Understanding Broadband Options

Broadband, a term which covers many internet connection technologies, is always growing and has been widely taken up across the UK and indeed around the developed world. Despite the economic downturn the rate at which new broadband connections have been made has actually risen 2% in the UK in 2009 compared to the same period last year, with now over 17 million households jacked into the world wide web at high speed. This growth is set to continue thanks to the government`s Digital Britain initiative, aiming to put at least 2Mbps broadband into every home in the UK by 2012.

New Microsoft Search Engine

According to people within the industry Microsoft is expected to launch a new modern search engine in the next week or two, suspected to reside at www.bing.com. This is another interesting attempt by the software giant to try and weed its way back into the ever growing Google domination.

Once live we will have a review of it and see just how worth while this search engine will become. If all goes well it could be another algorithm to get our heads around for search engine optimisation!

Twitter’s not as popular as first thought

There is a lot of hype around at the moment to do with Twitter and how wonderful it is. Everybody seems to be watching it as if it’s the next best thing.

SPAM could light up the city

McAfee have revealed recently the all of these annoying spam emails which keep filling our inboxes contribute to wasting over 33 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity which is massive. With the implementation of some effective spam filtering, and possibly even some spaming laws there would be enough energy saved to run a massive 2.4million average homes for one whole year!
