Google has decided to welcome AIM users to chat, by making it compatible with it. So, you can now welcome your AIM/AOL friends for a nice chat online. Of course, any new feature is great, no matter how small. Google even has a nice image to represent it.

Tevine now has a new repository called “Projects“. There are some projects within there already. Here are some notable ones that are useful to almost everyone. Just to cut to the point, I shall be announcing 2 Wordpress plugins in this post.
Title Capitalization
This plugin automates the process of capitalizing titles. I’m sure you know what capitalization is. Capitalization helps give a little ”formal” look to your post titles. Here are some formats [there are 6] supported:
This format capitalizes only the first word.
THIS ONE ON THE OTHER HAND IS ALL CAPS.
This Format Captializes Every Single Word.
Certainly this One might be a Little Different than the Ones Above.
I didn’t want to put a whole dictionary inside the plugin, so the plugin will only deal to a certain level of grammar (sorry, I cannot make titles that look the same as that of CNN, because that would require a dictionary list of nouns, articles, adjectives, etc….). There are some problems with this plugin though (involving some grammar), which would be fixed eventually.
Okay, maybe the same effects can be achieved by using a little PHP, but maybe new users of Wordpress don’t know how to put in a little PHP.
Installation is pretty simple, copy the plugin, activate it, and change the options.
This was released a little earlier, but I didn’t annouce it much. This plugin gives voting functionality to your posts. Add one line of code, and voila! People can vote for your posts. Guest support is included.
Several styles are supported by this plugin - bar and ticker. There is also some inside code that you can use to even set up a bookmarking site.
Installation is not as simple compared to the first one, but it is roughly the same and is quite easy to follow. Copy the plugin (contained in a directory), activate it, change some options, follow instructions inside the option panel.

At the moment, it does not allows for input, but that will come soon in due time.

One can say that the whole idea of link selling has almost vanished even since Google began conducting serious checks across the board. From day one, Google forbid webmasters from selling links. However at that time, not many really bothered about it. This is until when Google grew prominant enough to put a plug to link monetization.

Google and Yahoo has always remained in the big picture. However, there is one big giant standing in the shadows. Windows Live is probably much better compared to its older precursor, MSN search, and is possibly comparable to the 2 top giants.
Though, Windows Live was not as well-known compared to Google and Yahoo. Rather than word-of-mouth, Microsoft decided to incorporate it into Internet Explorer 7 as the default search engine, which probably did not work as well as compared to Internet Explorer dominance in 2002.

Sometimes, in the process of building links, your links may end up in places where you may not really expect. These very places can result in a penalty. The problem is, Google expects webmasters to know that they have a problem with their websites, and they should do something about it, even if they don’t know what hit them.

This is your how-to guide to make a site look like it is penalized by Google. Getting “penalized” have its so-called benefits, because you get to assault on Google (then praise them once they assign the real PageRank) and won’t get much comment spam with links in them if they came from wary commentors.
