Google gets OMNISIO

Omnisio, a video creation, sharing and presentation site was acquired by Google. They will be joining the YOUTUBE team, and soon use their knowledge and ideas for the Youtube community to be more interactive and innovative in products and feature.



Omnisio's acquisition statement says "We are thrilled to announce that we've been acquired by Google and will soon be joining the YouTube team, aligning us with the market leaders in online video. Together we'll apply what we've learned about the space, and we'll work to develop innovative products and features for the YouTube community. We believe we've only scratched the surface in terms of what's possible with online video, and we are really looking forward to taking the video viewing -- and creating -- experience to the next level."

I am not wondering sooner and later, GOOGLE will cover the internet envelop!

Well, me i do not know what it is..LOL..



btw, according to PLURK's site,

Noun. plurk (plüer-kh) - A really snazzy site that allows you to showcase the events that make up your life in deliciously digestible chunks. Low in fat, 5 calories per serving, yet chock full of goodness.

Verb. plurk (plüer-kh) - To chronicle the events of your always on, action-packed, storybook, semi-charmed kinda life.

according to WIKI answer;

"Plurk at the core is a micro-blogging site that allows users to post short messages similar to instant messaging, but charts the messages based on a time-line. The format is becoming increasingly popular with sites like Twitter and FriendFeed becoming more mainstream."

according to blahblahtech.com;

"Plurk is more than a Twitter clone. Plurk is themed IM (Instant Messaging) for groups of people spread out on a time line"

and according to the great technology blogger: TANOM:

"Plurk is just like twitter, i used it to spread my blog news and updates..LOL"

why join PLURK? there are many reasons to join, one of those are you can make me one of your PULRKADAS here... see me THERE!

Bill Gates goodbye in tech-ed keynote



Bill Gates keynote at Tech·Ed Developers conference at Orlando served as a preview of some of Microsoft's soon to be released technology. Some of the mentioned technologies/data oriented products were; the go live edition of silverlight 2, a new data caching technology and a partnership with IBM, the first Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Velocity, a distributed in-memory application cache platform, and a CTP of the Microsoft Sync Framework for Windows Mobile.

“When I think back on the early days of development when we were all programming in DOS, and then take a look at what we can do now with technologies like the .NET Framework, it simply amazes me how far we’ve come,” Gates stated.

He humbly finished the speech and got off the stage with polite applause from the audience.

They are working around the clock to get their data center back online, and we are hoping that they get it back online fast.Thank you for your pateince and understanding with this rare and frustrating problem. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing we can do but wait for The Planet to get their datacenter back online.Please check back with Entrecard in 12 to 24 hours.

Twitter, buzzes Online world

First of all, i am not into web development, eventhough i am a newbie blogger (a 1 year in blog? still considering myself as newbie..lol)
But want to share this idea to those who still do not know about Twitter.
As define from twitter itself, It is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Bloggers can use it as a mini-blogging tool



For blogger like me, there are many definitions we can think of but as of now, i define Twitter as:
:140 characters mini blogging
:its a minute online talking for self and friends updates
:creating and expanding online circle of friends
:it will make you a better editorial writer, the briefer the words the better.
:one way of promoting and advertising your blog..LOL

So what's with TWITTER? This cool web application topped some of the Technology news sites last 8 days ago when some of the users or i may say twitterers including ME encountered problem asking why they are always get disconnected and get some error call outs. The reason is that Twitter have encountered Database failure and they are on the process of recovery until yesterday, when Twitter official representative, Jason Goldman, in their support Forum officially stated:

"We are coming back to life now - the recovery took a bit longer than anticipated.
With outages of this type, there is impaired performance after the database recovers. Essentially, it needs to be restored by handling incoming traffic but it takes a while to catch up with demand.
This process is concluding now but the site will be slow for a while longer."


Hmmm... do i hear the word SLOW? Anyways, every applications whether online or not, needs to have more testing or i may say development for it to be reliable and stable. so long live TWITTER! follow me NOW!
