Few secrets revealed

This is a sneak preview of features that are just around the corner on GoITExpert.com. We've been working hard to bring more value to our loyal readers and I believe we have done that with the upcoming releases of new services on GoITExpert.com

First in the bag of tricks is the Ask The Expert section, a place where our readers can ask technology related questions and have them answered by their fellow readers or by our in house experts. This will allows to gather new material for articles and bring more value to our readership as a whole.

Second, is the new Company Profile section, a place where our readers can submit profiles of their technology companies. The main benefit is of course our readers. They get free exposure on goitexpert.com through recently profile section. From time to time we will profile these companies gaining more material for our website and helping our readers get recognized better.

Third, is the creation of dedicate Technology centers for most popular operating systems. No more on this, since it is still in the development.

For now take care.

Release Schedule
1) Ask The Expert (Nov 29, 2007)
2) Company Profile (Dec 14, 2007)

Technoratti Is Missing some brain cells

Recently Technorati announced a new CEO. This move made many people excited for they were hoping that this would help Technorati focus on its core blog search offering, which had been all but ignored as the company tried to do new things in order to please everybody. I wish they would master one thing well, before moving on.

It's been noticed that Technorati has dropped the index of blog posts older than 6 months. I guess the new CEO really, really knows what makes people come back to their site.

It might that he is missing a few braincells, because blog post search feature was most likely the most useful tool on the site.

We'll see what happens.

What's going on with GoITExpert

It has been a while since I blogged about the progress of GoITExpert.com, and today I will talk about briefly what we have been up to and what's in store for the future.

First, we've improved the artilces/howtos arsenal of our site, now you can find more information than ever before. Tips and tricks on all possible topics related to the Internet, Computers, OSes and technology in general.

But that's not all we have done. During the last month, we have released our newest project X9Live.com The Technology Blogs Network - a website dedicated to helping us promote GoITExpert and this blog and also any other technology related blog/site that meets our guidelines. The basic goal of this project is to help build a quality brand of technology sites, certified by X9Live to be reliable and trustworthy. Also, by creating this network, we also help these blogs with gaining the initial backlinks needed to get known and recognized. Member blogs are required to submit previews of their articles/posts to X9Live and we provide backlinks to the main blog page and the article page in return.

We hope this endeavour works and we bring more traffic and better recognition to the lesser known quality technology blogs.

What's in store for us next? Well it is a bit of a secrete, when we are done, we'll let everyone know. For now, we focus on more content for GoITExpert and promoting X9Live.com

Google hitting 700 mark

In the after hours trading, google has hit a $700 dollars a share mark. What is wrong with people in this world. Why do keep endorsing this monopolizing every market segment it touches giant. Everyone remembers the time when Microsoft became the "bad guy". Is Microsoft a still bad guy or has Google replaced and surpassed Microsoft in its evil schemes.

Just look at what they have or are trying to monopolize. The Search - now they can decided and enforce their own rules on who should appear in their search results. Never before have the search engines dictated how one should build their site and what content and links one could have on it. But thanks to Google, webmasters all over now have to build their site around Google's rules and requirements. Why is it that we are giving up our right as a consumer to tell corporations what we want, not what they want us to want.

Next is YouTube, the video sharing at its best, has been monopolized by Google, albeit not started by them, but certainly in the good ol' spirit of Microsoftyism, acquired and turned into a sole monopoly by Google. No other website commands such popularity and user involvement than YouTube, and now Google will be able to tell us what we can upload or watch on it. Sure, you might make an argument that people can easily switch over to MetaCafe or anyone else, I would reply, sure people could go back to Yahoo or MSN for search, but they wont, because a few people do not like change and will suffer through limitations and abuses until they become unbearable. Fortunately for Google, they know how the human mind works, and realize that they must get people accustomed to they own way slowly. People don't like change, but change is always good.

Then there is the social networking, they tried to buy Facebook, but were refused at the door. So they started their own Social Networking API, got most of the Facebook competitors on board, will now command a huge army of developers and providers to steer their way to victory over Facebook.

For now, this is it. Take care.

Domplayer 3Wplayer Fix

Recently a bunch of hose bags have been upping files on Torrents sites that require a “special player” to see the video. This player is full of spyware, Trojans, viruses and crap! Often the video is still the original, or decent quality. Here is how to decrypt these videos and watch them without this crap special player.

When you play the video you’ll be presented with a screen telling you that you don’t have the appropriate player and that you need to visit a particular website to get the player.

http://download.domplayer.com/

Once you download it, it will most likely say that you are not in a country that they can accept payment from! Bullshit!

They then redirect you to another site. The 3wPlayer. This is the spyware laden piece of crap.

Often the files themselves are pretty good, it’s just the header information that is being incorrectly read. There are two tracks for video in an AVI file and most player read one of them. This player picks up the other one, making the file play a few seconds and the rest appear to be garbage.

You can download a utility from Wildman Productions that will remove the crap and allow you to play the video normally.

It is mirrored on our site here.

Once you download it, just simply run the file.
