Facebook to Launch Free Email Service?

The news article grabbed my attention when I was surfing on the Internet yesterday. This is still a rumor, we have to wait until Monday to see if it’s true. Many people are saying that Facebook’s email service will be a Gmail killer. I disagree; even Facebook has more than 500 million members. I believe it really depends on how Facebook integrate with its core service and other services. I would prefer using Gmail because I can use Google Doc, Youtube, Translate, Chrome, and more services under Google.

When I arrived to school and tried to turn it on again, it showed the same message again. My laptop is dead! It’s just two-month old. I can’t believe it. I have done everything I can to rescue my laptop, but ...

Blog Marketing

Even though I have a photo blog, I never write anything more than three sentences on my blog. I’ll try my best to write as much as I can. Blogging has become a new popular way for marketing in recent years. It’s cheap yet powerful. There are other advantages comparing to other promotion strategies. It is interactive, communicative, and extensive. The two-way disseminating function makes it a great platform to exchange information. Thus it brings both business side and consumer side closer. Nowadays, more and more corporations are using blogs to share and spread information, gather feedbacks, etc. For example, IBM has created blogs for their engineers to share experiences and get feedbacks from readers. Of course, there are many other disadvantages about blog marketing. But I believe it would be a great tool if using it in a right situ ation with other resources. - - - - - - - - - - - - - IBM developerworks http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ Engadget http://www.engadget.com
