Online diaries and journals have been around almost as long as the World Wide Web (Justin Hall and Carolyn Burke had a mixture of personal information and commentary online by late 1994).
Instead of forwarding check this out! URL on http://www.thoughts.com/ to your friends, you could post them on the web for anyone to see. A weblog's popularity would grow depending on the uniqueness and novelty of the sites you linked, and the commentary you'd provide about them.
Home Business With Blogs
As a work from home internet business entrepreneur you have several really good tools on the internet you can take advantage of in order to build your work from home business. A blog is just one of those tools that you can use and should be taking advantage of.
In recent months blogs have become more and more popular all over the internet. A blog, or weblog, is a personal Web site updated frequently with links, commentary and anything else you like. People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger. ( http://www.blogger.com ) At blogger.com Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process. This makes it very simple to create several 100 pages within a site all with the same look and feel but with different content. This of coarse is exactly what the major search engines are looking for.
There are several reasons why a work from home internet business entrepreneur like my self would use blogs in their arsenal of marketing tools. The number one reason for me is to gain better search engine exposure. I have several blogs already started. Two are merely work from home business article databases. Every time I write a new article or find a good one someone else wrote, I submit it into my blog which crates a new page in my site. The search engines will find and spider this new page. I also have a work from home tips blog which I try to post several good tips to each week. This is all great content for my work from home internet business web site that my visitors will hopefully want to read.
Blogs also create opportunities for more search engine submissions. Recently with the popularity of blogs special blog search engines have started to emerge. The only way you can submit to one of these special blog search engines is if you have a blog yourself. Blogs create a special rss or xml files that these search engines will look for.
Setting up your blog may initially take some time and effort but it's made much simpler if you use blogger.com. But do not use bloggers hosting service. Be sure to use your own domain and hosing service. This will get you the best results with the search engines. Once you have chosen your main template look and feel of your blog all you need to do is keep posting new and good content that your readers would be interested in to your blog. Eventually over time you will have 100's pages of great content that your visitors will enjoy reading all spidered by the major search engines giving you more traffic and exposure.

Hacking alat Pacu jantung (ICD)
Alat yang berbentuk kecil dan lebih kurang sebesar pager tersebut yang lebih dikenal dalam dunia kedokteran dengan sebutan implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) banyak di pakai (mungkin oleh ribuan manusia di dunia), alat ini berguna untuk memberikan dukungan pada pasien yang menderita kelainan jantung, alat ini bahkan memiliki alat pemacu jantung yang berguna untuk meningkatkan (menormalkan) detak jantung yang terlalu lambat, bahakan memberikan kejutan listrik untuk jantung yang berdetak terlalu kencang. alat ini juga menyimpan informasi detak jantung yang sangat bermanfaat bagi analisa para ahli jantung.
Simulasi yang dilakukan oleh para peneliti dari Medical Device Security Center ini adalah dengan melakukan hacking terhadap ICD yang di buat oleh Medtronic dengan menggunakan komputer, peralatan radio dan antena. ICD tersebut juga tidak sedang digunakan oleh pasien. Para hacker ini membuktikan dengan cara membuat ICD tidak memberikan respon semestinya terhadap prilaku jantung. Bahkan dapat membuat ICD mengirimkan kejutan terhadap jantung.
Pihak Medical Device security center juga menginggatkan bahwa pihak pengembang dapat menambahkan fitur-fitur pengaman unutk mencegah terjadinya hal-hal tersebut, seperti melengkapi ICD dengan fitur untuk mendeteksi apabila terjadi intrusi, dan mengembangkan enkripsi untuk mengamankan proses otentikasi para ahli jantung/dokter.
Dijelaskan juga bahwa seorang penyerang haruslah berada dalam jarak yang relatif dekat dengan pasien dan juga memerlukan peralatan yang tepat. Dijelaskan juga bahwa peralatan yang digunakan oleh pihak medical device untuk melakukan demonstrasi tersebut menghabiskan dana $30.000 (sekitar 300 juta rupiah).
Sampai saat ini belumlah satu pasien pun yang terlukai oleh metode dan demonstrasi yang di sampaikan. Sedangkan dari pihak Metronic selaku pengembang ICD tersebut menjanjikan bahwa di versi terbaru keluaran mereka, sinyal radio yang dikirimkan hanya akan berjarak 10 meter, dan akan lebih meningkatkan keamanannya.

