Money Making Websites





Another day, another honking big funding for another online start-up (and yet another broken embargo too!).


It’s like Groundhog Day in Silicon Valley as usual.


Today, Cambridge, Mass.-based HubSpot wins tech’s version of the lottery, grabbing $32 million from Sequoia Capital, Google Ventures and also Salesforce.com.


It is unclear what the valuation for HubSpot is now, although it is likely high given it has raised $65 million now.


HubSpot makes marketing software for businesses, who use it to find prospects and generate leads, along with tools to analyze the process. It claims it has “4,000 customers, over 50 percent market share, five million leads managed, and 70 million page views tracked monthly.”


The Series D financing included HubSpot’s existing venture investors–General Catalyst Partners, Matrix Partners, and Scale Venture Partners–and part of it will be used to cash out existing shareholders. In previous rounds, the start-up has raised $33 million.


Here is the official press release:


Sequoia, Google Ventures, and Salesforce.com Invest $32 Million in HubSpot

Marketing Software Company Attracts New Strategic Investors


CAMBRIDGE, MA–(Marketwire – March 8, 2011)–Today, for the first time ever, Sequoia Capital, Google Ventures and Salesforce.com all invested together in one company, providing HubSpot with a Series D round of financing through a $32 million investment. HubSpot provides all-in-one marketing software used by over 4,000 businesses to get found by more prospects, convert them into leads and sales, and analyze the entire marketing process.


“The fundamental way that people shop, learn, and buy has changed radically in the last few years. HubSpot helps transform the way businesses market from outbound marketing (cold calls, email blasts, and direct mail) to inbound marketing (Google, blogs, social media, mobile, etc.),” said Brian Halligan, co-founder and CEO of HubSpot.


Sequoia Capital has a long history of partnering with founders to help them build long-term, multi-billion dollar companies, including Google, LinkedIn, AdMob, YouTube, Yahoo!, Apple, and Oracle. “We back companies that are transforming their industries,” said Jim Goetz, General Partner at Sequoia Capital. “HubSpot is the emerging category leader in the SaaS marketing sector. Their customer base exceeds that of all the other relevant marketing software companies combined, including Eloqua, Marketo, Genius, and Manticore.”


“Today, every company needs to succeed in search, social, sales, and marketing–I can’t think of a more powerful trifecta than Google, Salesforce.com, and HubSpot. With 4,000 customers, HubSpot is already a clear marketing leader–now, with this new infusion of capital and recognition by Google’s venture arm and Salesforce.com, HubSpot has a great opportunity to separate itself from the pack and become the leading marketing platform in the small and medium business space,” said Brent Leary, co-founder of CRM Essentials.


Google Ventures Partner, Rich Miner (formerly co-founder of Android) said, “We agree with HubSpot’s belief that search engines, social media, and mobile devices have fundamentally changed how businesses should market themselves. We’re thrilled to support their efforts to help thousands of small and medium businesses reach potential customers.”


Dharmesh Shah, co-founder and CTO of HubSpot commented, “We founded the company based on a simple premise: Businesses want an easy-to-use, complete and integrated marketing platform that helps them get more leads and customers. We plan to use this new capital to further invest in this ambitious vision and further our existing lead in the marketing software category.”

I read an interesting article this morning that suggested Apple would change its mind and put Adobe’s Flash technology on its iOS devices within a year. I don’t think that’s going to happen.


In an open letter to users, Apple CEO Steve Jobs gave several reasons why he didn’t want Flash on the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. They are: Flash isn’t open; the full web; reliability, security and performance; battery life; and touch.


Adobe began shipping Flash Player 10.1 for Mobile last June, but even Laptop magazine admitted that “Steve Jobs was right,” and that “Adobe’s offering seems like it’s too little, too late.” Granted, that report was from six months ago, but it still doesn’t bode well for the technology.


There is no doubt that Adobe is making advances with Flash on mobile devices, but I don’t believe future changes will be enough to get Apple to adopt the technology.


Jobs has been very clear that Apple supports HTML5, an open technology that is controlled by a standards committee, not one company. By building support for that technology into Webkit, Apple is ensuring that mobile Web browsers will be able to access what we’ve come to know as the “full web.”


Webkit is used by Google, Palm, Nokia and RIM, so it has a pretty solid base.


