dirSpace Google PagesEach user is provided with 100 megabytes of free storage space, and while there is a limit on the amount of bandwidth a site is allowed, Rosenstein says he doubts most people will ever reach the limit. The limit is primarily in place to foil the efforts of spammers, he said.
Pages hosted on Google Pages are ordinary web pages, and will be included in Google's (and presumably other search engines) web index, though they won't be given any special treatment in ranking.

If you have just ‘opened’ your new online business, are thinking about starting one, or want to give your existing website more online exposure, choosing the right online directory to advertise your website on is definitely a smart professional move.
You will want to make sure that your business is listed in a place that is easy for people to find, organized, and gets the appropriate amount of traffic that will expose your site to the masses. The ranking that your website has in a web directory is instrumental in determining how much traffic your site will receive, and the type of web directory you choose is just as important.
dirSpace is an
online reference library that can help you to achieve the kind of success for your website that you want and need. dirSpace is an online library that categorizes websites and businesses by subject and interests, so that people searching online for information, services, or items that your business has to offer can find them with ease.
That means that people can find great places to shop, locally or online, information on quality restaurants, the latest news, and articles on everything from home repair to home remedies simply by using dirSpace as a web directory. Categories on dirSpace include
Business and Industry,
Education,
Arts & Humanities,
Shopping, and even
News and Media. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for in the categories that dirSpace offers, you can type in the subject or words that you want, and the search engine will direct you to the most helpful resources.
If you’re writing articles for your site or for another online business, you may also want to use this as a way to make sure that the web directory has all the information necessary to make searching easier for potential customers.
For instance, the articles or informational material that you write for the site may have a number of keywords that will make it easy to find in the dirSpace directory. And, the directory is edited by humans, so that you and your customers will receive quality results each time you search, whether you’re trying to find a business, information on a specific location, or are doing research.
And, if you do decide to list your business or website with dirSpace, you’ll receive a weblink ‘backlink’ that more people will be exposed to, so customers will be much more likely to visit your site.
Before you decide to have your business or informational website listed with dirSpace, it’s a good idea to try the site out for yourself, in order to see just how easy it is to find facts on whatever subject you’re curious about. That way, you’ll know what sort of words or phrases potential customers and website visitors will be looking for, and you can make sure that the keywords that people will use (if they’re using a search engine to find your online business) are effective. You may also want to check out some of the businesses in the category you’ll be listed in to see where you’ll be ranked and how ‘available’ you’ll be to online searchers. The site even provides a list of recently added sites, so that you can see that no matter how small or how new your website is, having it listed on dirSpace
A Spanish start-up company called Fon has attracted a $21.5m investment from investors including Skype and Google to build a global shared Wi-Fi internet access infrastructure.The service aims to build a service based on consumers sharing their broadband internet access with other individuals.
Users are required to download a special application to run on their Wi-Fi routers or purchase a router with the software pre-installed. The software only supports the Linksys WRT54GL, WRT54GS and WRT54G routers. The company expects to add support for additional routers in the future.
The firmware upgrade creates a second separate network that operates independently from the user's home network to prevent any security issues. The shared network is configured to use no more than 50 per cent of a user's bandwidth. The service defines three kinds of users. Non-members who pay to get access to the network are called Aliens. They use the network of so-called Bills, people who provide internet access at a fee. A Linus is a user who only shares the connection free of charge with other members.
Sharing a broadband internet connection in some cases violates the terms of use, but Fon hopes to gain support from providers through revenue sharing deals.
The service will initially have little appeal, admitted the firm's founder Martin Varsavsky, but should get more interesting as more users sign up."At the very beginning, when there are no obvious advantages to joining FON, it is not so easy to get Foneros [users], even though the service is free," he wrote on his blog.
"But as Foneros continue to join, and there are more and more Fonero hotspots, the dream of a unified global broadband wireless signal becomes a reality.
"The FON movement, as we call it, can achieve what 3G or EVDO has not - a truly broadband wireless Internet everywhere. 3G/EVDO are great for coverage, but their throughput is pitiful compared to WiFi and they are way too expensive. "
The service has been live in Spain and the US for about 90 days and claims over 3,000 registered access points. An overview of access points mapped out on Google maps is available online.
The company's website also lists team members in Argentina, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Mexico and Sweden.
