It seems companies are trying all kinds of things to boost their marketing efforts and sales. Yahoo is not far behind. We think these days everybody is inspired by the Old Spice Man campaign seen on Twitter and YouTube. Sales for Old Spice have gone up 107% after that campaign of theirs. Online ad spending will see double-digit growth, reaching $61.8 billion worldwide this year and $96.8 billion in 2014.  Yahoo also seeks to join the bandwagon of viral content. yahoo Giggles is something so simple but set to drive a lot of internet traffic to their homepage. Just go to Yahoo.com and click on the exclamation mark next to the Yahoo logo. Remember to tun the volume up on your computer first. If this does not bring a smile to your co-workers faces Yahoo says your working in the wrong organization.  An original post by Sociolatte

everyone who has uploaded video to YouTube or even tried to upload videos to YouTube know there is a 10 minute maximum limit on the length of the video you can upload. This restricted users to creating videos that were a maximum 10 minutes long. YouTube has announced via a official post that, that limit has now been extended. Users can now create videos that last for a maximum of 15 minutes. You can now truly get your own 15 minutes of fame on YouTube. This comes as good news for all non-partners of YouTube. Partners are people who upload original content and therefore do not have the time restriction. Like TV shows and documentaries uploaded by the people who made them and they therefore have all the rights to the content.  What's changed, Siegel said , is that YouTube can now handle longer videos because of an improved Content ID system, the YouTube technology that major movie studios, music labels and 1,000 other content owners use to manage their videos and block unauthorized v...

Just like Microsoft Xl google Spreadsheets also has a lookup function. XL has the vlookup  The V in VLOOKUP stands for vertical. Use VLOOKUP instead of HLOOKUP when your comparison values are located in a column to the left of the data that you want to find. Google Spreadsheets are becoming more and more popular because it is so easy to use and you can open documents from Gmail directly into Google Spreadsheets.  Here is a brief explanation on using this feature given by the Google Docs Blog .  To use the GoogleLookup function, enter the following formula in the desired spreadsheet cell: =GoogleLookup(“entity” ; “attribute”)  where “entity” represents the name of the entity you want to access and “attribute” is the type of information that you want to retrieve. For example, I want to know the atomic number of gold. In this case, gold is the entity while atomic number is the attribute. In the desired cell, I enter =GoogleLookup(“Gold” , “Atomic Number”). Be sure to include quotation mar...

How do districts work? From now on, when you load the game you will see your entire City, which includes all 9 districts. When on this screen, your City Name and Total Population (population of all districts added together) will be shown at the top right corner. Hovering over each district will show that individual district's population.  At this time, there is no way to share population or happiness across all districts . Right now, only two districts are available to be opened, the original and the new Southeast district. All other districts will appear as locked, and the requirements will not be made available until we update the game to unlock them.  If you would like to link roads from one district to another, unfortunately that is not supported yet. You are also only able to look at one district at a time at the closest level, meaning you can only zoom in to one district to edit and collect at one time. When you are at this level you will not be able to see any other district...

FarmVille Crafting Buildings have finally made their way to the game. Farmers level 25 and up have access to three crafting buildings -- a Winery, Spa and Bakery. What's the purpose of these buildings? In addition to giving you something to do with all those bushels you've been getting from you and your friends' Farmers Market, the main motivation is fuel. That's right, make stuff in your Bakery, and you'll ultimately be rewarded with sweet fuel to power your tractor and other farming equipment. Most of my fellow farmers chose the Winery (says a lot, doesn't it?), so I decided to play contrarian and pick the Bakery as my crafting building. After all, who doesn't love a nice baked good, even virtual ones? To start on your way to becoming a master baker, choose the bakery from the Crafting is Here! pop-up window. I previously chose the bakery, so I just had to click the 'Yes Place' button to set the bakery on my farm. A Tip: Make your you clear out som...
