Era da tanto che non sentivo di un Googlebombing fatto al livello mondiale ed ora è toccato a Barak Obama, presidente degli Stati Uniti.

Cos’è un Googlebombing?

E’ una consuetudine diffusa in rete, una specie di forma di protesta pacifica di massa, che sfrutta gli algoritimi di Google per entrare in azione e farsi vedere a livello mondiale.   In pratica, succede che tante persone si mettono d’accordo e decidono di inserire link in giro per internet (su propri siti o no) con delle parole precise e una destinazione prestabilita.

Su crea così una massiccia campagna di link building naturale, più o meno come quando viene lanciato un nuovo sito e tutti scrivono di lui e ci mettono un link.  Il sito in questione farà un balzo in avanti in tutte le ricerche sui motori, soprattutto con le parole usate nei link (il cosiddetto anchor text).

Ma i Googlebombing non sono casuali, sono ben studiati per colpire qualcosa o qualcuno.

Abbastanza recenti erano quelli rivolti a Bush (la sua biografia era prima cercando “miserable failure” - miserabile fallimento) e, nel nostro piccolo, a Berlusconi. (primo tempo fà cercando “buffone” su google.it).

Google aveva dichiarato guerra a queste nuove forme di espressione della rete, rimuovendo tutti i risultati “forzati”.  ma si vede che non ci è riuscito del tutto.

Infatti oggi se cercate su google.com “who is failure” vedrete che primo sarà la pagina dedicata al presidente  Barak Obama nel sito della Casa Bianca www.whitehouse.gov

Oggi è l’ultimo giorno della fiera “Sicurezza 2008” che si svolge nel nuovo complesso fieristico di Milano, più precisamente a Rho.

Questo è un settore nuovo per me e sono stato coinvolto in questo evento da un nuovo contratto che ho siglato con la società Amped srl di Trieste. Infatti sono diventato l’agente e rappresentante esclusivo per l’est Europa del loro nuovo software Amped FIVE, che sta per Forensic Image and Video Enhancing, creato per l’elaborazione ed il miglioramento di immagini e video a scopo investigativo e forense.

Un software altamente specializzato, degno di CSI ma più che mai reale.

Il programma è molto promettente e quindi mi son buttato in questa nuova esperienza, legata al mio mondo ma fino ad un certo punto. Speriamo dia i suoi frutti quanto prima!

Intanto non posso lamentarmi, i 4 giorni di fiera sono stati un’esperienza interessante e mi hanno dato modo di conoscere meglio il prodotto e come presentarlo, direttamente dal suo creatore e titolare della società, l’amico Martino Jerian che saluto caldamente assieme alla simpaticissima Daniela!

Bene, ora non resta che tornare a Tirana in Albania, dove ormai risiedo, per iniziare proprio da qui la mia personale “conquista dei balcani”!

Skype, programma di VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol, cioè il protocollo per la telefonia via Internet) ormai è molto diffuso, con 10 milioni e più utenti sempre collegati.

Ma forse non tutti sanno che esistono emoticons (faccine o disegni che si possono inserire in chat) segreti, non selezionabili dal menù del programma.

Ed esistono anche composizioni di emoticons che vengono chiamate “Emoticon Art”, la variante moderna delle vecchie Ascii Art, disegni formati da lettere e caratteri di testo semplice fatto con il blocco note.

In più ho trovato anche un programmino gratuito per creare le tue emoticon art personalizzate in modo semplice, andate su www.raggioblu.com - sezione “prodotti” e scegliete SEA (Skype Emoticon Art). Ecco la finestra del programma:

Invece qua trovate una buona selezione per stupire i vostri amici!
Basta copiare e incollare il testo a fianco per far apparire l’immagine in chat!
