A new feature is that you can now also like the Facebook page and comment via Facebook. If you like the Facebook page you get to see the oneline jokes in your Facebook timeline. Nice isn't it?

As always you can tweet @NotSoBright your reactions, both positive and negative, and they will show up as comments under the joke at the web site www.notsobright.com. Whenever we post a new online joke we use the hash tag #NotSoBright so it's easy for you all to search for the jokes if you like.

We're also still looking for new jokes, so if you've found a nice online joke please tweet it to @NotSoBright.

If you prefer you can subscribe to the NotSoBright.com web site via email also. At this time you only get the one line jokes and not the comments from the other users, but perhaps that will change in the future.

One of our first web sites was XavierMail.com which offered free email accounts, and it's still live. You can get your very own @xaviermail.com address.

One of the things I'm mostly proud of is the environmental engagement we do both via our actions in the daily life and also via the investments we do in our site XavierMedia.org. We only have one planet and we have to use it visely.

XavierMedia.com is offering all our fantastic visitors cheap web hosting and domain name registrations via coupons if you join our Facebook page. It's free and then you get a discount coupon, so why no do it. Read more at XavierMedia.com.

Once again, Happy Birthday to us!

Some of th themes we use for sites and blogs like at XavierMedia.com or at this site, got a big picture above the blog posts and if no other picture is selected when the blog post is published a random image from XavierMedia.dk is used instead of just a blank box. It's a little bit more fun with a picture from one of the places we've visited then just a blank box, don't you agree?

Most of these photos have been taken by me (Andreas) for Xavier Media, so you're welcome to use the photos yourself on your web site as long as you give me and Xavier Media credit for it . The pictures are free for commercial use too, as long as credit is given to both me and Xavier Media. Here's some example code you can use for the credits:

MyXavier Quality Rules is a post from: Xavier Media Group

On XavierMedia.com about 25% of the users are using a version of Internet Explorer an as much as 30% of them are using IE6. To encourage all the users of IE6 we're adding a text at the top of most of our pages letting them know that they're using an old and out-dated web browser. The users with IE6 will be suggested 4 updated web browsers: Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer 8 and Chrome.

At the same time as we're asking users to upgrade to a newer web browser with much fewer security issues, we will also stop testing our web projects in IE6. This means that if you use IE6 you may or may not be able to use our services in the future.

If you as a web developer, blogger or web site owner also would like to add the same message box asking people with old web browsers to update you can find the code you need at IE6 no more.com. They have codes for several languages like for example English, Spanish and Swedish. Users with new web browsers will of course not have to see the message box at all since it will only show when people with IE6 visit your site.

If you would like to see some of the things we've worked on during this time we have a "time machine" available for you at www.xmg.biz/timemachine/

Over these years we've developed over 200 web sites and many of them are still online today. Some of them we've sold to others, but they are still active. What we will continue to focus our development on the next 13 years depends on the global trends and technology development. My guess is that more social media networking related sites and projects will be done, but I hope we will see new innovative sites in other areas too.

Once again congratulations to the Xavier Media® Group and all our companies

Happy birthday to Xavier Media® is a post from: Xavier Media Group

When you do business online today the most popular currency is the dollar, but that's not good if you're located in a country which doesn't use dollar since the dollar have lost a lot of buying power this year.

To get an idea, just have a look at how the exchange rate between dollar and euro have developed over the year:

The dollar has gone from an high-level of 0.79 against the euro down to 0.67 today!!!! This means that for every dollar you make you're actually earning 15% less that you would in April this year. And that's without losing any sales at all.

There's a similar trend for other currencies too, like for the Swedish Krona (SEK):

The drop here is from 9.25 in March down to 6.87 today. That's even worse then the development for the euro since that's a loss of 25.7%!!!

Lets hope the development changes soon, or Internet companies will have to start paying in euro instead.

A big thanks to Xavier Finans for the graphs.

The movie is about how Dole (the fruit company) used harmful pesticides at their banana fields they knew where dangerous to
the workers. The movie is really something Dole doesn't want you to see, since they're trying to sue the filmmakers just to stop the movie….
