Should we demand Yahoo Answers Immediately Ceases Using Offshore…?
subsidiaries in India (anywhere outside the USA) for arbitration on this site? (Y/A).
For several reasons: account and personal details are made available to a foreign country without laws to protect this information, and a possible eth-i-cal conflict? (NOT “eth-n-ical)?
Would it not also serve to assist with unemployment in the USA?

I am planning on dropping this site, as the advertising, children under 18, and foreign members who have NO SOCIAL CONTEXTUAL connection to the base demographic of this site, thereby ruin a good, fun, helpful, and FORMERLY SAFE (etc) online environment.
I am reminding you of the hostility many Asians feel for Americans.
There is more info available than just your itunes account.
Call it paranoid, if you wish, but you are missing the point, if so deemed.
I think it’s a great idea to demand it, but I doubt Yahoo will do anything.
Even President Obama has said that the off-shore jobs are not coming back, and he won’t do anything about it.
You make a good point about the privacy issue, because here we have had a problem with that, especially people overseas having access to your medical records.

I had finished B.Sc. Electronic media. I know Digital Film making, Photography, Video and Audio Editing, Audio mixing, Compositing etc., I would like to start an advertising company to do ad films, corporate films, documentaries, music videos, Ad/modelling/industrial/nature photography, Edtiting etc., I want to know what are all the things that i should keep in mind before starting. HOW TO GET CONTACTS?. Should i need to work in a ad company before starting my own ad company? Please guide me… Is this a risky business? HOW SHOULD I INVEST MONEY SAFELY. I CANT FACE LOSS… I AM NOT HAVING A STRONG ECONOMICAL BACK GROUND. I am from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Or is it better to work in any media like TV channels/ad film company instead of doing business?
If you don’t have any contacts and don’t know how to make them, you definitely should not start up your own company right away.
Instead, start work at an established company, to gain experience and begin building your network of people you know. It’s all about the network in advertising.

