New! Social Language-Learning Resource Section
Social language learning has become incredibly popular on the web as it has transcended language barriers in previously impossible ways.
For example, right now someone in Russia could be waiting to teach you Russian in exchange for your English skills. Or maybe your native language is Spanish and you want to learn Mandarin Chinese - there's someone out there for that as well! In fact, chances are there are hundreds or even thousands of potential language partners with whom you can achieve your collective language learning goals in a symbiotic fashion...
Visit the Social Foreign Language Learning Resource Section.

mo.neyflo.ws is all about how money flows on the www
Sun, 12/30/2007 - 22:38 — small world servers
mo.neyflo.ws or money flows is the newest site on the Small World Servers web server and the second in the unrev.org network. unrev.org will be working symbiotik-lee with Conscious Manifestations to make unrev.org's information available online instantly to people worldwide using a few tricks cmanifestations has up her sleeves. Well, for the time being... but soon they will be free for all and indeed people already have inklings and bits, but nobody has put it all together in one place and clearly outlined the technical web information architecture.
Returning to mo.neyflo.ws, a new direction is emerging and unreving has begun. This unreving requires affording a mobile lifestyle, more specifically a 37' Ranger sloop minimalized with renewable energy devices and methods. In order for this to happen money must be flowing.
mo.neyflo.ws is a new implementation of an evolving technique that compromises my online life for the last 5 years. Using evolving methods discovered working throughout the years and first put to use on specific projects to enhance their online exposure - mainly via direct links from search engines thanks to relevant keywords in the content and mark-up - I have discovered/received/stumbled upon ... somewhat of an Web Info Arc.
Combine this with a change in approach to the material the website treats: Instead of researching and reviewing mostly free (as in freedom and as in beer) information on various topics, I am blatantly researching and making available mainly commercial products and information for creating a home business, working on the web, making a living online... all that litejazz - combined with motivational, practical, "spiritual" and scientific information from varied sources via divers medias.
This latter aspect of the operation will, naturally, be the most enjoyable for most publishers, for it doesn't involve weeding through sketchy and seedy sales pitches ;) filled with testimonials and promises of a bright futuro en línea. But we'll trudge through the Scheiße and bring out the real deal for all to see, comment on and ultimately decide for themselves... after becoming better informed.
These projects take time to get started... but the search engine magic is instantaneous. I unpassword-protected the site less than 24 hours ago and look at this. Google has already indexed an article I published only a couple of hours ago! All thanks to Drupal and a few modules.
So now I am expressly releasing publicity info on the many sites in the Conscious Manifestations and unrev.org networks.
Also wanted to eek a shout to Conscious Reggae and Pulp Popcorn. Those are two friends joining on the boat trip to South America in a couple of months. But that is merging off topic...
