Tumblr is so Disappointing! @tumblr

Image
I inquire about this certain blog that circulated around the network and ask for assistance from Tumblr. The post (you have already seen it, i guess) are too arrogant. Stealing someone else's photos and making fun of them. Then, some familiar faces (though the poster blurred it) were posted captioning it to make it more funny. So, this is the cyberworld. Grab someone else's photos and make fun of them....After that, you and your blog will become famous because you have insulted someone you didn't even know. I guess my only recommendation for you victims is to write to Tumblr and air your sentiments (abuse@tumblr.com). And, set your social network into PRIVATE OR FRIENDS ONLY. If you would like to show off, then, it's up to you :) I would better read some interesting articles rather than laughing on someone else's. Sigh. CYBER BULLYING AT ITS BEST, THANK YOU TUMBLR FOR ALLOWING IT PS: THIS IS JUST MY TWO CENTS. GOD BLESS EVERYONE

Trick or Treat!

Image
It's Halloween time, kids are excited for their 'trick or treat' adventure in their community. Before we let our kids go out, we must ensure their safety and below are some of my recommendations: Kids (below 12) should be accompany by an adult Always check your kids' costume. Make sure the costumes they are wearing are comfortable and safe to wear. Remind your kids not to run and walk slowly. Be careful in crossing the street and use crosswalks when possible. They (kids) should have a curfew, check your community schedule for assistance. Usually trick or treat started in the afternoon at 3pm and ended at 8pm Never enter inside the houses, or abandoned buildings. Parents or Guardians should check the candies before eaten (it should be sealed). My community has its own guidelines, you may browse here for additional inputs: http://www.vniles.com/Content/templates/?a=5321 Happy Halloween!

Blogapalooza 2013: When Business meets Bloggers and vice versa

Image
That was during in 2011 when Blogapalooza was held . Introducing businesses to bloggers and have an instant connection through the use of blogging and social media as medium. Now, am glad that Blogapalooza is back! Giving more opportunity to other businesses to discover the power of digital advertising and allowing bloggers to learn more about their products and services. If are new into blogging and wanted to expand your connections, Blogapalooza will teach you how. But I advised you to focus more into your niche (your interests) and don't jumped into conclusions that you can able to promote something without learning, that is a big no no. Or better communicate with the 'experienced' bloggers you have known personally or met online. Be careful on people you trust and same with the 'offers' come along your way. Sometimes, we bloggers become obsessed on some privileges we have experienced but from my point of view, you still have to learn (in a professional way) lik

What Most Schools Don't Teach - A Very Inspirational Video

Computer programming is really not my forte but I have learned basic HTMLs/coding in school and self-study. I attended both free and paid basic coding 101 during my College years and it helped a lot to understand how coding works. A blinking "Hello World" was my first coding experience (It was remarkable!). Until today I keep on reading to know and discover more about the new programs like CMS (it really helped a lot to understand the code specially when tweaking my blog and installing widgets hehe). This was an old video, but very inspirational. I was surprised to found out that Will.I.Am is studying on how to code (Anyone can learn how to code including Superstars LOL). A shout out to all Computer Programmers / Web Developers all over the world, You are all born genius. LOL. Cheers! How about you? What was your first coding experience? Everybody in this country should learn to program a computer… because it teaches you how to think. -Steve Jobs About the clip Learn about a

Google's new algorithm called Hummingbird

Image
This is the biggest leap of Google upon reading what is Hummingbird algorithm update is all about, I was wondering if this is the old 'Caffeine' or just a part of Panda Penguin? Don't worry too much bloggers / webmasters, this is just a major update from Google after 15 years of serving as a major Search Engine. So, are there any complications specially people nowadays are keep on using too much keywords, tags and hashtags when posting online? Will the searches be more relevant? and so forth questions on some queries? The answer is simple, Hummingbird according to Wikipedia is one of the smallest birds but can rapidly flap their wings 12-80 times per second and Google would like to give you more precise and fast search results. Another thing, Google said Hummingbird will be paying more attention to each word in every query. Meaning, their goal is to match the results rather than giving you tons of pages which are irrelevant. Now, Google will be lesser dependent on each keyw
