Barry Diller's IAC Revamps IWon.com

As Seen On The Associated Press...

NEW YORK (AP) — IAC/InterActiveCorp, the Internet company controlled by media mogul Barry Diller, plans to relaunch its iWon.com Web site Monday with new games, more prizes and plans to add social networking functions.

The site also now incorporates a search toolbar that links iWon users to the company's Ask.com search engine. Diller has made growing Ask a priority and pledged to use the search engine as "the glue" to bring together IAC's myriad Internet businesses, which include LendingTree, Citysearch, Evite, Zwinktopia and others.

IWon's relaunch brings a relic of the dot-com era into the era of social networking, as the popularity of MySpace and Facebook have changed the way people use the Internet.

The site will eventually offer social networking features such as the ability to build personal profiles, chat and use Facebook widgets, iWon Vice President Tim Allen said.

After its 1999 launch, iWon was bought by AskJeeves, then based in Emeryville, Calif., which was taken up by IAC. It has since developed into a portal, trying to draw visitors with a wide-ranging set of features outside of online games, such as news, TV and movie listings and sports scores.

The new site design will focus primarily on casual games, a growing area that Allen says is now the third most popular reason people go online. The site will still offer its $1 million annual sweepstakes and will start to give away $10,000 a day during the week and $1,000 a day on weekends.

He said too few users were winning prizes on the old site, so the new version is designed to give away millions of dollars each year to thousands of users.

"It's like being in Vegas, only without the risk," he said.

Beginning Monday, visitors can play games such as mah jong, blackjack, poker and solitaire as well as instant win games such as Spin2Win. The new site has more than 70 games, up from 10, and there are plans for a total of more than 150 games by the end of the year. iWon estimates there are now 217 million people who play casual games online.

Since its 1999 launch, iWon has given away more than $70 million in cash and prizes, with its biggest draw the $1 million yearly sweepstakes.

IAC also recently relaunched its Pronto.com shopping Web site with an eye toward capitalizing on social networking. Its new tagline is "shopping gone social."

6 Effective Web Design Success Tips to Keep in Mind!

Here are Six Effective Web Design Success Tips for YOU to Keep in Mind when Designing a Search Engine and User Friendly Website:

1. Website Colors
Dark colors are generally a bad idea to use on a website as they appear gloomy. Try using light colors with a few strong colors to support it.

2. Load Speed
Keep your pages load time as fast as possible - people don't want to wait a whole minute just to load each page.

3. Site Navigation
Navigation. Keep your navigation accessible to your user where they can instantly have access to your site's content.

4. Consistency Throughout
Keep your layout and presentation consistent through your whole website. Always keep your navigation links at the same place otherwise it may confuse your visitors.

5. Website Width
Keep your website's layout at a fixed width of 780 pixels or use percentages for your site spanning. Everyone has different resolutions and people don't like having to scroll in all directions to view your website.

6. No Flash
Flash animations are nice, but make it difficult for people who don't have flash support and is harder for SE Spiders to crawl your site.

Hope these help!

Yahoo Invites Us Into Mash, Its New Social Network - As Seen on TechCrunch

A little more than two months after TechCrunch first reported rumors about Yahoo’s new social network Mosh, the company has given us a preview of a social network with a slightly different name: Mash.

The service includes features common to Facebook, MySpace, and My Yahoo. You can load a set of modules onto your profile page and move them around drag-and-drop style. The modules include Flickr RSS, Ego Boost, Common Friends, MyMoshLog2, Blog Module (RSS 2.0), Asteroids, Astrology, PimpMyPet, Hover, Kaleidescope, Guestbook, and My Stuff.

The modules gallery also states that “in the coming months we’re going to open up our module development platform to 3rd party developers,” which suggests that Mash will be following in Facebook’s footsteps at least to some extent (it will be interesting to see whether there will be canvas-like pages, too).