One of the arguments often bantered about when the discussion of the “full Web” comes up is video. There is no doubt that Flash made huge strides over the years in having sites like YouTube encode their videos in Flash. But that’s for the desktop.


As Jobs points out, almost all of this video is also available in H.264 format (a format Flash also supports), so it’s viewable on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.


“Add to this video from Vimeo, Netflix, Facebook, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, NPR, Time, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, People, National Geographic, and many, many others. iPhone, iPod and iPad users aren’t missing much video,” wrote Jobs.


You may ask why other companies adopted Flash for their mobile devices when Apple won’t. That’s easy, they are looking for something they have that Apple doesn’t. Considering how hard it is for tablet makers to compete with Apple, any perceived advantage will work.


I’m not an Adobe hater—I know quite a few people that work at Adobe and I think they’ve done some amazing things over the years. Flash for mobile devices isn’t one of them.


Chris Dawson said he gives “Apple a year until they cave [and adopt Flash]. Android tablets will just be too cool and too useful for both entertainment and enterprise applications if they don’t.”


I have been using my iPhone for years and my iPad for one year. I honestly can’t remember the last time I went to a Web site that wouldn’t load because I didn’t have Flash installed. I can load videos from YouTube and a host of other sites too, no problem.


Apple has sold more than 160 million iOS devices and there are no screaming, angry hordes of users breaking down the doors at 1 Infinite Loop demanding Flash on their devices.


In order for Apple to change its mind and adopt Flash, the technology has to be proven to be indispensable and that it will benefit its users. Apple has proven just the opposite is true.


Editor’s Note: Jim Dalrymple has been writing about Apple for more than 15 years. You can follow him on Twitter @jdalrymple and on his Web site at The Loop.

What’s affecting me, my clients and other small-business owners this week.


THE QUAKE IN JAPAN, A GOOFBALL IN VENEZUELA Japanese earthquake damage is estimated at $310 billion and could be the costliest natural disaster ever. Japanese exports suffer. Kate Rogers of Fox revisits how to protect your business from catastrophe. “Small-business owners can determine if they should be seeking disaster coverage by weighing their investment in the business itself, among other factors. If the business is the sole form of income, the risk is much greater than if it is a hobby or part-time project.” Elsewhere around the world, the war industry gets a boost in Libya. And Hugo Chávez of Venezuela says capitalism may have destroyed life on Mars.


REAL ESTATE FALLS, JOBS RISE Mark Thoma says commodity prices are increasing because of world demand. A small-business owner in Georgia is trying not to pass on the cost of high gas prices. Detroit’s population declines 25 percent. Existing-home sales fall to the lowest on record. Meredith Whitney, an investment adviser, says, “Unless the government comes out with a 50-year mortgage, this market is in trouble longer term.” Gallup’s job-creation index is the highest since September 2008. Durable goods orders fall.


ANNE HATHAWAY AND WARREN BUFFETT The Fed earns $79 billion and predicts that the recovery is taking hold. Nonetheless, one of its officials warns that the United States is approaching insolvency. Meanwhile, Warren E. Buffett predicts growth but some think his company’s stock is buoyed by Anne Hathaway. Household balances sheets continue to improve. Scott Grannis says “the Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook Survey came in very strong. It hasn’t been this strong since the economic boom times of the early 1980s. It’s very difficult to ignore the mounting evidence of a strong economic recovery.” Architect billings increased slightly in February.


DEFICIT THRILLS The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget is thrilled to see 64 senators calling for comprehensive deficit reduction. But Stan Collender, a budget expert, isn’t thrilled at all: “Does a letter that is so vanilla that it could have been written at any time over the past 40 years really indicate any movement on the current budget debate?” James Pethokoukis of Reuters says he thinks President Obama’s budget is wildly dangerous.


A NEW DEFINITION OF SMALL BUSINESS Timothy F. Geithner says that American small businesses need greater access to capital to spur innovation. The Small Business Administration, facing even more cuts, is for the first time in more than 25  years proposing to change the way it defines small businesses. JPMorgan Chase says it will cease its debit card rewards program because of new legislation that would restrict fees. Missouri gets $27 million in incentives for small-business growth. The Small Business Savings Account Act makes its way through Congress.


