News about Instagram algorithm change can affect follow news feed


I just heard about this news from Instagram users who are posting "Turn ON Notification" button, which is located at the upper right corner of an Instagram post. IG users are now worried because their followers wont be able to see their post at their IG news feed because Instagram will change its news feed format and it will prioritize post that are popular. It looks like that someone at Instagram leaked the news intentionally just to hear the comments of their users.

Blogger problems in Flickr’s new photo experience–still no embed button–part 2

flick 2
I’m ranting again about Flickr’s new photo experience upgrade, and after 3 days, I saw that they are finally placing the links and buttons to their new UI, buttons for social network sharing is already present, but the embed link for blogs are not yet available. I hope they can fix this ASAP because I’m trapped within their PREVIEW stage and there’s no going back to the original UI.

Blogger problems–don’t try Flickr’s preview of their new photo experience

index
Flickr is now having a new UI for viewing a photo in your photostream or friend’s stream. They have a new panel that appears at the right side of the photo and displays a description of the photo and some buttons – like Star rating, comments count, embed button and delete (if you are in your own account).

My problem is that I clicked an invitation from Flickr to try and view the new photo experience of their new UI, but when I start to work on some blog post, I noticed that the embed button is not working, the new UI is half bake and the embed service is not present as of now, I started to look for the opt out button for the preview, but I can’t find it.

Coverage: Rappler and Google forum - #ThinkPH: the internet, big data and you

P8226812
I joined Enzo of www.juanmanilaexpress.com here in New World Hotel for the Rappler and Google event, “#ThinkPH: the internet, big data and you” , it’s gathering of all online media, journalist, bloggers and netizens. We arrived at around 3pm and here we caught Narciso Reyes,the country manager for Google Philippines. He showed to us the Google Trends website, a new Google site product that detects and show to you the trending topics available online. This can be used to study the behavior of people and what topic they talk about.

Then we got in time for the start of their final topic which is about “Big Data Case Study: Philippine Elections” . Most topics discussed here are about the recent Philippine election, what went wrong, what we need to improve and what actions should we do in the next election. Most people here in the room talk about the upcoming 2016 Presidential election, and this is a good move that we need to prepare early before 2016.

2013 Philippine Election Hashtags in Twitter (who's trending?)


I'm monitoring the Twitter feeds and hashtags for the 2013 Philippine Elections for news and updates on what's going on around the election scene. I haven't voted yet, but I will vote later together with my wife and sister in law in a nearby school here in our area in Cavite, I should be aware on what's going and also the problems that are experienced by voters this morning.

There are lots of hashtag tributes for the 2013 Philippine elections, but I just don't know where to read the news and update. But I noticed that these hashtags are not just for reporting election problems but also a way to show what's happening to other side of the country. It's easy to monitor and read the feeds...thanks to Twitter for not having some hiccups.

2013 Philippine Election Hashtags - uploaded by Azrael Coladilla
#electionph2013 - 8,239 reach


Here's a Twitter hashtag reach race.... I just used Twitter Reach in getting their estimated reach and other stats. Check out who takes the lead.  All stats are screen cap at 3PM of May 13, 2013

Another content scrapper copying my blog entries


It sucks that someone is enjoying free content by copying a lot of blog content from here in my blog. This blog - http://newcar2011-sony.blogspot.com copies a lot of post from my blog Azrael's Merryland. I just discovered it when I googled something that I needed for an upcoming blog post.

I posted a comment in two blog post just to let know the blogger that the post must be deleted, I also reported it to Google's Blogger.com via this link - http://support.google.com/blogger/bin/request.py?hl=en&contact_type=main_tos

I sent my valid ID just to let Google know that I'm the real Azrael Coladilla, because the post seems to reflect that I'm already blogging from that fake blog site.

here are some sample of post that he copied from here

http://newcar2011-sony.blogspot.com/2011/04/photo-walking-from-global-city-mckinley.html

http://newcar2011-sony.blogspot.com/search/label/10th%20philippine%20toy%20con%20production%20notes

I don't want to waste my time in collecting all copied links, but I want for Google to do is to delete that blog and ban the user for activating it again. Let's give Google less than a week to help me resolve this, I will submit a report of abuse again if ever Google didn't do any actions.

Nolan Daniel's "Share this photo and I will give a random person 1 million dollars" in Facebook

photo via http://www.facebook.com/Nolan.Daniels
I saw this photo being re-shared for many times in my Facebook newsfeed, some of the Facebook users are convinced to this announcement from Nolan Daniel, that he will give 1 million US dollars to a random person who shared his photo with the lottery ticket. Its easy to click a button and there's nothing wrong if you share it, and you can dream already that a total stranger from Facebook gave you a money.

I didn't give attention at first when a friend shared this to his timeline and then after a few days, I saw this photo again. I just got the idea to Google-fu this shiznit and then boom! I read that its a hoax! the Nolan Daniel 1 million dollar giveaway is a fake, and also the lottery ticket is digitally manipulated.

According to online news site, that Powerball ticket should have numbers that are arrange in numerical order. Okay that blows up the deal, but its a laugh trip from Nolan Daniel for coming up a the greatest Facebook photo troll  in history to million of Facebook users hahahahahah.Its a good cause, but I just hope that the giveaway is true.

But hey! if ever I win a million pesos, I will donate some to charity and then a million as a blog giveaway hehhheheh....GAME ?

