		<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Recently, a good friend of mine was preparing for her PMP Certification Exam, and was frustrated by the massive number of <strong>PMP Exam prep books</strong> and courses on the market.  She was paralyzed by the decision on which study guide to buy.  I told her my theory on buying any educational book and she gave it a try and it worked out just fine for her.  What&#8217;s my theory?  It&#8217;s very simple.  Look at what PMP exam prep book everyone else is buying&#8230;if it&#8217;s good enough for them, it&#8217;s good enough for you and me.<span id="more-1650"></span></p>
<p>All you have to do is go to Amazon.com and use there<a title=" Best PMP Exam prep book" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26sort%3Dsalesrank%26ref_%3Dsr_st%26keywords%3Dpmp%2520exam%2520prep%26qid%3D1283886748%26rh%3Dn%253A283155%252Cn%253A%25211000%252Ck%253Apmp%2520exam%2520prep%26page%3D1&amp;tag=webchicklet-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&quot;" target="_self"> Bestsellers Feature</a>.  It&#8217;ll show you which book everyone is buying, then you just look at the reviews and sample pages of the top 3 or 4 and decide which one sounds the best fit for your style of learning!  Easy, right?  I find it works very well 9 times out of 10 on any topic, including PMP Certification Exam prep books.</p>
<p>So, if you are looking for the best PMP Exam prep book, have a look at these top 3 bestsellers on Amazon:</p>
<p>1. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0972967346?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webchicklet-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0972967346">The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=webchicklet-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0972967346" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> ,  by Andy Crowe</p>
<p>If you actually ran the best sellers feature on Amazon, you&#8217;ll be wondering why this is number one on Webchicklet.  Well, I placed this one number one, because according to many readers, and my friend, this is really the best, and only book you need on PMP exam prep.   It really does give you the info and tools to pass the PMP test on the FIRST try.  If you don&#8217;t have it, get it.  If you already have it, then you don&#8217;t need any other one!</p>
<p>2.   <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1932735186?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webchicklet-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1932735186">PMP Exam Prep, Sixth Edition: Rita&#8217;s Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=webchicklet-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1932735186" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> by Rita Mulcahy and PMP</p>
<p>Everything you need is in here to pass the test, according to people who have bought this book.  Rita Mulcahy has a ton of experience in PMP Exam prep, so you really can&#8217;t go wrong with this book.  She has a knack at explaining and presenting the material in a way that helps readers absorb all the important points.</p>
<p>3. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0982576803?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webchicklet-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0982576803">PMP Exam Prep Questions, Answers, &amp; Explanations: 800+ PMP Practice Questions with Detailed Solutions (Volume 1)</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=webchicklet-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0982576803" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> by Christopher Scordo</p>
<p>This is based on the PMBOK Guide Fourth Edition.  This is for those students that maybe don&#8217;t have alot of practical project management experience.  It has over 800 detailed PMP exam practice questions covering everything you need to know to pass the test.</p>
<p>There you have it.  If you are studying for the PMP Exam, you only need one of these books.  If you know a friend or colleague looking to do the test, this is your chance to get a great gift for their birthday or Christmas!  My friend chose Andy Crow&#8217;s book, and was glad she did.  Your mileage may vary. Either way, let everyone know which one you choose, and why you chose it, in the comments below.  And good luck on the PMP Exam!</p>

		<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Nope, I&#8217;m not talking about some obscure (and unpopular) new google smartphone here, I&#8217;m talking about free calls to the US or Canada through <a title="Google phone" href="http://www.gmail.com" target="_self">Google Phone</a>, in your gmail account!  Yesterday I was checking one of my lesser used gmail accounts and noticed a new item under my chat window on the left that said Call phone.  They haven&#8217;t actually come up with a name for the new feature, I just made up Google Phone as it seems like a logical name.</p>
