Google TV is about to launch. It’s playing a part in the way people think about how the Internet and traditional media meet to form an entertainment experience that is new but not relegated to a traditional television set or a personal computer.

Right now, television shows or movies can be converted to be seen online but it requires a digital device to view the programming. The television set can support digital media but it often lacks a browser. That’s what Google is banking on will make the difference. A browser, search and content that can be seen on a television set as easily as on a digital device.

This will have the purpose of providing television with its own Web oriented architecture. It therefore follows logic that APis could connect the Web and television media into one experience. How apps will correlate to this environment will be in part what defines entertainment in a distributed world.

World Ventures founders Wayne Nugent and Mike Azcue wanted to combine the best of the internet and the travel industry to form a travel based network marketing company. They launched it in December of 2005 from Las Vegas Nevada. The company has been running completely in the black and allows its members to travel at discounted rates, and to sell the travel packages themselves.

President Robert Oblon and Chief Marketing Officer Dan Stamen provide stellar leadership. Grant Merz is director of their Dream Trips program. This program allows its members to travel at a discount, through World Venture’s purchase of bulk trips for a greatly reduced price. Members can choose from vacations in the US, cruises, and stays at luxury hotels abroad.

Rovia is World Ventures exclusive travel provider, who is partnered with many fantastic vacation suppliers, such as: Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Go Go Vacations, Melia Hotels & Resorts, Riu Hotels & Resorts, Funjet Vacations, MLT Vacations, Outrigger Resorts, Elite Island Resorts, and Barcelo Resorts.

The World Ventures founders wanted to create a business where people could not only travel, but also become Leisure Travel Consultants, to sell vacations through Rovia. LTCs get access to a custom website, and earn commissions on travel booked through the website. They also get commissions for recruiting others to become LTCs. These websites only sell vacations through Rovia, they do not make the members actual travel agents.

Start-up OpenSky may have cracked code for Web publishers and small e-tailers, delivering profits to both while helping consumers with a pain-free shopping experience.

A fundamental truth of the Web is that it is easy to publish but hard to monetize. Literally millions of publishers post content on a daily basis yet few reap enough cash to justify the investment in time and energy. Even highly popular bloggers with hundreds of thousands of loyal readers struggle to make the math work. Small manufacturers that set up their own online stores have little hope of drawing large enough audiences to make ends meet. And consumers for the most part struggle to know what to buy and from whom – especially when it comes to specialty goods.

OpenSkyEnter OpenSky, which bounded out of beta last week vowing to change all this. I was aware of OpenSky through evangelist Ted Rubin but didn’t really get the concept until I sat down with the principals and one of their early beta testers for a couple of hours at their opening soiree. I now get it. And while OpenSky benefits publishers, their readers, and small-scale manufacturers with a robust Web platform, I think the idea boils down to this: OpenSky is a scalable micro-commerce utility that enables publishers of all sizes to actually make money on the Web.

That said, the best way to understand OpenSky is to look at it from the perspective of each of the constituents; publishers, manufacturers, and consumers. In the process, you should come to understand why I think OpenSky is indeed a game changer, and will bring profits to publishers, markets to manufacturers and peace of mind to consumers faster than you can say, ka-ching.

Google Launches Geo-Targeted Mobile Display Ads, Boasts Nearly 100% Mobile Search Share

Google today announced new location-aware mobile display ads for both iPhone and Android devices, introducing iAd-like expandable ad-units that incorporate maps for click-to-call and other rich functionality.

Advertisers will be able to check a “location extension for display” box and their ads will become geo-enabled when viewed in mobile browsers or apps.  It works by including a small double-arrow in the ad-unit, that when touched, expands into a full ad that includes a map overlay with the business pinned on a Google Map.  In addition, the map overlay includes two large calls-to-action for “get directions” and “click-to-call.”

Google has experimented with these types of ad-units before, with pretty good results so far.  The company has said that mobile ads that offer a location generally see an average 8 percent increase in click-through rates over plain-vanilla mobile ads, and click-to-call mobile ads see a 6 percent increase in clicks.

www.MobileMarketingWatch.com reported on 7-30-2010 that google will now offer advertisers the ability to advertise on thier mobile platform through your adwords account.  This is a fantastic medium for local businesses to target new clients.  For more information on this interesting article Click here .

Earlier this month, Google began experimenting with some new local search results formats, according to a post by Linda Buquet on Mike Blumenthal’s Understanding Google Maps & Local Search blog. The new layout essentially replaces some regular keyword search listings with what were 7-pack listings, and moves the map to the right side of the page. The design appears to be good for consumers but devastating for the SEO of online business directories as well as for some small-to-medium businesses.

The new design might best be described as more of a business directory listings page than a keyword search results page. This new layout appears only for Google’s regular/main keyword search, when locally-oriented keywords are used, such as “dentist chicago,” and presumably doesn’t affect the layout of results in Google Maps itself. Previously, such searches resulted in regular “organic” listings of pages which the Google algorithm deemed relevant for the search query, along with a 7-pack of local listings from Google Maps embedded somewhere within the listings under Universal Search. In the new experimental layout what were 7-pack listings are now distributed within the main listing area of the page, with “A,” “B,” “C”… enumerated marker icons matched up to their locations within the small map image. The map is moved from the middle-left to the right hand column, above the sponsored listings, and its position stays within the visible area of the browser when the page is scrolled.

Others have been seeing the new layout, too, and we’ve been comparing notes. The new layout is better understood when seen, rather than described:

Mike Blumenthal quotes a Google spokesperson as confirming the layout test: “It is an experiment — we’re continually trying out new tweaks to a portion of our users.” But, the alternate design is considerably more than a “tweak”—it’s a major evolutionary change.

I believe that in order to become successful in business you must find  a product or service you totally believe in, use regularly, and know is needed in the marketplace. To many people join a business for the wrong reasons. Like because some one else is making money in that business, or because their friend or relative told them about how some person in Alaska that is raking in the dollars from thier igloo, or because they can afford the proven franchise costs.

Not every business opportunity is for you or me. I want a busienss that I control, not one that controls me. I want a business that is run virtually with low over head. I want a business that has huge net margins with little fixed costs or up front cost. I hope you really consider the reasons you start or join a business and not just get caught up in the hype.