TAKING CREDIT The health care legislation celebrates its first anniversary and Ezra Klein defends it by saying, “Is it a perfect piece of legislation? Not even close. Will everything work as expected? Almost certainly not. But for all its flaws, it’s a good law. And it’s worth trying.” Many small businesses are still not taking advantage of the health care tax credit.


TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES A Google project manager pitches cloud computing: “Web-based software is much less costly for buyers than traditional software, and programmers can be so much more innovative, that it’s worthwhile for an entrepreneur to say, O.K., let’s start from scratch.” Paul Mah, an information technology expert, gives us eight reasons to upgrade to Internet Explorer 9. Firefox 4 is released. Microsoft jumps to second in video search and introduces a new PC tool for small business. Netflix suffers an outage. BlackBerry’s tablet is scheduled to arrive in April. AT&T buys T-Mobile but not for the reason you think. And boy. has computer technology come a long way in 10 years.


THE GROWING APPS MARKET Information Week reports that 38 percent of small- and medium-size businesses depend on mobile apps. Amazon introduces an Android app store, and Apple is not pleased. Minda Zetlin of Inc. asks if you should make a tablet app for your business: “The answer is likely a yes if one, your product or service is one where having tablet access could benefit customers; and two, your customers are the type who use tablets.” Just in time: a flood of royal wedding apps.


SPEAKING OF THE BIG WEDDING General Electric releases a much-needed William and Kate refrigerator. Jack Daniels introduces a new product — perhaps to help us forget the royal wedding. Danny Wong gives us three winning ideas to consider. A dating site features a new single man every day. Score plans an e-business learning Web site for small business. Small Business Television is rebranding itself and has introduced a new Web site. Small Business Opportunities magazine is doing the same. A small business introduces its first electric car. Sales of e-books have doubled. The group buying industry is projected to grow to $2.7 billion this year.


TWITTER’S TAX BREAKS Casey Hibbard explains how one company used social media to make $300,000 in a weekend. Robert Scoble discovers the future of work: “Just when we thought we figured out the new ’social enterprise’ market along comes Convofy.” Twitter shows San Francisco’s businesses how to save a bundle on taxes. A one-legged wrestler shows us how to become a national champ.


IT’S GOOD TO BE GREEN A woman in Canada gets a standing ovation for being green. The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce holds its green marketing event on Wednesday. The Clinton Global Initiative holds its university conference this week with a focus on entrepreneurship and a live webcast.


ADVICE FOR SXSW: HAND OUT PILLOWS The Global Entrepreneurship Congress meets in Shanghai this week. April 2 is International Pillow Fight Day. The South By Southwest conference: as seen from a bunch of social media video bloggers — which is yet another reason I won’t attend next year. American Airlines offers a big promo for California business travelers. John Jantsch wants to know the worst business advice you ever received. A third-base coach gives life advice.


SEARCHING FOR HELP WITH SEARCH An American Express survey finds that more than half of small-business owners say they need help with search-engine marketing. A video about why it’s not important to go viral goes viral. Dharmesh Shah shares a few low-cost advertising ideas for start-ups and cautions readers to “think of advertising not as a long-term traffic strategy but as a testing tool to improve your Web site and find out more about your ideal visitor.” An advertising blog discusses how to develop a relationship with the media. Lucy Thornton comes up with a few good marketing themes for April.


A 100-MILLION-MEMBER NETWORK LinkedIn officially reaches 100 million members. Seems like a good time to read the co-founder’s 10 rules for entrepreneurial success.


TRIED TALKING? Whitson Gordon of Lifehacker gives us his top 10 tricks for working while on the go. Example: “Whether it’s that old, dead iPod or the smartphone you’re already carrying with you, you probably have gigs of unused storage lying around waiting to be filled with portable apps, files and other digital travel necessities.” Melanie Brooks of Workawesome.com explains why she uses a leather day planner instead of a smartphone. Greg Schinkel warns against hiding behind our keyboards: “Before you hit ‘reply to all’ and send back a zinger to someone who maligned you, stop and go talk to the person.”


THIS WEEK’S AWARDS


BEST WAY TO GET YOUR CUSTOMERS TO LOVE YOU Ben Yoskovitz talks about the benefits of delighting your customers: “The rewards are immense. Loyal, rabid fans tweet shamelessly about how incredible you are, how valuable your Web application is and how successful your start-up will be.”


