In emerging markets it might be hard to find the money to start up a business. Could cloud computing be a game changer in these markets?

The emerging markets are definitely interesting to cloud developers and providers. Cloud computing is popular because of the low running costs and low need of knowledge, but for the emerging markets, there are still obstacles to overcome.

Advantages.

One of the main advantages with cloud computing is the low cost of implementation. You don’t necessarily need a server, but can instead use of one of the many cloud providers out there. Most small and medium businesses will find that the cloud has a solution to suit their needs. Furthermore this also means that you won’t have to pay for an expensive license. As we’ve seen in both webOS’s and dedicated cloud OS’s most of the software bundled with an OS is included in the monthly subscription or even free. Furthermore if developers need more resources cloud servers are easy scalable, due to the fact that many of the providers offer pay-as-you-go solutions.

Another advantage is, that the cloud can be set up anywhere with an internet access. Since it is possible to store everything in the cloud, you can practically access your systems from a bamboo hut in the jungle. Furthermore if you provide your employees with a cheap netbook, you actually don’t need to provide an expensive office. This also means that if you require a person with certain competences, but such a person isn’t available in your region, you can still collaborate on projects over vast distances. As we saw in LotusLive communication and collaboration isn’t a problem since these functions often are integrated in cloud interfaces.

Then what about finding clients? Well, since your business is already using the internet on a daily basis it is even easier for you to bring it online and by this making your services available to customers worldwide.

Basic issues.

To be productive in the cloud requires some sort of a computer device. One obvious example could be a chromebook, but they are still as expensive as an ordinary laptop. Netbooks are much cheaper and it’s easy to install a hybrid OS or use a webOS. Simmtronics have tried to make use of this and are now selling their 199$ netbook in emerging markets. This is of course positive since several organizations have stated that 200$ is the point where computers becomes widely available to the public in poor countries. It can still be done cheaper. Raspberry Pi, a UK-based nonprofit organization, are currently working on a computer of the size of a credit card. The expected price for their device is 25$. The cheapest monitor on Bestbuy.com is sold for 80$, and then you’ll need a keyboard and a mouse which is 20$. This way you’ll have a full set-up for 125$. Their system runs on Ubuntu, but another Linux distribution, TinyCore, could be configured to start up directly in the web browser.

In developing countries and also emerging markets power isn’t always stable. Since power is necessary for a computer to work, then this is definitely an obstacle. The solution to this problem could be solar power since many of the emerging markets are located in sunny locations.

Another problem is connectivity. In quite a few emerging markets the access to broadband connections is very limited. The reason why the advanced economies are so well connected is that they had a huge density of preexisting phone lines which were easy to convert in to broadband connections. But digging cables in to the ground is expensive. Wireless internet access is much more interesting for small and medium businesses in emerging markets. VSAT was one of the first solutions, but with low bandwidth and high pricing it isn’t a viable solution. Instead 3G and Wimax could be the solution for these countries, but of course wireless as well as wired connections requires investments.

Each year the World Economic Forum publishes a report on the global ICT (internet and communication technology) and measures the network readiness of each country. In this statistic education plays an important role. Education must be prioritized in emerging markets for them to evolve in to an advanced market. In relations to cloud computing the question is if they know about this great concept. Is information available to entrepreneurs in emerging markets?

Three ways to evolution.

The development in the countries which are emerging markets moves to a more urbanised society. Therefore cloud computing knowledge centers need to be established in the biggest cities in these countries. By doing this both providers, developers and users can benefit from the concept. IBM is a huge player in the cloud industry and seems to spend a lot of time on developing new markets. They could be a great provider of such a facility.

To reduce costs and improve connectivity, new businesses could start out in a shared office facility. That way the firms could share a wired broadband connection, which is often more stable and faster than a wireless connection. There are obvious advantages for governments supporting such a facility. If you make it easier to start up new companies, then even if only a small percentage of these grow bigger over the years, these companies create jobs, income, export and in the end an increase of the annual GDP.

Of course we can’t just invest in the main cities. If a country’s leading communication providers don’t continuously work to expand the country’s communication infrastructure, the government has to step in. It must not act as a service provider itself though. It would be far better to present the providers with a reward as for example an exemption of taxes on new network areas within a limited period of time.

How Search Engine Queries Work!

When searching for something on the internet, we used to have to type in the www. prefix before the web site address. Now you can just type in the web address, and your query will be formatted properly. This has saved the search engines a considerable amount of bandwidth, and we’ve all enjoyed the speeds at which our query responds. The search engines are constantly improving their methods of use for the users. New search engine algorithms being implemented on a daily basis, has made the webmaster efforts more effective as well.

One question a lot of people ask, “how does the search engines get my information and rank me on the internet?” Let’s talk about how the spiders gather information and how they put all this information into a workable search query function.

The search engines primary function is to find a web site online, and make that web site visible to the users who are searching for information regarding a product or service.

When the user, types in the search bar, some keywords or keyword phrase regarding a particular interest, the search engines will go into their databases for keywords regarding the query.

The information the spiders has gathered from those millions and millions of web site around the world with that specific keyword or phrase then becomes very important. The engines will then come back with a list of web sites that have your query keywords in their web sites. Depending on what terms you searched, you can then expand your search to a more specific result, or you can expand your search by adding a broader term in your search. All of the results here, is from the lists of the related words the engines found in their databases relative to the keyword terms you typed into the search bar.

This procedure is often referred to as web crawling.