<p><span id="more-1639"></span></p>
<p>hmm, that sounds interesting.  So I grabbed my microphone headseat and gave it a try. I calleda friend in Canada and it said it was free, and on top of that my friend had no idea I was calling through my laptop, as the voice quality was so clear.</p>
<p>As is quite often the case, Google unveiled this new amazing Skype killer with little (or any??) fanfare on Wednesday August 25, 2010.  I don&#8217;t know how long it will last, but for 2010calls to the U.S. and Canada are free.  For now, this is only available to gmail users in theUnited States.  This is a great addition to their already amazing video chat feature.  It seems they are out to crush Skype with agressive pricing to other countries.  For example, calls to India are only  6 cents, Italy 2 cents, and Dominican Republic only $.06.  These prices are all lower than skype.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gmail_google_call_phone.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1551" title="gmail_google_call_phone" src="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gmail_google_call_phone-315x300.jpg" alt="google call phone" width="315" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s super easy to use:</p>
<p>Click on Call Phone</p>
<p>Select Country, and dial phone number.</p>
<p>Hit Call and wait for it to ring and the person to answer.</p>
<p>Just make sure you have a microphone and your computer volume is turned up.</p>
<p>While this is pretty awesome stuff, I won&#8217;t be entirely impressed until  I see a Google Phone app for my HTC Incredible Android based phone.  Until then, I&#8217;ll still have to use Skype on my phone.  Come Google, get&#8217;er done!</p>

<p>Several months ago I wrote about the wonders of Groupon.com, as they were the quickest out of the gate in the Local Deal of Day arena.   More and more combatants have entered the fray over these last few months and <strong><a title="Tippr.com groupon alternative" href="http://www.webchicklet.com/go/tippr" target="_self">Tippr.com</a></strong> seems to be a standout, as the dust continues to settle.  While all the Groupon knockoffs, ehem, I mean alternatives, seem to be offering great local deals of the day on a consistent basis, I&#8217;m getting a<span id="more-1485"></span> little tired of the same old half off a $40 restaurant tab.</p>
<p>Groupon, Living Social, Buywithme, etc all seem to be cycling through the the half off restaurant deals every day, at least in my neck of the woods (Washington, DC/Northern VA area).  So I decided to give Tippr.com a try, and have been impressed with their offerins to date, or at least not as bored with them.</p>
<p><a title="Tippr.com subscribe" href="http://www.webchicklet.com/go/tippr" target="_self"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1486" title="tippr.com_groupon_alternative" src="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/tippr.com_groupon_alternative-350x244.png" alt="tippr deal of the day" width="350" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>One of the interesting things about Tippr.com that sets them apart from Groupon and the others is their maximum discount on a deal of the day gets bigger as more and more subscribers click to buy it!   I love when I see a local deal that I want, it already is offered at say 50%, and then later in the day after more people have bought, the discount goes up to 75% or more!  Cha-Ching!</p>
<p>Tippr.com is just as easy to use as all the rest:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="www.webchicklet.com/go/tippr" target="_self">Subscribe at Tippr.com</a> with your email address and select your city of choice and they&#8217;ll send you the deals of the day for that city each morning</li>
<li>Share it with your friends, colleagues, family, enemies, the dog next door.  Remember, the more people who buy, the more you all save!</li>
<li>Click on the Buy Now button. If you like what you see, buy it, and when the deal closes, they email you the voucher which you can print at home and redeem at the vendors place of business or online if it&#8217;s an online vendor.</li>
</ol>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t get any easier than that!  They are know to offer deals of the day at local restaurants, spas, retail shops, city events, bars, theaters and more.   They are starting out slow, so the cities they currently offer deals of the day for are:</p>
<div id="_mcePaste">
<ul>
<li>Atlanta</li>
<li>Boston</li>
<li>Chicago</li>
<li>Honolulu</li>
<li>Los Angeles</li>
<li>New York</li>
<li>San Francisco</li>
<li>Seattle</li>
<li>Washington DC</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>So the next time you&#8217;re feeling the need to save some money, give Tippr.com a try.  And remember&#8230;.you&#8217;ve got to spend money, to save money.</p>

