Blogging Success Takes A Few Months
David A. Utter | Staff Writer
 
The popularity contest of blogging and gaining links and traffic
doesn't happen overnight. It takes time and work.
 
Content is king? Not in the heavily saturated blogosphere. Whatever
idea you have, however you choose to present it, someone, somewhere
will do it as well or better.
 
Even legendary martial artist Bruce Lee understood this. While
the Little Dragon's popularity would have earned him a massive
following had he lived long enough to blog, you probably don't
have that cushion of love.
 
Copyblogger said you won't get that love, or the valuable links
that feed a blog. Not without working it, baby.

"Bloggers link more often to their friends than anyone else.
If you write a reasonably good piece of content that interests
their audience, they'll link to you, mainly because they like
you," Copyblogger said.
 
Copyblogger offered some advice on earning this adoration. Some of
it seems more reasonable than others, like volunteering to vote
up their posts on social media sites versus writing a guest post
on a popular blog. Anyone who can get into a popular blog with a
guest post probably has enough high-powered friends to get links
from them already.
 
Networking in person, commenting intelligently on their posts
online, and conducting an interesting interview of the desired
popular blogger offer chances at longer term relationships that
could lead to inbound linking and the followers who click them.
 
Being ignored isn't any fun. Neither is hard work, but without the
latter, it's difficult to resolve the former without some ultra-rare
bit of serendipity happening for your blog. We think it's better
to depend on the hard work than a fleeting bit of good fortune.

Miss An Olympic Moment? Yahoo To The Rescue
David A. Utter | Staff Writer
 
Photos, Shortcuts add Olympic depth to Yahoo Search
 
The time difference between China and America, plus the vagaries
of NBC's scheduling, may leave people missing something at the
Summer Olympics.
 
One might be naïve enough to think in this modern era of broadband
Internet and online video that an event of Olympic magnitude
delivers enough opportunities for people to keep up with all the
events, athletes, and countries.

It's not perfect yet, even though enthusiastic fans do their best
to share video and pictures outside the official purview of the
International Olympic Committee. The clever tinkerers at the Yahoo
Search blog let everyone know they rolled out something new to
help sate the demand for Olympic content.
 
They placed an image carousel in Yahoo Search, set to appear when
querying for Olympic-related photos. Searches for swimmer Michael
Phelps or other Olympians brings forth the available, freshest
photos out of the Yahoo repository.
 
Yahoo's Shortcuts also placed a few handy ones out there to deliver
extra information to searches. Do a query at Yahoo on medal counts,
results, schedules, and get back the most current Olympic details
placed prominently in the search results.

AOL Connects With Socialthing
Doug Caverly | Staff Writer
 
This week, there have been fresh rumors about cutbacks and layoffs
at AOL.  They may or may not be true, but at least one thing hasn't
been removed from the corporate menu: an acquisition of Socialthing.
 
Socialthing is a bring-the-pieces-together site that's often
compared to FriendFeed.  It's quite young, having been founded in
2007, and remains in private beta at the moment.
 
Odds are good the acquisition will affect that last detail.  Matt
Galligan, cofounder and CEO of Socialthing, confirmed the AOL deal
on a company blog, and assured existing users, "We'll continue to
work on Socialthing! developing new features, integrating more
services and building a better back end."

He also added, "[W]e have a really cool opportunity ahead of us to
integrate into some other AOL products that might change the way you
see social aggregation.  AIM is a really big target for us, both on
the aggregation and on the publishing side . . ."
 
One thing neither Galligan nor anyone on AOL's side got into is
Socialthing's price; perhaps after so many layoffs and the $850
million matter involving Bebo, that subject's a little touchy. 
The acquisition may allow AOL to move beyond its stodgy image,
though, so a little outlay seems reasonable.

Wanted! Multi lingual mental health professionals

Wanted!  Multi lingual mental health professionals

  

So many of us are presently focused on surviving the present economic crisis and understandably we are all trying to strap on our life jackets and ride those huge financial waves of distress.  Very scary for so many of us but you know what?  I am seeing a very bright and steady light for those of you who are really interested in translation and interpretation.  Unfortunately, this bright and steady light all has to do with the spiraling rate of stress, anxiety, and depression in our economy.  Here is what I am getting at.

