A blog is much more of a personal touch, meaning that it is run as a one man show and the contents are basically a reflection of the thoughts/analysis of the publisher. However, the website version is much more multidimensional . It s usually on a large scale, with lots of columnists and contributors on the site. To run such a site is a little bit expensive because you need to invest on social media seriously ( Facebook and twitter especially), hire writers e.t.c. Typically, most physical companies in this niche are the ones running accompanying website whereas individuals/independents usually start out with a blog. The model of setting up either model is the same with WordPress. For anyone wanting to venture in this niche, I strongly advise that you start with the blog niche and gradually grow/scale up everything into becoming a full fledged website ( I started with this model and still using the model, I average the sum of USD200 per day from Google Adsense earnings ). ...

Older adults with heart disease who regularly exercise, even a little bit, may live longer than they would without any physical activity, a Norwegian study suggests. Researchers examined three decades of data on 3,307 adults who had been diagnosed with coronary heart disease after a heart attack or an episode of severe chest pain, known as angina, caused by inadequate blood supply to the heart. By the time half of the patients had been in the study for at least 15 years, 1,493 of them had died. Compared to people who were inactive, participants who consistently got the minimum recommended amount of exercise for adults were 36 percent less likely to die during the study. If these very active people scaled back their workouts over time, they were still 26 percent less likely to die than sedentary individuals. And even a little exercise was tied to a longer life. People who consistently exercised, though less than the average, were still 19 percent less likely to die than seden...

BEIJING: WeChat’s worldwide accounts have crossed the one billion mark, according to the chief executive of its parent company Tencent. The all-in-one app is a daily necessity for most Chinese, bringing together messaging, social media, mobile payment, games, news and other services. "WeChat’s worldwide monthly active users have surpassed the critical one billion mark," CEO Pony Ma said Monday on the sidelines of China’s parliamentary session underway in Beijing. "In the future we hope to use technological innovation to push forward the next developmental step of reform and opening," Ma said. He was referring to China’s economic liberalisation policy that has fuelled four decades of breakneck economic growth. Although Ma said WeChat’s monthly active users had crossed the one billion threshold, a company spokesman told AFP he was referring to its total number of accounts. Still, the one billion figure indicates the huge user base which Tencent has buil...

SAN FRANCISCO: Jeff Bezos is officially the richest person on the planet thanks to the success of Amazon -- but his bold vision extends to space and even time itself. With Amazon´s share price up nearly 60 percent during the past year, the personal wealth of the company´s 54-year-old founder has doubled to more than $110 billion. Bezos leapt past Bill Gates this week to the top spot on an annual Forbes magazine list of billionaires, relegating the Microsoft co-founder to second place with a net worth of about $90 billion. He has gone on record with a formula for success that includes taking bold bets, riding change and rebounding from setbacks. "You need to be nimble and robust so you need to be able to take a punch and you also need to be quick and innovative and do new things at a higher speed, that´s the best defense against the future," Bezos said in an interview published in Vanity Fair magazine last year. "You have to always be leaning into the future....
