The solution to their problem is Mixx Sifter, the best monetizing idea I’ve seen in a while, which will revolutionize the way big players like Digg.com or Twitter, will monetize their communities.

Mixx Sifter is like a separate website where users can join to review, rate and comment paid ads. In exchange, advertisers get all the information, statistics and ratings so that they can improve their ads. Mixx also guarantees that your name is secured and you can rest assured that the advertiser wont hire a bounty hunter to capture and torture you .

The best part of reviewing ads for Mixx is that they also give rewards. Every week you earn 100 karma points, which gives you the chance to win a $25 iTunes certificate or a MacBook every month.

You can see much more information on their blog and join for Mixx Sifter, a small problem is that you must be an active member.

Mozilla announced today the release of a new Firefox 3.5 beta version. Firefox 3.5 beta 4 is now available for download in 70 different languages and has a few improvements/futures added, such as:

1. First of all but most important the support for HTML5, new CSS properties, a few new JavaScript query selectors and some great improvements to the Gecko layout engine, which renders content much faster. Let’s hope it will defeat Google’s browser, Chrome.

2. This new version also comes with a much secure browsing experience with the new Private Browsing Mode, which comes in handy when you don’t want your friends or family to mess up with your saved user and password information. Also they are not able to see what websites you’ve visited or what files you’ve shared or downloaded.

3. TraceMonkey JavaScript engine comes with improved performance. If you don’t know what it does, well TraceMonkey adds native code compilation to Mozilla’s JavaScript engine. You can find more information here.

You can test Firefox 3.5 beta 4 yourself, the only thing you have to do is download it from the release page.

This option comes with most of the torrent clients. For example uTorrent has this option since 2006, when the torrent client was at version 1.15, but most users didn’t know how to use this tweak.

Bellow you have a little list, actually top 3 torrent clients for Windows, which handle the protocol encryption option at its highest potential:

1. On first place we have the torrent client Deluge, which in my opinion gives the best results (tested). It supports PE as of version 0.5.1 and it has improved a lot since then. For best performance select Encryption > Inbound: Forced, Outbound: Forced, Level: Either and Encrypt entire stream. You can find this options in Preferences under Network. Also a good tweak is to change the port for your daemon.

2. On second place is maybe the most used torrent client, uTorrent. As I said, uTorrent has protocol encryption since version 1.15 (build 436). You can use PE by going into Preferences at BitTorrent and select “Forced” for Outgoing. Also make sure you select another port in the Connection tab.

3. On third place is another well known torrent client, called Azureus, nowadays known as Vuze. Besides PE, Vuze comes with more options than any other torrent client. It’s actually like a social network for HD video sharing. To select PE you must go to Tools > Options, click on Connection and under Transport Encryption set “Minimum encryption level” to RC4. It should work like a charm.

I hope these tweaks work for you too.
