The idea is fairly simple: some users who have GPS enabled phones, or a standalone GPS device map the wireless landscape (ie. the location of Cell towers and Wi-Fi Access Points) wherever they go, so that other users who don’t have GPS will be able to use a positioning system that works independent of GPS.

How to earn money?

When you use Navizon with a GPS device, every Wi-Fi access point and Cell tower that you pass by will be logged and turned into points on your account.

WiFi AP discovered by you: 3 Points
Cell Tower discovered by you: 15 Points
Wifi already mapped: 1 Point
Cell tower already mapped: 2 Points

Once you have 10000 points, you receive a $15 reward on your PayPal account. The Paypal fee in the amount of $0.29 will be deducted.

This is just funny. A friend emailed me this today. This scam method is so old, but some people still use it. When you see a similar ad on newspapers or magazines, you know what to expect.

The very morning following the widely celebrated Woman’s Day – people in Southern Russia could not believe their eyes when they found purple snow piled on city streets.

Scientists confirmed a multi-coloured snowfall – ranging from light purple to brown – had landed in Russia’s Stavropol Region.

Having analysed the samples, climatologists ruled that the snow is perfectly safe. However, eating purple snow is still not recommended as scientists say it is full of dust from Africa.

I have been playing with blogspot lately, and I have read many articles saying that the best place and format for an Adsense ad is to use a 300×250 ad right below the post title on each post.

Say, if you want a 300×250 Adsense ad on your left hand side with your blog text wrapping around it, first you get your Adsense code from your Adsense account, and then convert your Adsense code to html code, i.e. something blogspot can understand. Here is a great online tool at http://www.eblogtemplates.com/blogger-ad-code-converter/.

When you have the code ready, sign in to your blogspot account, click “layout”, click “edit html”, check “expand widget templates”, scroll all the way down, somewhere in the middle, you will find "<data:post.body>", right above that, paste the following:

<div style=’float:left; margin-right:10px;’>

.. add your converted code here…

</div>

Now you have a 300×250 ad right below your blogspot post title with your blog text around it, if you want it to appear on the right hand side, use the following:

<div style=’float:right; margin-left:10px;’>

.. add your converted code here…

</div>

The basic idea is that you add a ranking module to your website or blog, and let your visitors vote on a certain category or topic. That vote could be about favourite videos, artists, online games, photos, music, and etc. Your visitors will be given the option to buy more votes to vote for their favourites. So when they buy votes, you, the blog owner will make money.

Any setup cost? How to get paid? Signup is free. Minimum payout is $50. Payment could be made by bank transfer or PayPal.

Initially, I’m a bit confused how it works. After signing up the system, I remain confused. What is “buy codes”? “codes” = “votes”? Can people really make money out of this? Would you vote for something knowing that others can buy votes?
