Top pages can be described in various ways by bloggers – I’m talking about Google PageRank. These are the pages on your site people link to most, and pages you can get paid the most for.

Previously we’ve had to install a PageRank toolbar and manually crawl through what we thought would be the top 50 pages on our site – a tedious process and often you can miss pages. Enter Page SEO – possibly the best time-saving plugin available for WordPress when it comes to SEO and monetization.

Page SEO automatically (although it takes some time) goes through all the url’s on your blog (using a sitemap generated by a google sitemap plugin) and lets you know the pagerank as shown above. It’s simple to use, could make you some extra text link ad money and free :)

#1 – African Palace [BlackJack]

African Palace is a great online Casino for Blackjack – it has several kinds and allows group games with your friends against the dealer. Most importantly its an easy to use client and fair system; and you get quite a lot of bonus points (although its a scam really). This is our number one played Casino; African Palace.

#2 – Silver Sands Poker [Poker]

Silver Sands has a regular casino application; but also a focussed Poker application (not a web based one) where you can join various types of tables (mainly Texas Hold Em) and play for money or fun. This is one of the best South African poker sites in our opinion.  Silver Sands.

#3 – Party Poker [Poker]

An international brand, Party Poker is a huge online poker game. They have all the features, the requirements and the support you’d expect from somewhere huge. We don’t play often though due to the amount of foreign players as opposed to Silver Sands. Party Poker.

#4 – Piggs Peak [Blackjack]

Piggs Peak is a local-ish regular casino with several blackjack variations as well – they also allow you to play for fun or money. We’ve frequentled this before finding African Palace. Piggs Peak.

Using Brasso (the brass cleaner) to buff out scratches allegedly might solve this problem for you. Apply a small amount of Brasso to a cloth and rub the disk starting from the center of the disk and moving outwards to the end – do not rub it in a circular motion.

Please bear in mind we don’t advise you do this to game cd’s that work; or that you could just return – but if you are in a pinch this will possibly help you fix the disk.

Just add this string &as_qdr=d to the address bar and hit enter. You’ll get a custom drop-down box that lets you re-order results based on date.

Microsoft’s Mesh went into beta last night, a new platform for synching files and folders between any Windows (R) device. Sign up for the beta here – its limited to 10,000 people.

Mesh lets you set up a virtual desktop online, and connect different computers to it. Put any file into a Mesh folder and it automatically syncs between the online desktop and every connected computer. Select a file or folder and you can easily share its contents—photos, videos, music, documents—with any friend or family member. You can also remotely control a connected computer from the Live Mesh desktop. Right now, this works with any computer, as long as it is running Windows XP or Vista. But the longer-term vision is to truly make this work with any device. Mac and mobile versions are coming later this year. And eventually, anything from Xboxes and DVRs to digital picture frames and printers could be connected through Mesh. Continue at TechCrunch…

. . . Live Mesh, a new services platform technology that will also become part of Windows Live, further extends the Windows / Windows Mobile / Windows Live experience by bringing your devices together to work in concert with one another using the web as a hub, enabling:

Unified Device Management – Users will register their devices through a simple, web-based service. Once a part of a user‟s device mesh, whenever they happen to connect to the internet the devices “report in” to the service – e.g. for status, health, location, and to exchange/synchronize information. Mesh-aware device configuration/personalization will be done through the web, and full remote control of a device (e.g. remote desktop) will be available from anywhere.

Unified Application Management – Installation and management of “mesh-aware” applications on any or all devices, along
with their application settings and data, will be simple and transparent for the user. Individuals will now enjoy the centralized
cross-device purchase/deployment experience formerly available only within the enterprise environment.

Unified Data Management – Folders and files (e.g. documents and media) will be automatically synchronized and made available across any or all devices, as well as through the web. Because every folder can now have an extended web presence, even PC-based documents and media can now have a social mesh element to them.

An interesting side-effect of YouTube’s recent push for higher quality videos is that most videos can be downloaded as MP4 files directly from YouTube. Until now, you could only get FLV files from your browser’s cache or using one of the many websites that let you download YouTube videos. In fact, to download the MP4 files, you need to use the same URL like for FLV files and append “&fmt=18″:

Google doesn’t offer a drag-and-drop method of reordering the tabs on your personalized iGoogle page, but you can manually move the tabs using an XML backup tool provided on the settings page.

Google is now jumping on the bandwagon with an offering that may not be as flexible as the services offered by Amazon, but solid none the less.

Unlike Amazon Web Services’ loosely coupled architecture, which consists of several essentially independent services that can optionally be tied together by developers, Google’s architecture is more unified but less flexible. For example, it is possible with Amazon to use their storage service S3 independently of any other services, while with Google using their BigTable service will require writing and deploying a Python script to their app servers, one that creates a web-accessible interface to BigTable.

You can read the rest of the article over at TechCrunch. It’s going to be interesting to see what comes next as both Google and Amazon try and differenciate their services from the disconcerning user.

UPDATE

TechCrunch have a new article covering the creation of their first app using the Google App Engine.

The first app I open and the last one I close each workday is Gmail. Even though I use the service’s labels and filters to sort my mail, I often found myself scrolling through the 600-plus messages in my Gmail inbox to find the one I need. Then I discovered Gmail’s search operators, and my scrolling days were over.
