web: Contributor by Google

Contributor by Google:

"An experiment in additional ways to fund the web. 

Today’s Internet is mostly funded by advertising. 

But what if there were a way to directly support 

the people who create the sites you visit each day?"

"Google is introducing a program called Google Contributor, which would give users the option to remove ads from their web experience.

The feature comes at a price, however. Users can choose whether to pay $1, $2 or $3 per month, which generated revenue being shared between Google and participating websites.

"When you visit a participating website, part of your contribution goes to the creators of that site,"

Azure: Data Factory Services

ScottGu's Blog - Azure: Announcing New Real-time Data Streaming and Data Factory Services:



The Ins and Outs of Azure Data Factory – Orchestration and Management of Diverse Data - SQL Server Team Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs 
Azure Data Factory is a fully managed service that does information production by orchestrating data with processing services as managed data pipelines. A pipeline connects diverse data (like SQL Server on-premises or cloud data like Azure SQL Database, Blobs, Tables, and SQL Server in Azure Virtual Machines) with diverse processing techniques (like Azure HDInsight (Hive and Pig), and custom C# activities). This will allow the data developer to transform and shape the data (join, aggregate, cleanse, enrich) so that it becomes authoritative and trustworthy to be consumed by BI tools.