Human Resources is a lovely discipline occupied by thousands of wonderfully insightful intelligent people. Formally, the field is referred to as Industrial/Organizational Psychology (or the name on your degree). The science behind Human Resources aims to make organizations more productive while ensuring productive and healthy lives for its workers. Translation: workers happy, company thrives. They even used to call it PERSONnel!
But then the HR folks wanted a part of the technological revolution and they upgraded themselves in a big way. A marriage formed between HR + IT and it formed a whole new world (HRIS). But somehow the technology tornado swept through and sucked the Human out of Human Resources.
The HR departments are no longer filled with “people people.” Instead, the pressure to keep up with the Technology Jonses has forced traditional HR folks into bits and bytes decoders.
Back in the day … and by back in the day, I mean back in the day when I first graduated college (1996), I was still thinking about the quality of paper upon which I printed my resume. I wore a navy suit with pantyhose and pumps. I carried a leather portfolio and sent a handwritten thank you note.
Today our job hunt begins and ends with the computer; it is our porthole into the market. We log on to let the world know that we’re looking. We have to be our own email marketers and drive our own viral campaigns. We network online, we apply online, we click to send our saved resumes and the upload yet another cover letter. We always email to follow up. We summarize decades of experience with a maximum number of characters and we send it out into the online abyss.
I worked at a recruitment advertising agency for 7 years so you figure I’d be able to navigate some sort of back end armed with the inside scoop. Wrong. Turns out I don’t have the formula any more than anyone else does.
Most large companies have applicant tracking systems (ATS), which are databases designed to hold and process the millions of resumes. When you are applying to a job online or via email, your resume is automatically going into this database. Often you may be applying to a position that isn’t even available; the company just wants to build a “pipeline” of candidates.
When the company is ready to hire someone, the first order of business is to have the HR folks search through this ATS. The hiring manager provides the HR person with cryptic keywords and then they go into the massive database, laden with millions of our career histories and conducts a keyword search. Code given, code entered, resumes served.
If you know the correct code that will yield your resume, hurray for you. The rest of us better figure out the code. The current economy means companies can get the best bang for their buck; employees come cheap. It’s the simple principle of supply and demand.
When I worked for the recruitment advertising agency, my clients often wanted me to advertise hard-to-fill jobs on very obscure Websites. One client was seeking a highly specialized nurse. The position was so distinct – there was only 18 known practitioners in the country. I thought a better approach would be to call the 18 nurses and give them a personal pitch. The client preferred to psychologically guess which Websites they might be visiting. In this instance, technology brainwashed (and trumped) the human.
The online job-hunting marketplace has gotten so overwhelming, they created a search engine to further simplify the process. Or so you think. These one-stop shops (like Indeed and Simply Hired) let you enter a title and a location and voila – jobs at a click. But how many of these jobs are legit?
It’s often the same job on different sites. The job boards have gotten very nepotistic and have created relationships and partnerships all over the place. When a company advertises on one site, they get a dozen others as a bonus. What this means for a job hunter is same job, different www.
Oh the online forms! Some of the big sites like Monster and CareerBuilder let you store your resume and apply to jobs with a click. Many of the large companies mandate you fill out their own profiles on their company’s career page. Fun!
You cruise around the Fortune 500 Online world filling out forms ad nauseam. Hours of virtual paperwork to earn some space on a database. You spend countless clicks inputting your life into online boxes. You indicate your gender, your nationality, if you’re a veteran. Have you ever been convicted of a crime? Have you ever worked here before? Sometimes the experience will lend itself to a little “pre-screen” interaction where they give you a series of questions and you click off some buttons answering what they want to see. You customize a cover letter with their words.
I feel ahead of the game. The older generation is at a disadvantage in this technologically dominated new job-hunting universe. It is not enough to maintain expertise in your profession of choice; you also have to be proficient in navigating the Web 2.0 and Social Media world. Without it, you might not stand a fighting chance.
But for the thousands of those currently unemployed, they should use the technology rather than compete with the technology. Candidates have to be louder than the technology. They have to integrate a little human back into the mix.
If you find yourself enthralled in a slightly older school of job hunting, you may find yourself busting out the suit, pumps and folios and doing the headhunter dance. That scenario usually plays itself out like so:
You find a job online and apply for it, often unknowing that you’re really applying to a headhunter. Said headhunter will call you and ask you a series of questions and then hopefully deem you worthy of an in-person interview. When you come in for your in-person, you use your tiniest handwriting to fill out a 10-page archaic paper application. This is the exact same content you filled in when you sent in the “application” online. You wait to be called and then get escorted into a cubicle conference room. There you make small talk and answer the same questions the headhunter asked you over the phone. This time they write it down. They put it in a file with your name on it. They tell you all about their unparalleled opportunities. They direct you to complete the online application at home. The say they’ll be in touch. Sometimes they are.
… And that’s what happens when you add the human element.
Do you think ATT’s new U-Verse Sports Package is bordering false advertising?
We had this new service installed today. At gametime, my Tigers game, as well as all of the other MLB games except Boston @ Houston are blocked out. That is 9 or 10 games blocked and 1 televised. This may not constitue anything illegal, but when we ordered this, we were told on the phone that we would get these games. The advisor on the phone assured us that when we switched from Time Warner SPECIFICALLY to get baseball games, that we would indeed get these games. I have now been told on the phone that the next three Tigers games are also blocked out. He said that this is because of the contract they have with MLB. When MLB says they can’t televise it, ATT blocks it out. I could understand 1 game once in a while, but all but 1 is absurd. This is a kind of anger that I have never felt before. I am furious. If anyone has any kind of corporate number or email address for me to use to contact someone that can make a difference, I would truly appreciate that. Please feel free to comment.
everyones hands are tied on this…it’s all because of MLB

Sample Internet Marketing Glossary: Main Marketing Terms
There are a number of definitions floating around on the internet that can help define the many aspects of marketing that is used in the virtual world. Here, I will provide you with a sample internet marketing glossary that details some of the main marketing terms that you will need to become familiar with when advertising your products and/or services online.
Organization
The first thing that you will notice when using an online internet marketing glossary is the organization method. This is necessary in order to keep all of the main marketing terms in some sort of order. There are some glossaries that will organize by topic, while others will organize by alphabetical order. You may see the following:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Generally, if you click on a letter that is listed on a glossary page, it will direct you to a page that has definitions that start with that letter. Let’s say that we want to look for something on “Affiliate Marketing” because we just found a wonderful website that allows affiliates to earn 50% commission on selling DVD’s online. What we would need to do is click on the letter “A”. A new page will then appear and it may look something like this:
Ad Click
AdSense
Advertisement
AdWords
Affiliate
Affiliate Commission
Affiliate Networking
Affiliate Program
As you can see, the only things that you can see are the actual marketing terms. However, if you were to place your mouse over the marketing term of “Affiliate” and clicked on it, a new page would open up. On the new page, you may see something much like the following:
Affiliate:
A person is considered to be an affiliate when they are in a position to advertise and promote another person’s products, services, and/or ideas. If a person that was promoted to ends up purchasing these ideas, services, or products, then the person who is acting as the affiliate will actually earn a certain percentage from the sale. This sale is often referred to as the “commission”.
There are many different benefits associated with becoming an affiliate. They are as follows:
1. You do not need to supply the products or services that are being sold, as they are already created.
2. No amount of space is required in order to store what is being sold.
3. As an affiliate you can enjoy working for yourself on your own terms.
An internet marketing glossary is a necessary component for learning essential marketing terms that are popular when it comes to the virtual world. You have seen a sample of an internet marketing glossary, as well as a main marketing term that is quite popular. If you want to get your hands on the latest and greatest term so you can establish yourself as a successful entrepreneur online.

