2007-08-21 16:10:00
A report in EETimes reveals that UWB might overtake Wi-Fi in the future. Despite nabbing the first-to-market crown and taking an early lead, Wi-Fi is destined to be overtaken in market volume by Ultra -wideband (UWB) technology, according the market research firm In-Stat. The need for a wireless technology in the future is a must and almost new laptop and PDA manufacturers is keeping in mind that Wi-Fi capability is a must now a days.

Ofcourse it is the manufacturer because they have to introduce a system compatibility to this. Well that is the past changing technology.

Filipino Problogger Interview in GMA-7
2007-08-20 07:24:00
Filipinos are becoming aware that Blogging is not only a hobby but it may be a source of income. According to the recent interview as shown above from Angelo Racoma and Abe Olandares, They reveal that a blogger may earn up to US $ 6,000.00 a month . But of course It can't be done in an overnight task. I myself got already 2 cheques from adsense since my blogging start last December and another one is on the way perhaps by next two weeks. And by the way blogging for me is only part time. And sometime above mentioned figures is due to different blogs that a blogger is holding. You may not be an HTML expert to be able to earn from blogging but studying it is a must if you want to take control of your blog layout that will be suitable on your personality that you want to portray to your readers. ( By the way I am not an expert with this things ). If there will be new blogger wanna be, that would like to learn and start earning I suggest reading Pinoy blogero site and of course t...

iPod in for my blog ( Online MP3 )
2007-08-15 07:12:00
This is my online iPod skin with proper functional MP3 player that works exactly like the real iPod. I may not have one in reality but it is good that I have it online. You may Upload MP3 on their site as well as you can also add music which was uploaded by other. According to Amit: ivoon is a new service that lets you share music on your webpages and blogs using the very familiar interface of the iPod. You can either upload your own MP3 songs on the ivoon website or create a playlist from songs that are uploaded by other users. You can embed that song list using either a black or the white iPod. Sorry but no support for videos since this an audio only version of the iPod. There are currently no restrictions and the music streaming is pretty fast so this service could also appeal to podcasters who want to showcase their MP3 archives on the homepage.   Thanks to Amit for providing this information. Other source of information :  iVoon Player | Thanks Derek and Orli.

Digg.com welcomes Microsoft Ads and says Goodbye to Google
2007-07-26 07:55:00
It was announced by Microsoft that Digg.com will not use Google Advertisement and instead will use Microsoft Advertisement. Microsoft Corp. announced online advertising deals Wednesday with Digg.com and video-game publisher Electronic Arts, seeking to further establish itself in an area of the tech industry dominated by its rivals. The agreements came in advance of Microsoft's annual conference with financial analysts Thursday in Redmond -- where one of the company's challenges will be convincing analysts that it can come from behind in online search and advertising. Microsoft will replace Google's ad system on the Digg site. Google, the Internet search leader, posted $3.8 billion in online ad revenue last quarter -- seven times more than Microsoft. The Digg deal will make Microsoft the exclusive provider of display advertising and contextual ads, determined by the contents of the site. It's similar to an advertising agreement Microsoft struck with social networking site Fa...

iPhone lack of 3G their disadvantage
2007-07-23 07:04:00
Since we are now in a Modern age where everybody has a cellphone we might as well talk about iPhone , almost every mobile company is in discussion with apple about the iPhone lack of 3G support. Most of the telephone networks all over the world including Philippines, Middle East, USA, Europe and others had spend Million of dollars just to be upgraded in 3G. I thick the lack of 3G Support from iPhone is their disadvantage but rather an advantage to other Telephone Manufacturer like Nokia, Siemens, I-mate, O2 and others. If I will choose in between my I-mate and iPhone I might as well remain to my phone since iPhone will not give me an advantage over the latest technology in mobile.

2 weeks ago I have seen that Yugatech.com has posted about Google AdSense Referral s expand globally and when I check out my Adsense today I just found out that it is now included in my list. So it will be a new source of income, But the only not so good thing here is you will only be paid after your visitor clicks and sign up to what ever things that you referred to. You have an option to have up to 15 advertiser from a specific niche. So you are sure that what will appear in that spot is only those advertiser that you include in your list. So let us see if this new referral scheme will be an additional income or only an additional load to my page. I will report after 2 weeks.

I would like to thank love all books for putting a permanent link of my post regarding Do Follow Tags on his blog ( Sitewide ). At first I wonder how did he found out my post regarding this " Do Follow Tag " so what I did is to put Do Follow Tag Keyword at google. Then presto I am the at the 2nd spot of Google SERP. How did I made it, Check my SEO Tips here. If only all my post will be on the no 2 on google searches it will drive a very high traffic to my site. But actually based on my stats it is only last week that Google searches is giving traffic to my site. Let us say 50 to 80 a day but having a not so good conversion. So what I have to do is to post good and informative blogs so that my visitor will not just hit the X mark at the right corner of the page and perhaps go make some blog post hopping at my site. To all my readers if you have some tips, question and others try to send me an email thru dexfamily [at] gmail [dot] com.
