Google has long been known as one of the premier companies on the web. From dominance of the search market, their own Operating System (Google Chrome OS), Browser and then they came up with a way to make the internet even faster, really fast. Their SPDY (SPEEDY) technology as it is called, they say allows for 50% faster web page loading. More realistically it comes to around a 20% increase but it does speed things up, a lot.
There is a downside to the whole deal, for the technology is still in beta testing phase. It works only if the web server and browser used, are on the same page. This means that both have to be using the SPDY technology for it to benefit. Using Chrome(which is Google’s own browser) allows faster access to say, Gmail or other services offered by Google.
It may be a long way till it gets into the mainstream net but rest assured, a beta today is a sure release tomorrow (after they patent it of course!)

One of the distinguishing features of the internet is the speed at which it moves. This doesn’t refer to the literal speed of downloads and connections, but rather the speed with which information changes. Things change on the net so fast that in some areas even missing a day can mean you have work to do to catch up.
To survive in this fast-paced environment, you need to move as fast as your competitors. To thrive on the net, you need to move even faster. It is necessary to move faster than the predicted pace of every business owner competing with you if you hope not to be overwhelmed. Acting, rather than reacting, on the net requires an enormous amount of effort. Continue reading ‘Move now for SEO’

What is Federated Search in SharePoint Server 2010?
A Federated Search in SharePoint Server enables you to display search results for additional content that is not crawled by your search server. Using Federated Search, the query can be performed over the local content index, or it can be forwarded to an external content repository where it is processed by that repository’s search engine. The repository’s search engine then returns the results to the search server. The search server formats and renders the results from the external repository within the same search results page as the results from the search server’s own content index.
A federated location defines the federated search connection to the external content repository, and comprises Location types, Query and More Results link templates, Triggers, Display information, Restrictions, and Authentication and credentials information.
Benefits of Federated Search with SharePoint Enterprise Search
If you use Federated Search option to get search results, then:
• You require no additional capacity for the content index, as content is not crawled by SharePoint Enterprise Search
• You can take advantage of a repository’s existing search engine
• You can optimize the content repository’s search engine for the repository’s specific set of content, which might provide better search performance on the content set
• You can access repositories that are secured against crawls, but which can be accessed by search queries
All in all you can use SharePoint Server 2010 federated sources in core results, in a small preview of results, or in an instant answer format. Federated Results incorporate information from other sources, Related Searches, and People Results in the search experience.
Take advantage of SharePoint family of products that include SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Foundation 2010, MOSS 2007, and associated free SharePoint templates or web parts.

If your team has difficulty managing and maintain Excel workbooks developed over the years for your business, then it can benefit from the convenience provided by SharePoint Excel Services. SharePoints Excel Services, first introduced in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, is a service application that enables you to load, calculate, and display Microsoft Excel workbooks on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010.
Excel Services help you to reuse and share Excel workbooks on SharePoint Server 2010 portals and dashboards. For instance, financial analysts, business planners, etc. can create content in Excel sheets and share it with others by using a SharePoint Server 2010 portal and dashboardwithout writing custom code. The data displayed can be controlled by you. You can maintain a single version of your Excel workbook.
Take advantage of SharePoint Excel Services and other useful features of SharePoint 2010 hosting, SharePoint Foundation hosting or SharePoint Server 2010 – with shared or dedicated hosting by a SharePoint 2010 hosting provider.
Excel Services is built on ASP.NET and SharePoint Foundation technologies and includes the following core components:
Excel Web Access: Excel Web Access is a viewer page and an Excel Services Web Part that you can add to any Web Parts page in SharePoint Server 2010. Excel Web Access renders (in other words, creates the HTML for) live Excel workbooks on a Web page, and enables the user to interact with those workbooks and explore them.
Excel Web Services: Excel Web Services is the Excel Services component that provides programmatic access to its Web service. You can develop applications that call Excel Web Services to calculate, set, and extract values from workbooks, and to refresh external data connections. By using Excel Web Services, you can incorporate server-side workbook logic into an application, automate the updating of Excel workbooks, and create application-specific user interfaces around server-side Excel calculation.
User-defined functions (UDFs): Excel Services UDFs enable you to use formulas in a cell to call custom functions that are written in managed code and deployed to SharePoint Server 2010.
ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript): The ECMAScript object model in Excel Services enable developers to customize, automate, and drive the Excel Web Access Web Part control on a page. By using the ECMAScript object model, you can build mashups and other integrated solutions that interact with one or more Excel Web Access Web Part controls on a page or an iframe with script on the page. It also enables you to add more capabilities to your workbooks and code around them.
Representational State Transfer (REST) service: The REST API in Excel Services enables you to access workbook parts or elements directly through a URL. The URL contains a marker path, which is the entry point to an .aspx page, to the workbook file location, and to the path to the requested element inside the workbook.
Excel Calculation Services: The role of Excel Calculation Services is to load workbooks, calculate workbooks, call custom code (UDFs), and refresh external data. It also maintains the session state for interactivity. Excel Calculation Services maintains a session for the duration of interactions with the same workbook by a user or caller.
Excel Services supports many features and scenarios which include the following:
o Business Intelligence Portal and Workbook Analysis: A business intelligence portal displays scorecards and reports, and enables users to explore data by using only a browser. Excel Services participates in the BI Center by providing the ability to calculate and expose Excel-based content on integrated BI dashboards.
o Workbooks Management: The workbook management capability of the Excel services maintain only one copy of a workbook created and changed by a trusted author in a central, secure place. It secures and protects workbook models and back-end data. Excel services also helps create snapshots of a workbook.
o Custom Applications: Excel Services help create custom applicationsfor example, ASP.NET applicationsthat
1. Call Excel Web Services to access, parameterize, and calculate workbooks.
2. Open, refresh external data, set cells or ranges, recalculate, participate in collaborative editing sessions with other applications or people, save, and save as.
3. Use custom workflows to schedule calculation operations or send e-mail notifications.
Above all this, in multiple server configurations, Excel Services load-balances requests across multiple Excel Calculation Services occurrences in a farm configuration. If your installation includes multiple application servers, Excel Services will balance the load in an attempt to help ensure that no single application server is overloaded by requests.

Family members and businessmen shouldn’t be worried that they can’t reach their loved ones and associates in the Middle East and India. It’s not because of some political censorship or terrorist activity, but rather the reason is they’re no longer connected to the internet. They’re having a small problem: they have been disconnected because of two damaged undersea cables in the Mediterranean.
There was disruption to 70% of the nationwide network in Egypt, and India suffered up to 60% disruption.
UK firms such as British Airways have told the BBC that call centres have been affected by the outage.
Industry experts said it could take up to one week to repair the damaged cables and resume full service.
International telephone calls, which have also been affected, are being rerouted to work around the problem.
Repairs are on going as you read this. Hopefully full or partial services will be up within the week.
