This question I ask myself for a few days! A few weeks ago my blog was using Google Blog Search is not found. Therefore, I have the feed address of my blog quickly sent manually to be included in the blog index. A few days later, my contributions were also listed in the search results! Cool, I am pleased! Since then, I look after almost every post in the blog search and see if the item is already listed. For this I click on the Google Blog Search on "Advanced Blog Search" and type in "at this URL" the URL of my blog. So www.zielgruppe-ich.de. The search results will show all items collected in time series (the most recent articles above). Normally, I am surprised and amazed at how quickly my articles appear in the Google Blog search.

Since Monday, but no longer. On Monday I wrote an article on two books, which are strongly with the themes of the Internet, Google and the resulting opportunities and risks. The word Google is more often than in my other articles. Now - to get to the point - this article is still not shown up in the results from Google's Blog Search.

But there's something wrong. I must ask myself the question whether Google reserves treat various articles and pages that Google (or the word "Google" relatively often have), take a close look at before and not so quickly be incorporated into the index.

I should keep quite, this article will probably not be so quick to find. At least on the blog search. Then I put all hope in the new "miracle engine"

T-Mobile apologizes for the power failure is well known by the free sms service: contract and prepaid customers can send this Sunday (0-24 Clock) free SMS to all German networks!

I must say that I'm impressed. The private customer like me, who had no financial loss by the network failure is, this exemplary action! And for me this action is called as follows: Since I've recently launched a new mobile number, I use the "Free Sunday" to my contacts via SMS to inform you about my new number. So far I have, except for a few exceptions, only my contacts via email, Facebook and co. informed, and who knows how often and whether these messages are checked.

My old number I used in conjunction with a prepaid card from maXXim (I have taken the time my number from Vodafone). Since I have no monthly fees yes, I keep them still for a while as a substitute number and cell phone. So I was glad that I still had it, as the T-Mobile network was down. But "stop", I thought as I out on Tuesday from the telecom store ran. The woman in the T-store but said that T-Mobile network is probably down completely! And maXXim but also uses the D-net (maXXim is not somehow related by the subsidiaries of Telekom?). But lo and behold, it worked! Meanwhile, we know that not all connections / numbers were affected by the outage.

And now the great news for all prepaid users (via teltarif.de and chip.de ):

Meanwhile, in the meantime also the most service-providers and discounters in the T-Mobile network closed the action of the operator.

This allows prepaid customers to write the following on Sunday vendor free SMS:

• mobile call, clearly mobile (even here also users of the O2 network!)
• mobilcom-debitel (for all users of a contract in the T-Mobile network)
• Drillisch Alphatel with the brands, as well as Telco and Victorvox maXXim, simply, simply, free Penny Mobile and yes! Mobile

Since prevention is better than cure, of course, should any before and after the first SMS to retrieve the status of the credit and check whether the fact is! Have fun while typing!

Two weeks ago, I compare in a direct product of a current account with banks regarding credit card and described my experience with the comdirect. Regarding my requirements was indeed comdirect my personal favorite. Today I have the direct banking compared to the Business Week (16th edition from 11.04.2009) read, in which it comdirect on platz3 (of 10 tested direct banks) creates. High on the podium is the German Credit Bank (DKB). On DAB has the worst off.

The study has evaluated the 10 banks in terms of the following criteria:

• Conditions: Conditions and fees for trading, loans, payments, etc. in this study have the greatest impact on the overall assessment, namely to 50%. Bait of limited duration (eg actions here are starting with credit or high interest rates again overnight but they are linked to other conditions) to attract new customers are not included. So shall according WiWo to ensure that the winners are not only attractive in the short term or only for new customers, but as long as possible.
• Service: It was made as test calls and emails gesschrieben test. The way to Netbank offers no telephone service. Perhaps the Netbank takes its name literally means ... in the end they do not even Telbank The DAB ascheinend answered only two of ten e-mails within five days! Service is crucial for customers and thus flows this criterion also with 40% in the overall assessment.
• Internet safety: This criterion only flows one to 10% in the overall assessment and therefore has the least influence and so important.

