SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. strengthens its safekeeping services for its clients as it purchases Postini Inc., an e-mail security specialist for $625 million. This is to reassure Google's big business customers with reliance on its software applications.
As Google reinforces as a strong alternative over Microsoft's dominating services, it offers users low cost and even free software applications that can be obtained online thus threatening Microsoft Inc.
With Postini, Google hopes to increase its average daily sign-ups of 1,000 from small businesses. Dave Girourard, who is the executive in charge of the Google's thrust into the corporate market, says that security matters have kept them from that sought after increase. The e-mail security specialist protects e-mail and instant messaging on the Web for almost 35,000 customers serving over 10 million users. Postini was created in 1999 and some of its customers at present are Dillard's Inc., Circuit City Stores Inc. and Sempra Energy and Pulte Homes Inc.
The partnership between Google and Postini began in April that eventually led to negotiations, which then resulted to the deal. Girouard finds a potential market in Postini with only a few of its customers included in Google's 100,000 clients. He adds that they look forward in enticing Postini users to try their own applications.

I'm searching for contest sponsors
By: FendyBt2 | 27-07-2008
Currently I'm building my website backlinks by running a contest to get bloggers link their blog to me.
I'm just wondering where can I get some cool prizes for my upcoming contest. Maybe someone would like to sponsor me some cool prizes?
All the sponsors will get a link back from my website in the contest post and in my blogroll link. And all the bloggers that participate in the contest would have to put the sponsors link in their post. That's a lot of free backlinks just for sponsoring one contest. Anyone interested?

How to Detect Hoodia Gordonii Scams
By: Vanessa Arellano Doctor | 09/07/2007 | Weight Loss
hoodia, which is actually grown in the Kalahari Desert, needs about a few months before it should be harvested in order for it to achieve it full effect in controlling people’s appetite. But, due to the increasing number of demand for it, and with very limited supply available, it forces hoodia harvesters to harvest it ahead of time, reducing its effectivity and potency. This now creates a lot of low-quality hoodia which are being sold in the market, and only a few are actually using the real hoodias as part of their diet pill ingredients, making it more difficult for people to determine which ones are actually real and which ones are not.
