Hi Anton!

I saw my blog on Anton’s webinar screen. Slipping in a quick blog. Hehehe.

Welcome back Tiffany!

Key Recommendations of Anton for improving Technobiography:

• Choose Mobile Technology as a niche. Could be a very successful niche.
• Improve tagline to reflect mobile technology as a niche.
• De-clutter the sidebar. Most people look for content and not the sidebar.

Thanks for your inputs, Anton!

Here’s a recent email from Anton regarding the Maven Secrets program:

Live Streaming Videos via Mobile: A Qik Guide

Ateneo celebrated its 150th anniversary last Sunday, June 14. There was a whole-day program involving a motorcade passing through the Ateneo campuses in Manila, with programs in key campuses along the itinerary. Visit: http://150.ateneo.edu

Throughout the day, Ateneo had ten videographers covering the event through live mobile video streaming enabled by the Smart network using an online video service called QIK (www.qik.com) .

Ateneo Sesqui mobile videos

The interesting thing is that in the Ateneo Sesqui group on qik, videos from different handsets were being streamed in sequence, like a relay race. Thus, online visitors got to watch the celebration LIVE on their computers from the different viewpoints of each videographer.

Results:

• Ateneo Sesqui videos: http://www.qik.com/groups/5194
• Quezon City, Philippines
• Videos: 204
• Views: 4142 (as of June 17 afternoon)
• Total time filmed: 05:43:51

Twitter twrash twalking

I was exchanging SMS messages one time with a twitter buddy. Towards the end of our SMS conversation, we were each having our laughs with our (t)witty exchange.

Note before I share: For folks not yet familiar with Twitter, it’s twypical (typical) for tweeps (peeps, short for people) to modify words or prefix words or some consonants with “tw”.

Here’s the twalk that twappens when two twitter folks twext each other…

• ka_edong: “tweet you later, twalligator!”
  • twitter buddy: “twokay.”
• ka_edong: “twalang twhiya, twahat twnalang! twhetwhetwhe!”
  • tb: “Twyou twarted twit! Twahaha :p shyet, ang hirap pumigil ng twawa dito!”
• ka_edong: “twhahaha! nag-mukha ka ring baliw twulad ko?”
  • tb: “Twinabi mo! LOL”
• ka_edong: “TOT! Twaughing out Twoud! Twama na nga!”
  • tb: ” :p “
• ka_edong: ” tw:p “

Share your twitter twalk . Whether in english, twagalog or twaglish.
And lets all twaugh out twoud!

iBlog5 Postscript – of Mobile Blogging and the Elections

I gave a talk at iBlog5 yesterday about Mobile Blogging 101. It was nice. Short and sweet. Simple. Spontaneous. I liked the interaction we got with the audience.

Update: See online video here c/o Janette: Mobile Blogging by Edwin 1/2 (2/2)

And, as usual, there were a few inputs that I had planned to give, but was not able to say it right there. I also got some good feedback from the audience and I’d like to clarify their questions and share it to readers. Good thing I can still put out these inputs through my blog .

For my iBlog5 postcript, I’d like to share my beginnings as a mobile blogger, my story about mobile blogging in the 2004 elections, my support for blogging (and mobile blogging) for the 2010 elections as well as a few thank you notes.
