Just for everyone’s information, Westpac is an Australian Bank. The have a lot of ATM’s throughout Australia and as far as I know, they are the only bank with a photo of a talking person in their ATM screen (comics style). Now, some YouTube dude made fun of it, watch…

There are many different tools out there for SEO’s to use on a website. Each one has different features and benefits depending on how you use them.

That’s why TopRank provides SEO Tool Reviews from time to time. We showcase different tools that you may or may not know about. Some free, some paid, all good.

The basis of this SEO tool review is Firefox. “Firefox a SEO tool”, you say? Alone, Firefox is not an SEO tool, but there are many extensions and toolbars that can be added to Firefox to extend it’s possibilities past basic web browsing.

What makes Firefox so great?

• It’s free.

• It’s secure. If a security issue comes up, the Firefox team plugs it in just a few days.

• It works on Windows, Mac and Linux. Each version with the same features and functionality.

• It has a large developer network creating extensions. Most extensions are platform independent too.

• It is what you want it to be. Between extensions and themes, the user can build a browser that does what they want. It is really all about you.
If you don’t already have Firefox installed, go grab it! As for extending Firefox with SEO plugins, here is a list of 11 tools we either use or have tested with descriptions from Lee:

Simcity Societies - Review by Dream Master from the ZoomCities IT Community

Are you considering purchasing Simcity Societies? DON’T DO IT!

ahem…. let me rephrase that. Are you a fan of the Simcity series like I am and then fell for all of Electronic Art’s hype on the newest Simcity and bought the game? If the answer is no, then please go buy the game now so that I can ridicule you. On the other hand if the answer was yes then, RUN don’t walk to the nearest lawyer and demand retribution and justice!

hmmmm, alright alright, this is a review after all. Where to start.

The Good
The box! It looks like Simcity, it smells like Simcity, it even tastes like Simcity. (This is the last good thing you will hear about Simcity Societies in this review)

The Bad

The Install! If you actually get past this part you are one of the few who succeeded! … I did

The Startup! If you actually get it to start up you are one of the few of the few who got it to install to get it to start. … again I did. (sigh)

The game!
- the short version - What the (Bleepin) (Bleep) (Bleep) (Bleepin Bleep) is this (Bleep)!! (Bleep)!!!

- the long version - It sure the heck ain’t by Maxis, and it is not Simcity! This piece of trash is nothing but blocks. There is no challenge, no reason, no nothing. All you do is plant homes, buildings, and odds and ends. They don’t develop, they don’t do anything but sit there and look pretty. EA claims this is more of a mayoral simulator than the “god” simulator the others were. It is quite (Bleep) the opposite! Simcity, Simcity 2000, Simcity 3000, and especially Simcity 4 are great games where you are a mayor fulfilling the needs of a city in order to achieve results. Simcity Societies you are a god developing your own world. You want 20 workers, stick a house down. Want them to work in an office, stick a building down. You don’t even have to build roads, you can stick a house in one corner of the map and a work place in another, and a nightclub in another, and just stick down a subway entrance. No tunnels, no electricity, no pipes and no roads.

I almost agree with all of the people I read asking for class action lawsuits over this farce of a game. It is shameful to slap the Simcity name on it, and this piece of trash is so blatantly pointless a cat could go to sleep on the keyboard and play it.

The so called achievements in the game probably would not even please a new born baby. If you got the simoleans you just keep adding buildings with no commerce, industry or residential concerns at all and you get every achievement without even caring about it.

Even the so called game patches to add difficulty to the game, all it changed was how fast you can do everything by slowing down the income.

Aside from the meaningless gameplay, the game is horribly programmed. It uses up so much memory that even 4 gb systems can run out of memory after some time. The graphics are slow even on high end systems because of memory leaks and poor programming. They did build in an autosave feature that saves very frequently because the game is going to crash a lot. It was never stable so they instituted this frequent autosave system.

The Ugly
Do yourself a favor if you intend to buy this game. Look at the pretty box, then put it back on the shelf.

Then go to http://myminicity.com/ and applaud the quality of this javascript based simcity over the farce Simcity Societies. (My Mini City is a simcity like script that all you do is visit it once a day.) My minicity is http://merkamanost.myminicity.com/

Go make your own for the fun of it, no sign ups or anything, just a curious oddity.
