Amazon is set to open its mp3 ’store’ to the international audience in 2008. Amazon sells DRM-free mp3 music from all four major music labels -> Universal, Sony BMG, EMI & Warner. Typically, Amazon has the largest catalog of DRM-free mp3 music, much more than Apple iTunes shop.
This move brings another level of competition to online mp3 stores and we foresee consumers will have much to gain from the beginning of battle for the online mp3 market.

What does everybody in the entire world wide web has in common when surfing web sites? Well, we use web browsers to do so. Web browsers has become such a important common tool for internet access. So common and use to it until we nearly forget about it.
Today, we introduce the current web browsers available and you can have a choice to try them.
Internet Explorer
Still the current leader in number of market shares of web browsers. One of the main reasons is if you are using Microsoft Windows Operating system, you are by default always using Internet Explorer. Not much add-on is available for Internet Explorer as there are not many freelance developers keen to make Internet Explorer more hip.

Another goal scored for the Open Source Systems!

Here are a few categories type which I apply on my blog in order to start to store my blog post in a proper manner:
This is important so that your readers know where to find the relevant content. So start organizing your thoughts for your blog’s categories
After 1 month since the launch of mobile.islikethat.com, I have been creating many blog posts. I thought I did a good job in carefully placing the post into categories and tags. Well, I was wrong. I have not been creating categories and tags properly related to the way i would like to organize my content.
The idea of categories is a more hierarchy way to store your post. I would be using categories as the main sections of my site. The categories will contain not more than 10. This will allow my blog contents to be more focus on the topics
For tagging, it is the in thing for blog site. So we tag a post with a related word(s) that best describe this particular post. I prefer to use the tag as the sub section of my site. So for each category, I have many tags. And each post can have more then 1 tag.
Oh. As of now, WordPress does not provide by default a page in the admin to manage your tags. So visit here to download the Simple Tags plugin.
Example here on how i organize my categories and tags on mobile.islikethat.com (more…)
