Keyword ad sector posts strong growth
Keyword ad sector posts strong growth Van Oanh By Van Oanh - The Saigon Times Daily HANOI – Keyword advertising revenues of search engines have shot up in Vietnam since this form of advertising appeared in the local market about five years ago. Despite the presence of several search engines in Vietnam, Google still holds the lion’s share of the keyword ad market with over 30 million Internet users. Google posted an estimated US$25 million of ad sales in Vietnam in 2012.

Italy cruise wreck rescue halted as ship shifts
The judge investigating the Costa Concordia disaster said Wednesday the captain had shirked his responsibilities, as divers halted the search for survivors on the increasingly unstable wreck. Judge Valeria Montesarchio released captain Francesco Schettino from police custody into house arrest despite noting he made no "serious attempt" to rejoin the stricken vessel to take charge of evacuating the remaining passengers. Rescuers were forced to suspend their search Wednesday as the vessel shifted. Emergency workers fear that the ship could slip from its resting place on a rocky shelf and slip into deeper waters. "Instruments indicated the ship had moved, we are in the process of evaluating if it has found a new resting point to allow us to resume. For the moment we cannot even go near it," emergency services spokesman Luca Cari said. Divers, mountain rescue teams and marines have recovered 11 bodies from the turbid waters of the half-submerged hulk in the days since Friday … [Read more...] about Italy cruise wreck rescue halted as ship shifts
