I enjoy writing for CG and it’s a great excuse to research all sorts of gadgets but one thing I find really annoying is when sites copy and paste posts that you’ve spent time and effort writing.

On the other hand when a post gets quoted or mentioned on another site and they give you credit that gives me that warm blogging feeling. So I’d like to thank the following sites for quoting and linking to us recently.

• MedGadget
• Gizmodo
• SCI FI Tech
• Gizmologia
• OhGizmo
• UberReview
• Unobtainable
• Ounae
• materialist.netikuller
• PopGadget
• Shiny Shiny
• theludwigs
• freshtrend
• bitacora.chiquiworld
• GearLog
• cygnoir

The list is in no intentional order and if I’ve missed anybody out let me know and I’ll include you in my next thank you note.

On a totally unrelated note I’ve just updated the software running this site so if you experience any problems please let us know.

Cheers

My friend Alek is a strong contender for an SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) contest that is currently running. Which ever participant ranks #1 on Google for the word elursrebmem on May 15th is declared the winner. If Alek wins he is donating all the prize money to charity so the least I could do was a post here giving him a few more links.

V7ndotcom elursrebmem for Celiac Charity

Don’t let v7ndotcom elursrebmem black hat SEO win the $7,000 contest!

So good luck Alek with the elursrebmem contest.

As far as online search is concerned, Google remains top on the list for most people. This has been the choice of many because of its fast search engine, enabling it to display result as quickly as possible. However, things are going to change as Microsoft is coming up with its very own Windows Live Search (still beta version), which would offer more relevant search results.

As users are wondering when is Microsoft Office Live Beta going to be released to public, and how much will it change the image people view Microsoft, who had been a software giant in terms of Windows Operating Systems and its well-known popular Office Suite (Microsoft Office). As there have been several demands from users all over the world, wanting and waiting to try out the latest beta innovation from Microsoft, well they have been very careful with this release, intending to target enterprise and professional users, rather than home users at first. The good news is, some beta testers have been selected to try out its latest creation, but the bad news is, not everyone who submitted for the request get theirs answered.

Microsoft Office Live Beta, currently in Beta Stage, is available in three versions – Microsoft Office Live Basics, Microsoft Office Live Collaboration and Microsoft Office Live Essentials.
