The Real Microsoft: Windows Azure
Whenever Microsoft is criticized for being cumbersome and not innovative, it always seems to come out on top regardless. Some people think it's because Microsoft tends to have great vision, but never tell the world about it until they're already there. Others say Microsoft is just an evil company that uses its monopoly to do whatever it wants.
I think the reality is that Microsoft knows what it's doing, and they do it well, even if they need some serious competition to make them do something. When Microsoft gained dominance with Windows, and everybody started using Microsoft products on their new PCs, it seemed like there was nothing left for them to do. That's when they stopped really doing anything. Then came along Netscape, and things really changed, as they worked hard on IE and overtook Netscape shortly after.
Time and time again, Microsoft faces its challenges head on and is able to succeed even if they have what others seem to think is a bad start.
This time shouldn't be any different. People are saying that Microsoft failed to embrace the cloud, that they are too focused on their Windows and Office products. This is completely invalid, as Microsoft has expanded their product offerings to include most aspects of technology in people's life: Client operating systems, mobile, server, Xbox 360, ZuneHD, Office, Bing, Exchange, and very soon Windows Azure.
Azure is the first of its kind, a large scale product that truly provides developers with access to software development on the cloud, a product that allows a whole cloud computing experience, and more. This is Microsoft's answer to Google and other companies' cloud offerings, and there's no reason for it not to succeed.
Soon, we will witness the fruits of Microsoft's labour yet again.

You Gotta See This
Everyday, millions of people walk around suffering from bad vision. It's very common nowadays to see people with glasses or contacts or other products that supposedly help their vision.
Why do these people have to continue suffering from bad vision, or using such products? They are clearly not conveniences.
Abbott Medical Optics Inc. who is a global leader in providing eye improvement solutions, is now hosting a new contest. They want to know how better vision has or could improve people's lives.
This is the "You Gotta See This" iLASIK Video Contest in which entrants must submit a VIDEO in one of the following categories:
1. "My contacts are getting in the way of my good time"
2. "My favorite sport or activity would be so much cooler with better vision"
3. "You should see life after the iLASIK Procedure"
If you participate, you could have the chance to WIN any of the following prizes:
- One Grand Prize winner will win $5,000 — selected from all submitted videos
- Three First Prize winners will be selected — one per video category
- Three Second Prize winners will be selected — one per video category
Bing's relatively quiet improvements
After the huge launch of Windows 7 that included "Windows 7 Parties", it was to be expected that everything else Microsoft releases would be drowned out. That may be why Microsoft has chosen to not have a big launch of some new products, initiatives or changes they made to existing products.
Here's just some what what they did:
- Xbox 360 got Twitter, Facebook, and Last.fm integration
- Exchange 2010 was released
- Bing UK Goes live (the beta tag is gone)
- MSN Video is merged with Bing Video
- Bing gets Wolfram Alpha info, etc
What we're here to talk about today is Bing's improvements.
Bing Video is not another Youtube service to replace the SoapBox they took out. It's just a search service that should be matched up against Google Video. Obviously, it offers many advantages over Google Video or Yahoo video, and one of those is the preview feature. Some people also like the Bing layout better, and they provide a massive amount of search customization for Videos. They've added feeds from a variety of sources, and now has over 900 Television shows.
Also, Bing partnered up with Wolfram Alpha to provide information or data on certain searches using Wolfram's advanced algorithms. This isn't just some crappy new addition to play catchup, this is a serious addition to Bing. Wolfram Alpha has been praised to offer some very compelling features and search capability. They can't dominate traditional web search, but what they do have is some incredible access to data that nobody else can offer: nutritional information on foods for any query, definitive answers based on equations and computations, etc. This is a huge addition to Bing, and will certainly increase its appeal.
Furthermore, Bing added to its Local and weather searching capabilities and some tweaks to Bing Shopping.
There is serious evidence that Bing usage is picking up, and quite rapidly too. A recent study by Hitwise showed that Bing had over 9.6% of the search market in October. This is compared with 16.1% for Yahoo, and 70.6% for Google. While Google is still ahead by a huge margin, Bing has increased its share significantly since its release and especially since the old Live search. Google and Yahoo seem to have each lost 1% of share, and that is highly significant considering the timeline of Bing's release.
Once the Yahoo deal goes through, Bing will have a serious chance to challenge Google.

The old goes new: Charging for online content
Rumors are a-swirling that Rupert Murdoch may discontinue the practice of allowing search engines such as Google to index his websites' content.
This is one of the most influential media moguls ever, so that's a pretty heavy stance, if it's true. This could change the online news industry big time, seeing as Murdoch owns all sorts of newspapers and websites all over the world, especially big names like the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, etc.
A long time ago, when the web was still new, businesses tended not to provide free content as well. That was because advertising wasn't readily available, and the only source of revenue for content had to be subscription payments, just like regular newspapers. Or at least, advertising wasn't as widespread, and news companies just didn't provide free information online.
As advertising is dropping off in profitability due to the vast amounts of "real estate" for advertising online, all thanks to a boom in the sheer number of websites that duplicate or take content away from news websites, news companies are increasingly wary of the lower profitability.
If we return to those days of subscription services, would you still pay for online content? It seems a lot of people still do pay, as the Wall Street Journal charges for their content, and yet remains profitable.

