San Francisco (InfoWorld) – Near-Time later this month plans to launch a hosted collaboration service for creating workspaces that leverage blogs, wikis, and group calendar functions. The service, also called Near-Time, allows workers to instantly launch collaborative communities via any Web browser. Members can choose to collaborate privately and make some or all of the content publicly available. The service is designed to combine the nonlinear, ad-hoc nature of wikis with the time-sensitive, broadcast essence of blogs. Near-Time is based on standards such as rSS, XML, Atom, and Ajax and allows content to be reused. The service is currently available in a free beta version. The commercial launch will include a free, entry-level service and fee-based advanced services, including encryption, domain mapping, and file sharing. Service pricing will start at $4.95 per month.

 Website Ranking Key Words Things to Think About Before You Start Designing
I designed a website once for streaming audio, this was the key word I was to use streaming website audio, this sounds like a good key word phrase! When it got onto Google it made number one, wow I thought I should get lots of hits with this? I got a grand total of 0 hits, why do you think that was? It's all to do with supply and demand only around 135 people typed these key words in and the demand is around 620000 websites doing the same thing.

 Beyond Keyword Demand
I get half of the world traffic for the term "dirtbagging," on one page of my backpacking site, but that only means ten visitors a month. Without decent keyword demand you can't ever get much traffic. Total demand is just one factor to consider, though. Here are some others. 1. Demand/supply ratio. There were 289,000 searches for "fishing" last month, but could you compete against the 35,000,000 results on a Google search? "Bass fishing tips," with 3,700 searches, and 31,000 results is a more likely winner. 2. Total supply. For....

 It’s A Blog, Not A Sales Letter
The recent spurt of interest in blogging has begun to ignite the hope that people can make a full-time income from blogging. Although there are a few people actually doing this, there aren't too many business models yet that can support someone making a full-time income from their blogs. I believe that blogs should be an important part of any traffic-generation plan for a website, but don't depend on the blog itself to do much selling. Blogs are best viewed as an addition to site content, in reality, a very simple content management system that helps you update your site more frequently, so....

 Podcasting Trend
Dear Friend,Podcasting has all the ingredients to become a major technology trend. Podcasting has started with little fanfare but has the potential to become a giant wave due to a number of factors going for it. The word Podcast might have been roughly derived from iPod and broadcast (it sure sounds like that to me so don't hit me if I am wrong! ). The process works pretty much like radio except that the broadcast is done via mobile devices and the power of content delivery via the internet.....

 Successful Online Fire Sale Explained
A fire sale, essentially, is a sale in which during the first couple days the product can be found at an extremely low and appealing price. Sometimes, the seller will even take a loss in profits during this time. This period is intended simply to attract buyers and increase demand, not necessarily to raise any significant amounts of profits. Once the buyers have been hooked, over the next few days, the seller will gradually increase the price and eventually reach the original intended price and then begin to see true profits from the firesale. The key is to try and....
