I have twitter and digg account but I don't really use them to generate traffic to my blogs. Anyway, for past 2 days, I've been using them to generate traffic to one of my blog regarding 'harsh blog' about Almarhum Sultan Johor.
Amazingly the blog with average 100+ trafik a day, increase extremely for more than 1000+ hits per day! Gosh, if the blog related about bisnes opportunity (or full of Google Adsense), easily I can generate some penny with the impressions.

Sounds ridiculous isn’t it? That’s not a fairy tales story. A house in Miramar Beach, Florida worth $510,587, a Gift shop worth $750,000 and luxury car - 2005 Maserati Quattroporte worth $40,000, all can be yours if you win the grand prize for “My Beach Fantasy” writing essay competition.

To enter for the competition, simply write essay no more than 200 words, tell about “My Beach Fantasy”. The judgement for the entry will be base on originality, creativity and sincerity – which carry big marks (60%) while persuasiveness and flow are 30% and grammar will be 10% of the marking.

DirecTV is a direct broadcast satellite service, which transmits digital satellite television and audio. Based on statistic, somebody will switch from cable tv to DirectTV in every 8 seconds in United States.
Why direcTV is so special?
This is because direct TV are using direct broadcast satellite (DBS), which the terms refer to satellite television broadcasts use for home reception. The quality is HD, which most people know about the perfect quality played on the screen.
I did some research and find out that DirectTV is so popular as they provide best quality for most sports, movies and news in HD quality including local channels in news, sports and other programming in HD (High Definition). The deals is unbelievable and surprising me. I wish to have directv packages here but for the time being, it’s only available in USA.

Matt Groening says, "It's really weird. I mean, I thought the show would be successful. But the fact that we're still standing here some 20 years later and talking about it is very peculiar. But very happy." ..read more @ Telegrapgh
Seriously I am a big fan of The Simpson animated series. I've been following them since I was in secondary school (probably about 15 years - since I get notice about the existence). I really admired the success of the Simson's cartoon - thanks to Matt Groening for creating this hillarious 'family' that still alive.
Good news for Malaysian citizen as now paypal has their new features with MYR (Malaysian Ringgit) as one of the accepted currency trading in the menu. Perhaps this is what we are waiting for as this is good for trades among Malaysian to use paypall as the payment gateway. We don't have to depend on forex currency beause sometime US dollar is very high which is really annoying if we just doing local online trading.
BUT, I realized that the currency converter is no longer available in the options. This means, if you have funds in 3 different currencies, you have to withdraw them one by one. The bad news is, every transaction will be charged! Now, I feel really annoyed with pay pal. Couple months before, I used to visit paypalsucks page to get know about what they are really hate about paypal.
Even I've been using pay pal since 2002, I get noticed that they start to feel 'powerful' in term of "most popular payment method" on the internet. I do agree paypal is very secure for online payment, which they do the credit card processing. On one side, they are really good for the buyer but on the other side, I think it is not fair enough for the seller. I have bad experience with paypal this year that made me think of another online payment gateway that accept credit cards.
I just applied to alertpay, which they accept credit cards online. But still waiting for verification (anyone have experience with them?? please..). I've checked with Google checkout but currently they just accept merchant from Unisted States only. I haven't look at paypay (what the hck is this huh??) or stormpay yet. How about you guys? Do you like the new paypal features?

Added to the motor is a seven-speed F1-type gearbox. The entire system, together with the new-generation E-diff 3 electronic differential, permits the same type of effect as four-wheel drive without the weight penalty."

"Selling counterfeit brands" "Perfume case involves adwords purchased from Google" "Fine against eBay far less than LVMH requested"
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 18 (Reuters) - A Paris tribunal has found that eBay Inc (EBAY.O) violated LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA (LVMH.PA) trademarks in keyword searches, but the fine of 80,000 euros ($117,600) leveled against the Internet company was far less than the French luxury brand had hoped for.
EBay said the sum was far less than the 4 million euros in damages originally requested by LVMH. But the online company that connects buyers and sellers still faces a raft of pending litigation accusing it of selling counterfeit brands on its site, putting it at risk of far steeper fines.
A host of perfume and cosmetic brands under the LVMH umbrella -- including Christian Dior, Kenzo, Givenchy and Guerlain -- had sued eBay claiming the California-based company illegally used their brands in keyword searches powered by Google Inc (GOOG.O) technology.
Unlike other lawsuits brought against eBay by luxury brands such as Tiffany & Co (TIF.N) and L'Oreal SA (OREP.PA), the LVMH case did not accuse eBay of peddling counterfeit goods. The case targeted instead the practice of buying and selling adwords that feature a brand name... click here to read more (source Reuters).
It really a shock news for me as I really can't imagine how bad it is for using 'keywords purchased' from Google Adwords. What more can I say, as 'money' is a GOD for some people. They don't really care for using, selling or copying intellectual rights property. Now ebay are in big trouble. So do other ebayers?
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — A French climber dubbed “Spiderman” for his ropeless ascents of some of the world’s highest skyscrapers finally scaled yesterday a Malaysian tower he had tried to ascend twice before, and was then arrested.
Alain Robert, 47, used the cover of pre-dawn darkness to avoid detection from security guards at the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers, and reached the top floor in around an hour and 45 minutes.
“I did try twice to climb, and climbing to the top is one of my dreams. It’s a bit like a love story, not only about climbing the tallest building to make it official... but about completing something unfinished,” Robert told Reuters ahead of the climb.

Malaysian Giant Petroleum Company will not involve with F1 next season after their partner, BMW made final decision to quit F1. BMW, the German car manufacturer will withdraw the from Formula 1 end of this season as saying "current developments in motorsport" for the reason. BMW is the second major company manufacturer quitting F1 after Honda left 8 months ago.
Petronas has made partnership with Sauber in F1 before BMW overtook the team in 2005 with Petronas still in it. But since they are not with the F1 race anymore, it will give big impact to Malaysia in term of motorsport development and branding.