BEST WAY TO MARKET WITHOUT A BUDGET Shisha Dublin-Green explains how to market without a marketing budget: “Form an alliance: if you have a hair salon that’s mostly frequented by women with young children and elderly women, you can offer a service whereby you arrange to do their grocery shopping whilst they’re in the salon. You may decide to form an alliance with a local reputable grocer or delivery service to provide this for your customers. This could also be a way to reach out to new customers via your local grocer.”


BEST ADVICE FOR BOOTSTRAPPERS The Smart Bear says that the things money cannot buy are still the most valuable things: “Show proof of your ability to master the things money cannot buy — your ability to learn, change and improve.”


THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: How do you bring in customers without spending a lot? We do free webinars every month.

managing personal finances


There are many ways to manage your finances online, but many of them handle only the paying of run-of-the-mill bills. A site starting in beta-test mode on Monday, called Manilla, is aiming for something broader.


Manilla, which is owned by the publishing company Hearst, wants to help people organize four categories of accounts: household bills, like phone and cable; magazine subscriptions; air travel rewards programs; and financial bills like mortgages and credit cards. Once users sign up for Manilla they can link their personal accounts to the service and are supplied with a simple and clean interface to manage them.


Jessica Insalaco, an executive vice president at Manilla, said people the company surveyed said they were constantly baffled by the bills, subscriptions and other programs they have to manage. People also feel overwhelmed by the piles of paper bills they face on a daily basis, she said.


I tested Manilla ahead of its introduction and found that the process of linking and managing a bill was simple. I linked my AT&T phone bill to the service and it took only a few seconds to hook up the two sites and begin managing my account from Manilla.


Manilla isn’t only trying to help people organize their household finances. The company is teaming with businesses, too, hoping to offer a less expensive alternative to paper bills.


According to the United States Postal Service’s 2010 Annual Report, businesses in the United States send 48 billion account notices, statements and bills to customers each year. That’s a lot of paper that ultimately ends up in garbage dumps and paper shredders.


“Right now, some companies can spend up to 75 cents on a single paper bill,” Ms. Insalaco said. “We want to work with these major companies to send us the bill, reducing the cost of the paper version, and we will act as the middleman to the consumer.”


To make this process even more seamless, Manilla plans to create “premier partnerships” with some companies. Manilla said in a company blog post that it was opening with Comcast as its first premier partner, where cable customers who sign up for Manilla will no longer receive a paper bill, but will instead be billed directly through Manilla.


The company plans to add several premier partners when it has its full introduction in coming months.

Most roofing contractors offer free consultations. This is especially important, because it gives them an opportunity to evaluate what your roof requirements, also it provides you with a chance to evaluate all of them. As with all of companies, believe in instincts about the people a person let up onto your roofing. No issue exactly how good the contractor's status or even suggestion, he or she ought to begin by showing you with a business greeting card. If the service provider arrives searching and speaking within an less than professional manner, chances are that the task he's going to do will also be less than professional. This is not to say that you ought to expect companies to arrive within suits. They will be hiking on your roofing, so the majority of is going to be dressed in jeans as well as work boots or sneakers. If the service provider seems to be interested in speaking on their cell phone during your homes roof than he is in evaluating your roof's requirements, that may be another indication that he's not really the one for the job.

Anticipate the contractor is going to be rising in your roof. Actually, any kind of service provider who does not want to go up in your roofing to evaluate the problem should be instantly reduced.

Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have ordered the executions of seven ethnic minority Uyghur men convicted of "violent" crimes, official media said on Wednesday.

 

The death sentences were handed down by the Supreme People's Court in recent days, according to state media in the regional capital, Urumqi.

 

The men were accused in connection with three separate attacks late last year in the Silk Road city of Kashgar, according to the news website Urumqi Online.

 

According to another website, the Xinjiang-based Tianshan news site, Aimaiti Tuheti, Yiming Dawuti, and unnamed "others" killed a security guard at a pedestrian mall as part of a failed Aug. 7 robbery attempt.

 

In a separate incident on Oct. 12, it said, Nuermaimaiti Aobulikasimu and 11 others broke into a house, bound and killed the couple living in it, and took their possessions.

 

It said the group also broke into the homes of two brothers, robbed them, and killed six people in a Nov. 11 attack in Kashgar.

