Is Your Website Collecting Dust?

Ref Original Article: Posted under All About Blogging on Feb 29 2016 by Robin Burton Reasons Why Fresh Content is Critical for Your Website and SEO 1. Increased engagement with customers. One of the most important reasons to update your website content is to create a constant stream of communication with your customers, which allows you to engage with them on an ongoing basis.

CES Trendspotting – Inconspicuous Innovation

Original Article BY SHELLY PALMER The pace of technological change is exponential and accelerating, and the results are hiding in plain sight. I call it “inconspicuous innovation” and it’s the top trend of 2016. Let’s have a look at some other macro trends that will be on display at CES. At first glance, CES® 2016 looks a lot like CES 2015. Approximately 3,600 exhibitors will announce approximately 20,000 new products. And while CES 2016 is set to be the largest, most diverse yet — there aren’t too many (if any) groundbreaking, game-changing or revolutionary (choose your hyperbole) new products. TVs…

The decision comes several months after Google stopped forcing new users to create accounts under its social network, which has failed to become the Facebook and Twitter competitor Mountain View once hoped…

The 3-step plan to make your website harder to hack

Original Article PC World By Robert Lemos Online attackers are increasingly targeting websites to make a statement, send spam or flood someone else’s network. Protecting your online brand requires vigilance. When a big website like Lenovo’s gets hacked, it’s news. But most such attacks take place under the radar, at smaller sites lacking the skills or time to protect themselves. Take the legions of Wordpress-based sites, which got a rude awakening last year when many thousands of them were hacked. Don’t be one of those sites. Even if you don’t use Wordpress, you can learn important lessons from what those…

Google’s New Search Algorithm Stokes Fears Of ‘Mobilegeddon’

Original NPR article By Sam Sanders Google has a lot of algorithms. And the company updates them on a regular basis. But one update that started rolling out Tuesday has tech writers across the Internet warning of a coming "Mobilegeddon." The change is only taking place on Google searches made on smartphones. The results will favor websites deemed "mobile friendly," giving them higher rankings than sites that are only optimized for desktops and laptops. Google spokeswoman Krisztina Radosavljevic-Szilagyi elaborated on the changes in a statement e-mailed to NPR. "As people increasingly search on their mobile devices," she said, "we want…

FCC’s net neutrality rules open door to new fee on Internet service

By JIM PUZZANGHERA • Original LA Times Article Photos: (Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images)   Recently adopted net neutrality regulations soon could make your monthly Internet bill more complicated — and potentially more expensive. Every month, consumers pay a small fee on their phone bills for a federal program that uses the money — a total of $8.8 billion raised nationwide last year — to provide affordable access to telecommunications services in rural areas, underserved inner cities and schools. Now the fee could start appearing on broadband bills too, in a major expansion of the nearly two-decade-old Universal Service Fund program. It's not clear yet, however,…

A Safer Internet for Our Children? We Need Better Tools For Managing Their Digital Lives

Over the years, I think we’ve tried just about everything to manage our kids’ access to the Internet. We’ve installed a half dozen Web monitoring programs on every computer in the house, changed the WiFi network passwords countless times, and spent hours on the phone with our wireless carrier getting them to throttle our kids’ data plans. Original Article Dan Tynan Tech Columnist It was a total frigging pain. And my wife and I are both geeks. Imagine what it has been like for non-tech savvy parents.
