The secret behind The Secret
Have you ever asked yourself:
1. Why do some ignorant people become wealthy while many brilliant people remain poor?
2. Why do many people work very hard and are broke while a few work effortlessly and earn millions?
If you're like me, you've spent the better part of your life trying to figure out how to create more income. Maybe not billions or even millions of dollars, but most everyone I know would like to provide more for their family and security for themselves.
I can't count the number of books I've read on the subject or the dollars I've spent on audio tapes, CDs and seminars. I've been confused when two apparently credible teachers gave conflicting advice. I've been frustrated and distraught when I seemingly followed step by step the teachings of the latest guru only to fail miserably. I've been discouraged and depressed when it appeared that I'd never find the true means to achieve what I sought for me and my family.
To finally discover a method of creating wealth that was based on precise scientific laws and eternal truths was literally a dream come true.
It all started with a program I was introduced to by Bob Proctor, but more on that in a minute.
The back story, as it were, is just as interesting. Because Australian filmmaker Rhonda Byrne was so influenced by the very same teaching that changed my life, that she conceived of and then produced the mega-successful DVD and subsequent book of "The Secret."
It's all based on a "little green book" that's more than 100 years old (no, it's not "As A Man Thinketh," but you'll see many of the same principles at work).
We've posted a four minute video that is well worth watching. You can get the video and "the rest of the story" right here...
As always, thanks for supporting our site :-)

P.S. Stop and think about it. If there's a science for just about everything in the world you can think of, then why shouldn't there be a science for getting rich. That was the first thought I had after I listened to my first lesson. And I can't begin to tell you how excited I got after I realized that not only was that true -- but I had been handed the exact formula that the science was based on. Can I pass the formula on to you? Learn more here...

Yahoo! Shortcuts: Illumination @ the Point of InspirationStaying focused on a task at hand in a world of information overload is really challenging these days. Every piece of information is an opportunity to disrupt my flow. I often find myself reading an article and asking questions like, "Where is Solihull?" or "What does 'ARM' stand for?" Then, I proceed on a 45 minute search to find answers, only to return asking myself again, "Where did all my time go and what was I looking for anyways?"
To solve this problem for me and a few hundred million users Reiner Kraft and his engineering team -- folks who have been researching these types of problems for years -- developed Yahoo! Shortcuts to make the vision of delivering relevant content and services at the point of inspiration a reality. You may have seen the post on the precursor to Yahoo! Shortcuts, Y!Q.
At the beginning of the year we worked with the Yahoo! Mail team to launch Yahoo! Shortcuts for mail. I knew we had something interesting when it passed the "wife-test" (my wife serves as a great barometer for whether a feature is actually useful). A few weekends ago we were headed into the city for a concert and my wife's friend had forwarded her the venue address. I glanced over to find that Yahoo! Shortcuts had detected the location and provided the exact cross-streets for the venue in a map similar to the one below. There was no need for her to pull-up a new browser window, navigate to a maps site, then copy and paste the address. It was all right there for her in this mini-map without her ever leaving the email.
It didn't stop with Yahoo! Mail. Yahoo! Finance and parts of Yahoo! Travel also rolled out Yahoo! Shortcuts. Whether reading up on financial information or planning a vacation, the shortcuts offer added details in various online searches. And, most recently, Yahoo! News has also rolled out the shortcuts (many thanks to Rob Hall and the entire Yahoo! News team).
So, when you're reading a story on Yahoo! News and have no idea where Solihull is (myself included), or you just want to know more about what the Federal Reserve Board does, Y! Shortcuts can provide you with the quick answers you're looking for.
Whenever a jagged underline appears under a term, such as 'Federal Reserve' in the story below, simply click on it to see contextually relevant content in related news, photos, videos, web search results, maps, and more. If you know what type of content you want, just mouse over the term for a menu of options.
Yahoo! Shortcuts is about providing users with the information desired at the precise moment they want it -- from instant satisfaction of a passing curiosity to the ability to gain a deeper understanding of current events.
We are just getting started with Yahoo! Shortcuts and, as always, we welcome your feedback in the comments below. Which websites would you like to see Yahoo! Shortcuts deployed to? Any ideas for what content we could include in Yahoo! Shortcuts that would make you say "Wow!"? The floor is open.

Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 and oneSearch Expand Mobile Search ExperienceAs you may have heard already, this week our Connected Life team has taken Go for Mobile 2.0 GA in the US and further expanded Yahoo! oneSearch into Asia with six new carrier partnerships.
Now ready for primetime, the new version of Yahoo! Go 2.0 and the access to localized beta versions in 13 countries will be available today, expanding to more than 200 different mobile phones in the U.S. by the end of July and more than 400 by end of year. Helping to broaden the adoption of the mobile Internet, the team has included a few new enhancements in this version, including increased speed, better e-mail, more powerful maps, easier navigation and better mobile search results.
Further expanding the mobile search experience is the recent development coming out of Yahoo! oneSearch this week. Yahoo! has now signed partnership agreements with six major mobile operators across Asia to distribute oneSearch, reaching nearly 100 million new subscribers. Since its beta launch in January and Asia launch in May, we've listened to all the great feedback from our users and have constantly worked to improve performance, make navigation easier and increase local relevance -- all with the goal of giving consumers better search results and instant answers.
Dave Ko, VP and GM of Yahoo!'s Connected Life division in Asia, just announced these partnerships and the rollout of the new version of Go 2.0 at CommunicAsia 2007 in Singapore. You can take a look at his conference recap and the details of the recent oneSearch expansion here.