		<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Yesterday, I sold one of my PHP Link Directory script link directories, and in the deal I agreed to transfer the phpld directory and template files to the buyers server.  In my mind it seemed like a quick and easy task to transfer an existing PHPLD link directory to a new host.  I was right and wrong.</p>
<div><span id="more-1460"></span>If you do the steps in the correct order it is a quick and easy process.  If you do them in the wrong order (like this webchicklet did), well, you better get up and make another pot of coffee.  That being said, I figure I’m not the only one doing this kind of thing, so here’s a quick step by step guide on how to transfer ownership of a phpld link directory, including how to export the phpld sql link database, and import it into the new installation on the buyers side.</p>
<p>First off, things started off good as the buyer wanted to host the phpld directory at <a title="Hostmonster.com" href="http://www.webchicklet.com/go/hostmonster" target="_blank">Hostmonster</a>, the best web hosting service in my opinion, and the one where my phpld link directory was currently hosted.  So I was already comfortable with their very easy to use cpanel and file manager.</p>
<p>This assumes you’ve transferred the domain and have the hosting set up for the buyer.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1:  Export your current phpld link directory sql database to your computer.</strong></p>
<p>Open your hosts cpanel and select PHPMyAdmin in the Databases section.  Select the database your phpld link directory is using and you’ll see a screen like this (click on photo to enlarge):</p></div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/phpld_link_database_export1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1461" title="phpld_link_database_export1" src="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/phpld_link_database_export1-350x195.jpg" alt="transfer a phpld directory to new host" width="350" height="195" /></a></p>
<p>Select the Export tab, it’ll default to sql file, and hit go to export and save the file to your computer.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2: Copy all files and directories in your current templates folder</strong></p>
<p>Using <a title="Ftp client" href="http://filezilla-project.org/" target="_blank">FileZilla</a>, or your ftp client of choice, log in to your current host and navigate to the directory your phpld installation resides.</p>
<p>Open the templates directory, and download the entire contents to a new folder on your computer.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Create new database on new (buyers) server</strong></p>
<p>Login to your buyers cpanel, or have him/her log into it if they are doing it themselves.  Open up MySQL Database Wizard and run through the easy steps of creating a new db name, a new database user/password, and grant all writing permissions.  Be sure to write down all these database names and user/passwords, as you’ll need them for the new phpld installation.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4: Import your saved database into new server’s database</strong></p>
<p>Now that you’ve created a new (and empty) phpld database, you’ll need to import the sql database that you saved from your old host.</p>
<p>Open phpMyAdmin in cpanel again (on the buyers/new host), select the database you just created, and select the Import tab on top.  Hit the Choose File button, and select the saveddbname.sql file you had exported earlier.</p>
<p>Hit Go, and barring any unforseen problems it should populate the new databse with all the users, links, emails, etc that were stored in the phpld link directory.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5: Download and install new PHPLD script on new server</strong></p>
<p>This one is easy, just upload all the script files/directories and follow the Phpld install instructions from the install.txt file included in the download.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6: Upload your saved template files to the new PHPLD installation</strong></p>
<p>Using FileZilla again, upload the template files to the template directory (overwriting the existing ones if you are using the FREE PHPLD version 2.x).  If you are using the paid version of PHPLD (version 4) you can just upload the templates into their own sub directory and then switch templates via phpld admin menu.</p>
<p>And there you have it, the phpld link directory should be up and running, looking exactly as it did on your old host/server, with all the links, featured links, partner links, etc. intact.  As usual, if you have any questions let me know in the comments below.</p></div>

