If you don't already have a favorite text editor -- or even if you do -- TEA is worth a look. Code-writers and word-writers alike will find things to admire in TEA, and it's very suitable for use on low-powered notebooks and netbooks. However, TEA's smoothness is marred by a few missing assets.

The TEA Text Editor is a very handy writing tool that delivers a much different user interface. For most computer users cranking out words or program code for digital consumption, text editors are often preferable to feature-bloated word processors. TEA pours on features yet keeps from getting too steamy.

If you have tried very basic text editors such as Leafpad or gEdit, the TEA text Editor will greatly surprise you. If you are familiar with the Geany Text Editor, you will find TEA a very similar writing tool.

TEA is an acronym for Text Editor of the Atomic era. It is very suitable for use on low-powered notebooks and netbooks. It is also a great choice for Linux distros that play in RAM rather than spread out in disk storage. TEA is compact, configurable and feature-rich, and it consumes about 500KB of memory. It has markup support for LaTeX, DocBook, Wikipedia, and XML/HTML/XHTML.

Code writers will appreciate TEA's extensive syntax highlight for C, C++, Bash script, BASIC, C#, D, Fortran, Java, LilyPond, Lout, Lua, NASM, NSIS, Pascal, Perl, PHP, PO (gettext), Seed7, Vala and Verilog. This programming code support and other related tools stay out of your way if you do not need it.

Word crunchers will revel in TEA's tabbed layout. This maintains any number of open files. The built-in file manager makes locating and loading files from within the editor fast and convenient. The spellchecker and editing features provide all that word-smithing requires.

SearchMarketMe welcomed two new Agency Owners this week to its growing network of internet marketing business opportunity owners, as Syed Tirmizi and Mohsin Minhas, both of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, contracted with SearchMarketMe for training and support in opening and operating their internet marketing agency. They become the 109th and 110th Agency Owners in the SearchMarketMe Network, respectively.

Seattle, Washington and Calgary, Alberta (PRWEB) March 21, 2012

"We could see what is happening in the internet marketing industry, we could see the potential, and we began investigating possibilities," said Tirmizi, who together with Minhas, carefully researched the SearchMarketMe business opportunity over a period of seven months, speaking with five different Agency Owners within the SearchMarketMe Agency Owner Network.

"We like the business model of SearchMarketMe," said Tirmizi. "It will give us the training, support and tools to help us build the internet marketing agency we want."

"Syed and Mohsin have been studying, researching and preparing for this for quite some time," said SearchMarketMe's President, Boyd Karren. "We're pleased that their careful research led to contracting with us for training and support as they open their internet marketing agency. It's no smal thing to be a trusted partner in helping someone achieve business ownership goals."

Tirmizi and Minhas have already built inroads into internet marketing, having recently launched an online directory for local businesses within Calgary's growing community of Southern Asians.

"We started with the directory, and will offer internet marketing services to all kinds of businesses throughout Western Canada," said Tirmizi.

"Syed and Mohsin have a unique opportunity for their internet marketing agency," said Karren. "The online directory they launched recently has already helped position themselves as online experts within the Southern Asian community in and around Calgary, and as entrepreneurs, they'll likely have additional opportunities present themselves."

Tirmizi and Minhas will begin their training March 30 & 31, via the SearchMarketMe "Accelerated Business Start-up Event," which will feature the secrets of success from the network's most successful Agency Owners. Additionally, the special one-day "Content-palooza" content marketing training event will be held on Monday, April 2. This live training event will feature five live Webinars on content marketing, presented by SMM staff and Agency Owners.

Adobe Simplifies Social Marketing With New Adobe Social Offering

Censorship has been a topic that has received a great deal of attention in the technology and internet sector simply because there are markets that do experience a great deal of censorship. My article on Friday, for example, discussed the Pakistani filtering request and potential implications that it would have on future censorship in that country. China, however, receives the most attention for the censorship that is experienced in the country with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and others all being blocked. Now, with a fresh censoring episode in China of the term "Ferrari," new issues are raised regarding how censoring can negatively impact a specific company and its business.

On Sunday, a Ferrari 458 carrying two women and an unidentified third crashed in the Haidian district of Beijing. The two women sustained potentially serious injuries while the unidentified driver was killed. According to various international sources, reports of the crash in China as well as the term "Ferrari" have been deleted from websites in the country to apparently reduce the information available regarding the crash. Further, online searches of the term "Ferrari" have been blocked. This activity has brought forth media speculation of the driver's identity and the potential for it to be someone of particular importance. Regardless of the reason for the censorship in the form of deletions and blockings, there are potentially harmful effects to Ferrari in that market. The harm is specifically in relation to a restriction of their online presence and their resulting diminished search engine optimization.

Lessons for Internet MarketersFerrari, the company, did not do anything controversial or put out any message related to restricted or sensitive topics in the Chinese market (which largely characterizes the reason for others being censored). Instead, the company was unfortunately brought into this situation by the circumstances of the crash. Thus, this case illustrates the volatile nature of conducting business and having an online presence in a market that experiences internet censorship; at any time, your online presence can be restricted or simply eliminated for any length of time.

Ferrari could experience this disruption to their online presence for a number of weeks, months, or potentially longer. In dealing with censorship, it is hard to predict the length of such disruptions. Thus, companies operating in markets that experience censorship should not rely solely on their internet presence for their business, this makes ecommerce sites especially vulnerable.

Further, Ferrari could not have predicted such an event and subsequent blocking of their name from internet searches. However, there are measures that they can take now to recover (and can be taken by other companies to minimize harm if experiencing a similar situation). This measure is that of diversifying the internet marketing that your company engages in and implementing a coordinated effort containing search engine optimization, paid search, and social media, among others. This way, if one aspect of your strategy cannot function (like a social platform gets banned or your organic search is blocked like Ferrari) then you can fall back on the other facets of your overall strategy. In the end, it is case specific as different companies use their online presence for different purposes. For example, it is likely Ferrari does not try to drive conversions online as that is not the way they make sales, however, their online presence is valuable and they use it to engage with their wider audience.
