09 Jul 07 Goshme, a search engine of search engines

Although they are still in their Beta version, Goshme can be considered the next search engine of search engines.

What is this about? Simply, it helps you find specific information about a very specific topic in an specific search engine of that topic. So let’s say you need to find something very detailed about movies, or music, or ancient art, you create your account in Goshme and go check in the multiple categories and subcategories it has available for you which search engine is specialized in that subject.

Then you can run your normal search in the engine and get better results than doing it in a general search like Yahoo or Google. Useful, don’t you think? You can find search engines about topics you would never though could be such specialized info :-).

 

05 Jul 07 Flare9, creating a website from scratch

It’s been some time since our last review of interesting applications to help create websites with absolute zero knowledge, from scratch to a nice and good looking personal or professional webpage.

Now, thanks to Sponsored Reviews (this blog profile here :-) , we get the chance to discover a new one that promises to provide even to the most novice user, the possibility to create a professional quality website without having to know any HTML code whatsoever.

We are talking about Flare9, a website builder with an integrated content management system where every page is editable via a simple to use WYSIWYG ( What You See is What You Get ) editor and that will help you provide that very important good image for your business or company on the web ( and we all know how important it is to have a well designed page, don’t you agree? :-), at least I am trying it with this blog , LOL ).

It is actually pretty easy to start the process and make it work, all sum up in a few steps. The sign up of the account will take you only 5 minutes and then you are ready to start building the website. You can select first one of the many themes available for you, and later you can customise according to your preferences. If you do own already a domain you can use it or you can register one via their system, where you have also hosting facilities.

Also, the website packages come with a full set of features that most probably you will be willing to have ( Google Analytics support, management of feeds, integrated blog, control of your meta tags to do some SEO and improve your presence on the net, etc). By getting the whole package here you get the chance to have everything integrated from the beginning. The idea is good, no need to work further to improve the pages you have created, everything comes at once. 

So, if you are one of those willing to start your own professional website, with plenty of features and not willing to get a headache in the process, get a look at this service cause it may be interesting for you

02 Jul 07 Relocation.com, helping you to start a new life

I know by experience that moving to live somewhere else can be nice but complicated, specially when you have to relocate all your stuff to your new city/country, and you find that it is a much more difficult story of what you thought initially. I have done it already 4 times to different countries, and apart from the first time that I thought it would be easy to do everything by myself (LOL) , I have always looked for the help of some moving companies  to make the transition as effortless as possible.

I always start the process by looking for as much info as I can about my new location, for example via Google or asking friends and colleagues, also now, since a short while ago, you have the opportunity to have all this info in one single website that, thanks to sponsored reviews, we are going to have a look a it.

Relocation.com has, to start with, a very good Internet domain name, so there is no mistake on what these guys do :-). They provide a full range of detailed guides designed to help you start your new life without forgetting anything important.

Browsing their sections you can find information on Real Estate, Mortgages, Moving services to both US national and international destinations ( just say where you want to go and they provide you back with the best quotes),  help  to hunt for a new appartment,  and plenty of other services like finding an insurance or look for professionals to help you do some home improvement in your new cosy place ( ranging from decorators till air conditioning installations, you have a directory full of services).

The information is well organised, go to the main page, check on the several sections on the top menu or scroll down the left sidebar to find the different services. Just enter your new location and you will be able to browse their directory of resources: look an  apartment by state, find an architect just entering your zip code or get a quotation from their lenders to find the perfect mortgage for you.

So you know, here you have some resourcefull place to help you do the moving and avoiding you all the stress of looking how to do it!