<p>While I am skeptical of the name, I always welcome competition to stop Apple from taking over the world.   The market may not like it much, given that CSCO stock was down 3.7% today, but given the large drop in the markets today, I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s not related to the launch of this sexy Android tablet.</p>
<p>Cisco&#8217;s unveiling was big on fanfare, but lacking on substance.  Very little in the way of specs were released on the Cisco Cius, such as the type of processor, and the processor speed.  They did say it would weigh in at a lightweight 1.15 pounds, but did not release any size dimensions.  There was also no mention of Wifi and 3G (or 4G) versions like the Apple iPad.   All Cisco said was that &#8220;Cisco Cius will offer HD video streaming and real-time video, multi-party conferencing, email, messaging, browsing, and the ability to produce, edit and share content stored locally or centrally in the cloud.  So one would have to assume wifi and 3G will be available.<br />

An interesting new Android based tablet is exciting news, but the lack of details has me a little deflated and wanting more.   Now we can begin to rumor whether it will be the Verizon or AT&amp;T network this new Cisco Cius runs on.  Please Cisco, give us more info.</p>
<p><strong>**Oops</strong> I should have dug a little deeper, as it seems Cisco has the full specs on the Cius on their website.  Rather than list them all here, you may as well get the full details from Ciscos site:  <a title="Cisco Cius Android tablet" href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11156/index.html" target="_blank">Cisco Cius specs</a>.</p>

So developers looking to make some mad money on Android App Developent should be looking to beef up their Android development skills.  The best way to learn is by reading, and following tutorials, so I&#8217;m going to outline the 5 best selling <strong>Android App Development books</strong>, guides, and tutorial<span id="more-1228"></span>s on Amazon.com.  For technical books, if it&#8217;s a best seller on Amazon, it&#8217;s required reading for you, the developer.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re looking to cash in on the Android App Marketplace, get shopping and get reading.  Or if you have a favorite friend or family member who has an Android device surgically attached to the palm of their hand, one of these books may be the perfect birthday gift.</p>
<p><a title="Android Development Book" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26sort%3Dsalesrank-ddi2%26ref_%3Dsr%5Fst%26keywords%3Dandroid%2520developer%26bbn%3D283155%26qid%3D1275930130%26rh%3Dn%253A283155%252Cn%253A%25211000%252Ck%253Aandroid%2520developer%26page%3D1&amp;tag=webchicklet-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1229" title="android_application_development_book" src="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/android_application_development_book.jpg" alt="" width="241" height="254" /></a></p>
<p>1. <a title="Android Application Development" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470565527?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webchicklet-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0470565527" target="_blank">Professional Android 2 Application Development</a> (Wrox Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)~ Reto Meier</p>
<p>This is the number one selling book on Android development, written by An Android authority.  It&#8217;s an up to date hands on guide on getting the most out of Android 2 development, and provides in depth info that is easy to digest.  With this best of breed book you will gain a solid foundation in Android development that will get you creating top Android apps in short order.  Like all good android development books, Professional Android 2 Application Development will include lessons in the following need to know topics</p>
<ul>
<li>Android application components</li>
<li>layouts and Views to produce compelling resolution independent user interfaces</li>
<li>Providers for sharing data</li>
<li>map-based applications and how to use location-based services such as GPS</li>
<li>background Services, Notifications, and Alarms</li>
<li>creating interactive home screen components</li>
<li>Bluetooth, telephony, and networking APIs info</li>
<li>Using camera and sensors including compass and accelerometers</li>
</ul>
<p>2.  <a title="Pro Android 2" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1430226595?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webchicklet-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1430226595" target="_blank">Pro Android 2</a> (Paperback) ~ Sayed Hashimi, Satya Komatineni, Dave MacLean</p>
<p>This is an excellent book, however it may take a while to get it (1 to 3 months currently).  I can only assume they utilize a just in time delivery protocal, that waits for an order before cutting the trees, making the paper, and then printing the book, and then finally packing the book onto the pony express and shipping it cross country from Alaska.  But seriously, it is a great book well worth the wait.</p>