Introducing Cygea Finance
Hello there! You are probably wondering what we've been up to for these past months, and that's what I'm going to explain today.
It's been a long while since any posts here, but I just wanted to let you all know that we are still posting, but we've also started some new sites elsewhere, including a Cygea Finance.
Not sure if I told you guys yet, but during the summer, Cygea was set up and then Cygea Tech came along shortly afterwards. Cygea is a new site whose purpose is yet unknown at this point, but Cygea tech was relegated to be the main tech news site at Cygea.
Over the past months, we've been working on yet another site, called Cygea Finance, and only a week ago was this site finally gone live.
It probably seems like we've moving along fast, and BlitzTech Blog isn't posting much anymore, but don't worry. We are once again, shifting our focus, but we'll keep you in the loop for future updates. In the meantime, check out our new sites!

Get this Free Report on Sponsored Conversations and making money from it
It seems there's always some hot trend coming up these days in the world of Internet Marketing and making money online but how do you know which one really works?
I think the best way to find out is by realizing that if a technique were truly effective, then corporations, companies, and research firms would come out with reports or start using it by hiring consultants, etc.
I recently came up on an excellent free report on what may be the next great trend to hit the world of online marketing.
Sure, you could come up with your own ideas, but when there's a working model, why not try it? There's usually lots of room for more people to get in on a trend, unless everybody already knows and uses it.
But I want to get something out right now before you read any further.
I don't want to sell you anything
That's why I'm going to come out and tell you right now that this report is on Sponsored Conversations, and that it will tell you why Sponsored Conversations should be used to help you to create your own brand, make money online, and how sponsored conversations have fundamentally changed online marketing, along with how you should be taking advantage of that.
There are many opportunities here for both the company/person who wishes to make their brand better, and for those marketers that want to profit off of this desire. In the end, both parties should benefit.
I found it to have excellent insight into this new world of marketing that's arising.
You ought to check this out and see if it applies to you or if you want to take maximum advantage of it.
Perhaps right now, you're reading this post, and you're wondering, what exactly is a sponsored conversation?
The answer is simple, yet includes a lot of things.
To put it simply, a sponsored conversation is exactly what the name describes, and conversation in any means that is sponsored, paid, or compensated in any way.
What could this include? Well, paid blogging is one thing, and as are conversations on Twitter, or a platform that allows sponsored comments, and other similar things. The idea is to get people to talk about something, and the sponsors will pay people for the discussion.
Sounds a bit like focus groups doesn't it? Well it is like that in a way, and yet also different.
Why not get the free report now and see how you can participate?

Free professional Debt consulting service
Update: Links have been removed due to the ending of the sponsorship.
Most people that are in debt don't realize that a few simple adjustments can stop your debt from increasing, and allow you to pay off your debt much faster.
The truth is, lenders don't care for you paying back your money unless you're likely to go bankrupt. Then, they won't be able to get any money from you. However, if the chance of a bankruptcy is low, they tend to want to keep you in their debt. How do they do this?
It's very simple really. It's not just overspending, it's about how you pay back your debts.
There are specific techniques that you can use to get out of debt quickly and efficiently. However, sometimes it takes some professional help to get to where you want to be.
The good news is, you can get this kind of consultation and help for free. All you have to do is click here and submit a form that will take you no longer than a minute to fill out. Then you can get information on the kinds of solutions available for you, and how you can use them to get out of debt.
It's an easy process that takes very little of your time, yet you can get out of debt just by following one of the solutions they give you. So go on, check it outand you'll look back some time down the road and see that you got out of debt just like *THAT*.
Do you think you have a few minutes to spare to get yourself out of debt? Maybe you think that it doesn't really matter, that even if you are in debt, it's not a big deal. Well it can be a big deal. once you're in debt and are not completely sure of all the techniques available for getting out of it, you can easily sink deeper in debt. That's not what we want. We want to be completely debt-free and we want to be free from lenders harassing us if we get in too deep.
It's time to get some free consulting, and get up to 60% of your debt cut off. With the free consulting that's being offered, you could easily get out of debt within a year. And if it's early, you could get out of debt within the next few months!
Why not start now and learn what you can about getting out of debt? It's never too early to start making sure that you're safe from bankruptcy and excessive debt loads.
Good luck on living a debt-free environment (or really, you won't need it if you get this free consulting).