With a ballooning rate of stress, depression, and anxiety in our economy due to the deepening economic crisis, more and more persons are seeking the help of mental professionals and the seekers are not just English-speaking persons.  No, and right here in the United States, they are from all walks of language and what we are seeing is that these days, there is a very fast rise in the demand for mental health professionals who can speak, read, and write more than one language.  This demand is real and threatening to turn into a freight train.  The United States government is dying for foreign language professionals to help meet this demand and so too are organizations and establishments within our health sector.  This demand is not going to go away anytime soon and it would probably be a good prospect for you to check out if you are seeking translation and interpretation opportunities.

Experts Urge New Era of Global Human Rights and Equality Amidst World
Economic Turmoil
 
Press release, The Equal Rights Trust, October 21, 2008
 
London - More than 120 of the world's leading human rights and equality
experts are today calling for the most radical re-think of equal rights in
two generations as global economic turmoil holds nations in its grip.
 
Signatories from 44 nations are urging governments and individuals to back a
new declaration - 60 years after the epoch-making Universal Declaration on
Human Rights followed in the wake of World War II.
 
The new declaration, launched today in London by The Equal Rights Trust,
would transform treatment of discriminated groups across the world and is
the first ever international initiative to set out general legal principles
that define equality as a basic human right.
 
Sir Bob Hepple QC, a leading UK human rights lawyer and one of the 128
international signatories to the declaration, said: "There are growing
inequalities within and between different nations. This was a serious issue
before the current global crisis. It is now one of the most pressing issues
we face today.
 
"Recession and depression can lead to increasing exclusion and, at worst,
persecution of the most vulnerable groups within society. That is why the
Universal Declaration on Human Rights happened in 1948 and it is why we need
to establish universal equality for all human beings today."
 
The Declaration on Principles of Equality:
 
. Defines the right to equality as a basic human right and, in doing so,
combines human rights and equality law concepts.
 
. Provides a global expression of equality between discriminated people.
 
. Ensures consistency in the way different nations treat the right to
equality.
 
. Ends inconsistencies in the rights afforded to different discriminated
groups within the same societies and nations and so ends the current
hierarchy of discrimination.
 
Sir Bob, chair of the Equal Rights Trust, added: "We are making a very
serious mistake if we attempt to tackle world economic recession in
isolation from the social devastation that it could herald.
 
"Depression can result in heinous erosion of basic human rights and we need
only look at the 1930s and the consequent rise of Fascism to understand the
dangers.
 
"Without the active and positive pursuit by governments of substantive
equality, the gap between the haves and have-nots will increase
dramatically. Outsiders belonging to other identity groups, like the
foreigners in the recent riots in disadvantaged South African townships,
will be blamed. Now is the time to act decisively not only on the economy,
but at the same time on equality and human rights."
 
The new declaration is based on a total of 27 principles and will be
submitted to UN officials as part of a global campaign to win support for
the initiative.
 
The Principles move away from the pursuit of single-issue equality agendas
for particular identities such as gender, race, disability, religion, age -
which, its authors claim, have been one of the most serious weaknesses of
anti-discrimination law. The Declaration provides expert guidance for
promoting equality - even in countries where no anti-discrimination law
currently exists.
 
Renate Weber, Member of the European Parliament and one of the signatories
of the Declaration said:
 
"I have no doubt that making the Declaration legally binding would change
the current European reality. The European Union should not only adopt the
Declaration but also promote it world-wide."
 
Background information:
 
The Equal Rights Trust (ERT) is an independent international organisation
whose purpose is to combat discrimination and promote equality as a
fundamental human right and a basic principle of social justice.
 
Established as an advocacy organisation, a resource centre and a think tank,
it focuses on the complex and complementary relationship between the
different forms of discrimination, developing strategies for translating the
principle of equality into practice.
 
In all its manifestations, discrimination is the most widespread human
rights violation, affecting the greatest number of people in the world
today. Although the international community has developed legal standards to
fight discrimination and promote equality, relatively few states  have
tackled discrimination and fewer still have effectively promoted equality
using legal means.
 
Over 160 countries in the world lack effective legal protection against
discrimination and legal means to promote equality. And even in countries
where such provisions are in force, the legislation is fractured,
inconsistent, complicated and inefficient. Even in the European Union, which
has made important steps towards equality legislation, grave and systematic
discrimination is widespread.
 
The Declaration on the Principles of Equality contains 27 principles on six
key themes: equality; non-discrimination; scope and rights-holders;
obligations; enforcement; prohibitions. The Declaration is intended to
assist efforts of legislators, the judiciary, civil society organisations
and anyone else involved in combating discrimination and promoting equality.
