State of the Art of Being a Fan
Published on November 25th, 2007.
Probably most of you know about the Liverpool FC of UK and beyond that most of you don’t know anything about Besiktas JK of Turkey. Till now Besiktas has no significant success in international arena when comparedwith Reds. These two football teams has distinctive supporters making themselves one of a kind. They support their teams even if the teams are in a very horrid phase.
Liverpool and Besiktas are in the same group (A) in European Champions Leaugue. First match was nearly one month ago Besiktas beat Reds 2-1. (In the second match Liverpool did a great job and beat Besiktas 8-0. A record in CL. )The game was not fully satisfactory but the fans…. There is nothing to say… Take a look at this video of Carsi fans of Besiktas:
(Great thanks to the Giac0m0Casan0va of YouTube who made this video available.)

This standard proposal was not created by bringing together the experience and expertise of all interested parties (such as the producers, sellers, buyers, users and regulators), but by Microsoft alone.

Website Copying Business (WorldCard)
Published on November 20th, 2007.
One of our friends informed us about a newcomer copying business. World Card (which is the property of YapiKredi Bank in Turkey) imitates or directly steals the concept from Volkswagen of America. You decide.
Bir arkadaşımız uyardı biz de haber yaptık. World Card’ın yeni web sitesi Volkswagen America’dan çalıntı olmasın?? Belki de esinleniyordur.
