Managed Solutions now hosted on WordPress CMS

Early this morning we successfully migrated our content to utilize  the WordPress platform. This change is strategic in that it will both allow us to produce relevant content more quickly but more importantly it will allow our readers and followers to interact and share this content. You know have many more options on where you can receive and view our content and what types of content you will have access to. This platform is very attractive to use because there are numerous developers creating features such as plugins that we can use with our site to provide additional features to our clients and readers. Ironically WordPress started out as a blogging platform but a growing number of businesses and individuals have realized that it actually works quite well as a Content Management System (CMS). This trend has reached an incredible milestone in 2009 as WordPress was recently ranked #1 among open source CMS.

  • leave comments on individual posts.
  • share individual posts on this website through virtually any social media mechanism including Twitter and Facebook.

Adware Firm Pays $3 Million In Settlement

Reuters reported on 11/3/2006 that Internet Advertising firm Zango, Inc. agreed to pay $3 million to the U.S. government to settle allegations that it’s pop-up ad software was secretly installed on millions of unsuspecting users personal computers.

This is a huge blow to the perpetrators of a crime that has up to this point been quite difficult to prosecute. While difficult to estimate there is no doubt that the impact of adware world-wide is in the billions of dollars. This resulting from lost productivity, expenses to remove the programs and system resources. Considering all the fiscal expenses, the biggest victim is the privacy of internet users. Adware often tracks users web habits and funnels users to websites selling products or services that are related to those habits. In some cases, such as the Zango case, popups deploy on the affected users PC’s forcing them to close the windows manually and making it difficult for them to efficiently use their computer.

This is some of the best news in the fight against Adware in recent history. Hopefully the government will continue to prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes and expand their capabilities to tackle some of the tougher issues like SPAM, Viruses and Malware. For now this is a good start.