Free webinar for Pinoys : learn how to get work online and be a virtual assistance and content writer

The knowledge you will get from this free webinar this Nov 11 in a Google Hang out environment organized by Maribeth Brown-Oliver, a professional freelance virtual assistance and content writer, will answer all the question we faced every time we met a friend or someone who knows it..  "how do we earn money online?" "how do we get jobs and work at home ?"  "you go to the beach every week and still you are working and earn money at the same time"

Yes, the feeling is awesome when you work at home and be with your family and hang out with your friends anytime, but there are levels of expertise that you must understand on how to be a professional Work-At-home person. Back in the year 2001, I just learned the way of the force! , the online force (you will understand this if you are a Star Wars fan haaha),  I just use my mobile phone and read that I got new clients for a digital publishing gig, and I was there infront of a sunset in a private owned beach rest house in Batangas, sipping an iced tea and watch the sea calms down, I pop up my laptop and started working for some hours and then boom! I got paid after it. How cool is that, with a single push of a button, I'm already working hahhaahh. And the next year is that I discovered that I'm already blogging, then become a working student during 2006 and didn't know that I'm already a virtual assistant to this USA based comic artist talent agency.

Same thing also for blogging, and other things, but online work at home is changing so fast and today we have an additional career - social media management. The webinar will show you the way on how you can be a virtual assistant and also a content writer.

below are the details in copy paste format :)

REGISTER HERE  http://www.facebook.com/events/274207316015185/
webinar starts on Nov 11 at 8am in a Google Hangout

Topics:
- Nature of working online
- Demands and requirements in the online industry.
- How can you fit in as an applicant.
- How to apply

Digital Marketing Workshop this Nov 17 organized by Jeoff Solas

TIB WORKSHOP
Jeoff Solas organized this Digital Marketing Workshop, and this will be on Nov 17 at the A venue Mall in Makati. Just read the details below to understand the importance of this workshop. This will be a good start for local businesses to learn more about digital marketing and how they can use it for their business and also to get ideas to apply it for their growth.

There are lots of materials online and free webinars discussing the use of digital marketing, but the question will start from you “if your business really needs it and be ready for it”, but if you don’t know yet the answer and want to learn more, I suggest you attend this digital marketing workshop, its just a 5 hours of lecture by 3 speakers, all info are juicy as they will provide lots of examples that happened in the marketing world.

Don’t press that button first, don’t put up your Facebook page if you don’t know how to use it, don’t ever post that your breakfast is tapsilog on your company owned Twitter account, don’t post your drunk photos on the net while you run an advocacy group about drunk driving, there are lot of things to learn and don’t be left behind as technology and social media are evolving so fast and while there are lots of soooooo expensive digital marketing workshop organized every year, why wait for another year? you can start here and then move forward with no hassle.

Goodbye to Multiply.com social networking


sad news...hay
Read the latest news from Multiply, they will start to remove their social networking features and content sharing, all media files and blogs will be deleted and Multiply will focus now in e-commerce.

----

Hello. Stefan here, writing you from Multiply HQ in Jakarta, Indonesia.

As most of you are probably aware, Multiply's mission has evolved over the past year and a half to become the biggest and most beloved ecommerce marketplace in two very exciting markets, Indonesia and the Philippines. As our focus has shifted, we have reviewed all of our operations, and made some decisions that will affect everyone here.

From December 1st, we will unfortunately no longer be able to support Multiply in its current form - notably we will be removing the social networking and content sharing part of Multiply (photos, videos, blogs, social messaging, etc.). We have decided to discontinue providing and hosting these services, as we have concluded that other Internet sites who are committed to social networking services will do a better job serving you than we can.

For our existing users of social networking features, we will be providing easy ways for you to either download your stuff (photos, blogs, content, etc), or migrate it to other online services. We'll announce the precise details shortly. It will be your choice whether to download, migrate or just let your content lapse (and get deleted).
For our existing ecommerce users (both buyers and sellers) in Indonesia and the Philippines, there will be no action required.
Regarding any existing Multiply Premium subscriptions we will refund any unused balance, and apologize for any inconvenience this will cause. Please contact customer service to request a refund. Note that this is for Multiply Premium, not the ecommerce related Multiply Trust product.

I am aware of how disruptive this news may be, and understand the disappointment that it may cause. Ultimately this was a business decision, critical to our to success moving forward. Instead, we are excited to pursue our own mission to give the 350 million consumers in Indonesia and the Philippines a great way to buy and sell items online. Our singular focus now is for Multiply to retain its status as a vibrant e-commerce destination in Southeast Asia in the years ahead.

I suspect that many of you will not like this news, and am sorry to have to deliver it now. I hope that you will be able to understand the reasons for our decision and thank you for being a part of the Multiply community over the past eight years.

Stef

I removed 300 friends in Facebook (sad face)

Sorry guys, I removed 300 Facebook friends an hour ago, because I already reached the Facebook limit of 5000 friends and then Facebook allowed me to add 300 plus more in my Facebook friend list. The problem that I encountered is that I need to add some important person to my timeline and that forces me to remove 300 inactive and unfamiliar person that I didn't engage with them online. I have a 2nd Facebook account, I created it to add more, but it seems that having two or more accounts is so difficult to manage, I tried operating the two accounts using with different browsers but the clicking made me stressed more, so I decided to to the unfriendling move.

If you  discovered that I already unfriended you, hope you understand and there's still a SUBSCRIBE button in my Facebook, that enables you to be still connected in my timeline. All my posts are set to public, so there's nothing to worry about if you missed an update or status or news that I shared,you can still be part of my network by subscribing to my Facebook.

I have the Facebook Page, but I don't use it much, there are times that I got the idea to convert my Facebook profile account into a Facebook page, just to accommodate more people to add me in their timeline, but I'm sure some people will get mad at me because I forced them already in becoming my Facebook fan hahhaha. But I didn't proceed in the transformation of my account and let it live as a Facebook profile account.

I hope Facebook let us add more friends and limit will be lifted.
