Just installed a new open source software – Sweetcron on ChristianCabuay.com. My initial impressions are that it’s good. However, I’m a spoiled Wordpress user. While I realize that Sweetcron is still on beta 1.06, I’m anxious to get all the bugs axed and basic functionality in place.
I’ve been looking for an alternative place to host my videos. I will still post on youtube because they are still the king of online video. Vimeo stands out from the competition but they only accept non-commercial work. As expected, there’s a great debate as to what is commercial and what isn’t.
As long as the content is not commercial in intent (actively selling a product) then you are welcome to upload commercials you have made to Vimeo. We just don’t allow companies like Nike to upload commercials that are trying to sell a product.
But if you make a Nike commercial, you can post it. Big contradiction….
I posted this as I want to show off my screencasts:
After reading every post in this thread, I still don’t get it. I see “actively selling” is a no go but reviewing products vimeo.com/1574928 is cool? I know they are not selling the product but there’s an indirect commercial intent there. They review goods and get paid via traffic on their site, sponsorships, etc.
If I develop a new feature on my site and post a screencast, I believe that it will be accepted based on your guidelines I am showing off/selling my skills/site. Although the feature is free, I will probably make some $ via people clicking on my ads.
I post a video of my dog and post it on my dog lovers site, that is commercial.
Looks like as long as I don’t say “Buy this”, I’m good….or am I?
Anyway, I hope to use their service as the interface and quality is slick. Below is a video of my favorite web celebs – Meghan Asha (gee, I wonder why).

This caught my eye today at the store. As you can see they are $3.99 and Mint Chocolate. It reminded me about a lot of online business models of having a low-cost or free version of their product and have a “premium” version.
I experimented with this Free and Premium business model on PinoyTattoos.com where I offered free Baybayin translations for names and charged for non-names. I think it was pretty successful as I was able to do away with the free product. With the only free product being the blog, I think I need another free product to give back to the community.
I’m in the market for a tablet UMPC. I already have an HP Pavillion tx1308nr tablet notebook that’s pretty good after I upgraded the ram to 2GB. I need something like my HP but portable. I was thinking of the Sony UX but I don’t want to pay $2000. I’m leaning towards the Fujitsu U810. I would mainly use it to answer emails and design Baybayin while on Bart. I just read that a U820 is coming out soon but I don’t know when. I bet it will be $$$$. Too bad the Asus EEE PC does not have a tablet…..yet.
Visit the Wordcamp Philippines site for more info. Congrats to the organizers. I’ll be posting the whole State of the Word soon….
The shirts at this years SF Wordcamp was brown w/ baby blue logo. Not that good compared to these below….
One of my favorite talks of the day was presented by Stephen O’Grady at Wordpress Wordcamp SF 2008.
It’s a Wordpress moleskine! I got it for sticking a Wordpress temp tattoo on my Buddha tattoo.
