The real History of the Internet
History of the Internet
Ever wondered how the internet came into being? The University’s will spin a totally different story but if you choose to read on the truth will be revealed
This is truly a revelation with an Incredibly Big Message (IBM):
Here’s the TRUE story …
In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.
And she said unto Abraham, her husband: “Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?”
And Abraham did look at her – as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said:
“How, dear?”
And Dot replied: “I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price.
And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah’s Pony Stable (UPS).”
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent.
To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was called
Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures – Hebrew To The People (HTTP)
But this success did arouse envy. A man named Macabre did secrete himself inside Abraham’s drum and began to siphon off some of Abraham’s business. But he was soon discovered, arrested and prosecuted for insider trading.
And the young men did take to Dot Com’s trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to fresh camel dung.
They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS.
And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum maker in the land.
And indeed did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates’ drumheads and drumsticks.
And Dot did say: “Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others.”
And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to be known. He said: “We need a name that reflects what we are.”
And Dot replied: “Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators.” ”YAHOO,” said Abraham. And because it was Dot’s idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.
Abraham’s cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid
(GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot’s drums to locate things around the countryside. It soon became known as God’s Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE)
and that is how it all began
Really…
This is the True History of the Internet
Noticed anything Strange about Your Facebook Page?
This may help you with a recent Facebook problem…
Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your news feed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and every one else seems to have stopped using Facebook?
Don’t worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friends can’t see anything you post and here’s why:
With the latest FB changes, the news feed on your home page has a setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you’ve recently interacted with or interact with the most (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile). So in other words unless your FB friends commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa, you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!
HERE’S THE FIX: Scroll down to the bottom of the news feed on the homepage and click on “Edit Options.” Click on “Show Posts From” and change the setting to “All Of Your Friends and Pages.” Note: This is the fix for personal pages but I am unsure of whether or not the business pages are set up the same way.
Simply posting an update about it won’t do any good because many of your friends already can’t see your posts. You’ll either have to send out a message to everyone on your list (which is a rather tedious method) or post an event explaining the situation like this one and invite your entire friend list. You can also tweet about it hoping that most of your fellow Facebookers are also on twitter.
Shame on Facebook for altering the default setting and not alerting their users about it! Just think about how many companies posted Christmas sales and discounts without having any idea that their customers couldn’t see the updates.
SPECIAL NOTE: Be sure to invite your friends and leave a note on the invitation for them to do the same. Otherwise, they will not see it either. JUST BECAUSE YOUR SETTINGS ARE CORRECT, DOES NOT MEAN YOUR FRIENDS SETTINGS ARE CORRECT AND THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR POSTS. Best to forward this invite to your friends as I said above with a note in the invite for them to do the same with their friends.
iPhone Info: If it’s an app, unfortunately you won’t find it at the bottom. If you’re using an iPhone, you should be able to access to site through your browser, Safari, and proceed with modifying your settings.

A few weeks ago I got an email from Armand Morin inviting me to Beta test some new software he had developed. I first met Armand back in 2004 at the very first World Internet Summit, if fact we did a duet of Beatles songs on stage during the Saturday night party, accompanied by Mike Stewart on guitar, and we have kept in touch ever since.
So how could I resist an offer like this from the great man
The product was MarketerCMS – A piece of software that runs in conjunction with your wordpress Blog which results in you easily producing Google compliant high impact websites
I am proud to say, his latest product and project is off the ground… Myself and I guess a few other Beta Testers are raving over this system so … If you can use WordPress you are going to love this…
Introducing MarketerCMS
A brand new system that…
* Creates Optin Pages
* Creates Sales Letters
* Creates Membership Sites
* Has Built In Video Players
* Has a Built In Sales Letter Generator
* Creates 100% Google compliant websites!!!
I have to say this is the easiest and fastest way to create high impact websites I have come across – Plus the fact it comes complete with the built in Sales Letter Generator so anyone can write world class copy in just a few short minutes.
Over the testing period I taken this system to create websites with high impact sales letters which Armand had virtually written for me. Gee, the guy generates over US$10 million in sales a year and has done consistently for the last 4 or 5 years.
Let’s just say Armand knows a thing or two about writing sales letters
Well, {!firstname} MarketerCMS is now available to the public and is selling very well
I suggest you have a look at this… Watch the introduction video – I am sure this will impress and make life easy for you, but hurry because there is a “Bonus Offer” which is being removed in less than 24 hours.
I think you will Enjoy this software, I know I certainly am… Thank Armand

Social Media Sobriety
In the weeks leading up to Christmas my social calender is full of Christmas celebratory drink and eats gatherings – Now I am not a drinker and I am very conscious of the dangers of driving after a few (Oh officer I haven’t had that many… Hic) drinks.
I am also aware of the dangers of posting to blogs or updating your Facebook profile when a little under the weather…
I may have found a solution…
