French cleaning our Garbage for money

This is about an article in today’s rediff here>

Garbage too can make you rich, which is actually Forbes syndicated content, orginal here > Dirty Money by S. Dinakar and Michael Freedman.

A very interesting article which goes to say that European companies like Veolia Environmental & others are looking for larger markets, as their homebase is saturated.

Veolia Environmental is into water, energy & waste management, employs around 30,000 people & is listed on NYSE. In China, Veolia handles 20,000 tons of garbage per day, it’s revenue from Asia hit $1.7 billion in 2005.

Well, it’s good to have our cities cleaned up by outsiders, is it? Losing foreign exchange in the process [ & more of self-respect…or pride??…or none?].
It’s like employing someone to clean your own shit. Cleanliness begins from self, our own personal habits. We spit on roads, small things like just throw candy wrappers around, etc..you know..it..you do it..i know.
Well, if we cannot clean up our act, then it shall come to this: a multinational comes to clean your locality. Wake up now, if not you, then, at least teach your children good manners from an early age.

MSN testing Adsense Competitor - Microsoft adCenter

Microsoft adCenter , which is  MSN’s  Adsense  competitor, has sent out invites yesterday to test out it’s program, reports Jen.

Well, Microsoft has a history of getting in late & then trying to corner the market, so this one will also be critically judged by everyone from the SEM industry. This is the 3rd big, serious competitor to adsense after

Yahoo’s Publisher Network.Adsense is much much ahead of these two, as they have not only have gone outside US, but are also successfully delivering checks on time to publishers from countries all over the world. This micro-payment handling system will be very vey tough for M & Y! to beat.

Lets hope that Y! & M move faster towards going international with their programs, We are waiting !!

Will Danny Sullivan join Google??

Danny Sullivan is leaving Search Engine Watch, explaination can be found on his blog.
Danny has been writing about Search Engines much before Google was born, since 1996 in fact. Well, if Google can have Vint Cerf as Chief Internet Evangelist @ Google, then I guess Google can make use of Danny’s experience in everything related to Search Engines.

I wish that he now plays a bigger & larger role for the betterment of ‘Search Industry’.
Have Fun Danny !!