Flickr-izing Image Search
Whether you're planning a vacation to Italy and want a preview of some of the sights in Rome like Piazza di Spagna or The Vatican, doing a horticultural homework assignment on heirloom tomatoes, or perhaps seeing what food at the French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley, California looks like, Yahoo! Image Search is the starting point for many of you out there. Now when you use Yahoo! Image Search, in addition to the billions of images we crawl from the Web, you've got access to over 300 million images from the amazing community of photographers on Flickr.
We had a of couple objectives for this integration. First, we wanted to ensure that we respected the contributions from the Flickr community and give credit where credit is due. Results from Flickr are attributed to the photographer with a 'by membername on Flickr' attribution. As usual, clicking on the thumbnail takes you to the photo. And clicking on the photographer's name sends you to their photo stream so you can see their public photos.
Second, we wanted to build a scalable integration that surfaced the freshest, most relevant content from Flickr. As a result, we've built this integration via a direct feed versus an API, ensuring timely results for your image queries, including any modifications or additions that are made in Flickr.
This integration brings another layer of relevance, freshness and, dare we say, beauty to our Image Search. And it's only the beginning. Please let us know what's working for you and what you'd like to see in future integrations in the comments below.
UPDATE: Thanks for your comments, guys. With regard to your privacy concerns, yes there is an opt-out option. Just as you can select how your images are viewed within the Flickr community, you can also choose which images are omitted from Yahoo! Image Search and other search engines. For details on the different layers of privacy within Flickr, take a look at the privacy page.

Permalink Comments (5) Bookmark del.icio.us digg Filed In: Search June 28, 2007It's Summer Time -- Happy TravelsSummer is in full swing, and it's getting harder and harder to focus on work. My mind constantly wanders off to possible destinations for my next vacation. I'm thinking a two-week European getaway -- Barcelona for the architecture, Provence and French Riviera for some great food and relaxation by the beach and finally London for some shopping and Broadway shows.
It's getting easier than ever to plan a vacation with the help of Yahoo! Search. Whether you're a budget traveler or a luxury traveler, you can quickly find the right hotel. After a quick search using 'Hotels Barcelona,' prices look pretty affordable.
But for me, I'm somewhere in the middle. I can't rough it in hostels but I'm also not willing to pay premium prices for a 5 star hotel. So, I started by checking the 4 star hotels that came up in my Yahoo! Shortcuts results, hoping to find something nice for around $150. Thanks to Yahoo! Travel, the narrowed results gave me the photos, reviews and prices all in one place, which makes the process of choosing a hotel much easier.
Another great way to save time is to go with a trusted name. For the London portion of my trip, I searched for 'Hilton London' in Yahoo! Search and came up with this helpful Shortcut.
The third option I clicked on looks pretty promising -- near a Tube stop, good user ratings, almost within desired price range, and the photos look great!
Two searches on Yahoo! Search and I've knocked out two major destinations on my list. Now, I just need to get a feel for Provence and the French Riviera. My vacation planning is coming along nicely!
Wherever your travels may take you -- Shanghai, Florence, or New York -- try finding the perfect hotel for your next trip on Yahoo! Search. Try hotels Shanghai, hotels Florence or hotels New York.
Happy travels!

Yahoo! A look inside the world of search from the people at Yahoo!
The "Buzz" on Fourth of JulyOccasionally, I'm a stickler for details. With Independence Day approaching, I thought it would be cool to recreate the first celebration. So, I made a list. Break free from Britain. Have a bonfire on my lawn. Clear my driveway for horse-drawn floats. Stock the feast rum, salted meat, fish, and more rum. Persuade New York to release all its debtors from prison.
Well, I don't have a driveway, so I'm celebrating the new-fangled American way with picnics, parades and, naturally, pyrotechnics.
Enthusiasm for fireworks though, seems a little mixed and it's not because the Fourth falls on a hump day this year. As we noted in our annual Buzz log nod to the Fourth, anticipation for the Fourth of July in the past six months has been 30% higher than in 2006. Yet, recent "fireworks" look-ups are a full 33% lower than last year.
However, tally up all those DIY queries for fireworks stores and specific sellers like phantom fireworks, and the numbers show that interest in our grand explosive tradition hasn't necessarily fizzled out. Yes, guys still tend to be the primary pyros, driving six out of 10 searches. Not that I can prove it, but I suspect it's the boys responsible for all the homemade fireworks searches.
The Buzz has also been tracking a surge for pies. For the most part, apple has been the filling of choice in Search... but we've had a last-minute upset. No, I dare not impugn the wholesome pomaceous fruit and its role in the most American of delicacies, but in the past week, key lime pie has squeezed past to get to the top of the pie heap. And yes, cherry pie is still staying strong in the mix.
As for the heart and soul of July Fourth, I'm happy to report that the patriotic spirit is alive and well. We've tracked searches that look into historical figures and places, clothing and tattoos, decorating the homestead and making crafts, and how to sing songs and recite poetry that shows our love of the motherland. Interestingly, public interest in the Patriot Act picked up noticeably in June. Curiosity and debate about Patriot Act summary, Patriot Act pros and cons and the like shows how Search has become part of the democratic process, and underscores how we the citizenry continue to involve ourselves in the workings of our republic.
However you choose to declare your independence, you won't be alone. Happy Fourth of July.