Then revealed the following top five:

That was me just say, when I ran furiously into the T-Mobile store because my new phone is no power more ...

The seller said that the network had broken down nationwide and we'll fix it until about 19 or 20 clock. Incredibly, there was such a thing before? I can at least do not remember it.

Clock 18:54 Edit: Apparently it failed almost nationwide. Here on Lake Constance, the network is still not definitely be back intact

Exactly five days after my blog entry was the card in front of my door! Unpacked and marveled: The map looks great, is quite stable and is printed on glossy paper.

Makes it look really good in my office:

Oh, and this article, I re-created using "wpToGo" ... it seems like I still need to refine the picture settings a bit.

After I today in the latest Business Week (April 20, 2009) Excerpts from the book What would Google do? How to benefit from the success strategies of Internet giants
I read Jeff Jarvis, I imagine a few short and to the fundamental questions about the Internet and privacy:

Already in the title of signatures can be read: Jeff Jarvis sees the openness of the Internet, more opportunities than risks for this attitude is actually in all parts of the book Exodus through. He writes:

The ethics of privacy has for the generation of G (Google) radically changed. People my age or older to stimulate the release of information about all the young people themselves. I always try to explain that it is a social gesture, to let others know about personal things [...]

I think that's a very good explanation. He also writes that he has brought public a personal benefit, which outweighs the risks. The Internet would be any creative artists the chance to find the deserved audience and thus we would eventually find people who like what we do.

I think so too. He takes this position so that I even asked the question, whether I myself on the internet actually performing enough, or me and my skills actually good enough published? Shortly after, however, is to read: Read the rest of this entry »

Wow ... at first glance I think this program top:

It is easy to configure (you have to respect advance in the WP admin panel under "Settings" -> "Write" enable XML-RPC interface), shows one of the main buttons and fields to write and even offers the possibility to tag . call

Thank Android

EDIT: Due to Volker's comment, I need time to test how it looks with the umlauts ä, ö and ü ... so now we know more

As I had previously equipped mobile:

The Internet in your pocket has fascinated me for a long time. In recent years I have had this as the Nokia N95 , which I thought was great, but because of the much used for expensive data rates over wireless only have to go to the Internet. After I though my son - then in the "infant and drool-age" - stupidly play it was, had something new here, because drool is running in the blanks: - / Have I then the Blackberry 8700g gakauft because of the Qwerty keyboard. The Vodafone push e-mail me tariff option was too expensive and have therefore omitted to emails on the phone. Until then I had a Vodafone contract with 200 students included minutes. Since I had this but not recently and exhausted me the 45 € fee was too expensive, I started to look around for other providers. From this point, I wanted to have a iPhone * or something comparable (insofar as it is such a thing already existed), but I wanted to finish any of T-Mobile "gag tariffs" for this purpose. Well, hope dies last, and so I decided to wait for cheaper rates. Until then, I contented myself with a prepaid card. Compare short and quickly determined that the offer from Maxxim with 8 cents per minute and SMS, the absolute best was / is *. With Maxxim I'm also pretty good experience. As always, stop here, too: if you want "cheap", the service must make compromises and take expensive hotlines in purchasing. Only one point was annoying: the simcard from Maxxim is frequently not understood by my Blackberry. So I was down and not accessible again, because it was "simcards error" appears on the display, I had a contact or two, select up to three times the connection was. Whether this was on my phone or the SIM card itself or on Maxxim, I can not say unfortunately. But back to topic:

Why I bought the Google G1 phone from T-mobile:

Selves but have now done. I was never a telecom-trailer. Especially since I had once gezofft with a call center lady something, I've actually made me determined to buy anything more from this club. And then everything changed: Read the rest of this entry »