 

The report gave no information about the victims or the schedule for the executions.

 

Three of the men were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, a sentence that is normally commuted to life imprisonment in China's judicial system.

 

They were convicted of deliberate homicide and armed robbery by the Kashgar Intermediate People's Court in the first instance.

 

'Strike hard' campaign

 

A Han Chinese resident of Urumqi surnamed Yang said a reference to "terrorism" in official news reports on the case showed that it was being politicized by the authorities, who have launched a series of "strike hard" campaigns in Xinjiang following deadly ethnic violence in July 2009.

 

"There is an implied political meaning; that they were somehow engaged in separatist activities or ethnic divisions," said Yang.

 

Exile Uyghur groups said the trials had been conducted behind closed doors, with scant opportunity for public scrutiny.

 

"The entire process against these men, from the trial through to the judgment, was opaque," said Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress.

 

"There was also very little reasonable evidence to convict them on a legal basis, because all the evidence came from one side of the case," he said.

 

"We strongly condemn the Chinese government for continuing to pursue their policies of ethnic division," said Raxit.

 

"We are also strongly opposed to the death penalty in this case."

 

Earlier cases

 

Last month, the Supreme Court sentenced four Uyghurs to death for alleged involvement in an Aug. 19 bomb attack in Xinjiang’s western Aksu city.

 

The World Uyghur Congress pointed to concerns over lack of transparency in those cases too.

 

The Aksu blast left eight people dead, including two of the bombers, and 15 wounded after a man riding a three-wheeled vehicle threw explosives at a group of uniformed patrolmen. Four Uyghurs were arrested shortly after the attack.

 

State media characterized the cases as acts of terrorism and unrelated to longstanding ethnic tensions between Uyghurs and Han Chinese in the region.

 

Exiled Uyghur dissident Rebiya Kadeer has warned that attacks like those in Aksu will continue to occur until Beijing addresses the underlying source of tension in the region.

 

Millions of Uyghurs—a distinct, Turkic minority who are predominantly Muslim—populate Central Asia and Xinjiang.

 

Uyghurs say they have long suffered ethnic discrimination, oppressive religious controls, and continued poverty and joblessness despite China's ambitious plans to develop its vast northwestern frontier.

 

Those frustrations erupted in July 2009 in deadly riots that left nearly 200 people dead, by the Chinese government's tally.

 

At least 26 people, mostly Uyghurs, were sentenced to death in the aftermath of the riots, many of whom have been executed, according to state media.

 

China is believed to execute more people each year than the rest of the world’s countries combined, although the government does not publish official figures.

 

Rights groups say Beijing may execute as many as several thousand prisoners annually.

 

Chinese authorities blame Uyghur separatists for a series of deadly attacks in recent years and accuse one group in particular of maintaining ties to the al-Qaeda terrorist network.

 

New training scheme

 

China on Wednesday also announced a training scheme which places ethnic minority graduates from Xinjiang in work elsewhere in China.

 

Governments of the destination cities will spend 450 million yuan (U.S.$ 69 million) for the program, while Xinjiang will spend 400 million yuan (U.S.$ 61 million), the official Xinhua news agency reported.

 

The program targets some 60,000 jobless college graduates in Xinjiang, around 80 percent of whom are from ethnic minorities, and 60 percent of whom are women.

 

However, some commentators see the move as an attempt to assimilate non-Han Chinese into mainstream Chinese culture.

 

"From the point of view of ethnic minorities, the graduate work scheme is really taking the cream of youth from the minorities and using them to 'further cultural development,'" wrote one ethnic minority user on a popular microblogging service.

 

"In fact, the culture that is being advanced is Han culture, and this group of young people will have been totally brainwashed," the microblog update said.

 

An Urumqi resident surnamed Li agreed.

 

"They have run senior high school schemes like this before during the past few years," he said.

 

"Whether it's high-schoolers or graduate training programs, these are measures that are aimed at thought control and brainwashing, and the 'Partification' of their education," he said.

