Yahoo, Hosts Business and Human Rights Summit

Yahoo! is hosting a landmark Business and Human Rights Summit at its Sunnyvale campus, bringing together individuals from around the world to raise awareness about freedom of expression and its enduring challenges.

The summit includes experts from the business, academic, journalist, human rights and advocacy communities – each with a unique perspective but united in a common desire to advance this fundamental right.

Michael Samway, vice president and deputy general counsel at Yahoo! noted, ”Yahoo! was founded on the belief that access to information can enrich people’s lives, and we hope this summit and our other initiatives will both stimulate greater awareness about free expression issues and bring others to this important cause.

The summit’s keynote speaker is Ory Okolloh, Kenyan blogger and the executive director of Ushahidi. Ushahidi is a crowdsourcing platform for crisis situations developed in Kenya, which now serves as a platform that allows anyone around the world to gather – and map – news about emergent situations by mobile phone, email and the web. Ushahidi has been used in Kenya, the Congo, Gaza and is currently being deployed during the 2009 Indian Lok Sabha election.

In addition, journalists and social entrepreneurs from Africa, Asia and the Middle East will address their efforts to harness the Internet’s capabilities for a range of endeavors involving the sharing of information. In a panel entitled ”Social Media and Citizen Journalists,” panelists will discuss how they have used the Internet and social media in their regions to support free expression and drive social change. The panelists include Indian blogger Gaurav Mishra and Ethiopian journalist and former prisoner of conscience Abebe Gellaw, both of whom are currently fellows at Georgetown and Stanford universities (respectively) as part of a Yahoo! initiative to facilitate scholarship on freedom of expression in the information age.

They will be joined by Ushahidi’s Okolloh, Bahraini journalist Amira Al Husseini, and panel moderator Rebecca MacKinnon, former CNN Beijing and Tokyo bureau chief.

Mr. MacKinnon added, ”As more people around the world turn to the Internet to advocate for human rights, the challenges they face from governments and other powerful entities are also growing more complex and sophisticated. The stories told by our panelists about online activism in Asia, Africa and the Middle East are inspiring. They also show how decisions made by Internet and telecommunications companies can have a big impact on what is and isn’t possible.”

The summit is an outgrowth of Yahoo!’s recent leadership role in co-founding the Global Network Initiative (GNI), an organization of information and communications technology companies, human rights organizations, academics, investors and technology leaders dedicated to protecting and advancing freedom of expression and privacy in the information and communication technology industry.

The Global Network Initiative (GNI) was formed to help stakeholders in the technology industry uphold the rights of freedom of expression and privacy in the face of pressures from governments to comply with laws and policies that violate these internationally recognized human rights.

Leslie Harris, President and CEO of the Center for Democracy and Technology remarked, ”It takes a proactive, collaborative approach to make significant progress on promoting free expression and Yahoo! has been a thoughtful and committed partner. This summit gives us a great forum to discuss how GNI can help companies around the world to address the complex challenges at the intersection of human rights and technology.”

GNI member companies have committed to protect freedom of expression and privacy, partner with others to ensure collective governance and accountability, and promote GNI objectives throughout the world. GNI participants engage with governments and advocate for change where policies or practices are inconsistent with the protection of free expression and privacy.

At the Summit, a number of GNI participants will participate in a panel – ”The GNI’s Multi-Stakeholder Approach”, including:

  • Chuck Cosson, Senior Policy Counsel, Microsoft
  • Nicole Wong, Deputy General Counsel, Google
  • Leslie Harris, President and CEO, Center for Democracy and Technology; Dunstan Hope, Managing Director, ICT Practice, Advisory Services, Business for Social Responsibility
  • Colin Maclay, Managing Director, Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society
  • Rob Mahoney, Deputy Director, Committee to Protect Journalists
  • Ebele Okobi-Harris, Director, Business and Human Rights Program, Yahoo!

The panel will discuss the goals and principles of the GNI and the ways in which the GNI helps provide clear guidance for technology companies facing threats to freedom of expression around the world.

Yahoo! was founded on the principle that promoting access to information can improve lives and advance human rights around the world.

