An estimated 30 percent of Internet research relates to people searches. “To Google someone†has become a part of everyday language for most Americans, and with the explosion of social networks and publication platforms (blogs, photo sharing sites, video sharing sites, etc), Internet users have scattered across the Web a mine of personal information. Since this information is searched on a regular basis , there is a need to organize and present it in a structured way.
Edicionsub is back online after losing it’s domain and web site content. Another lesson in backing up.
