What’s your take on the concern raised by Benj on his post at FilipinoVoices.com: The Worst-Case Scenario: The Cyber Crackdown?
“…Opening the path to blogging to people like Lozada and Panlilio seems to be a double-edged sword….”
“…While the value of freedom of expression is undeniable and is arguably a concept that should almost supersede any other idea out there, this move also exposes the once sheltered community of bloggers to possible run-ins with the administration…”
“…Filipino political bloggers have always had their way all these years. No one has ever been charged and they could criticize using the strongest terms but what happens once the spotlight finally hits this corner of cyberspace….”
“…With more eyes and ears listening in to blogs, we may be just a few months away from seeing our first blogger arrest.”
Do you also have reservations about this?

Thank goodness to Internet, I can tell everybody and pay my respects for the death of Rudy Fernandez.
I’m not really a fan, but he has a great resume and everything, Lorna Tolentino is lucky!
The fact that it literally took me a click to see the shocking news was a mere fantasy in the olden times when gossip mongers were the source of the fresh and shocking news. Internet really is great.
But being here in Hawai’i wherein you have to apply for a cable to get the news in the Philippines, is a little troublesome and lowers my chances of getting the latest stories.
Not only there’s difference if distance, there’s also time zone! Bummer. (BLOG ENTRY ENDS HERE)

Twitter’s been down lately. Anyone with an account at the service will know that. The Web’s been abuzz with rants about the downtime, and while Pownce and Jaiku users have taken this opportunity to invite people to switch, Twitterers still can’t find a better service.
Until Plurk came along.
Yes, Plurk. It’s taking the Interwebs by storm and becoming a serious alternative to Twitter. How can it not be, what with its name (Plurk! Plurk! Plurk! I could say it all day), the funny headless pig cartoon, and the cool features that come with it. Many Plurkers (I guess that’s what we’re called) have been asking the questions: Is Plurk a viable alternative to Twitter and are you going back to Twitter or leaving it for good? In this post, I’ll explore the answers to those questions, so follow along!

I have read a lot of reviews from different products from different people. Some are very informative while some are pretty biased but from time to time, you’ll find something that will make you smile. Now keep in mind that this is an actual review from a user of Amazon.com about Ubuntu.

Nope, it’s not the FB you’re thinking about. It’s about having the ideal digg friends who’ll digg your shouts and more. We all know that there are different kinds of digg users. Some of them are good for you and your content promotion, while others are simply not interested. There are digg users who are picky with their friends, and then there are those who just befriend anyone they could get their eyes on. I guess being picky for a right reason saves you the effort of having to add too many friends in exchange for better submission promotion. Why add 100 friends when all you need is maybe a carefully chosen 75 or half of it and get the same benefits. Of course, it sounds ridiculous since we all have reasons why we join digg and why we add friends, but if you’re interested in getting more from your “please digg shouts”, maybe filtering out the less responsive digg users from your potential friend list is a better option.

WordPress and WordPress.com are Automattic products, while Movable Type and TypePad are SixApart products. These two companies are fierce competitors for the blogging platform crown, but here’s a surprise: you can actually use two of their plugins for the “opposing camp”. Continue reading the whole post…
According to pinoyblurker, Bloggers Kapihan has launced a blog written by Jun Lozada himself.
I really think it is a great thing that he has a blog in part of his crusade to save the Philippines and maybe the world from utter destruction.
His latest blog entry “First Postings” talks about people who defame him and claim to be the voices of all pinoys around the globe that are actually paid dogs for the ever so corrupt officials.
His points and views are correct and makes you say your oh’s and ah’s, another good point is that it is in both Filipino and English, so everyone can understand. To top it all off, the layout is crips, clean, easy to acces and to the eyes. And a blog is a good communication medium even if you’re on dial-up or wi-fi. (more from Jun Lozada’s New Blog. )
So far, so good. This blog entry is just a reminder and a bulletin about our stay here in Hawai’i. It’s all because of the fact that I don’t have my own computer yet!
June 2 was that day and we went over to Hale’iwa, a super touristy spot for us to see the beach and for our new dad to see the turtles. (More from Empty Goals. )
Are you a new blogger or, perhaps, one of the bottom dwellers that comprise the majority of the blogosphere (like me)? What are your chances of hitting the front page of digg, you may ask? Well, I have no exact numbers for that; but if you’re no social media genius then most probably it’s next to impossible. You can submit all your posts to digg but I can guarantee you that all your efforts will just go to waste. I am not trying to deter you from submitting your posts but for expecting to land on the front page, although not completely impossible, you should be realistic about it. What then can we expect from digg? I did some research before I temporarily vacated this blog for three weeks at most and I found out that it’s possible to get traffic from digg without necessarily hitting the front page. It might not be as massive as thousands a day but I can guarantee you that it will definitely be worth the effort. All you need is time and a focused effort to do it.

