Internet Marketing, Web Technologies & News – Best Web Ezy

Do you remember the days that you have to type all commands in DOS to get your computer going?  There was no mouse at that time.  Only a keyboard.

Have you ever dreamed of using DOS to search?  Now you have the chance – the (Unofficial) Google Shell provides you the opportunity to search the internet like, when you are using DOS.

Open the page and perform a search by typing “web [search query]” to perform a search.  To learn more functions, type “h” or “help”.

If you are feeling lucky, type “l [search query]” or “lucky [search query]“, which works just as the same as the “I’m feeling lucky” button.

Currently the shell only displays 4 results to ease server load.

Extreme Firefox supporters would actually uninstall Internet Explorer off their computer, and only use Firefox instead for browsing the internet.

The good news is: Firefox 3 is coming very soon! When? Don’t know. If you don’t want to miss this, then you must sign up below:

They are trying to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours.  If you want to be involved in such great event, I encourage you to sign up. You will be notified when Firefox 3 is officially released.

Google has advanced one more step in advertising.  Now you can advertise on TV through Google!

You can view an introduction video on here.  It is very easy to set this up.  Through you usual Adwords campaign management interface, you can create a new TV ad campaign, choose the channels and time that you want your video to show.

If you are not sure which channel to advertise on, you can ask for suggestions by inputting your target audience.  You can then choose the recommended time and channel and add it to your schedule.

You can also choose the program that you want to advertise on.  If you are not sure about any recommended programs, there is a ‘more’ link that shows you what the program is about.

If you need help shooting the video, Google would also give you recommendations as well.

The report shows when the ad was shown, impressions gained and how much you spent.
