How many times have you been told to always use a different username and password for every website you register with? - in case it is compromised by fiendish web users.
This would be almost impossible for someone such as myself since I need to be registered with a huge number of websites, there no way I could remember them all unless I used my special powers (I'm not allowed to do that of course).

Well it looks as if I have made the right decision for myself and my clients in choosing to specialise in the Joomla content management system. What makes me so confident that I'm correct in this matter? could it be that the United Nations has also come to the same conclusion? Yes is the answer.
Through my research in providing multi lingual functionality for one of my clients websites I came across the 'Joomfish' opensource component that does exactly that. On their website in the 'showcase' section is an article on "United Nations Regional Information Centre for Western Europe (UNRIC)". It basically says the website has over 7000 documents in 13 different languages! - it's all built in Joomla! and uses Joomfish for multiple languages.
Go Joomla and long live opensource! ;)

I've just installed an excellent Wordpress plugin called "I Love Social Bookmarking", you can see it at the bottom of all my posts. Basically it allows people to add my post to things such as Facebook thereby sharing the knowledge and inadvertently promoting my little business 
.
So a big thank you to it's creator for a job well done. Remember you to can be the lucky owner of this plugin by getting it from here: www.milienzo.com/wordpress-plugins/i-love-social-bookmarking/

Facebook has recently launched some new advertising methods that could well change the face of webvertising forever.
Check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/press/releases.php?p=9166
The most radical one is called 'Beacon". Basically it allows web developers to enable actions taken by a user on a website to be added to the users profile within Facebook. For example Jonny buys a wetsuit from a website which then posts that event to Jonny's profile. Jonny's friends see that he's bought a wetsuit and ask if it's any good. Jonny says yes and off they go to buy their own.

I've just signed up with "Linkya" after having read about it in the newspaper. It seems to me to be a "Facebook" for business networking. Mostly for the self employed to network with each other to get more work.
I almost sent out a group email to all my business contacts but noticed in the email preview that it had a link saying 'I don't want to recieve email from LinkYa in the future'. To me that means they'd keep all the email addresses then send unsolicited spam to them until they went through the 'unsubscribe' process. That wouldn't be good for my business!