In addition to the formation of the GNI, Yahoo! has continued its own efforts to support user privacy and free expression by:

  • Establishing the Yahoo! Business and Human Rights Program, which brings together an international, cross-functional core team of professionals – including legal, security, government affairs, public affairs, product and emerging markets, among others – to integrate human rights into our business decisions.
  • Developing and instituting a Human Rights Impact Assessment process that includes engaging with external stakeholders, and designing risk mitigation strategies.
  • Working with noted human rights activist Harry Wu to establish a human rights fund to provide humanitarian and legal support to political dissidents who have been imprisoned for expressing their views online, as well as support for their families.
  • Engaging with governments to secure the release of certain political dissidents through ongoing discussions with high-ranking U.S. and Chinese officials, human rights groups, and the State Department.
  • Establishing international fellowships at Stanford University and Georgetown University to support scholarship about free expression in press-restrictive countries and about the intersection of human rights and communication technology.

Yahoo! Inc. is a leading global Internet brand and one of the most trafficked Internet destinations worldwide. Yahoo! is focused on powering its communities of users, advertisers, publishers, and developers by creating indispensable experiences built on trust. Yahoo! is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

GoDaddy, Sponsors NASCAR Southern 500

Web hosting domain registrar provider, Go Daddy, recently signed for a major NASCAR event, as a Presenting Sponsor of the Southern 500.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of Go Daddy explained, ”This is a tremendous time to be out there – advertising, sponsoring events. Darlington is a great track, celebrating 60 years of racing this season. The fact many traditional sponsors are shying away because of the economy creates a great opportunity for Go Daddy.”

The Southern 500 presented by GoDaddy.com takes place Saturday at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina, as an iconic race returning to a legendary track. The event was slated to run without a presenting sponsor until Go Daddy signed on. A tough economy – full of fiscal belt-tightening – has made sponsorships hard to come by for both tracks and teams this season. NASCAR fans will watch the return of this historic 500-mile race on a track awash in green and black Go Daddy banners.

Go Daddy expanded its NASCAR commitment in 2009 – increasing sponsorships in both the Sprint Cup Series and Nationwide Series. The company also produced several new commercials with Go Daddy spokesman and NASCAR’s most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and fellow driver, Brad Keselowski, and now, the Internet giant takes on title sponsorship at Darlington.

Beyond having Go Daddy’s name on the Southern 500, Parsons hopes to have a driver in the race as well. Brad Keselowski will attempt to qualify in the No. 25 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet in the Sprint Cup Series race.

Go Daddy, the world’s dominant Web hosting domain registrar, has seen tremendous gains in the midst of recent recessionary times. Unlike many U.S. companies, Go Daddy is expanding – hiring 300 employees in the first three months of this year. With 35 million domains under management and 6.6 million customers, Go Daddy is thriving. The key to Go Daddy’s success is providing people and businesses with turn-key solutions to all their Web site needs and backing those products and services with industry-best 24/7 personalized customer care.

Go Daddy is a world leader in domain registration, web hosting and design, SSL Certificates and eCommerce. The company offers more than 50 products aimed at enhancing everyone’s online image quickly and affordably.

Go Daddy is a leading provider of services that enable individuals and businesses to establish, maintain and evolve an online presence. Go Daddy provides a variety of domain name registration plans and Web site design and hosting packages, as well as a broad array of on-demand services. These include products such as SSL Certificates, Domains by Proxy private registration, ecommerce Web site hosting, blog templates and blog software, podcast packages and online photo hosting. The Go Daddy Group, Inc. has more than 35 million domain names under management. Go Daddy registers, renews or transfers a domain name every second. GoDaddy.com is the world’s No. 1 domain name registrar according to Name Intelligence, Inc. During 2008, The Go Daddy Group registered more than one-third of all new domain names created in the top six generic top-level domains, or gTLDs, including .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz and .mobi.

ThePlanet, is Now in Europe!

Dedicated web and IT hosting provider, The Planet, has officially opened its first international data center in London, offering geographic redundancy, enhanced performance and Gigabit connectivity.