<p><em>Pro Android 2</em> gets you buiding real-world mobile applications using Google’s latest Android SDK in short order(not counting the delivery time).   The new edition means it fully covers Android 2,  and it offers the rare combination of expert insight and real sample applications that work.  I for one can&#8217;t learn from reading alone, it&#8217;s imperative that I see some working examples.</p>
<p>So, while it takes even longer to get than an HTC Droid Incredible from Verizon, it is an excellent resource for the budding Android developer.</p>
<p>3.  <a title="Android Wireless App Development" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321627091?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webchicklet-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0321627091" target="_blank">Android Wireless Application Development</a> (Paperback)~ Shane Conder, Lauren Darcey</p>
<p>This is a great book that will will get you to the Android marketplace in no time.  However, it does not cover Android 2.   That being said, I&#8217;m sure the author is working on it and it will be updated soon.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s got all the ingredients for a quality book: reliable info, sample code, and best practices needed to program, distribute and market popular and useful Android mobile apps.  Best of all,  the book comes with a CD-ROM containing all of the book’s code samples, as well as some open source tools for Android development.</p>
<p>4.  <a title="Pro Android Games" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1430226471?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webchicklet-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1430226471" target="_blank">Pro Android Games</a> (Paperback) ~ Vladimir Silva</p>
<p>Want to create your own award winning gopher whacking game?  Well here&#8217;s the best book on the market to get you there quickly.  <em>Pro Android Games</em> will teach you how to build cool games from scratch on the latest Android platform. It also shows you how to port other classic freeware/shareware games like <em>Doom</em> and <em>Wolfenstein 3D</em> from C using the Java Native Interface (JNI) for Android.  This is a hands on guide with plenty of code examples to get you going!</p>
<p>5.  <a title="Android Programming Tutorials" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0981678033?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=chevysilve-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0981678033" target="_blank">Android Programming Tutorials</a>, 2nd Edition (Paperback)~ Mark Lawrence Murphy</p>
<p>This is my kind of book, one with plenty of hands on examples, which along with a pot of coffee, helps keep my eyes from defocusing.   From the author: &#8220;A<em>ndroid Programming Tutorials</em> is a collection of exercises that will have you build a pair of relatively sophisticated Android applications: a restaurant database and a Twitter client. The goal of the tutorials is to expose you to a wide range of Android capabilities in the context of a larger application, rather than standalone demonstrations like a programming guide might profile. &#8221;   When I read that, I immediately clicked add to cart.  This is how I learn most easily and quickly.  This book is a 5 star guide that every interested Android App Developer should own, and use frequently!</p>
<p>So there you have it, the 5 most important Android Development books you need to have.  I listed links to Amazon as they have the best prices in the world on pretty much everything, and most books ship free and fast (except number 2 as already noted).  So what are you waiting for?  Get on that Android wave while you still can.  As usual, be sure to let us know below if you come across any better Android Development books.</p>

		<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>With soccer&#8217;s 2010 World Cup in South Africa less than a month away, it&#8217;s time to get ready to get the tools and apps to keep abreast of all the action.  You can&#8217;t just quit your job to watch soccer full time (or can you?&#8230;hmmm) so you better have all the <strong>world cup 2010 toolbars</strong> and <strong>world cup iphone apps</strong> to keep up to date while working, or sleeping.</p>
<p><a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.yahoo.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3526320-10782314" target="_blank"><br />
<img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-3526320-10782314" border="0" alt="" width="300" height="250" /></a><br />
Naturally, if you have an iphone or iPod Touch, you&#8217;ll want to get the best app for the job.  But if you want large screen updates and more robust multimedia World Cup updates, you also need a good toolbar for your pc or laptop.  No matter what your preferred platform, Apps and Toolbars need to have the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Real-time World Cup 2010 Scores</li>
