Так. В Україні. Наївно було б вважати, що крупні фінансові установи, якими банки є, не звернуть увагу на модні тенденції Web 2.0. Віджет, або - шматок кода -  прекрасний засіб самопіара. Приватбанк це відчув і випустив віджет для SEO фріленсерів / вебмайстрів за допомогою якого, вони зможуть трохи підзаробити. Скільки, побачимо. Нижче віджет від Приватбанку.

There always is a maniac desire to insert tags here and there, and have tons of them in form of cloud. If they are inserted automatically is good. By hand - worse. If engine is Wordpress - it is possible to get plugin, but if you like to generate tags cloud from RSS, to make a widget? and possibility is not present? Try online Tags Cloud Generator.

You can 

* turn your favorite RSS feeds into a tag cloud widget ready for Netvibes, iGoogle, Dashboard, or Opera  
* generate a tag cloud based on a search query, using results from Yahoo, Google News, or Del.ico.us
* make a tags cloud from any text
* create even Tags Cloud of backlinks!


I was very impressed by these possibilities, and suspect practical SEO Freelancer will find useful applications for them in SEO world.

tobto: Who are you (your voice)?
L: I am an independent and romantically pragmatic damsel from the beautiful city of Kiev. (I did the second part in the school choir)

tobto: When did your passion for drawing revealed, and where was its origin?
L: When – when I was about three. There are documentary witnesses – books all covered with drawings, and also a heart-freezing story of the walls and doors drawn all over with my mom’s acid-pink “chemical” lipstick which was impossible to wash off.
As for the origin… the depths of my subconsciousness. Actually, in my childhood
I used to tell my peers a story about me being a distant great-great-granddaughter of Taras Grigorievich Schevchenko (we’ve got the same family name). So I paint and sometimes write poetry.

tobto: Do you have a favorite pencil? What's it like?
L:It's left somewhere in my childhood. A ground off 2cm Chinese pencil, carefully sharpened, in my school pencil box.

tobto:What did you mostly draw, when you were a child? Tanks, dolls, scribbles?
L: Princesses with wasp waists and horses with glass-like hoofs.

tobto:When did you decide that the painting could actually pay off? How did it happen?
L: Not all painting is worth something. To learn to earn the money in such an interesting and pleasant way, I applied for the Department of Graphic Design of the Kiev’s Technical School of Art and Industry. That was back in 1991.

tobto:Tell about your first professional “exam”. When you were like: YIPPEE! I’m a professional!
L: Recalling that work now makes me laugh! When I designed a photo album with hand-drawings for the Organization of the Sober Way of Life and received (not right away!) my first fee, I was walking down the street, autumn wind waving my hair, and I felt like I’m turning into
one of those beautiful graphic designers :)

tobto: Can you name the teacher you remember with respect?
L: Matseichuk Igor Nikolayevich – the teacher of painting and drawing, and Kirpa Viktor Ivanovich – the teacher of photography, lettering, calligraphy and composition.

tobto: Is the hand-drawing the foundation of arts?
L: Not of the abstract ones. But if a person can draw, that makes half the success.

tobto: The contemporary art of painting is…
L: Not the classic art :)

tobto: 3D drawings, the 3D technique itself arouse your admiration,..
L: If combined with a taste and skills for drawing – definitely.

tobto: Your technique of choice: pencil, tablet, mouse?
L: A pencil sketch, then processing in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.

tobto: Please, name your favorite artists.
L: Surikov, Ivanov, Yablonskaya, Klimt, Muha.

tobto:What’s the level of professionalism you have to obtain to “take to the open sea”? No advices.
L: Average, for starters. ‘Cause for every level there is an employer, and then the more you “sail”, the higher your level is.

tobto:What’s the impossible order for you?
L: 3D, interior or exterior design.

tobto: I take the opinions about my work with…
L: Attention.

tobto: How to develop a brand-name of a woman freelancer, a professional, in customers’ minds, so that they apply to you following not the good word but the brand?
L: Is there such a thing? I only try to do my best, and people keep applying.

tobto: Your roadmap: searching for work, husband, happiness. What’s a goal of a professional woman freelancer? Your development model.
L: It’s hard to cover everything at once. My main goal is to live for pleasure day by day, whatever this day might bring. If a husband comes along, there’s nothing more to dream about :)

tobto: How to deal with wicked customers?
L: Don’t appease their despotism and impudence. I reckon the customer and the performer are absolutely equal in rights and are bound to respect each other.

tobto: I would like to be (a pilot, an accountant, …)
L: A resident of Tibet or Indian jungle.

tobto: I want to be…
L: Calm and sound.

tobto: Your parting words. I’d like to say to all…
L: Live in the present, be yourself.

Ні, це не образа. Скоро це стане звичайною фразою для людей, котрі бажають отримати кредит. Zopa - це мікрокредитування в стилі Веб2, це новий проект, який може перевернути світ Web2.0 з ніг на голову. Все просто: веб2.0-фінансисти зрозуміли, що стартапи довго не існують, а делікатна співпраця на рівні окремого піпла може принести величезні прибутки, якщо все зроблено просто, доступно, зрозуміло, приємно і виглядає вірогідно. 8.49% - це величезний відсоток як для західного світу. Але не намагайтесь одержати кредит на Бентлі, або навіть на Pajero. Zopa  - це сфера мікрокредитування, це лише особиста позика і лише вам особисто. 

Якщо виникає питання: як цей фінансовий механізм працює - звертайтесь на уолстріт. Такий проект, щоб з&acute;явитись, мав би отримати вагоме підгрунтя і підтримку великих хлопців, а вони, зрозуміло, не дуже охоче віддають гроші і не тремтять від бажання стати популярними. Так що, ідіть ви в Zopa! Та хай вам щастить!</description><pubDate>Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:54:36 +0000</pubDate><link>http://tobto.org/seo-freelancer-ukrainian-blog/zopa/</link><guid>http://tobto.org/seo-freelancer-ukrainian-blog/zopa/</guid></item><item><title>Korean 5G</title><description>The Korean government announced that the nation will not only work on 4G but also on 5G in an effort to stay at the head of the race in the global telecom market.</description><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 00:44:28 +0000</pubDate><link>http://tobto.org/news/korean-5g/</link><guid>http://tobto.org/news/korean-5g/</guid></item></channel></rss>