Most lighting associated with Chinese federal government pressure are the cables pointing in order to Chinese frustration, or even the specter of Chinese ire, within the release of Uyghur detainees within Guantánamo to third nations. The December 29, 2008 cable relates how Chinese language Assistant Foreign Reverend Liu Jieyi fulfilled with the U.S. Ambassador to China to voice Beijing's powerful competitors of launch to any nation apart from The far east, and that if the U.Utes. did certainly accede to this ask for it would "avoid injury to bilateral relationships and also to co-operation ‘in essential areas'". Furthermore, the Feb '09 cable television describes how the Chinese language Ambassador in order to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded as the feasible discharge of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees because "an unfavorable behave toward us" and a "slap in the face". That the Ough.S. government stood firm in not liberating the detainees in order to China demonstrates the extent from the politicized character of the Chinese language judicial program. Genuine concerns over terrorism tend to be easy to understand, however in the U.S. government's view the detainees would most likely encounter do-it-yourself torture as well as delivery if they returned in order to The far east

Chinese language government stress in regard to the actual Uyghur Guantánamo detainees was not only applied to the actual Ough.Utes. federal government, but additionally to New Zealand and a number of Western government authorities which were considering resettlement. Albania, Germany as well as Finland, in addition to Eu member states just about all have the symptoms of borne the actual brunt associated with Chinese language federal government disappointment. In the case of Indonesia, that was initially willing to think about 2 Uyghurs upon purely relief grounds, Uyghur Guantánamo instances were much less better than other detainees because of the negative effects taking Uyghurs would have on relationships with The far east. The Might Eight, '09 cable applies how "German Ambassador Erina Schaefer reported that Germany had informed China of the Ough.S. ask for to accept a few Uighur detainees held from Guantánamo and had already been consequently warned by China of ‘a large load upon bilateral relations' if Germany were to simply accept any kind of detainees".

The actual diplomatic cables also discuss the unrest in Urumchi, the regional capital, within July 2009. The This summer Thirteen, '09 cable television talking about bulk incidents within China states:

"Ethnic riots like those in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 as well as in Tibet within 03 of 2008 differ markedly within origin as well as character through bulk occurrences, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized in order to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX. Each present severe problems for the actual Celebration, XXXXXXXXXXXX said, but the Celebration management wouldn't wait to spread out fire on Uighurs or Tibetans if they deemed this essential to recover purchase. Bulk incidents pose another kind of threat, he explained, since the leadership is actually ‘afraid' to fireplace upon Han rioters with regard to fear of sparking huge public outrage that would turn against the Celebration."

This is a relaxing opinion, especially when 1 views the evidence presented in two reviews launched this season by the Uyghur Individual Privileges Task (UHRP) and Amnesty Worldwide which detail eyewitness accounts of the utilization of lethal live fire towards Uyghur protestors within July '09. In addition, the actual declaration that fireplace would not be deployed against Han Chinese language protestors offers resonances for the different approach used through Chinese security causes within Urumchi in order to Han Chinese language protests in September '09. During those protests, then Celebration Secretary, Wang Lequan, addressed protesters, who experienced required he inform them about federal government responses in order to security issues. An identical ask for to satisfy with the Party Secretary through Uyghur protesters in This summer was not fulfilled.

The actual wider consequences from the unrest additionally saw a short dialogue about the effect it might possess on Iran-China relationships, and on relations along with Australia after World Uyghur Our elected representatives President, Microsoft. Rebiya Kadeer, spoke at the Nationwide Push Club in Canberra within July '09. In the latter situation, the Chinese government "privately warn[ed] a major Aussie financial institution which vendors the National Press Club to make use of its impact to bar a Kadeer talk there".

The U . s . States' issues about the scenario in the Uyghur area also come through within the cables. In a dialogue upon policy direction in Tibet, Ough.Utes. authorities clarify that it'll end up being impossible for Chinese language leaders to adopt the softer collection "if they look like they are doing so below worldwide pressure". The cable television out dated 04 16, 2008, one month following the outbreak associated with unrest within Tibetan regions, also relayed the actual observation "that domestic balance remains the leadership's main concern above all else, which means there will ‘almost surely' be no relaxation of the current hard collection on Tibet or in places like Xinjiang." The info contained in the cable television also sheds light about the severe level of sensitivity with which china government views territorial integrity, and the feasible spill more than of unrest from Tibet.

