‘A software company is developing revolutionary software which provides the ability to identify people from photographs posted on the internet. Face.com has produced technology that can identify individuals on social networking sites and online galleries by comparing their image against a known picture of them. It means detailed profiles of individuals can be built up purely from online photographs and critics have said it could lead to exploitation by employers.’

‘For the past three years, Marilyn Bess has operated MS Philly Organic, a small, low-traffic blog that features occasional posts about green living, out of her Manayunk home. Between her blog and infrequent contributions to ehow.com, over the last few years she says she’s made about $50. To Bess, her website is a hobby. To the city of Philadelphia, it’s a potential moneymaker, and the city wants its cut.
In May, the city sent Bess a letter demanding that she pay $300, the price of a business privilege license.’

‘Aerial imaging technology is being used by the government to spy on Americans in an effort to collect revenue and enforce ordinances on swimming pools without safety certificates, junk cars being stored without permission, unlicensed porches, and a myriad of other petty transgressions that the state is feeding off in complete violation of the Fourth Amendment to suck citizens dry of whatever income they have left after being looted of trillions of dollars in wealth that the state has transferred to foreign banks.
The fact that technology such as Google Earth and Google Street View, which provides clear and often intrusive images of private property, is being used by authorities to spy on Americans without warrants is an obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.’

‘The Obama administration is seeking authority from Congress that would compel internet service providers (ISPs) to turn over records of an individual’s internet activity for use in secretive FBI probes. In another instance where Americans are urged to trust their political minders, The Washington Post reported last month that “the administration wants to add just four words–’electronic communication transactional records’–to a list of items that the law says the FBI may demand without a judge’s approval.”
Under cover of coughing-up information deemed relevant to espionage or terrorism investigations, proposed changes to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) would greatly expand the volume of private records that can be seized through National Security Letters (NSLs).’

‘The net-neutrality ending deal with Verizon is just the beginning of Google’s plans to kill the open and free Internet as part of their takeover agenda to completely control the world wide web and force independent media websites, radio and TV shows out of existence for good.
Google’s agreement with Verizon to speed certain Internet content to users opens the door to the complete sterilization of the world wide web as a force for political change. Under Google’s takeover plan, the Internet will closely resemble cable TV, independent voices will be silenced and the entire Internet will be bought up by transnational media giants.
People who want to run a simple blog will be priced out of existence, online TV and radio shows will cease to exist as the Internet is swallowed up by the corporate borg.’

‘We are now three to five generations removed from the rural backbone that strengthened America. The world at large has undergone a similar transformation as the promise of easier work has created a migration to big cities. These mega-cities could be seen as an experiment gone awry, as general well-being has declined, with suicide rates increasing across the world. Crowded conditions and economic strife have led to rampant crime, pollution, corporate malfeasance, and a dog-eat-dog type of competition that can be described as a temporary insanity.
The economic crisis we are living through has been the final straw for many people, as promises of a better, easier, and more creative life seem to have been sold to us by carnival-style tricksters who are laughing all the way to (their) bank.
Here are the top reasons for becoming self-sufficient; these are based on fundamental, systemic concerns for why undertaking this life change will not be a fly-by-night fad, but rather a long-lasting means for personal independence.’

List Building Tip 1 – Add More Email Optin Boxes To Your Website
Sounds simple enough, but few people actually do it. If you have a 100 page website, you should have 100 newsletter subscribe boxes on your website.
You can integrate a subscribe box just about anywhere on a website or add a pop up window (still very effective.) You could add one just before an article starts, in the middle of an article or even at the end of the article.
As long as you have good content on your website, you won’t have a problem getting people to subscribe to your newsletter or free report.
List Building Tip 2 – Offer A Useful Hard To Resist Gift
I’ve had a bit of a problem with offering freebies to get people to subscribe to a list, but I also know it does work well if the free offer is something that will help or be useful to the visitor.
Why do I have a problem with it? Well I really want buying subscribers not freebie seekers to be signing up for my newsletter.
The best way to offer a freebie is to create one yourself and not something you have reprint rights to with 500 other people. You want it to be unique, and you want it to be something that compliments your newsletters topic. Using public label rights content is fine because you can make it unique.
Do you know what makes a good bonus? Back issues of your newsletter!
List Building Tip 3 – Use Free Viral Ebooks To Get New Subscribers
Want to get lots of new subscribers for your ezine without spending a penny on advertising?
You can create an ebook as a free product for everyone, or just give the book to other website owners in your niche with reprint rights to the product so they can sell your product while making 100% commission in the process.
I prefer the reprint right route because people are more likely to read and value a book they have paid for. Just make sure your details are all over the ebook and that its in pdf format so it can’t be changed.
The goal really isn’t to make money from the book, it’s to get more exposure and subscribers for your website.
So find a group of publishers in your market, let them know you created a new ebook with sales letter that they can use and plug straight into their website and give them a mailing promotion to use and tell them they can have the book for free and that they can either sell the book or give the book to their customers as a bonus etc.
List Building Tip 4 – Do Audio Interviews With Experts In Your Market
Audio interviews are a great idea to get more subscribers in non internet marketing circles.
I’m not going to get into how to create audio products but interviewing experts over the phone and recording it will get your newsletter splashed all over the Internet.
When you take marketing tactics from the internet marketing arena and apply them into other niche markets where they have never been seen before, you will get noticed.
Most things have been done to death in internet marketing, we are all immune to even the most brilliant marketing tactics as we see them almost everyday, but other niche markets eat these things up.
Do you know how to find experts in any field almost instantly? Just go to the top article directories such as ezinearticles.com, find the category related to the niche your in and take some time to research the writers of the top rated articles.
Some may have their own websites so contact them via their website contact details and tell them you want to interview them because you’ve read an article they’ve written and it was great and you think your subscribers would benefit from their knowledge.
Most will do this without charging you a penny if you are outside the marketing area, they will just get a thrill out of being interviewed.
Once you have these interviews, tell all the publishers you’ve been in contact with from tip 3, that you have this great set of mp3?s just completed and you want to offer them for free to their lists.
Setup a page on your website with the download link to these mp3?s and also put a subscribe form near them for your newsletter and you will be surprised how many people will sign up before and after they listen to your mp3s.
Don’t make it so these people have to sign up for your newsletter before they get the mp3s.
List Building Tip 5 – Archive Your Newsletter Copies On Your Website
Sometimes people are hesitant to give any sort of information away over the Internet, especially their email address even if what you are offering is free.
But if you allow people to read your back issues without having to sign up for your newsletter, this will show them what type of content you write and will make them want to join.
You would think having your newsletter issues archived would cut back on subscribers wanting to subscribe because they can get it without giving their email address away, but this is not true.
What you do is tell them on the website that newsletter subscribers get each issue 1 month before it is published on the website for non subscribers.
If the information is especially time sensitive they will definitely want to subscribe.
