Are you DOS-obsessed?

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.

Page Rank Lost?

You probably have / have not notice that the page rank of this blog has disappeared. Apparently Google spanked the blogs hard on the last page rank update. (I was hoping to have an PR increase due to my effort put into link building.)

RankSpank

IZEA has recommended their new service - they named it IZEA rank / RealRank.  I strong encourage you to sign up as:

1. It is free
2. It seems like it is more reliable than Alexa and Google PR

I can see that there will be more and more people trusting this ranking service instead of the others (Although you may have heard about the change of Alexa ranking).

From their FAQ:

RealRank is the first site ranking service that focuses exclusively on measuring the traffic and influence of individual blogs throughout the blogosphere. The service is designed to help advertisers analyze the relative reach of blogs and make informed online advertising purchasing decisions in the long run. RealRank aims to replace historically unreliable influence indicators such as Google PageRank, Alexa and Comscore by providing more accurate statistical data collected directly from the source.

Directory for Industrial Distributors / Manufacturers - Zycon

Search engines did change our lives - at least our behaviour in surfing the internet. However, because they are so powerful, I do find it overflowing with information sometimes.

Therefore, it is good to have directories that serve a specific industry. Zycon, a directory specifically for the industrial distributors / manufacturers, has made our lives easier. Their slogan is ’stop searching, start finding’ - which does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Zycon connects engineers and technical buyers with the related products and services. Industrial products includes chillers, gas springs, metal stamping, pumps, transformers, cases, seals, speed / gear reducers, valves, check valves, control valves, ball valves.. just go have a look.  You won’t be disappointed.
