IDG News Service - The operators of The Pirate Bay will allow users to delete their accounts on the torrent-tracking site, a feature many users have requested since a deal to sell the site was announced Tuesday.
Swedish Internet cafe operator Global Gaming Factory X (GGF) announced on Tuesday that it plans to buy The Pirate Bay for $7.8 million, prompting negative reactions from many of the site's users.
"Many people have asked about having their account removed, and we will not force anyone to stay on," The Pirate Bay's operators wrote in a posting to the site's blog on Tuesday.
The operators planned to build a user deletion interface later Tuesday, according to the posting.
Users should not worry about their personal data falling into the wrong hands, they said.
"We have no logs of anything, no personal data will be transferred in the eventual sale (since no personal data is kept). So no need to be worried for safety," they wrote.
While the question of logs is important in some European countries, Sweden has yet to adopt into national law a European directive requiring telecommunications and Internet companies to retain data about their customers' online activities for law enforcement purposes.
Comments on the deal were not confined to requests for the account deletion feature. Other users called the site operators sellouts and said the deal will kill The Pirate Bay.
The operators wrote, however, that The Pirate Bay couldn't afford to develop its services further without outside help.
"We cannot finance the growth of the site anymore," they wrote, adding that the deal with GGF was the only available option.
Many users are still upset over that deal, but there also more understanding comments to the blog posting. "You will always have my support!" a user identified as blake324 wrote. And someone known as MassExodus said, "Thank you The Pirate Bay for all you've provided over the years -- we'll see how it pans out over the next few months."

Bukisa: Write and Get Paid
When I was doing some discussions on MyLot the other day, I received a message from a MyLot friend. It is a message to share a site with me called Bukisa.
Bukisa is a site that work almost like Triond [What is Triond?] where we can submit articles, gain more views and get paid. The different part of Bukisa is that it offers far more payment per 1000 views than Triond. So, it is a good site to join and make money from our articles.

In Bukisa, there is a place where you can find Bukisa Index. Bukisa Index is the amount of money we will receive when our articles get 1000 impressions or views.
How Bukisa Works?
Bukisa is paying authors by using pay per 1000 impressions which is known as Bukisa Index. Refer to the picture above, you can see that the Bukisa Index is now offering USD$3.42 per 1000 impressions or views. That is quite a good income.
Let's do some Mathematics:
1 article get 1000 impressions = USD$3.42
10 articles get 1000 impressions= USD$34.20
If you work hard:
50 articles get 1000 impressions= USD$171.00
Remember, our articles can generate more than 1000 impressions and it continues to help us generate more money and more income. Once our articles are submitted to Bukisa and once the articles are live, we start generate income from our articles over and over again which is similar to Triond. [What is Triond?]
In the long run, we could make quite a good income using Bukisa.
That is not all, in Bukisa, we can refer our friends to join and we get paid commissions too. I can say that Bukisa is indeed a better choice to write and submit articles and make money. Bukisa is a much better site as compared to Triond if you want to make money without a blog and make money using your articles.

Make Money by Designing Logos
There are some sites offering logo designers to make money by helping their clients to design logos. I manage to find a site called CrowdSpring. Personally, I am not really good at logo designing, so I do not join the site. I decided to share this money making opportunity to all of you who are reading my blog.
Basically, the site is a place for large website to find logo designers and then they can choose the logos they like. Most of the clients are offering high pay rate, normally around $400 to $1000 per project or per design. You can click on the picture above, you can see that the current projects are offering $1000 per project. It is quite a large amount of money.

If you are very good at logo design, then this would be the way for you to make huge income online. For me, designing logo is not easy job. I tried very hard to do some design using Photoshop and I am cracking my head to even think of an idea. Even worst, I am not that good at using Photoshop which makes it even harder for me to design.
I know that there are a lot of you out ther are very good logo designers or maybe you are very good at using Photoshop. So, this would be a great chance for you to make money. You find a project, do the design, submit and if your designs get accepted, then you are on your way to make real income online.
So, you might want to try CrowdSpring out. Use your talent in design to make money for you. There might be more sites allowing users to make money using their talent in design, you could try to find out more yourself.
