google baseIn order for Google Base to succeed, it will need the support of both publishers and users. Quite frankly, most are having difficulty seeing the value in Google Base. Google Base, is a new service in beta, from Google that requests that publishers add their information to the “Google Base”. Google Base is hosted by Google. All types of item submissions are accepted online and off-line
information in a variety of formats. Google Base uses tagging similar to that found in many social-bookmarking applications, though Google refers to it as labels. The labels are used by Google to categorize or add attributes to the information, that better describes the content. The more popular specific attributes become, the more often Google will suggest them when others post the same or similar items. Additionally, items that become more popular will show up as suggested item types in the “Choose an Existing Item Type” drop down menu. Read the rest of this entry »

Haven seeking adventure

January 18th, 2006 by : admin

Impressed with its ipressive picture of the large plot of land where the luxury villa sits on the famous Bali Cliff and descriptive text on villa rental websites praising this private villa as super luxury villa, which literally means beyon ordinary Bali luxury villas, a group of wealthy Japanese-American family decided to take it for their holiday.

After a long haul trip from Florida, a modest holiday villas in Seminyak may be a much better accommodation. However, none of them really know how far is it the luxury villa from the Airport. Wrong, it is not that far away, how long it takes to reach the luxury villa from the airport. Full with excitement, kiling away the exhaustion after the flight, the journey started with a city ride along the bypass and then scenic ocean view up Jimbaran hill.

The real adventure started when the small luxury bus turned into a wide bumpy lime-stone track which felt never ending. Just of the paint ball Bali everybody fell asleep with horrible disappointment only a few seconds away from the time they are forced to wake up as they were arrived at the doorstep.

The nightmare seems to be true. Missing the nice manicured garden on the entrance, they found the doorstep was rather small and packed. But it waived away once they get into the backyard just behind the Buddha statue.
