the pages to friends. this technique is more easy to use. You  only need to go to your favorites and choose the image or the page you like, then the share button will appear. After that, chose the friends you want to share with. And the pages will be sent through emails. Wow it is too easy way! It is so simple than the stumbleupon toolbar. By this new feature of sharing , everything can be shared with no time.

The new users of the stumbleupon will not need downloading the toolbar of stumble. All the newest and latest topics will be shared with no effort. This new feature of sharing will make the process of rating topics more easy.

The benefits of the new technique could be a great thing for the users of SU. But ,truthfully this way is a great portal for spam. And an interesting way to bother others with nonsense. This way will make the shouters and fool people kill their time with an easy way and without  effort.

The toolbar of SU enables users to appreciate the time and force them to send the topics which are already important. And the usual technique of sharing  is more sociable than the new one.

SU is a perfect way of marketing the valuable topics. And more sophisticated tool. It depends upon the good quality of topics. The new feature of share makes any one send any thing despite the interest of the other.

StumbleUpon tries by this new technique to attract more traffic and increase the visitors . But unfortunately the numbers say something else.
Many users of SU find that this way of sharing  is the most annoying one. And it kills the chance of having a space of beautiful interests.
But some others find this way is so cool. And most of those people has no hobby except invading others’ space. ??

All  owners of online businesses, we always dig for new promoting method.
Recently , Google gives a great push to its Google Docs. It is still in beta but it is full of features. Google Docs is free and available when you set up an Google account.
Google Docs is obviously the first tool in the genre. There were some attempts from other competitors to release such tool but Google is always the leaders.

Google Docs allows for sharing of a file or files by checking the checkbox next to them and clicking “share” from the menu. Those you are sharing with can be invited as “Collaborators” or “Viewers.”. You can add a short note along with the invitation. Google Docs is web-based word processor and spreadsheet application.
Google Docs offers great place for not only creating your documents, presentations or spreadsheets but also for maintaining backups of your documents. You will never have to worry about how you will replace your locally destroyed documents again.

Now, you may ask how can I use this system to promote a business? The answer is “Sharing”. Sharing is the secret word. The possibility to share your docs, or presentations to the world can be a rich source of traffic . With Google Docs, you can’t predict the results of posting your content to the public. Google , who gets more than 137 million visitors monthly from US only, can popularize your business.

All what you need is to post a content that can be related to your website. Keeping posting  will have two benefits : First brings direct traffic , Second generating important back links that can increase the page rank of your site.

All business owners should consider trying Google Docs. And I welcome your postings about this topic.

Last week , YouTube updated its guidelines by adding 3 simple points as follows:

• Don’t post videos showing bad stuff like animal abuse, drug abuse, or bomb making.
• Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone getting hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don’t post it.
• YouTube is not a shock site. Don’t post gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies and similar things.

Simple, aren’t they? But no one couldn’t predict the consequences of such update .

If you didn’t follow the story from the beginning, please read the following.

About 4 months ago , Senator Joseph Lieberman asked Google inc to block all videos that are posted on YouTube which encourage violence by depicting assassinations, death of US soldiers, as well as weapon training and speeches. YouTube responded after 4 months to these demands. But it seems that their new guidelines were not approved by netizens .

The first and strong reaction by some people was deleting their accounts at YouTube, why? Because they say that this measurement is considered as imposing censorship on their freedom. How they live in the land of liberty and their freedom is taken. They simply left YouTube.

Some others go further to see that these terms are limiting their freedom of speech and thoughts. And they are angry.

Another group acted like explainers, they make the simple terms more difficult by expanding the terms to include any funny videos that people hurt in them or movie trailers that show actions or martial arts….

I think people are sensitive about authority and politics. They didn’t want the action of “Big Brother” and that’s why they are angry although YouTube already uses these rules from the early beginning of their online existence. They already deleted many videos before that were not complied with their terms…but the new change is that they give in to a politician demand and they declare that to the public. A big Mistake.

Yes, it is a big mistake that may cost them their business. And who knows How much YouTube may lose? I noticed that people are going to make a replacement for YouTube . People are searching for another media that make them feel free. If this angry reaction grows, it will drain YouTube from its value. Because what distinguishes Youtube from other video sharing sites is that it is the leading and the most popular site. Now, they give the opportunity to other compititors to cut a huge piece from their market share.

Who can imagine that these simple terms, which already used by YouTube all the time without announcing, will affect them after they post this update. It is a tough test for YouTube. And more consequences may appear in the next days.
