The Evolution of Video Clips

In 2006, there were millions of video clips uploaded online. Also with the spread of broadband Internet access, video clips went very famous online. Video clips is the word accepted for any short video clips, mostly less than the length of traditional TV shows.

The popularity of online video clips continued to grow very fast. Its popularity became a 'clip culture'. It is similar to the 'lean-back' era of watching traditional movies, commonly less than 15 minutes. Clip culture began in 2005 when websites like YouTube, Google Video and Yahoo! Video offered video clips uploading.

There were various kinds of videos uploaded such as funny cartoon videos, odd videos, talent showcasing videos and amazing videos. Common sources for these video clips are news, movies, music video and homemade videos.

Online video advertising also became an effective venue to bring an effective message to their potential clients. MAGNA estimated that money spent on online video advertisement reached around US$700 million in 2008. Since companies want to budget their advertising costs, online video advertising still proves to positive results-driven delivery venue.

In addition, video uploading sites became a platform for amateurs to show their special skills. According to the report of The Economist in May 2006, 90% of Youtube video clips were from young comedians like the two famous Chinese students Huang Yixin and Wei Wei (Back Dorm Boys) who showed their skills by lip-synching a song of the Backstreet Boys. After uploading their funny video clip on Youtube, many TV shows have asked them to be their guests. They even receive a contract from a recording company in Beijing to lip-sync some famous songs.

In addition to showcasing talents, online video clips became a good venue for citizen journalism. Like in the December 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, many tourists became instant news reporters of the natural disaster.

My Google Maps Experience

When I first use the Internet, I often chance upon such terms like Google maps whenever I click on the home site. I always ignore it because I don't exactly have a clue on where to use it, and furthermore I don't even need it on those occasions. I only search a certain location or place with the aid of numerous search engines. Until one day, one of my internet savvy friends introduced Google maps to me. I took advantage of Google maps one time and it provided me with a good outcome. Searching a certain place was made a lot easier because of this program. The word alone, I already know what it is all about, and it is exactly what it literally means. My very first observation with Google maps was good. If and only if I was able to discover what's with it before, perhaps, bringing my not-so-little map when we go out of city was of not necessary after all.

Since then, I started sharing it with my co-workers, too. I'm so thankful to Google maps because everything is made easy. From now on, I have another thing to keep myself busy with and that is searching more about it.

What does Google Mean?

Nowadays, Google is considered as one of the most favored names on the Internet and this was backed upon by so many surveys employed by the research agencies. Because of its brand, majority the net users are often talking about it as if it's a person. However have you ever questioned yourselves what does Google mean? On an entry in one of the most widely-used web-based resources, Google means a name used for an web-based search engine. This brand often occurs in print as a verb, commonly in lowercase. The name started as a move to boast about the quantity of information the search engine can look for. It was initially named 'Googol', a word meaning 1 followed by 100 zeros. It is a very large value. The truth is, there isn't a googol of something in the created universe. Google's use of the word replicates Google's vision to reorder the varied amount of data and make it widely handy and useful. Since it is a company name, Google is a noun. However, now, it broadens and likely to become a verb as numerous users refer to the action of doing their research in the Internet as "googling".

Is Google Translation Accurate?

I was tasked by my client to a write a 350 word count article on the world's seven wonders for my extra output. I was only given a day to have it completely written however I'm aware I will run out of time. I imagined of a thought of what to write but I'm doubtful on where to start. I first created a draft with many of lapses, also a little bit on sentence and grammar order. To make it easier for me, I set up first everything in Filipino then I pasted the whole article in the Google translation.

Actually at first, I was having second thought in using Google translation because I have plenty of questions like "Is Google translate accurate?" "Is it really useful and easy to use?". However, I've heard a lot of positive things from my fellow writer that Google translation is extremely helpful though it does not yield an accurate result because most of the time, the translation is done word by word and not by context. An hour before the day ended, I was done writing the article. I have written the final output with images and captions. What ate up most of my time was actually the research that I've done since I don't have enough information about the topic, but still, I was able to make it close to perfect. Thanks to Google translation, it was such a big help.

The next thing to do is to decide if you like to self-host your blog or to avail the service of a hosting company. Next is to register the domain; this is usually the company or personal name that the blog will belong to. This step is very important since this will relate to your website. When doing this be sure that it is something you won't forget easily and as short as possible. This will make it a lot easy for your target customers and even prospects to find your site.

The Day I Became a Google Fan!

I remember when I was still a newbie, the very first browser I've used was Internet Explorer. Mind you,  it was the only browser I've known during those days.