About Blog Hosting

A company may decide to do the following depending on its capacity and needs: 1) Host their own blog service, 2) Pay someone else to host the service, or 3) Setup a “blog aggregator page” and ask the employees to select their blog hosting services individually. There are paid and free services available for individuals.
For business blogs, they are required to have the latest blogging features; if not, this will prevent them from maximizing their marketing, public relations and SEO potentials.
Keep in mind that blogs should have the following basic essentials:
COMMENTS. Welcoming comments provide opportunity for dialogue. In business blogs, they are a good customer feedback mechanism. This helps develop better customer relations based from loyalty and trust. Blogging is an innovative way to converse with your customers.
TRACKBACK. This helps in maximizing company and product exposure. Through this service, consumers can get back to you for more posts and updates without the difficulty of locating you. If your blog is popular in a specific online community chances are links going back to your blog site are everywhere online, other blog sites or even websites.
CATEGORIES AND TAGS. These both help in classifying blog searches for ease of navigation and on site search. Categories act as libraries because it classifies posts by subject matter such as business, distance learning, e-commerce, online auctions, etc. Tags, help in the classification, especially in the blog search engine Technorati. Possible customers and new clients locate blogs about certain topics of interest by just clicking the tags.
RSS FEED. Really Simple Syndication is the feed from your blog that is sent out over the internet, and collected through the various newsreaders and aggregators.
If your company is to establish a business blogging program, considerable options should be made available by the hosting companies shortlisted for the services. Free blog hosting services are popular but they are much appropriate for individual online journals. Paid blog hosting services offer unlimited packages best for your company’s needs. You may want to suggest checking out some blogs that use the host first, read and examine their layout and design. Another important thing to consider is a reliable technical support the host has.
After, choosing the blog host, a team should be ready to plan the design and structure of the blog: The team should:
? create a style that meets the needs of the audience
? establish an open, credible tone
? schedule weekly updating of blog - ideally, a few times a week
? include weblinks of other website and blogs
? blog post should be in the first person
? focus on the business blog objective
? maintain an honest, engaging conversational quality.
Remember, whatever the look, style and content found on your blog is a reflection of you and your company.
5 Tips to be successful in problogging
- Be patient. Problogging requires a lot of time and effort, not to mention a long-term vision.
- Know your audience. Targeting a specific audience or group is a key to building a readership.
- Be an 'expert'. Focus on a specific niche topic and strive to be the "go-to" blogger on that topic.
- Diversify. Experiment with various add and affiliate programs that enable you to make money online (aside from blogging).
- Do not bore your readers. Focus on the layout. White spaces, line spacings, and bigger fonts make a blog welcoming to read.

Choose The Right Niche For Blog

A lot of Blogger that I know have been considering launching a blog of their own, be it for fun, necessity or money, what most of them ask me, however, is in what area or niche to start in. Inspired by their questions I’ve decided to do a write up on the matter, to thoroughly guide anyone that considers opening a new blog, thorough the delicate process of choosing a blog niche. First thing first, let’s do a quick definition of the word niche.
A niche is a certain area of expertise in which you’ll exercise your skills, basically a niche is sorta’ a topic or theme, but no quite. The main difference between a niche and a topic is specialization and focus, which leads to a smaller audience, then the broader topic, but that exact specialization and focus ensures a more loyal readership. As a example you can take the Internet as a topic and Blogging as a niche.
