Google Blocks Use of paypal

Beware: Google Blocks Use of PayPal!

It has recently been uncovered that Google is blocking the use of PayPal for payments.

The Washington Post uncovered that the Google App Engine, the new platform for building and hosting 3rd party applications, was not allowing the integration of PayPal payment handling.

The problem, as stated by the Washington Post, is that “developers who are building apps that use PayPal to handle payments usually require the application to send a request to the PayPal service. The URL’s used in these requests are all on the paypal.com domain name, and there is a test environment setup on a URL at www.sandbox.paypal.com. In Google App Engine applications, requests to either of these URL’s returns a generic ‘download’ error with no specific details.”

Considering that Google has its own payments system - Google Checkout - could this be just an honest mistake, or is there something more sinister going on here?

There was quite a discussion surrounding this on the Google App Engine forum, including a comment by Google employee Marzia Niccolai, saying that it was just an accident:

Thanks for the report! This is a bug, and we have located the problem. There was an error in our anti-phishing protections that was blocking some specific URL domains from being fetched using the URLFetch service. This was an oversight on our part, and these specific domain restrictions will be removed in the next few days.

If the developers themselves are to be believed, this was a deliberate block by Google and now that it has been discovered the search giant is now back-pedaling to make everything OK again.

Weak Economy Force Many into Home-Based Business

Weak Economy Force Many into Home-Based Business

The weakening economy and rising fuel prices has lead to greater unemployment across America. Instead of profit, new home-based businesses are opened for family survival.

Just a decade ago if you felt financial pains from a slacked economy your first option was a second job or moonlighting. Franchising with it’s high start-up costs and MLM with it’s checkered past was usually out of the question for most Americans in an economic emergency.

The Internet and telecommunications has changed all of that. Today, it’s believed that over half of all businesses classified “Small Firms” are run from home.

Their low start-up costs and savings on overhead allow, even novices, to turn a profit quickly and have a high level of success compared to traditional brick and mortar businesses.

UK Social Network Ad Spend to Grow 148% 2008-2012

Social networking sites are on the rise in the UK and ad spending on such sites is expected to reach £285 million ($533 million) by 2012, according to eMarketer’s recently released “UK Social Network Marketing: Ad Spending and Usage” report - MarketingCharts writes.

Some 11 million people, or 30 percent of UK internet users, spent time at sites like Bebo, MySpace and Facebook, eMarketer estimates. Those three sites account for the lion’s share of users in the UK.

Though social sites account for only a tiny portion of UK online ad spending (3.4 percent in 2008), social-network ad spend will rise 77 percent this year to £115 million ($225 million), eMarketer projects. Spending in 2012 will have increased 148 percent over 2008 levels

Social networks have been part of the UK internet landscape for several years, and the UK dominates social-network spending in Western Europe with 68 percent of the market.

eMarketer expects the UK social-network market to enjoy slightly greater ad-spending percentage gains than that of the US; the UK social-network ad market trails that of the US by one to two years.

“Though social network advertising is forecast to grow aggressively this year, it will only do so if social network operators can develop substantial metrics showing the value and performance of the advertising,” said Debra Aho Williamson, author of the report.
