Check Gmail On Your iPhone Using This Easy IMAP Setup

Most of us have heard that Gmail is fast becoming the top email client worldwide. There are several reasons why this is happening. First, Google provides all of the Gmail accounts with a continuous escalating amount of storage space. In addition, the Gmail interface is very simple and a no-brainer to use. Google has made sure their email service is similar to their Google search engine, meaning there are no ads splattered all over your page, which enables you to find whatever information or emails that are needed quick as a flash. So, for those who are continuously on the move, you absolutely want the ability to access your Gmail account whenever and wherever you might be.

Those of you who own an Apple iPhone are no doubt wondering how your Gmail account can be integrated with your iPhone to allow the viewing of your emails to be literally as easy as looking at your iPhone screen.

A recent announcement from Google states that one can now add a protocol to an iPhone strictly for Gmail account access. This recent IMAP application now allows those that have Gmail accounts to now view their email on an offline email reader. This application is perfect for those that have an iPhone. It is very simple to first install and then run the IMAP application on your iPhone. This installation on your iPhone will now allow you to integrate your iPhone seamlessly to your personal Gmail account.

Your first step in this process is to log into your Gmail account and enable IMAP. After logging in, go to "Settings". After that, next click on "Forwarding" and "POP/IMAP", and finally click on "Enable IMAP".

When you have completed the above, pick up your iPhone and first tap "Settings", and now tap "Mail". After completion of those two tasks, you must make sure to click "Add Account". OK, when you are done with doing these steps, don't click the Gmail option. This option has not been updated to the latest IMAP settings. Instead, you will want to click "Other". Once you have finished that step, you can begin entering your personal information. Start by entering your "Name", then enter the "Host Name", which is:"imap.gmail.com". Once these steps have been finished, you must enter your personal Gmail account address, which will have the @gmail.com at the end of your username. For example (your-user-name @gmail.com)

Now you move to the "Outgoing Mail Server", or "SMTP". Under "Host Name" you should enter:"smtp.gmail.com". Finally you must save all of these entries. That was easy! Your IMAP Gmail account is now set up. You now can view all of your old and new Gmail messages.

In today's fast paced world the ability to check your email, no matter where you are, is extremely critical. It makes no difference if you are a serious business person who needs continuous access to email, or a student who wants the ability to check messages between classes in school, you can now do so on your iPhone after you activate your IMAP service. Since communication is a key factor in our society, and if you cannot quickly reply to email messages, you may suffer professional or social consequences. Now with your iPhone properly enabled for Gmail, you can stay connected to the world surrounding you, regardless of your location.

Future & Types of Internet Advertising

Advertising is rapidly becoming the backbone of marketing. Different firms opt to different mediums of advertising in accordance with the nature of a product. Today, Internet Advertising has become one of the most up-to-date and fastest medium of making products popular.

At the age of infancy, when there was no concept of World Wide Web, Internet consisted of several bulletin board systems (BBS) spread throughout the region. The Internet world was totally changed after the development of WWW in 1991 by CERN. This system was intended to be a medium for many users to access a server, at the same time with no bearing on proximity.

The most effective ways of Internet Advertising are:

In 1990s, Internet Advertising became popular and the companies started building their websites. This system was the most upbeat version of Internet Advertising in the early nineties. Some examples of these sites are www.pepsi.com, www.ibm.com, and www.adiva.com (a personal favorite). The only drawback with this ideology is that the users have to type the web address of the desired company into their browser, in order to view its page. So, the companies started posting their web addresses on television, billboards and on other forms of media.

A website, www.geocities.com?gave birth to a new form of advertising, offering a layman a chance to post his/her own homepage. Geocities placed a banner at the top and/or bottom of every page that was displayed off of their server. This way, Geocities got free advertising each time somebody was served a page from one of their member's sites (as all sites were hosted on Geocities hardware). This developed into the banner ad, now a common form of Internet advertising found throughout the WWW.

Electronic mail is another major form of Internet Advertising. A few companies began to amass collections of personal e-mail addresses with the intention of selling those lists to companies wishing to mass market those addresses. This form of advertising, also known as "spam mailing", is now predominantly used by adult sites and other small companies with little ability to use the other two forms of Internet advertising stated above.

Companies like, ford.com and eye4u.com use the three design strategy of advertising. The companies have built more interactive websites use full color and animation to deliver a corporate image to the consumer.

Silicon Graphics International is the company developing new form of Internet Protocol which is known VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language). Its a three-dimensional version of HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language). This new technology will soon be incorporated into both banner advertisements and in corporate websites to create dynamic advertisements which will draw more visitors to their sites.

In the future, sites like candystand.com, where gaming is the main draw, will become more rich in media, streaming audio and video, with dynamic content streamed along side the advertisement, appealing to the user's pre-programmed preferences. One site that is attempting to develop this type of site is Intel Corporation. The manufacturer of most microprocessors on the planet is now developing a site for their latest microchip, the Pentium III Processor.

In short, the future of advertising is as doubtful as its origin was. Sooner or later, all three types of advertising will converge into a form where the banner ads will become interactive, and slowly but surely escort into the corporate site where mailing lists will update the user on changes to the site, bringing back the user to the website. With faster download speeds, advertising will become more striking in content and presentation. Information about the products or services will be viewed alongside the video, allowing the user to be much more informed than on any other media.