<li>Up to date World Cup 2o10 dates, Schedules, Groupings, and Standings</li>
<li>Real time World Cup news, happenings, injuries</li>
<li>Video highlights, updates and commentary</li>
<li>Accurate TV schedules so you don&#8217;t miss your favorite games</li>
<li>World Cup 2010 Song</li>
<li>World Cup 2010 Draw</li>
<li>World Cup 2010 Tickets info</li>
<li>World Cup 2010 Fixtures</li>
<li>World Cup 2010 Stadiums info</li>
</ul>
<p>So based on the above, here&#8217;s the top World Cup 2010 iPhone App.  And best of all it&#8217;s FREE.  FREE is good.  Drumroll please&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>ESPN 2010 FIFA World Cup App</strong></p>
<p>As usual, ESPN has come out with a best of class sports app with the FIFA World Cup app.  They have the resources to build a solid app, and the resources to bring the most indepth news, analysis, and updates.  Here&#8217;s just some of the reasons the ESPN 2010 World Cup app is the best:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1165" title="espn_world_cup_main" src="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/espn_world_cup_main-208x300.jpg" alt="" width="208" height="300" /></p>
<ul>
<li>The ESPN App brings you exclusive US and global news and anaylsis</li>
<li>Detailed profiles on each and every team in the World Cup</li>
<li>Full schedule</li>
<li>Group news and analysis</li>
<li>You can personalize your app with your team colors!</li>
<li>World Cup history</li>
<li>profiles of the ten world cup venues</li>
<li>ESPN&#8217;s Fantasy Bracket predictor</li>
<li>Exclusive ESPN rankings of the top FIFA teams</li>
<li>Live scores, and gamecasts</li>
<li>news alerts</li>
<li>Fan picture gallery</li>
<li>AND LIVE AUDIO STREAMS!!!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-1166 alignnone" title="espn_world_cup_groups" src="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/espn_world_cup_groups-208x300.jpg" alt="" width="208" height="300" /></p>
<p>For those with a PC or laptop, the <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3526320-10782318" target="_blank">Yahoo Toolbar with World Cup Coverage</a> may be a good bet.  It brings you all the news, real time scores, highlights, tv schedules all in one easy to use toolbar. Naturally, you can also personalize the toolbar with your favorite team theme.  I like it because it&#8217;s easy to install, and with Yahoo&#8217;s solid reputation, you know you&#8217;re not going to get any spyware or other spam issues from this toolbar.</p>
<p><a title="World Cup toolbar app" href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3526320-10782318" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-1164 alignnone" title="yahoo_world_cup_tv" src="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/yahoo_world_cup_tv.png" alt="" width="311" height="268" /></a></p>
<p>So get your apps and toolbars now so you are ready to go next month.  As usual, please comment below if you know of a better World Cup iphone app or a World Cup widget/toolbar for you pc.</p>

<p>So, naturally, I opened up the google.com main search page and typed in the term &#8220;search engine&#8221; to see if they now think they are a relevant search engine.  The results made me laugh yet again.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1055 alignnone" title="best_search_engine" src="http://www.webchicklet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/best_search_engine.jpg" alt="" width="802" height="621" /></p>
<p>As you can see, strangely, not much has changed.   The top three most relevant search engines now are Dogpile, AltaVista, and Bing is now in third place.  Google.com is nowhere to be found on the first page.  In fact, according to the Google Search Engine, the Google Search Engine is the 20th most relevant search engine!  That&#8217;s right, google.com is at the bottom of page 2!  The results are rather strange, given that DogPile.com is probably one of the worst search engines out there.  And Yahoo, supposedly the number two search engine, on number of visitors is listed in 9th place.</p>
<p>If you enter the same search on Yahoo.com, you&#8217;ll see Yahoo Search listed number one, google number two, and again, DogPile is in the top three.  When you search on Bing.com, you get Dogpile number one again, then wikipedia, and then altavista(is Altavista really still around??) .  And interestingly, the ever popular DuckDuckGo.com is the 4th most relevant search engine according to Bing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got nothing more to add to this.  This is just one of those head scratcher&#8217;s that have no right or wrong answers.  But clearly, we should all start buying up DogPile stock, as it will be the next Google!</p>
