Dallas - Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Amazon’s #1 Best Selling Authors, Brian Conaway and Jose Feliciano describe the process whereby Conaway and 800 plus volunteers built the impossible: a 2,249 square foot house in less than three hours. Setting a world record, helping six charities, and disproving skeptics turned out to be their smallest feats. Achieving these goals is transforming how America is building… everything.
Two years of planning went into the 2 Hour House project with each construction step allotted a specific amount of time. The traditional concrete slab takes three days to cure, the quick cure formula, perfected by Transit Mix, was allocated 30 minutes but took just 22. Installing the garage door, a project that frequently takes a full day was allocated ten minutes and took only three. Revolutionary procedures in personnel management and building techniques enabled Conaway and his volunteers to build the entire home to code in two hours, fifty-two minutes, and twenty-nine seconds.
Teaching others time and process management, leadership skills, performance enhancement, and efficiency techniques forms the basis of 2 Hour House, the company started by Brian Conaway and Jose Feliciano. The ultimate vision-building resource for entrepreneurs and civic leaders, 2 Hour House provides tools and support to leaders building their own seemingly impossible visions. “We’ve provided leaders with the most powerful tool they need:” notes Jose, “a vision-building method anyone can follow that begins with the end in mind.”
The 2 Hour House phenomena is sweeping the nation, reigniting what has always been America’s greatest strength: a belief that anything is possible and innovation makes anything possible. The results: sensational change, one impossible at a time.
The Texas Department of Transportation now uses the quick-drying concrete formula to expedite highway repairs. Ruben Gonzales, inspired by the 2 Hour House video, is performing his own impossible by preparing to compete in four Winter Olympic Games, each in a different decade. Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup books, notes that the 2 Hour House experience demonstrates “what happens when a committed team of people pays no attention to what they have been told is impossible.” View a three minute clip of this incredible event at http://www.2hourhouse.com/.

Search Engine Bias - Search Engine Optimization
Due to search engines’ automated operations, people often
assume that search engines display search results neutrally
and without bias. However, this perception is mistaken.
Like any other media company, search engines affirmatively
control their users’ experiences, which has the consequence
of skewing search results (a phenomenon called “search
engine bias”).
Some commentators believe that search
engine bias is a defect requiring legislative correction.
Instead, this Essay argues that search engine bias is the
beneficial consequence of search engines optimizing content
for their users.
The Essay further argues that the most
problematic aspect of search engine bias, the “winner-takeall”
effect caused by top placement in search results, will be
mooted by emerging personalized search technology.

10 Search Engines You Don't Know About
"We've got some big news for you. Brace yourself. There are search options beyond Google--and we're not talking about Yahoo! and MSN. Vertical search is on the rise, and whether you're looking for business products, services or information, or a new place to advertise, vertical search sites can benefit your company. Market research firm Outsell predicts that the vertical search market will reach $1 billion by 2009. While Google gets around 65 percent of search traffic today, it doesn't mean it's always the best place for your search."

Are Search Ads a Waste of Money?
"NEW YORK New research by Microsoft suggests a big chunk of search ad spending is wasted because advertisers pay top dollar for high ad placements clicked by consumers who are en route to their sites anyway. Listings tied to such 'branded' keywords, typically a company's name or products, eat up about half of search budgets, Atlas estimates."
