After nearly four years of research Google has finally brought their Search Suggestions to the web. Many people thought that 4 years of research on this project kept them at bay too long, but for Google, they believe that taking the time to get all the glitches ironed out before introducing it to the public was necessary. This is probably the philosophy that keeps them on top in the industry. Rather than rush the process and have tons of user complaints and problems to solve, they simply take a proactive approach to get things right the first time.Perhaps you have already noticed Google Suggest.

The Internet has given just about anyone who wants to, the opportunity to operate their own business from the comfort of their own home. Still, although these home-based businesses don’t have the same overhead as traditional businesses, each one still needs to monitor its expenses and eliminate unnecessary ones when possible. Home businesses don’t necessarily have to be web-based businesses. A hair stylist can run her operation out of her home as can a music instructor. When this happens, though, one factor is almost inevitably overlooked as a way to cut expenses and that has to do with postage. A postage meter from Pitney Bowes offers many advantages to home business owners. When a home business owner needs to communicate with clients, sometimes this requires letters or invoices or any number of forms of paper transactions. This requires postage and usually trips back and forth to the post office. Many home business owners claim they don’t mind these trips as it gets them out of the house, but...more