I remember signing up my personal email address and chatting with my YM account, long before social networking websites start to exist. Before I finish my elementary days, the last homework that my teacher gave to our whole class was to present a research on various foreign scientists and their works. We were tasked to compile them and since I found it burdensome to search all of them in our disctrict library, I decided to do my research on the internet. I opened google.com and started doing my research. Good thing Google gave me plenty of foreign inventors to choose from. I was really impressed on how fast it delivers information that's why from then on, I depended solely on Google whenever I do online researches.

I was able to finish it completely in only one day. Thanks to Google for their reliable search results. From then on, I became a Google fan and it never crossed my mind to try out any other search engine aside from it.

Your Investment Risk Tolerance: What It Is and Why It Is Important

Whether you manage your own assets or work with a financial counselor, more likely you've heard about investment risk tolerance.

By definition, Risk tolerance is "The degree of uncertainty that an investor can handle in regard to a negative change in the value of his or her portfolio" (Risk tolerance, 2010).

In other words, risk tolerance is a measure of how much you are willing to lose when the business goes down. Most Americans knew what their true risk tolerance when financial crisis broke out – not the best time to find out. Best way to know your risk tolerance is to answer a questionnaire. You can use those that are available online or at a financial adviser's office.

There is no generic questionnaire, but they all have almost the same questions, example:

When will you need the money from this particular account?

What are your plans for this investment?

What is your net worth?

You don't have to worry because, there are multiple choices and there most of the time not that many. You will be categorized according to the result of your answers.

There are 3 types of risk tolerance: conservative, moderate and aggressive. Regardless, the often used charts are moderately conservative and moderately aggressive risk tolerance as well. It is important to be aware of your risk tolerance because it is the very foundation of putting up a personal investment portfolio. Differences in risk tolerance promotes different combination of fixed and equity investments as well as growth and value investments in the given portfolio.

Conservative investors have the lowest risk tolerance; because they choose not to sacrifice any money or to lose very little. Obviously they are also willing to negotiate for a lower return. They stay with investments with guaranteed rates of return such as money market accounts, CDs and bonds with very little hazards to stocks. The basic combination of fixed and equity investments in a conservative portfolio is 80/20.

Moderate investors can stand some gamble; it's either they have plenty of time before they need the money or they have many of assets to compensate for the losses. Oftentimes moderate portfolios call for around 50/50 combination of resources.

Aggressive investors can carry the most risk in hopes of getting the highest returns. They often have high net worth and can invest in such instruments as real estate investment trusts, unit investment trusts, limited partnerships and other investment vehicles not available to an average American. Commonly the fixed-equity investment combination in an aggressive portfolio is 20/80. There are even some who goes for 100% in the market.

Before putting your investments and thinking of ways on how to get rich, make sure to know your risk tolerance and devise an appropriate investment allocation for your portfolio. If you are on the conservative side, a wrong allocation will make you anxious and panicky about losses. However, if you are a moderately aggressive or an aggressive investor, an overly conservative portfolio will leave you unhappy with returns.

Going for funny ads is quite complex and challenging. You have to make sure that the whole stuff is acceptable for the products and it should also be fitted to the intended customers. While creating these funny ads, you should always consider that humor should come very naturally. The number one important goal of an advertisement is to make the message sensibly. Your advertisement might be comical but it must never alter the message that it wanted to carry out. If people only laugh at the advertisement and will not notice the actual message so what is the use of giving such actions?

One more essential thing is that you should create an ad that is witty, which certainly grab your viewers' attention. If you are watching the advertisements on and on, you will see that most funny ads are for the products that are not expensive and demand littlest thought before purchasing them. Examples of these products are food, toys, and commonly used goods. Making viewers laugh is never easy, because humor should come out in the most natural way and is not something that uses a lot of force. A humor that is forced can be right away sensed by a viewer, making the advertisement appear to be inexpensive in quality. Television advertisement production is really pricey.

Who Started Google

I remember, I've chance upon numerous reading materials and based from some online researches that I have done before, the the guy who made Google was from India. While I was relaxing on the see-saw in our village park, I surprisingly asked myself the thought of who started Google, because as I must say, I am a huge fan of this site. From there, I decided of visiting our university library for three days just to be enlightened of who is the creator of Google. I've found out that he was indeed a boy named Krishna Bharat who lived in Bangalore, India. However there was a different story that I came across. On the article, Google was invented by two university students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Google at first has started as a project to further develop the way how information were processed online, and it was only in 1997 that it was registered as Google. After reading several books and other online resources, I got confused since I read two different information. However, my quest did not end there. I dug deeper and deeper on my research but most of the stories that I read were same with the second story. That's why, I can now affirm myself that it was really Larry Page and Sergey Brin who created the Google.