The search engines are adding several million of new related words every day. If you have constructed a web site and have done your keyword research correctly, you will be indexed by the search engine, and when an individual searches for your product or services, your opportunity should appear. The goal here, is to have constructed your site correctly so that your site will come up as near to the top of a page one ranking as possible. Out of possibly millions of results for your search, it is really exciting for your site to be on page one of Google, Yahoo or Bing. You will get really excited, if you site is #1, page one on any of these listings.

The robots (spiders) are automated programs that are designed to crawl the millions of web pages on the internet and then feed this valuable information to the search engines for indexing the info into their databases in a variety of categories.

The spiders will start crawling the sites that are the most popular and has a lot of visitors to their sites. If will then work from most popular to the less popular sites, however, a good looking site that has not been optimized correctly, may not get indexed at all.

The spiders will look at the title of your site, your meta tags, and the keywords. If you have not posted the correct information in these area, your indexing results will not be good. Your links will then be spidered, for incoming and outgoing links. Make sure your links are live and relative. A good example would be: If you’re a church site and you permit adult sites to link to your site, this is not good. I think you’re beginning to see the picture here. The content of your site will be spidered for content relative to the keywords you put into the source code of your site. The source code is what the search engines look at, not pictures, flash or scrolling text. Content is King with the search engines. You must write for the search engines as well as for the users who are looking for your business opportunity.

When the search engines find links in your site, they will index those linked sites as well. Links and back links are crucial for you to become popular on the internet. Once the engines has indexed your information, then when a person queries for a product or service the engines will look for the keywords, links, title, meta tags etc. in their databases and display those findings on the results page for your viewing. Hopefully you will be on page one. If you don’t appear on page one, most people won’t go past page 2 or page 3, so you would need to work on your important areas such as; keywords, links etc. and try to improve on your content. When you make changes to your site, then hand submit your site to the search engines for indexing.

Different search engines uses different algorithms to determine the page ranking of your web site. Each engine will use a little bit different guidelines to determine the relevancy of your site. As a result you will be positioned differently in each of the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Even if you use the same keywords in your search query, the results will all rank differently with the different search engines.

A word of caution here, don’t try to put the same keyword over and over again in your content or source code, trying to make the engines pick up on a particular keyword in order to get a higher ranking. This is know as, keyword stuffing, and the engines frowns on this type of deception, and they will catch you very quickly, penalize you, by not giving you a high page rank, or maybe even ban you altogether from the web. It is nearly an act of congress, to gain your positions back once you pull a stunt like that, and the search engines bans your site. Understand the process, follow the process, and you will be rewarded extremely well for your diligent work.

“Let’s Build Your Business Together!

Riding is a great way to develop strong leg and core muscles without having to do the typical gym routine on a daily basis. Most people do not own a horse of their own, and if they do they may have to drive out to the country to be able to ride it.

This can be difficult, especially since most programs say you should be active for at least an hour every day of the week. Horseback riding is unique in the sense that it combines three target workout sessions; namely cardiovascular, core strength training, and leg strength training.

This fact combined with the sometimes inconvenient nature of the activity, means that people need a way to do it only a few times a week. Many suggest going horseback riding for 30 minutes to an hour, 3 days a week.

This is an adequate amount of time to dedicate to strengthening muscles and spending time with your steed without being an inconvenience on your day-to-day activities. Since you will be taking off four days of the week, you should supplement with other forms of fitness.

Making sure that you stay in shape and get in exercise when you are not on your horse will make riding a more enjoyable and beneficial experience for both you and the animal you are riding. The better you are able to hold yourself up on the steed because of strong leg and core muscles, the easier it will be for the steed to keep going.

In addition, the more you use your own muscles to hold yourself up, the more calories you will burn and the stronger you will get. Weak riders are sloppy on the saddle making it difficult and painful for both themselves and the steed.

Poor posture, muscle imbalances, and general lack of fitness can make riding less enjoyable, and may lead to less time in the saddle. Not being able to use certain muscles properly will also make cuing and controlling your horse more difficult.

You can also affect your steed’s way of going and the soundness of his back by being unfit and unbalanced. If you only get out to ride occasionally or do major barn cleaning on weekends, staying fit can help you avoid the weekend warrior syndrome-aches and pains from using muscles not accustomed to the job you suddenly ask them to do.

Remember to start slow when beginning any exercise, including riding. If you have any health concerns or injuries in the past, you should consult your doctor before starting any type of new physical activity.

When you are not on your horse, you can get in a good cardio vascular routine on the trail, treadmill, or the streets. You just need to be doing activities that increase your pulse and strengthen your heart muscle.

Jumping rope is another great way to get a cardio workout even if you cannot get to the gym. The constant jumping may also remind you of the bouncing that happens in the saddle.

Stretching is an integral part of physical fitness that should never be skipped. This is a good way to warm up the muscles and prevent any strains or cramping.

For people with lower back pain, or any other type of muscular strain, stretching can help loosen you up and make you more flexible. Lower back pain affects quite a few individuals and a supple back is essential for cuing your horse and staying with the motion.

Exercise balls can also help you develop a stronger sense of balance; which is necessary for horseback riding. These are relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at any fitness store or even some physical therapy offices.

Other great activities that you can participate in to help you with strength training, flexibility, and balance include Pilates, yoga, tai chi, and martial arts. Pilates is a great way to stretch out and strengthen your muscles for different movement that you may or may not be familiar with.

Yoga can be as strenuous or gentle as your body will allow it to be. Tai Chi benefits the body in terms of strength, but also trains the mind to focus with moving meditation.