The new facility is the company’s eighth data center, and joins its seven domestically located data centers in Houston and Dallas. The Planet’s popular Virtual Racks, the fastest-growing solution in its product portfolio, are the exclusive offering for the new European operation. The Virtual Rack solution – the optimal platform hosting choice for powering customer applications – provides flexible scalability and rapid provisioning as IT requirements grow. Customers with multi-server environments leverage increased performance with a private backend network to ensure all servers are properly linked and communicate securely. Load balancing options ensure web traffic is optimally managed by the available servers. In a limited-time promotion, the company waives all set-up fees for customers in the new data center.

Bryce Edwards, general manager for The Planet’s Complex Infrastructure line of business remarked, ”For multi-server environments, the Virtual Rack has been a highly effective solution for our customers, since it offers flexible scalability. Customers often start with just one or two servers, and appreciate the ease of adding new boxes. They can choose from a portfolio of dedicated firewalls and load balancers, and all European servers come with Gigabit uplinks. In particular, this platform is ideal for multi-tier web applications.”

The London data center features up to 20kW of power per rack, backed by N+1 redundancy on generators, transformers and UPS systems. Customers gain access to a 10GB private fiber interconnect to The Planet’s core network through its Ashburn, Va., data center, as well as local connectivity to Tier-1 providers and the major European peering exchanges.

London-headquartered TelecityGroup, which operates 20 network-independent data centers across seven European countries, provides the facilities for The Planet’s new data center. Procedures in the new facility comply with ISO 9001:2000, which benchmarks quality processes for data center operations and management.

TelecityGroup is highly regarded for both its premium data centers and operational expertise. A member of the Green Grid, it is also taking the lead in driving energy efficiency in Europe as the first data center operator to sign up for the new EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres.

Customers can expect the same high-quality Virtual Rack solutions in the European data center that they experience in The Planet’s domestically located operations:

All the Benefits of a Virtual Rack : Virtual Racks offer an innovative and flexible infrastructure, with unlimited server-to-server transfer and bandwidth pooling, as well as access to advanced firewalls and load balancing.

Globally Redundant Hosting Options: Customers are able to host servers across two continents, which provides higher fault tolerance and improved site performance for end-users.

Lower Latency for End Users: The Planet’s network architecture and routing topology ensure the most reliable and fastest route to end users, wherever they are located. By hosting servers closer to end users, customers can expect better performance with fewer hops from user to site.

Connectivity to The Planet Core Network: The new data center is connected to the London Internet Exchange (LINX), which provides world-class connectivity throughout Europe. A dedicated 10 Gbps private link, connected directly to The Planet’s core North America network, provides fast and reliable connectivity to servers hosted in the company’s domestic data centers.

Same Outstanding SLA: The London data center and network are backed by The Planet’s 100 percent Network and Power Service Level Agreement, which provides customers with assurances of uptime and connectivity for their businesses.

Ultimately, The Planet endeavors to provide:

  • High levels of network capacity and speed to deliver peak performance
  • Instant scalability to handle even the largest spikes in network traffic
  • Parallel, redundant, multi-tiered network routing and switching architecture to assure reliability and stability
  • Multiple layer network security that prevents Delayed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks from harming businesses
  • Knowledgeable experts with a passion for excellence and a commitment to operate the best networks in the business

The Planet is the leading provider of On Demand IT Infrastructure solutions, hosting more than 20,000 small- and medium-size businesses and 16.9 million Web sites worldwide. Customers have the power to choose from the broadest range of hosting solutions in the industry, from dedicated servers, Managed Dedicated Servers, Northstar Managed Hosting and data center colocation, all backed by 24×7x365 support.

Web Hosting Virtualization for Windows 7 at Parallels.

Parallels web hosting virtualization firm, has invited consumers and businesses to sign-up to beta test a solution designed to enable users to easily migrate to Windows 7 and run legacy Windows programs side-by-side with Windows 7 applications.

Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels remarked, ”There is a great deal of anticipation for Windows 7. However, users who upgrade typically find that critical applications are not yet available for the new operating system,. With market-leading products such as Parallels Desktop for Mac, we have extensive experience of enabling users to run multiple operating environments side by side. This offering for Windows 7 is a natural extension to our established product line. By combining proven technology and feedback from our beta testing community, we will offer users a simple yet high performing way to migrate to Windows 7 and still run critical Windows XP applications.”

The product was developed to simplify migration to Microsoft’s next client operating system (OS), rumoured to be released in late 2009. Interest in Windows 7 is already significant, with Microsoft committing to support at least 2.5 million users in the beta tests of the new OS. However, experts predict that many users who upgrade will encounter compatibility issues preventing them from running popular existing applications like Roxio 2009, AOL Instant Messenger and many custom business applications.

Parallels addresses this compatibility challenge with a product that leverages its experience of serving more than 2 million users worldwide with desktop virtualization solutions that offer the greatest stability and performance available. This new solution leverages Parallels’ high performance adaptive hypervisor, as well as award-winning, patent-pending technologies such as Coherence and SmartSelect: innovations that enable users to seamlessly run differing OSs and their applications side-by-side. Customers will benefit from our recognized industry-leading capabilities in 3D graphc support, USB compatibility and unmatched performance. The solution also integrates Parallels’ easy-to-use migration tools, such as Parallels Transporter, allowing users to quickly transfer applications and data from older Windows operating systems such as Windows 2000, XP or Vista to a new Windows 7 machine.

Parallels is a worldwide leader in virtualization and automation software that optimizes computing for consumers, businesses, and service providers across all major hardware, operating systems, and virtualization platforms. Founded in 1999, Parallels is a fast-growing company with 700 employees in North America, Europe, and Asia.

10 Ways to Increase Your Online Income.

Are you one of those who have an online business, but do not earn the amount of money expected? Do not worry, because you’re not alone. Most of us spend months, even years trying to figure out how to make money with Internet and currently investigating.

I’m going to help write a series of tips, but mostly I leave a message which is far more important than any advice you can receive: “The real opportunity to earn money resides in our own talent and ability to act.” Then write some very simple things that most of us can imagine or create, or even accelerate, the income on line.

Another point is no less significant than the difference between people who earn money on the internet and no, this in people who apply what they learn and those that are thinking. I imagine that you are in the first group. Anyway, here are the tips that you want to convey today

1. Advertise your website in different languages. With the Internet around the world as an income opportunity and this is demonstrated. The only limits are the volume of traffic, you still need more, and also communication. Obviously if some people can not read your website certainly does not buy what you got to offer. But there are supplements that can help and can be placed on the web, and then this will lead to a number of languages without having to build a new website for each language.

2. Surprise your guests with a special bonus “when they buy.” There is a strong likelihood that your customers purchase from you again, if you give more than you expected.

3. Remember your customers at parties. Send greeting cards online, will give you the opportunity to increase your sales, but do not forget to use some cunning and include ads on the cards.

4. Do not try to sell a golf ball in a fishing magazine.
Your products and services should be marketed to your target audience. Nobody goes to a hardware store to buy bodices!

5. Increase recurring purchases. Give your customers the opportunity to buy new products when they buy one of your main products or services, or promotions with special advantages. A happy customer always returns.

6. Be creative with bonds, options, delivery or payment options and find out how this can be very helpful in attracting customers to buy your products or services.

7. Gives others the opportunity to sell your product through an affiliate program, are important forces more sales without having to do all the work.

8. Attend either your current and potential customers. When leaving a message or send an email, respond promptly. If you keep in touch with them on a regular basis will remain in your mind and overcome your competition.

9. Study your competition. Find other methods of advertising and marketing by studying the ideas and materials from other companies.

10. Educate, take courses to learn new strategies and increase your sales, the internet is very dynamic. Subscribe to publications and electronic journals. Learning is always a good companion. Learn more about the expectations of your customers; this can only further increase your sales exponentially.

And remember, we repeat one of the real key is the study of competition and keep the customer well served. The timing is always right in front of your eyes and also there is always the possibility of increasing the amount of your income online.
