Is Google Hiring Americans to Work From Home?
The answer is plain and simple: NO! Well, at least not in the way that it is currently being promoted all over the Internet and even TV.
Be aware! There is a huge, nationwide scam going on! Somebody is illegally using Google’s reputation and even their logo to lure unsuspecting web site owners (or owners-to-be) into the impression they can create revenues through the Internet from the comfort of their home.
The main distributor of this scam and other misleading ads is pulse360, an Online advertising company that uses a number of tricks – including planting malwares through their ads – to help defraud unsuspecting Americans. The scary part is that major web sites like weather.com, msnbc.com, and even the Online version of the Washington Post, washingtonpost.com, are pulse360’s partners-in-crime.

The Bleeding Hills - A Novel by Wilfried F. Voss
I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith
- 2 Timothy iv. 7
The Irish War is officially a part of history, but not for Finnean Whelan, an IRA veteran of almost 40 years. British Intelligence has produced evidence that he is the mastermind behind a conspiracy to assassinate the First Minister of Northern Ireland. Finn is protected in his exile in the United States after having worked for the CIA. Consequently, British Intelligence has come up with a plan to lure Finn back into their jurisdiction, Northern Ireland, by revealing the identity of the man who is ultimately responsible for the killing of Finn’s wife, Shauna. Here they hope not only to apprehend him, but also lead them to another conspirator, Martin Sheehan, who hides in the Northern provinces. For Whelan this is not only a mission of revenge, but marks the beginning of a journey into the past and the return to the one true love: Ireland.
Available in all good bookstores, including Barnes & Noble, and Amazon (US & UK).

Follow my newest adventure – American Male Prostitute
American Male Prostitute - A Novel by Wilfried F. Voss
How I shamelessly promoted my novel with sex, lies, and deceit.
A Novel by Wilfried F. Voss
Stuart Martin Berry has only three months left to find a publisher for his first novel. In a desperate attempt to reach his goal he leaves his home to live in New York. His wife has given him free reins to do whatever it takes to get a book deal. Her only request was not to give her any details on how he got there. If he fails he will be forced to give up his dream of being a famous writer and take a regular forty hour a week job. For Stuart this is sufficient motivation to start a three month adventure full of sex, lies, and deceit, without losing focus of the ultimate goal. When he finally reaches the finish line, he has evolved and become a top expert in the publishing world.
The idea for American Male Prostitute came after reading my favorite, most useless magazine, Writer’s Digest. Just the other day, I found yet another advertisement that made my blood broil, and I was ready to get my hands on that computer keyboard and add a flaming entry to my blog.
Then I remembered the saying “Don’t anger me or I will write a novel about you”, and that is what I am currently doing. There is no better weapon than writing a novel about the industry. They deserve it.
Scribd.com – Copyright Infringement as a Business Model?
Obviously crime pays , or there’d be no crime.
- G. Gordon Liddy
The crime in question may be copyright infringement. The fact is, Scribd, Inc. – the owner of scridb.com – creates income by enabling copyright infringement through their web site. Scribd.com, in their own words, “is the largest social publishing company in the world, the Website where tens of millions of people each month publish and discover original writings and documents.” Also according to Scribd: “All content on Scribd is uploaded and maintained by Scribd’s users with no editorial intervention or approval from Scribd employees.”
On November 6, 2009 I received an e-mail from a friend, informing me that one of my books, and a book I publish for him, has been posted IN FULL on the scribd.com web site. As of the same date there have been 935 “reads” on both books since June this year, which translates in a loss of sales volume of almost $20,000 for me and my friend.
However, this is not where it ends. I did some further research and found more examples of copyrighted literature freely available as a download on scribd.com.
I have decided to follow up on Scribd, Inc.’s practices by starting an article series on this blog and other web sites. They will be nationally advertised through news channels such as Google News, Yahoo News, and more. In my very personl opinion, it is time that the “New Napster In Town” gets national attention.
Note: While FrogenYozurt.com is my personal log, I may generate ad income and accept advertising/ads and links on my blog. Such entries are marked as “Paid Articles.” All other entries reflect my personal opinion on various topics.
