After a short period of maintenance, here is the new Homepage rising from ruin !

I tried to put some more content on it, as you can notice, I added an accessible slideshow with an article of each category

Also, I added a list of recent hints and tips as you can see in here

The last modification, concerning the Homepage, is the “Stay connected box” in which you can stay connected to Youtips from social networking  sites and RSS feeds ..

By the way, you may visit these pages:

Facebook Group

Facebook Page

Youtips on Twitter

RSS Feeds

That’s all concerning the Homepage ..

The other improvements done during this short period of time, are the “Top Sites Directory” and the “Sites Network Page”

From now on, webmasters can add their sites to our directory if related to one of these subjects, so they can enhance our knowledge base.

The agreement in detail

As I announced, Yahoo! and Microsoft have decided to formalize their alliance. It is a ten-year agreement, which deals exclusively with research on the Internet. It states that Microsoft will be in charge of Yahoo! Search, and therefore invite Bing to be present in Yahoo portal. The latter, meanwhile, will be responsible for managing the advertisers of both companies.

Let’s see now the impact of this alliance.

Microsoft will thereafter deal full of research on the Internet for both firms and may also use all the technology of Yahoo! Search. The unique search algorithm used for all Yahoo! sites will be that of Bing. However, engineers from Yahoo! continue to work on improving results, but all changes will be sent to Microsoft that integrate with its own engine. The agreement is therefore that the two companies do not waste their time and money on two engines, so they have a major common target.
Yahoo also provides that this agreement will be beneficial “to society, but also for users and the industry.” A redesign of services will enable Yahoo! reduce its workforce and thus to save $ 700 million per year, while increasing its turnover through the alleged gained market share that this alliance should provoke. Indeed, Microsoft has an obligation to pay for 5 years 88% of revenues earned through doing research on the Yahoo! portal or its affiliate sites.

This agreement should, theoretically, make a great good to the finances of the company in California.

For its part, Yahoo! will focus on the development of advertising marketing, vital search engines. The company will focus mainly on management of advertisers, and this will be done via the platform Microsoft Ad Center.

It is therefore not a merger but rather an agreement. In any case the two companies seek to do that. Instead, on a division of labor on a large scale method has the merit of having proved its worth in the industry. In addition, both companies clearly indicate that there will be no violation of your privacy, and you might, for example, to see any data on your Yahoo! Mail be used by Bing. Only information vital to the smooth functioning of Bing and his development will be transmitted to Microsoft. It was important for the two giants to clarify this point because privacy is a sensitive issue and neglect is a mistake that could lead users to turn to other search engine competitors.

Maybe I’ll connect from there, but I’m not sure about that.

Have a nice day!

And according to the last statistics (Reported by The Sun), there are already 12 fanatics who followed the King to the other world.

After that, the confirmation came from Gary Taylor, webmaster of MJJcommunity.com who said “I know there has been an increase, I now believe the figure is 12. I believe there may have been one Briton who has taken their life. It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this.He would want them to live.”

The first time we heard about such crazy news came when Jackson lookalike living in Russia cut his wrists just after MJ’s death was announced.  Pável Talaláyev was found bleeding at his home in Moscow hours after it was announced that Michael had died. But, luckily, an ambulance crew found him just in time and saved his life.

And of course, not all of these fans were lucky like Pável Talaláyev.

The most insane and shocking aspect of this story has to be the conversation that took place in that ambulance after the paramedics had saved Pável Talaláyev from death.

One of the paramedics stated, “He was in a terrible state and kept on saying: ‘It’s all the same to me. I’m going to kill myself. It’s the worst tragedy of my life and I don’t want to live any more. I don’t know why you saved my life, I want to be with him’.”

Pável is supposedly Russia’s most famous Jacko lookalike and apparently modeled himself after MJ from the age of nine.
