Today early morning, my brother rushed in to my room and told me that our latest site, www.love-meter.net, is being reported as fraud site by Opera. I ran to my computer and found that it was true. I was surprised because the site is not yet complete and still it is being reported as a fraud site. I reloaded the page and it was then I noticed that it was not actually our site, but Google’s cache of my site that my brother was referring to. I checked my site and found that it was not showing any warnings. Next I checked for Google’s cache of www.google.com and found that it too showed the same error. But the warning is not being shown on the datacenter homepage. I checked the page cache in some other datacenters [ 64.233.161.104, 209.85.165.102] and they were not showing any such warning.

BTW, I had received several feedbacks and comments on Local Analytics. I am sorry, I wasn’t able to respond to your comments and fix the errors you have reported. I will try my best to fix those errors by the end of this month or early February.

What is Secret Classroom?

Secret Classroom is an internet marketing course in a set of 12 DVDs featuring all the 12 episodes of reality show, The Next Internet Millionaire, with 2 hour sessions on internet marketing by experts like Jeff Walker, Rich Schefren, Ray Edwards, Mark Joyner etc. These experts teaches a handful of aspiring entrepreneurs, the secrets of successful internet marketing, as if in a classroom. This much awaited course was released on December 5th and became an instant hit among internet marketers, both amateurs and professionals. The Secret Classroom is not a get rich quick gimmick. It is an education that will improve your income and your internet marketing business for the rest of your life.

I would have really loved to have a copy of the secret classroom. Unfortunately, the prize of the set is unaffordable for me right now. But I will surely get a copy when I can afford one. Have any of you bought a copy? If so, can you please tell your opinion on this internet marketing course?

So stop thinking  and enter the Secret Classroom Blog Contest at the earliest. Remember that time and tide waits for none.

Btw, if anyone is interested in Guest Blogging on this blog, while I am away, I will be only happy to allow you do that. Thanks.

Mango Languages is an online language learning system that facilitates you to learn almost a dozen new languages through their interactive website. According to the Mango Languages site,

Mango ^beta is an online language learning system freely available to everyone. Learn at your own pace with a suite of features that make language learning more engaging and fun.

Each language is divided into 100 lessons with each lesson having almost a hundred slides. Mango Languages actively engages audio and visual cues to help you learn the new language. The language lessons includes audio from native speakers of the language and phonetic transcriptions, so that you can learn the language with the correct pronunciation. Mango Languages also include quizzes to test and improve your language learning. The interface is created in Adobe Flash and I felt very much comfortable with it.

Mango Languages currently supports the following language lessons

• Brazilian Portuguese for English Speakers
• English for Polish Speakers
• English for Spanish Speakers
• French for English Speakers
• German for English Speakers
• Greek for English Speakers
• Italian for English Speakers
• Japanese for English Speakers
• Mandarin Chinese for English Speakers
• Pig Latin for English Speakers
• Russian for English Speakers
• Spanish for English Speakers

By early 2008, Mango Language plan to launch an updated version of the site by polishing the existing languages and by adding new languages to the system. Newly planned languages include Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, Polish, Vietnamese, Thai, Cantonese Chinese, Irish Gaelic, Farsi, Hindi, Turkish and Ukrainian.

Mango Languages also allows offline learning using downloaded mp3 files, which can be burned into a CD or played using iPod. But, unlike the web learning, offline learning is not free and costs you $1.50 per lesson or $149.95 for an entire language.

Web 2.0

We hear the word Web 2.0 almost everyday. But do you know what exactly is Web 2.0? If not, see the 5 minute video below by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. The video was released almost an year back, so it is most probable that some of you have already seen it.

Google Conspiracy

I saw this video on a post in Steven’s blog and found it cool. Actually, I stopped using Google Toolbar after reading an article on the same topic, a few months back.

Ubuntu + Beryl

I have installed Ubuntu on my system only once. It was long back and Ubuntu wasn’t as good as it is now. But recently, after watching this video, I have decided to try it again.

Also the Making Sales Making Money contest at ContestBlogger is going to end on Monday. The entry requirement is extremely simple and require you to link to the sponsor homepage using the text home based business opportunities and  to Contest Blogger homepage using the anchor text sweepstakes somewhere on your blog.
