Alexa ranking system in reviews…

Alexa Changes Ranking System
…Alexa has been best known for ranking websites based upon users who have installed the Alexa Toolbar. Because they only used the toolbar to determine a sites’ ranking, they have been highly criticized and many people have discounted the benefit and usefulness of Alexa saying that it is inaccurate. People have been asking Alexa to change the way …

Alexa Updates How They Determine Rankings
…Alexa has received a lot of critiscism for their method of determining website rankings. I know this because this blog has probably been one of its harshest critics. With that said, you’ll notice that I’ve chosen to continue displaying the Alexa widget in the sidebar to help have a positive impact on my rankings. This is because, worthless …

Alexa tweaks its ranking system for more accurate results
…ranking service Alexa has long been one of the most used, and one of the least trusted ways to figure out how popular a web site is. That’s because it’s difficult to determine a site’s actual traffic without access to the owner’s private data. But Alexa’s reliance on a small army of users who installed a browser toolbar had an obvious tendency t…

Alexa Downplays The New Alexa Ranking System
…talk about Alexa much on my blog because I never really placed much value in their ranking system. I thought that it was stupid for Alexa to provide a measurement of a web sites popularity and rank based off the activity of only Internet users who have their Alexa toolbar installed. Secondly, I think it was very stupid for advertisers to use the…

Alexa Changes Rankings, Goes Beyond Dreaded Toolbar
…folks at Alexa have announced that their ever so popular (but, many might argue, often inaccurate) ranking system for web sites has been altered. The official word on the changes is slightly vague: Alexa claims “better rankings,” and “improved methodology,” but doesn’t go into detail. One change, however, is definitely a big one: Alexa is now …

Is The New Alexa More Accurate? Initial Answer: No.
…reported on Alexa’s ratings model changes and suggested that if more accurate it could help Alexa build a new trust with their users. It appears that the new Alexa model isn’t much better than the original model on our first tests. CN dropped from ~25,000 to ~76,000 which is a shocking drop of 51,000 spots. I actually believe this is a huge mi…

Jika dilihat enjin carian Google,Yahoo! mahupun MSN,pencarian yang dilakukan menghasilkan keputusan (SERP) daripada seluruh dunia.Jika kita hendak keputusan daripada negara sendiri,pilihlah Google.Com.My ataupun Malaysia.Yahoo.Com.

Negara jiran kita iaitu Singapura telah pun mengambil inisiatif dengan mewujudkan enjin carian yang difokuskan untuk negara mereka sendiri.RedNano.Sg ini masih diperingkat beta namun masih dapat menghasilkan keputusan yang memuaskan.

Dengan bertemakan ‘find more’,RedNano boleh melakukan carian untuk pelbagai media antaranya news,images,directory,people dan juga map.

In creating a search and directory service, with Singapore as its core and relevance as its hallmark, SPH Search found that the obvious name for the service had to incorporate elements of the republic’s identity and the precision of its search results.

Entri sebelum ini saya telah menyenaraikan beberapa gambaran imej virus terkenal yang pernah menyerang komputer-komputer di serata dunia dan entri kali ini adalah tambahan beberapa imej virus yang dihasilkan oleh seorang pelajar bernama Alex Dragulescu di MIT Media Lab.

This scary looking guy is MyDoom, a virus that debuted in January 2004 and replicated faster than any previous worm. MyDoom opens a backdoor in a user’s system, and spreads itself by mining e-mail addresses found on compromised computers. Dozens of variants still roam the net.

NetSky emerged just weeks after MyDoom and mocked its competitor in its source code. Though NetSky did little more than spread itself, it battled with MyDoom for control of the net’s countless Outlook inboxes for months in 2004.

This odd virus, called Parite, debuted in 2001. It wraps itself around every executable file it can find on a compromised host, and thus runs along with every program executed on the machine. Here Parite is shown with its tentacles wrapped around NetSky.

Dragulescu didn’t confine his efforts to malicious code — phishing e-mails get the graphic treatment too. But messages falsely stating that your bank account has been deactivated for your security don’t look this alluring in your inbox.

SpySheriff pretends to be an anti-spyware program. But its fake warnings are simply an attempt to scare users into paying for a full version of a useless application. Still, you gotta love those stingers.

This $50 program called Ghost Keylogger records every keystroke from your keyboard and every URL you browse. It also takes covert screenshots. Though sold as a way to monitor what happens on your home computer, stalkers and identity thieves would love its functionality.

Trojan Gentil3, like much of the malware used by professional cybercrooks, is constantly tweaked to avoid antivirus software’s signature files.

The Virut virus opens up a stealth connection to an internet chat channel, giving its creator the ability to install other malware on the infected computer. It debuted in 2006.

LOL membawa maksud Laughing At Loud bagi yang tak tahu lagi,terima kasih bat dari Infomalaya kerana menerangkan maksud Internet Slang ini.Jika tidak,hingga ke hari saya tak pasti apa maksudnya.Kebiasaannya,perkataan LOL akan diletakkan di akhir ayat menyuruh orang ketawa sekuat-hati(perasan lawak la tue).Huhu…

NSFW…

Jadi hari ini,mari saya perkenalkan dengan satu istilah internet baru iaitu NSFW akronim daripada Not Safe For Work.Istilah ini dicipta untuk menunjukkan sesuatu perkata biasanya link atau URL tersebut tak selamat untuk dibukan di tempat awam terutamanya di dalam pejabat anda.NSFW disebabkan link tersebut mengandungi unsur-unsur kelucahan yang melampau atau sebagainya.

Contoh penggunaan:

http://www.realitylapse.com (NSFW)
NSFW diletakkan di akhir URL untuk menunjukkan link tersebut NSFW.

Pasti anda banyak melihat link seperti di atas di blog-blog yang pernah dilawati.Dan bagi memudahkan penyamaran lagi,sebuah laman web yang berkonsepkan seperti Tinyurl atau MoUrl telah dicipta.Dengan menggunakan alamat nsfw.in,url anda akan dipendekkan.

Contoh kependekkan:

http://www.realitylapse.com + http://nsfw.in = http://nsfw.in/568e5b

Bagi yang sudah tahu maksud NSFW,pasti anda tak akan terkena tetapi bagi yang tak tahu maksud NSFW alamat terbukalah laman-laman yang mengarut.
