Dr. Rankin, professor of History at UT Dallas, wanted to know how to reach more students and involve more people in class discussions both in and out of the classroom. She had heard of Twitter… She collaborated with the UT Dallas, Arts and Technology – Emerging Media and Communications (EMAC) www.emac.utdallas.edu faculty and as a Graduate student in EMAC I assisted her in her experiment. I documented the experiment for a digital video class with Professor Dean Terry, @therefore, and assisted Dr. Rankin in the experiment as a part of my collaboration and content creation course with Dan Langendor, @dlangendorf. It was a real pleasure to work with Dr. Rankin – a forward-thinking professor open to the intelligent use of new media.

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) July 16, 2007

Podcast Ready, Inc. is proud to celebrate the launch of its new “100k Play” Contest which will last until August 31, 2007. Contestants accumulate points during the contest and then the winner’s podcast is placed as a default in the myPodder™ software. The show will remain a default in the program until 100,000 unique downloads of the podcast have been accomplished.

To enter the “100K Play” Contest, podcasters simply email 100kplay @ podcastready.com with their contact information, show’s name, website address, feed address, and relevant promotional code (if applicable). Then the podcasters must accumulate points through a variety of different methods such as registering listeners for new accounts at PodcastReady.com, making promotional videos, and many more.

The “100K Play” Contest is also offering a variety of other prizes in addition to the grand prize of the unique opportunity for one podcaster to obtain as many as 100,000 new listeners. Three names on the list of all the shows entered into the contest will be selected at random and given placements on the myPodder™ software to drive 10,000 downloads each. Also one listener will receive a free Ipod Video by entering the winning podcast’s promotional code.

Russell Holliman, founder and CEO of Podcast Ready, explained, “As the default media receiver for millions of MP3 players, the Podcast Ready system is an ideal way for producers to gain exposure and grow their audience. This contest will provide several podcasters with a great opportunity to take their shows to the next level and really highlight the distribution options that Podcast Ready provides.”

This contest is provided free by Podcast Ready, which developed the myPodder™ software. myPodder™ runs directly from an MP3 player instead of from a single computer. The player simply needs to be plugged into any computer so that all the podcasts subscribed to can be downloaded. The “100K Play” Contest defaults the winning podcast onto the software so that every MP3 player with myPodder™ on it will download the show.

Details about the “100K Play” Contest is available at http://www.100kplay.com. For more information about Podcast Ready and the myPodder™ software, visit http://www.podcastready.com/.

Darko Rundek – Grane smo na vjetru{yahooanswerstitle}

Posted by admin On October - 4 - 2010

Grane smo na vjetru – Apokalipso, 1997 Darko Rundek (born January 30, 1956) is a Croatian rock singer, songwriter, poet, and actor. His music career started in the early ’80s, as the frontman of the world music influenced rock band Haustor. Living in France since 1991, he recorded three albums with various musicians from different parts of the world: U širokom svijetu, Apokalipso and Ruke. The last was a concept album about a group of musicians traveling on a cargo ship. Darko Rundek started his solo career in 1995 at the Croatian music festival Fiju Briju before an audience of 10 000 people, where he presented new musical material which was to be developed during the following series of concerts throughout Croatia. The album Apokalipso (apocalypse+calypso) was recorded in 1997 with a multitude of instruments and musicians. The album was stylistically very diverse, viewing the post-communist era with irony and poetry. Apokalipso was the music event of 1997 in Croatia. It won 5 Porins (song of the year, hit of the year, best male singer, best video clip, best vocal collaboration), and 4 Black Cats (song of the year for Apokalipso, best rock singer, best rock collaboration, best video clip).

Cheshire, United Kingdom (PRWEB) April 11, 2010

SearchEngineOptimization.co.uk, a leading SEO firm based in the north west of England, comment on the news that AOL are planning to either sell or close down social networking website Bebo.

AOL acquired Bebo in March 2008 for 0million but have decided to cut their losses on the social networking site, with rumours stipulating that it could be shut down as soon as May of 2010. Although a favourite with younger teenage users, Bebo often found itself struggling to fit into the social media market despite its early success, having since lost out to MySpace in the music scene and Facebook in the wider social networking context.

However, despite the high-profile casualty, SearchEngineOptimization.co.uk believe this could be a turning point in the social media marketing revolution. Specialists in the field of SEO, SearchEngineOptimization.co.uk have always insisted that social media marketing and search engine optimisation go hand in hand, and that SMO is a pivotal factor in attracting new traffic to a website as part of a carefully crafted SEO campaign.

“Obviously the loss of Bebo is going to be felt by a lot of users. We feel though that it is an indicator to how strong and competitive the social media movement has become and it shows that websites using SMO as part of their online marketing strategy can benefit from this streamlining,” commented a spokesperson for SearchEngineOptimization.co.uk. “The major social websites that remain will only get stronger as they corner this further share of the market and present excellent opportunities for those looking to improve their online reputation management. SMO is a great way to get your name and services out there as a company and attract new users to your website. We are experts in social media marketing here at SearchEngineOptimization.co.uk, and can offer a free SEO analysis to those who are looking to adopt the benefits of an SEO and SMO campaign.”

Question by TEDDY Z: How do you take your “domain name” from one site builder company to another?
I want to change companies because I found a company that will give me more for my money. But, I registered my domain name with the first company. Is there a way that I can transfer it. I know that if I apply for the same domain name, it will come up as already being used by someone. And that someone is me. So can somebody explain this to me? How can I use my same domain name with the other company who will also host it for me?

Best answer:

Answer by fuzgoat
Look at the company sites that you are transferring from/to for a form or FAQ on this. Some sites make it hard to transfer out, but they have to allow this. If you can’t find it on their site, call or email their support number. You can also refer to the ICANN transfer requirements that registrars have agreed to.
