I’ve been in web 2.0 business now about a year and I have made some money during that time. With web 2.0 earnings, the money is made in dollars at the moment. Now the World economics is living at the edge as the USA economics is most likely to collapse. This situation has forced FED to lower interest rates from 5,25% to 3% in half year. This has not worked as good as expected and so FED is most likely to lower interest rates even to 2% today.

Meanwhile FED has done desperate attempts, the dollar has fallen about 30% as has the web earnings too. So a person living outside the dollar economics zone, has lost -30% income, while he has done the same amount of work. Now this situation cannot continue.

The real risk is inflation of hyper inflation, which would collapse the dollar economics totally. Perhaps web 2.0 business would not disappear, but the dollar would be replaced with euros.

Well, soon we’ll see, but meanwhile is recommend everyone to cash out web earnings as soon as possible and turn them to Euros or other currency.

I have been wondering about the hyperlinks http://tinyurl.com/something for a while. I have seen it used, but I had no idea why. The web pages behind http://tinyurl.com/ seemed to have nothing in common. Then I realized, that I should visit the root url http://tinyurl.com/ to find out and the answer was there:

Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then you’ve come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires.

So, the tinyurl is a web service, which transforms long hyperlinks into shorter form.

Enter a long URL to make tiny:

At Newsvine, there has started an interesting competition: Newsvine Cinderella Bracket Challenge. The competition is free and you may win a brand new XBOX 360 for all of your first-person-shoot-em-up needs.

The idea (most likely) is to pick up the winning teams. The better teams you pick, the more points you loose, so you can choose up different strategies.  You may pick up few favourites or put your money on several “Cinderella”.  The good thing is, that user can make three entries. I decided to follow both strategies and the third one was a combination.

Lets see how will it go.
