Earlier I told you an example where GEO news copied news content from AAJ News. Now I found another example where GEO has copied news contents from India Times’ sports news. See the images below. Click on photos to see large version.

I subscribed for the daily SMS bundle offer from zong by sending “sub” to 700. I received the following replies from zong.

1) “You have ordered package Daily SMS 500 for SMS_Bundle successful.”

2) “You have ordered package Daily SMS 500 For SMS Bundle successfully. The package is activated now. Keep enjoy with ZoNG.”

You see the simple English language mistakes in these replies? “successful” is used instead of “successfully” and in next message “Keep enjoy” is used instead of “Keep enjoying”
Should big companies like Zong, ignore such things?

We all know that people on internet are legitimately earning thousands of dollars per month through Adsense – of course this is nothing new to you and we have discussed many case studies before on this topic.

But today, I am going to reveal those individuals and teams which are exploiting youngsters to earn illegally through Adsense. These teams are formally working in an organized manner, through which they prepare a team of around 1000 members -  where every member cross clicks other’s website and ultimately everyone earns money.

For the purpose, two investigative teams visited such so-called companies separately, and findings were really shocking for me at-least.

Pakistani news channels and news websites are really hot these days due to continuous crisis in country. I mostly read news on BBCUrdu.com. But whenever I want to get almost real-time news online, I mostly see Geo / Aaj TV websites.

Today I found an interesting thing, News about Punjab assembly session on stairs out side Assembly Hall. Yes .. it is itself quite interesting but my topic is little different. I noticed that textual news on Geo and Aaj TV websites was 100% same. Not even a comma or full-stop difference.

See below and read text of both images. First one is from GEO and second one is from AAJ TV. Screenshots taken on Thursday Feb 26, 2009 from GEO and Aaj Tv websites.

Do you see any difference in text? Suggest a title for this in your comments.

From GoogleTalk blog ..

Do you have a blog, online profile, or some other personal web page? Would you like to communicate more with your visitors? Today we’re launching a new Google Talk feature that lets visitors to your web site chat with you. We call it “chatback” because instead of you doing all the talking on your blog, your visitors can talk back to you. Sure, they could leave comments, but those are public and hard to use for a real conversation. With chatback, it’s a real instant message session.

To use chatback, you must have a Google Talk account … but your visitors don’t have to! They don’t even need to have an email address, or to have ever used instant messaging.
