Just about a couple of months ago a product which is a supporting tool to Twitter had changed name. Besides that some of other tools which initially was free had become paid membership services.
The world is moving so fast, I happened to learned and before I realized it, it’s already considered past thing. In the internet world, things are moving really fast, and we need to quickly adapt and change otherwise it’s hard to catch up.
I’m beginning to learn things and I am really overwhelmed by this. At times it’s really scary, but I have to face it because I really think, the next thing in business is online business and social network business.

Just about a couple of days ago when I was reading a report regarding the trend and future direction of social networking, I found out that a significant sharp rise of people doing microblogging.
The fact is, microblogging is so easy to use and so lightweight. This means you can easily access to it via any devices that can hook up to internet like iphone, blackberry, even handphone as long as there able to run applications and can access to microblog.
One come to mind about microblogging is Twitter. It provides you the ability to send short messages roughly about 140 characters, and instantly you are plugged into the whole big community of all other twitterers.
Not just about that, all the latest information are in your hand in split seconds. News ranging from earthquake to big celebrity latest update, etc
I guess, this is the next big thing that is going to blow out into proportion. This twitter tool is immense and now it already opened up many other possibilities of other tools to link up with twitter such as socialoomph.com and many others.
This microblog is such a powerful tool that is taking the world by storm. I am sure it has a very bright future.

Well, yesterday I had a reading about the trend in the internet world, and it seems like bloggers out there are going to be having a good time blogging as more and more blogs are up and more and more advertisers are getting into this blogosphere for their products and services.
And of course, the blogging engine of choice is wordpress. I have gain significant insight into how the blogging works and learned a lot in just a short few days.
Once thing for sure is, I follow exactly what this Wordpress Goldmine and Blogging to the Bank system, and I’m amazed of how fast I’m found online. I was amazed that I only up my blog in few hours, and I have been indexed by search engine and found for couple of keywords.
I have done websites and pages, but I always end up need to wait for couple of days to get my site indexed. I just can’t emphasize enough of how good these 2 systems are for those who are serious about blogging. And of course, it uses the wordpress engine, and you will pickup the skill in just an hour. The concept inside pretty much cover for other blog engines as well.

I made it, now my wordpress blog is having the new theme jQ. It’s actually so simple to apply the theme.
There are 2 ways to implement new theme. Automatically within the wordpress admin panel and manual method.
The first way is I click on appearance option at the left panel of the wordpress admin panel. Then click on add new themes. Find your favourite theme, click install on the theme you would like to use for the blog. The automatic way did not work for me as there seems to be account right issue when trying to access from wordpress blog admin.
Thus I apply the manual way. I went to the wordpress theme download site and find the jQ template. After found it, I clicked on the download button. I saved the jQ.2.0.zip file to my temp directory.
Whether you are going to use ftp, cuteftp, or any other software to connect to your hosting, extract the theme to folder /wp-content/themes/
Then go to the wordpress admin panel for appearance, click themes, you will be able to see the new theme. If you unable to see it, check the correct path where you have put the directory jq. Click the activate link or simply the picture of your preferred theme and voila, I have done it.
Wordpress has made it so easy, wordpress is really good, I love it.