The chance of methods to stress within Tibet as well as Xinjiang as a result of municipal culture are discussed inside a February Twenty-four, 2008 cable television. While suggesting that China's financial achievement will increase it's resistance to democratic change, the cable additionally talks about how Chinese frontrunners begin to see the effectiveness associated with "a limited expansion of municipal culture, such as enhancements in the rule associated with law and a more powerful part for approved religions, NGOs, non profit organizations and other stars within places which bring about social balance and do not problem Communist Party guideline." This is a significant change in considering, that has seen U.S. officials market the notion that Chinese language economic development, and financial relationships with The far east will bring about a steadily democratic culture; however, much more belief appears to be placed in the grassroots motion compared to one which starts from the top levels of the Chinese government. Nonetheless, the cable proves which "[i]n places for example Tibet as well as Xinjiang, driving a car associated with separatism results in tighter restrictions about the development of municipal society." This approach is viewed as counter-productive by the recognized, who shows that the Ough.S. government "should continue to express...serious concerns more than Beijing's individual privileges record and appeal to China's growing consciousness which higher respect for human rights, religious freedom and also the rule associated with regulation assists to advertise the development and sociable balance that The far east seeks as well as to enhance China's worldwide picture." This type of technique would take substantial diplomatic skills thinking about "China's paranoid fear the Usa privately encourages routine alter as well as ‘separatists' in Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

The cables offer understanding of the daily company associated with diplomacy that's hardly ever afforded to the general public, which is fascinating to note the quantity of work done nowadays on Uyghur issues. The significance of the actual role of the United States as a monitor of Uyghur human privileges problems in private conversations is created clear, and contrasts with its sensible open public stance. The staff of the Uyghur Human Rights Task is comfortable with the pressure the Chinese government exerts upon Uyghur activists; nevertheless, the facts associated with Chinese federal government stress on it's counterparts is actually illustrative from the degree which Chinese authorities make an effort to suppress contradictory narratives. With more revelations to come from Wikileaks, concerns more than Uyghurs might not grab the headlines, however the cables have shed new gentle about the documentation of individual privileges problems in the Uyghur region.

Portraits of Uyghur People

In the middle of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the north-western part of China, the land of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is a least populated land whereas it covers close to a sixth with the nation's territory. Getting resisted while in hundreds of years the chinese domination, Xinjiang, or Old Eastern Turkestan, fell into within the Chinese Han control in 1949. From then, its population is mostly Uyghur People and Turkish - speaking System.

Muslim primarily, the Uyghur people have a strong religious identification that, in particular, allowed them to maintain a solid big difference towards the Chinese invader. Definitely, the Uyghur Kingdom of Mongolia knew a amazing civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

While in their history, the Uyghur People successively adopted Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before finally changing to Islam when the Arab conquerors beat the Chinese in year 751 BC., therefore beginning the way to the Islamization of the complete Central Asia.


Under the effect of the religions which they adopted, Uyghur People taken successively, and at times in a competing way, a large number of written forms (turco-runic, brahmi, tokharien, soghdien) before developing their own unique graphic system.

The entrance of Islam was a great modification mainly because it was accompanied by the absorption of the Uyghur land in the enormous Turkic and Islamic Empire. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan slowly replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used presently.


If their own writing, their own language and their religion mark a real big difference with the culture of Chinese Han, the Uyghurs also are different from their characteristic, so characteristic of Central Asia's people. A matt skin, eyes representing a whole pallet of colors, from black to deep blue, features going out to the Mongolian, Turkish or Uzbek origins of these men and these women.

For a few years, China has integrated the proper identity of these remote people, though they represent only nine million people - a trifle for this specific great area. So, Uyghur people are now part of the fifty six racial minority groups having been well known in an official way by China.


This law will allow these people a few rights in a land where their big difference is very often repressed. Therefore, Uyghur people escape the "single child policy" and their language is accepted as the second official language in Xinjiang.


The integration of the Uyghur people and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, seems really illusory. The presence of all-natural resources in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and its area with locations recognised as sensitive, strongly encouraged the government to speed up the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the higher responsibility jobs.


In response to this true will to assimilate the Uyghur people into the Chinese culture, an independent party like East Turkistan Islamic Movement(ETIM) was born in the early 1990.