The George White Insurance Agency understands the problems facing consumers in need of auto insurance in Texas. Current rates are very high, and this is even more the case if you need auto insurance in Houston or another dense metropolitan area. Founded in 1983 in Houston, TX, the George White Insurance Agency brings its wide array of experience and knowledge to bear on your individual situation. If you live in Texas, cheap auto insurance is guaranteed to you by virtually every insurance agency you hear advertised on the television or the radio. While low rates are certainly important, George White’s commitment runs much deeper. He will work diligently to provide you a Texas auto insurance quote that takes into account your individual needs, now and in the future. This detailed, comprehensive approach is, quite simply, what separates the George White Insurance Agency from other auto insurance agents.
George White personally has over twenty five years experience in all facets of the Texas property and casualty insurance industry, including three years in underwriting, two in finance, one year in the comptrollers office, and four years in claims evaluation as a licensed examiner. This has given George White a broad understanding of all aspects of the insurance industry and the many complex perspectives that are involved. He will work to provide you with the best Texas auto insurance quote available to him, whatever your situation. George White will be the first to admit, however, that the companies he represents may not necessarily have the best products and rates for your individual needs. Should this be the case, George White will provide you his expert assistance by suggesting alternatives that are most likely to benefit you.
Whether the George White Insurance Agency is able to provide you auto insurance coverage, or simply point you in the right direction, the commitment of this company far exceeds most expectations. George White’s objective is not only to provide you the best auto insurance rates and the most comprehensive coverage today, but also to advise you on how to structure your insurance habits in such a way that your rates do not increase in the future. Again, this is especially important for those seeking Texas auto insurance in Houston or other metropolitan areas, where the high incidents of traffic accidents and population growth have made rates extremely volatile.
Simply a phone call or email to George White Insurance Agency will allow you to interact directly with the agent. George White can provide you with a wealth of information regarding, not only Texas auto insurance, but also your property, commercial and financial insurance needs-should you desire. We realize commercial insurance is many times complicated by insurance jargon that creates confusion for individuals who are otherwise experts in their own fields. We will not allow that to happen at Texas Auto Home Insurance. George White and his helpful staff are eager to discuss your situation in detail and ensure that you receive the best possible coverage at the lowest rates. George White is convinced that Texans deserve service of this magnitude. This distinction will become clear once you contact us.

Online Audio Advertising â How to Boost Your Internet Business With Online Audio Advertising
Online audio advertising is becoming more popular by the day. Internet marketers have realized that using audio can drastically increase conversion rates. You may have noticed that a large majority of sales pages (particularly relating to information products) utilize audio and/or video. This is no coincidence.
Good marketers split test their sales pages and have come to the conclusion that using audio simply makes the prospective buyer feel more at ease and forges a relationship that is not possible with text alone.
Online audio advertising relates not just to the audio on a sales page, but also to any audio used to attract visitors to that sales page. These can include podcasts, interviews and teleconferences as well as a variety of other strategies.
The aim of online audio advertising is to gain recognition, build trust and ultimately convert your listeners into buyers.
Producing audio for online marketing purposes is easy. You do not need an expensive, elaborate set up. Just a simple inexpensive microphone and some free software can do the trick for you.
Of course, if you wish to do fancy effects and editing, then you will need a more advanced set up. However, for the majority of uses, this will suffice. If you already use Camtasia to produce videos, then you can also use it for audio recording and production.
Many marketers realize the benefit that online audio advertising brings to their business, but feel that they do not have a great voice, or are ultimately just too shy to broadcast their own voice.
In this case, it can be ideal to hire a voice over person. Whilst the voice over person should not necessarily claim to be you (although this is possible), they can act as a partner in the business or simply as a professional guide.
This is a good option for those marketers who are not yet comfortable recording their own voice. Keep in mind, however, that by using your own voice you are gaining considerably more credibility amongst your audience.
The quality of your audio recording is extremely important. A low quality audio recording will give the impression that you are unprofessional. This will reflect badly upon your product and on you. You may even lose a large amount of sales solely due to a poor quality audio recording.
If you are unsure of how to record a high quality recording, then this can also be outsourced. There are many great audio production specialists online who are willing to work for a small amount of money. Hiring one of these people can save you time, headaches and increase your conversion rate.
Online audio advertising is going to become more prominent as the years go by. Many sites now play an audio file as soon as the site loads. The benefits of this are debated, so it is wise to give your visitors the option to play the recording as they wish. You will find that most people will be willing to listen to your audio, provided it is interesting and clear.
