WooThemes MasterCard
I now have my very own WooThemes.com MasterCard! :woot: About two months ago, I applied for this debit card at WooThemes, the creators of my favorite WordPress magazine, business, CMS & blog themes. The card (as well as the online bank account) is part of their affiliate program, and can be used to receive earnings [...]
BlogWatch
There’s a new “new media” publication in town — BlogWatch.ph, and I feel very privileged to be a part of it. BlogWatch, which was launched last 24 November in Makati, is a worthy undertaking that aims to provide news and commentary in the proven style of traditional journalism but with the flair of “Web 2.0″. [...]
OLX free classifieds
OLX Free Classifieds is the first such online service that has successfully merged “Web 2.0″ functionality with user-friendliness and simplicity. Think of it as Craigslist in the new era of the World Wide Web. What’s more, it’s now strongly established in the Philippines. Once registered — a very quick and painless procedure, by the way [...]
Interesting facts & figures about the Moon
The landing on the moon took place forty years ago yesterday, on 20 July 1969. Here are some interesting facts and figures about the Earth’s satellite. The Astronauts had to back up their computer-guided navigation system by making star sightings with a sextant, much like Captain Cook and other 18th-century mariners before them. A present [...]
A new site on the block
AyosDito.ph is a fairly new online service that lets anybody who has access to the Internet buy and sell stuff. There are a number of other similar sites, but AyosDito.ph is unique in that it’s very straightforward and it’s not built on top of a bulletin board. Their no-frills interface immediately makes online buyers aware [...]
Un-smart marketing by SmartBro
Even with the occasional minor hiccups, I’ve always been happy with my SmartBro DSL connection at home, and I’ve always recommended the service to friends, colleagues, clients. But lately, this Internet company has been spamming their subscribers! Not via email, but in a way that’s much worse. The image above is a screen-capture of an [...]
Plurk-mania
Do you Plurk? I was a late adopter, but now not a day goes by without finding me plurking at least once a day. It used to privately amuse me seeing some friends fretting about their “karma” points. Now I find myself wishing I had more myself! All for extra smilies… Seriously, Plurk, founded only [...]
Themes for Plurkers
The Plurk microblogging platform has truly taken off in the Philippines. I think it would be safe to assume that Plurk has overtaken Twitter among Filipino netizens. And one who stands out in this population is the man behind remarkable Web 2.0 projects such as the Alleba Filipino Search Engine, Ratified.org and quite a few [...]
Beware of el cheapo services!
There was a blissful time when I truly appreciated this Filipino domain registration company, Cheaper Than Cheap Domains (or CTCD). I’ve always believed that we should patronize our own, because doing so would help our economy somehow. But boy, I made a mistake with this one! When I started using them a year ago for [...]
DavaoTechJobs.com
I began this site in February 2008, but delayed blogging about DavaoTechJobs.com because I wasn’t quite sure yet how I’d go about presenting it to the world. The objective, however, was clear from the start: to provide a venue for both job seekers and employment providers. At first, I just used the blog system to [...]