Asserting more flexibility, but in particular the acceptance of their true identity, this movement was severely repressed by the power authorities in area Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The situations of September 11, 2001, were the perfect occasion for the Chinese government to justify true reprisals: they declared the "Uyghur freedom fighters" as dangerous terrorists linked to Al Quaida because of their Muslim origins and their proximity with Pakistan and Afghanistan... However, the terrible repression which followed did not calm down the anger. The Uyghur peoples population continues today to proudly maintain their identity and their culture , although they become a minority on their own land.

Mainstream media and major film distributors don’t speak “Crowd.” They just don’t seem to get it.


Crowd sourcing and crowd funding, by nature are not mainstream and Netizens happily communicate in their own language and with their own peeps.



Two filmmakers, Karl-Martin Pold and Sarah Noeringberg, are soliciting donations at StartNext online for their documentary, A Man Called Spencer; about the famous Italian actor, Bud Spencer, who is most known for his spaghetti westerns.


When the Italian press got wind of it, one of the newspapers released a misguided story claiming that Spencer was poor and was trying to raise money to support himself. Really?


In the cafe culture of creatives around the world who are familiar with the subject and meaning of crowd sourcing and its counterpart, crowd funding, the subject is still hot. They understand it and are embracing it by the thousands.


To clarify for those who may not yet have entered this democratized medium, crowd sourcing is a way to engage the talented citizens of the Internet in the creative aspects or other elements of a project, i.e., the script, music, effects shots, titles, trailers, etc.


A subset of crowd sourcing is crowd funding, a platform that enables filmmakers or other creatives to solicit monetary donations for their projects.


Perhaps one of the earliest films to appear online for free download was Star Wreck, released in 1997. It was 45 minutes long and message boards caught on fire. The phenomenon had begun.




The same team released one of the first collaborative films to crossover into the mainstream press and become well known, Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning. It was launched in 2000 by maverick filmmakers (five students and several unemployed friends from Tampere) with little money, lots of idealism and their own home computers.


The blue screen used behind many of the scenes of the film, was a piece of linoleum painted with blue chroma key paint and their equipment may not have been the most exotic, but they worked together to make their movie and found themselves in the post production process by 2004, much of which was completed in their homes. (This is a picture of creator and producer Samuli Torssonen’s kitchen that housed the render farm.)


Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning was released online on October 1, 2005, and within four days had over 400,000 downloads. It was subsequently shown on TV in Finland, Sweden and Norway and the DVD came out in the UK on April 4, 2009.

YouTube is still trying to figure out how to link up with Hollywood. Maybe Alex Carloss will help.


Until last week, Carloss was head of digital distribution at Viacom’s Paramount. Now he’s a Google employee, working on YouTube’s content acquisition team. [UPDATE: Readers tell me Carloss left Paramount last fall.]


He’ll work with Robert Kyncl, the Netflix veteran Google hired last year to figure out its strategy for working with Hollywood and other professional content-makers, which have yet to give the giant site all the video it wants.


A Google rep confirmed the hire; I’ve asked Paramount about their plans to replace Carloss, who had been at the company for six years. He’d previously worked at MGM, RealNetworks, Electronic Arts, Warner Bros, and Disney.


After Google brought Kyncl on last fall, I assumed he would follow the script he’d used at Netflix, and start writing huge checks to the studios in order to get their movies and TV shows on the site. But while Google did buy the digital rights for the Miramax catalog last fall–I’m told the company paid out about $100 million for that deal–so far that seems to be an outlier.


Google/YouTube/Kyncl have been reaching out to content-makers in other ways, though. As New York magazine reported last month, the site has been talking to Hollywood talent about creating cable tv-style “channels” for the site. The basic idea: Famous people would help create and curate content for the site, and share ad revenue.


While that doesn’t sound nearly as sexy as, say, locking up the Warner Bros. catalog for a YouTube exclusive, there is a logic there. YouTube is already striking up partnerships with lots of people you’ve previously never heard of, and making mini-stars out of several of them. And the main reason the company is set to buy Next New Networks is that it likes some of that startup’s acumen in building out new video franchises.


And while Google has denied a report that it was looking to create a Netflix-style streaming service in the U.K., I wouldn’t be surprised if it did spend money to procure content outside the U.S.. It’s already begun making noises about buying the rights to American sports leagues for streaming deals in other countries–the Web video market outside the U.S. isn’t nearly as established, or as expensive, as it’s become in this country.
