Facebook Mobile Ads Assessment Make For Troublesome New Details

NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook says the number of people logging in is continuing to grow more quickly than the number of ads delivered. This is in part because more people are using Facebook on mobile devices, where it shows a very small number of ads, Facebook said Wednesday. The finding implies that Facebook has room to grow in the still-nascent mobile advertising space. Facebook says it saw that trend in the first quarter, and that has continued in the current quarter. Facebook Inc., which is expected to begin trading publicly next week, added three paragraphs on mobile usage to regulatory filings. The changes came after executives met with prospective investors in New York and Boston ahead of its initial public offering of stock. The additions were likely in response to questions from investors. The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company is expected to price its IPO next Thursday and start trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on Friday. It said last week that it expects its shares to price at $28 to $35 each, which could value the company at close to $100 bilion

If you're new to eBay

If you're new to eBay, item pricing and bidding can make what should be an easy task (making a purchase) seem unnecessarily complex. Here is what you need to know about the items you find in eBay searches and how to "bid on" them. Two Kinds of Items: Fixed Price and Auction In general, items on eBay are being sold in two basic ways: * Fixed price items are easy to identify because they have a "Buy It Now" button with a price listed next to it. You can buy this kind of item simply by clicking the "Buy It Now" button. You will pay the price listed next to the button. * Auction items have a "Place Bid" button next to a box for entering bids and show a "current bid" price. Auction items are open to bids for a predetermined amount of time. When time is up, the item is declared "sold" to the highest bidder. * A few items have both kinds of buttons and show two prices at once. Items like this are for sale both ways. If nobody uses the "Buy It Now" button, the item goes to the highest bidder when time is up. How to Bid (What You MUST Know) If an item you're interested in has a "Place Bid" button (meaning that it's an auction item), you'll have to bid on and "win" it in order to buy it. To do so, enter a dollar value into the box (your bid) and click "Place Bid." Before you decide to bid, however, but there are some things you should know: * eBay auctions accept bids only for a specific amount of time. In a traditional non-eBay auction, bidders frantically place competing bids. When bidding slows to nothing, the auctioneer pounds the gavel and the item is sold. On eBay, auctions are open to bids for exactly 1, 3, 5, 7, or 10 days. When time is up, the high bidder wins, even if people are still frantically bidding. * You must place a bid that is higher than the current bid. Below the bidding box, you'll see the text "Enter (some amount) or more." This amount is the current minimum bid; you must enter at least this amount if you want to bid. * You may pay less than your bid if you win. When you win an auction you always actually pay only a small amount more than the next highest bid-even if your bid was thousands of dollars more. * If your bid wins, you must buy. Your bid on an auction is a legally binding contract. If when time runs out your bid is the highest, you have purchased the item and must pay the seller for it. * Use 1-Click Bid to place small bids. In the last 15 minutes of an auction you've bid on in the past, you can instantly bid one increment higher than the current bid by clicking the "1-Click Bid" button. * Other bidders may be using the automatic bidding system. Because many shoppers use eBay's automatic bidding system, eBay auctions may not behave in ways that make sense to you. The good news is that you can use the automatic bidding system, too—as you'll see on the following page. Technically, this is all you need to know to bid on eBay auction items. Learning about eBay's automatic bidding system, however, can reduce your frustration and improve your bidding success. Read on to learn how to use it.

