More microblogging away from the traditional blogging platforms perhaps but definitely not slowing down.

Google Announces New “Interest-Based” Approach to Online Advertising
MaximumpC writes: “Google’s adverts have long been a prevalent part of surfing the net. While the ads that we normally see on blogs featuring AdSense and the text based ads on the sidebar of our Google search page seem like they’re looking out for us, the powers that be at Google are planning to make these ads a bit more sophisticated.”
Advertising Manager for Wordpress
OpenX has released information on their new project named Advertising Manager for Wordpress. What is it?
Advertising Manager manages your Google Adsense and other ad network accounts, and allows you to easily place the ads either within your Wordpress blog posts, or within your Wordpress theme.
It is a new application which allows Wordpress users to easily manage their ads inside the Wordpress admin console, without the need to consistently modifying your code, or managing a separate application, when you need to change your ads. Perfect for those running a lot of ads on a variety of sites.
Question is: how much additional load will this be on your server as you can opt to use google’s ad manager instead….?
Tulay Project
I recently was invited by Mr. Carlo Ople to join a mini anniversary celebration slash dinner of TULAY, a joint project by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration/OWWA and the Blas F. Ople Foundation.
The TULAY project started in 2004 and offers computer literacy courses to dependents of overseas Filipino workers. According to Labor Secretary Roque. “It has led to the empowerment of thousands of overseas workers and we intend to sustain and strengthen this computer literacy program by constantly updating our software and hardware for the benefit of our OFWs and their families.”
Recent graduates of the program spoke highly of the Tulay instructors and what enhancing their computer literacy did for their personal and professional lives. Let me share some of the inspiring stories during the Tulay celebration dinner:

NTC to require license before posting content online?
The NTC wants to require license for persons and entities just to create and post content online. You have got to be kidding me. LOL. Kakahiya naman ito for Filipinos.
Mike Abundo writes that: “Yes, you read that right. The Philippine government wants to require licenses for people to create and post content online. Under the proposal’s extremely broad definition of a content developer, you would need a license just to comment on this post.
This is the most unenforceable proposal I have ever seen. What are they going to do, require five million Filipino Friendster users to get a license before posting pictures? This proposal clearly comes from the outdated mindset that only corporations can develop content.”
My Opinion? Ang talino naman ng nakaisip nito *end sarcasm*