I’ve been using Image Shack for hosting the images that I post here and in other forums that I’m in. I find this host user-friendly. You can even upload your ever memorable video clips. Since I use Image Shack regularly, I decided to install its Toolbar.
The ImageShack Toolbar integrates with Firefox, Internet Explorer 6.0 and Windows XP and has drag-and-drop, right-click upload, free multiple image upload and many other features. If you wish to know other Image Shack features and tools, you may find it here.
By doing that, you are able to upload multiple images at one time and make a slide show if you want, resize them at the same time accordingly. See screenshot below (click on it for larger view): Continue reading ‘Free Image Hosts’
Web 2.0 is not just for the web anymore, it is affecting the “offline” world. We’ve heard all the 2.0’s like Community 2.0, but there is another aspect that is changing - Comments 2.0 and Forums 2.0. The world is going towards - One Web Community.
Learn about what it is by visiting here.
The first thing to look for when going for multiple website account is whether or not to host them all with the same web hosting company. Several web hosting companies offer packages that let you set up multiple sites on a single account and almost all will let you set up multiple accounts. CONTINUE READING
May 28 is National Flag Day, which is when the Philippine flag was raised for the first time in 1898 (in the Battle of Alapan, Imus, Cavite). Beginning this day until June 12, which is our Independence Day, everyone is encouraged to display the Philippine flag in front of our homes, schools, offices, and other places. This period is called National Flag Days.
Here’s an idea: why not wave the National Flag on your blog? Continue reading the whole post…
After having troubles in buying the new Smart Bro prepaid, I finally was able to use it and surf the internet anywhere. It has been a week since I have used this product. So far it has surpassed my expectations based on speed. The Smart Bro prepaid package by the way contains the Smart Bro modem, two USB cords and a manual.
Before, I usually use the internet by going to Robinson’s Galleria and take advantage (abuse) of the mall’s free WIFi service. I also sometimes connect using my GPRS mobile phone. That was really horrible in terms of speed. I cannot even open my Yahoo and Chikka Messenger.

One of the first things you can do in your Google AdWords campaign is to make use of keyword optimization. You can start this process by doing your homework and limiting your keywords.

While those illegally using a mobile phone while driving on the road will face being fined, such an offence may only be the beginning of their finance-related motoring pressures.
This is claimed by AA Insurance, when it indicated that consumers who choose flouting the law by talking on a mobile phone while at the wheel will be stung with a fixed-penalty notice of 60 pounds. Click here to continue

A while ago while surfing through the different reviews made on the PRC Board Exam Results [dot] com, I encountered this link to http://www.prc.gov.ph/, the official Professional Regulation Commission website.
I tried accessing the site when suddenly my newly installed Mozilla Firefox 3 Release Candidate warned me with this screen:

Last Monday after work, I was excited to visit a SMART Wireless Center to buy a SMART Bro Prepaid. Not only I will be wired anywhere but also I can get to talk to my loved ones all over the world. I was surprised that the SMART Wireless Center in Robinson’s Galleria now has a computerized ticketing system. Since it is my first time with that system, I asked the security guard right beside it on how to use it. He then asked me with the purpose of my visit. I told him that I would buy the SMART Bro Prepaid. I was so disappointed to hear from him that it was sold out in their outlet. I then have decided to go straight to SM MegaMall to check if they have a stock.
