I hope that this problem is solicione, in any case we must write the intervention of the chancery to protect our money.
I'm from Peru and it is not possible that gripped our money easily.

To Ian and Stan above, Please help, I have been a conned global bullion exchange in lake worth fl. as well. I was told i could get 1000oz silver for 8000 when the market was at 18 oz. because they had an institutional order so i could get a big discount. Later i find out i was charged a 15% commision on the full metal value than i find out it was a margin account that the metal had to increase in value over 3.50 dollars to even break even.non of these facts were disclosed up front. when the metal fell in value 1.35 i was told i was in margin and had to send in more money or my account was a total loss. when i tried to sell out i was hung up on. I suspect no silver exists and this is a fraud and a ponzi scam. please send me the contact so i can report this fraud to the proper authorites. i would not want others to get in to this if somethings to good to be true....it is.......

No, Drudge's auto-refresh

Pansopher — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 22:53:12 -0700

No, Drudge's auto-refresh (about every 3 minutes) doesn't exagerate the site's "session count" -- unlike the more primitive "hit count," is is how the internet metrics folks measure the site's popularity.

Netratings.com (among other net traffic gathering sites) explains this. And see the page at the Newspaper Association of America: www.naa.org/blog/digitaledge/1/2008/06/Nielsen-Drudge-Report-Leads-Top-3...

(You can check out more info on the topic of "sessions" at Wikipedia, and/or delve into it at pages like http://javapapers.com/servlet-interview-questions/explain-the-methods-us... )

Actually, instead of inflating the statistics, Drudge's site numbers are perhaps *lower* than they might be, since many readers (me included) just keep a browser tab open to DrudgeReport all day, every day, and never close it -- which, ironically, works out to a *single* session. (I routinely close that tab only when I reboot my system, which is about once every 2 weeks.) A session only counts more than once if you leave the domain for another website and then return again to Drudge, but I just keep the page open and pop up new tabs for any news articles that Drudge points me to.

So for me, an avid reader/scanner of news, I view the refreshed DrudgeReport page maybe 300 times a month, but only generate 2 or 3 *sessions*.

"...completely ignoring

JV — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:53:33 -0700

"...completely ignoring these communication channels may damage a company's ability to better understand its customers."

Amen! Companies that don't embrace web 2.0 technologies, such as blogs and wikis, will find themselves as obsolete as buggy whip manufacturers.

For those of you looking to start a blog, MoreVisibility offers a great whitepaper called The Importance of Blogs in Your Marketing Efforts. It's written for marketers and explains why blogs should be a part of every marketing campaign.

What hasn't been discussed

Cheryl — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:07:46 -0700

What hasn't been discussed is Palin's stance on her political issues and how these will affect the American people. For example her political stance on abstinence and sex education. Considering that she would not fund these programs as a govenor how will her being VP affect what will happen to our teens? Considering that abstinence education did not prevent a pregnancy for her daughter, will she now consider that both abstinence and sex education should be taught to teens?
This is very important to me as woman who once was a young girl who would have made better decisions provided that my mother would have discussed safe sex practices ALONG WITH abstinence. This is one of the issues why I can not identify with Palin and why she would not get my vote. We need to coexist and work together not the bully barracuda, pit bull with lip stick!! McCain is going to really have a hard time saying he is willing to reach across the aisle with her on his ticket!

The Glass Ceiling will be cracked, but she is not the woman who will do it!

I'm a Weboot user but I already have ElephantDrive for backup. It's a way better deal and I've been there for a while, so I'm not going to switch unless there is a real compelling reason - is there?

Hi Jordan, Actually the 2D

Philip — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:58:12 -0700

Hi Jordan,
Actually the 2D Codes are not that common in Europe either, they are getting a little bit more attention there but overall it is not much different than in the US. However: The user-awareness is rising fast and more and more people are understanding the value of 2D Codes. For example Ralph Lauren (http://b.snappr.net/sm6yn ) had a campaign started with 2D Codes and mobile content just some weeks ago. And sites like our www.snappr.net also offer possibilities for consumers to create their own 2D Codes and generate mobile content.

I think 2D Codes will get quiet some traction and popularity on this side of the globe within the next six to twelve months. And I am not only so enthusiastic because I work in that area ;)
Cheers,
Philip

Rob Wilson — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 08:08:39 -0700

The VPD has since had even greater success in using social media sites like Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vancouver-Police-Department/14107336626) and YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/vpdonline) to reach potential police recruits. (Full disclosure: my company, iContext Internet (http://www.icontext.com), worked with the VPD to develop their social media strategy.)

stanley steger — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 08:05:34 -0700

they are tied to the big banks chase, bank of america, citi, in some way while the exchange sells long positions for as much as possible the banks short positions winding up with your money and the cftc does nothing. that is global bullion exchange

i am so surprise about the

henry — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 07:40:47 -0700

i am so surprise about the position of Ms rionge.
it looks like she hasn t got any qualification in leading such a function.
Leaving college not university she was a hairdresser and from her inability to develop her previous company within the internet field how can she has this position. ?

It must be one of theses cases when someone with noreal educational background makes believe of her abilities.

it must be Barclays

I am surprise that telkom kenya under the leadership of Njeri rionge launches 512 bandwitdh as she always beleiev Telkom kenya could offer 1 Gb service ?
She even advocated 2 Gb meaning her non understanding of what she does
