SAN FRANCISCO — British telecommunications titan Virgin Media announced on Monday that it will use Yahoo oneSearch to power Internet exploration for its mobile service customers.
Virgin says that it plans to start using oneSearch at a new “enhanced mobile portal” beginning December 8.
“Our new Virgin Media mobile portal brings the web to consumers’ pockets,” Virgin Mobile managing director Graeme Oxby said in a release.
“By integrating Yahoo! oneSearch into the portal, we are ensuring our customers have all the information they need at their fingertips.”
The pioneering California Internet firm’s technology will be used to deliver news, music, video, games, entertainment and online search to people using Virgin mobile Internet connections.
OneSearch content is tailored for mobile use by minimizing the number of links followed to reach desired content and by delivering Internet pages formatted for screens of handheld devices.
For example, a search on a name of a film will result in a page with show times at local cinemas along with reviews and details about cast members.
California-based Yahoo, which has been struggling to improve its revenues in the face of daunting competition from Internet advertising colossus Google, is focusing on luring advertisers by effectively targeting mobile customers.
“Together, Virgin Media and Yahoo! are enhancing the user’s mobile Internet experience in the UK while creating unique opportunities for advertisers to reach a highly-engaged audience of mobile consumers,” said Mitch Lazar, managing director of Connected Life Europe, Yahoo.
Virgin is considered a role model for combining Internet, television, mobile telephone and fixed-line telephone services to become a “quadruple-play” media company with millions of customers.

Barack Obama did more than thump John McCain in the Electoral College tally; he also handily won the popular vote and redrew the great divide between red states and blue states.
Riding a Democratic tide that bolstered the party’s presence in both houses of Congress, Obama snared about 63 million votes to McCain’s 55.8 million, according to totals early Wednesday.
According to exit polls, Obama crushed McCain among women voters (56 percent to 43 percent); voters under 30 (66 percent to 32 percent); African-American voters (95 percent to 4 percent); Latino voters (66 percent to 32 percent); first-time voters (68 percent to 31 percent); and voters making less than $100,000 a year (55 percent to 43 percent).
“I think this is the passing of an old order,” CNN senior political analyst David Gergen said as the results rolled in Tuesday night and the outcome became increasingly evident.

Great Eyeglasses For Less!!! That is the words the I read on Fox News websites. I was surprise a bit when I saw this words on one of the most popular news station in the world. And because of this I gave time to read what is all about.
ZenniOptical.com is what they are talking about here and when I browse their website I saw such as design like Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni. Their eye glasses are very cheap yet very presentable and maybe because of this, they are featured at Fox. Yes, you read it right, Zenni on Fox.

During an economic downturn, while people really want more business, they can also be far more cautious. So what can you see yourself doing today, using the very best techniques that cost you nothing, to survive and even prosper?
If you don’t have the time to spend 3 minutes reading this, you might find that your prospects or customers feel the same way about you!
Relationships Reap Results
Would you believe that you are probably about seven contacts away from Bill Gates?
Picture this: you pay several thousands per a single ad in a national newspaper or a magazine. Sometimes all what you get are a few phone calls asking about any job vacancies in your company. By contrast, networking does not necessarily have to cost you money. More likely, it will make use of your time, creativity and energy.
So how can you maximise the effectiveness of your referral strategy so that you win more business? There are actually seven “bees” to help you:
1. Be curious. You enter a room full of “men and women in black”, drinking coffee. You approach them, not because you want to tell them about your excellent business but purely because you are truly interested in THEM and in what THEY do.
2. Be open. If you ask, and then expect an honest and open reply, offer the same when they ask you – do not hide anything, be approachable and happy to share your knowledge.
3. Be helpful. When you learn about what they do, find a link between you and them, and if they mention any issue they are facing, do everything in your power to help them. If they are looking for a solicitor and you know one, tell them immediately. If they need some marketing advice and you are in marketing, offer them a free consultation.
4. Be tolerant. Sometimes they are not in the mood. Sometimes, they are simply tired or a little bit shy. Do not condemn them ; instead, find out what is going on and try to help them.
5. Be reliable. When you offer help, even just a follow-on phone call or an email, make sure that you really do it. Keep your word, whatever happens. People then will rely on you and they will be able to refer their friends and partners to you.
6. Be specific. If asking for referrals directly, be specific. Nothing like “do you know anybody…?” works. You need to ask for a company, ask for a person in the company, ask for a name.
7. Be yourself. With affectation you get nowhere. You want to be coherent so that people will feel well when talking to you. Your gestures, your words and your ideas must be one. So find out who you really are, what you do, how you help people and speak about your true yourself.
Ever heard of the BNI? Givers Gain.
When speaking about referrals and networking, we cannot miss Business Networking International (BNI). What hides behind this name is nothing less than the most successful organisation that discovered the secret to successful referral strategy: “Givers Gain”.
This it the “good news” of networking – you do not have to be pushy, you do not have to sell yourself, you do not have to be hated. The exact opposite is true - when you help people, either by giving them “hot” referrals or by delivering good quality service to their friends or to themselves, people will love you and they will find ways to give back what they got from you. The key to success here is: you give first.
How marketing companies respond
When you go to a marketing consultant, they create the whole marketing strategy for you. But do they actually look at your referral strategy and do you know exactly how to build your network so that you get more business at the end of the day?
Start Today
How can you master all techniques of successful networking? Well, you cannot wait till you become an expert. At networking, you actually become an expert purely “by doing” – and, quite often, by making mistakes and correcting errors, you polish your skills so that as time passes, you build your network and become a respected networker. Fingers crossed!