Mobile Social Networking

Mobile Social Networking Sites All of the sites listed below share a certain set of features, which are common to all mobile social networking sites. They allow the user to create a profile, send and receive text messages via phone or computer, and visit an on-line version of the mobile site. Beyond that, there seems to be six rough models that the sites adhere to. The vast majority of them offer services that overlap heavily with other sites. Almost all of them claim to be unique, which isn’t a lie exactly… more of a bending of the truth. Most of these sites do have some unique feature or special function that other sites don’t share, but the main function of the site is the exact same as other services. A – The Group Texter This site focuses on the ability to send short, text-based messages to a large number of people at once. Whether it’s by SMS or micro-blog, this site wants to get your words to the right people as quickly and simply as possible. B – The Radar The Radar knows where you are and knows where your friends are. These sites really take advantage of the growing interest in location-based services by keeping track of the where your contacts are. If you’re sitting alone in a cafe and want to have a chat, this kind of site can tell you if anyone you know is close by. A lot of these sites also allow you to check if there’s anyone near a particular venue or location, and some of them will actively alert you if any of your contacts comes within a certain distance of you! C – The Geotagger These sites are all heavily location-based. They allow users to tag particular locations with images and information. These tags appear on a world map that’s accessible by any user, and some of them will alert you if you pass by somewhere that has been tagged by another user. D – The Dating Service These sites are almost identical versions of their on-line counterparts. Users create a profile and are matched with other profiles on-line. Some of these sites use Radar qualities, so that they ping you if there’s a matching single within a certain distance! These sites are also marked by quite serious security measures, being quite careful to ensure that no personal details (or your exact location) are released without your consent. E – The Social Networker This type of site tries to model on-line social networking sites as closely as possible. In many cases they are simply mobile portals of an already successful site like Facebook or Bebo. They offer an extremely wide series of functions, including multi-media posts, chatrooms, photo sharing, instant messaging and customisable web-pages. Many of them also offer inexpensive international phone calls and SMS for the price wary. F – The Media Share These sites are the video and audio version of the Group Texter. They are only concerned with sharing files as quickly and efficiently as possible with your friends and groups. Most of them store your phone content on-line so that your mobile doesn’t get clogged with large video files. Quite a few also accept streaming content from your phone and broadcast it automatically… very dangerous on those drunken nights out!

Peolpe who think money

Peolpe who think money is their own,or wealth is their rich ness are not investing in new technologies.Hence the production of power,cement,petrolium refinary,and steel are still creating hazordous heat gases and dust,thus polluting environment and lands.Bauxite extraction is another source for limiting water sources in the near by areas.Another funny thing is like dunping chemical treated waste in the Gulf of Camby[Off Gujarat coast] through a pipeline of 10 kilometers,thus killing the fish and spoiling waters. The extent of damages from newclear power plants to the environment needs to be assessed. Well the flying car,or the small flying cab will be a future part of human living so that the middle class also have some thing at par the big for commuting to work,and to get good living conditions.

Getting an Edge with Forex Trading

Getting an Edge with Forex Trading

Few markets can lure a trader in like the Foreign Exchange market can. Currencies trade around the clock, are highly liquid and can be traded on extremely high leverage. A $10,000 account can see you trading a $1 million position on the Australian Dollar, so fortunes can be made and lost in as little as fifteen minutes. No wonder so many traders are attracted to currencies – they offer everything we could ever ask for.
I remember my first FX trade. I had just opened my account that day, and I was eager to place my first trade. I remember sitting down and putting on a small trade in the evening, placing my stop loss order, then going away to eat dinner. I came back half an hour later to find a 50% return on my investment. This was certainly a lot more exciting than trading shares!
However, one of the traps with FX trading is that we can find ourselves getting “too close” to the market. Most FX brokers will offer you free live FX data, ranging from weekly charts down to tick by tick charts, enabling you to see every movement up and down in the market. This gives us an excuse to watch the market more often, as opposed to a share trader, who can “switch off” once the stock exchange closes for the day.

The closer you get to a market, the more trades you are likely to take. If you are watching a one minute bar chart, you will see patterns forming on the one minute bar chart. If you are watching a daily chart, you will see similar patterns forming on the daily chart. This can easily lead to overtrading.
The main difference between the various trading timeframes is the amount of time you have in which to make a decision. On the one minute bar chart, you have to make your decisions instantly. On the daily bar chart, you have a much longer period of time in which to assess the trade, calculate your risk, and prepare your orders.
Trading on any of these timeframes is acceptable, but it all comes back to the “chequebook indicator” David Bowden always refers to. If it isn’t making you money, you need to consider changing.
WD Gann suggests that if you are struggling with your trades, try increasing the amount of time between your decisions. For example, if you are a day trader having trouble on one minute charts, try a fifteen minute chart, or an hourly chart.
