29 Feb This post is from from my other blog here digg_url = 'http://hyveup.blogspot.com/2008/02/dells-viral-ad-campaign-cheap.html'Dell is launching its new "viral" video campaign targeting the US male +25. Retro atmosphere, old disgusting executives, a clueless boss, one hot chick and a bright geek. So classic, it's not funny anymore.I picture the advertising team that made the campaign exactly the same as the team that is portrayed in the video, with a greasy boss, loud execs and a mamasita laughing as if something was climbing up her legs.The funniest? Viral agents (like me right now) get paid a mere 5 cents per view. So if you click on the video, it won't even pay ... Click here to read the entire blog post
28 Feb This post is from from my other blog here digg_url = 'http://hyveup.blogspot.com/2008/02/share-your-documents-with-world-trip.html'Up until now, I didn't quite know what to do with my old .doc and .pdf documents. They are high school or college papers, corporate documentation, or simply free written artistic work. I would just let it sit there and not delete it, thinking that it could always come in handy.  That's where Scribd steps in. Yesterday, I met and interviewed Trip Adler, one of the founders and the CEO of Scribd. The atmosphere in Scribd's San Francisco downtown offices is very laid back; it is a company composed of young minds conveniently sitting on top of a potential ...Click here to read the entire blog post
27 Feb This post is from from my other blog here digg_url = 'http://hyveup.blogspot.com/2008/02/promotional-film-distribution-through.html'Facebook is releasing Film On Facebook, a new app for film makers (collaterally to launching Music on Facebook)  This new app will help Facebook compete more aggressively against Myspace which was originally built for music creators to promote themselves online and which has become a top performer in video advertising.The app seems to perfectly cater to film-makers promotional needs. As Kristen Nicole writes in Mashable:One thing Facebook has managed to do much better than most web-based social utilities is disperse information.

27 Feb This post is from from my other blog here digg_url = 'http://hyveup.blogspot.com/2008/02/pop-17-hits-1-view.html'As seen on Techcrunch, a new daily Webshow has been launched on the Mogulus network. The show will be covering the Web's micro-celebrities such as Mark Zuckerberg or Robert Scoble.Sounde like a good idea. You can find a short bio of Sarah Meyers here, the host of the show.

26 Feb This post is from from my other blog here submit_url = 'http://hyveup.blogspot.com/2008/02/feeds-overload-interview-with-manoj.html';Thanks to feeds, I get to subscribe to all the content I want online. As soon as I like the way a blogger writes, or because I like the company he works for, then Bing! I slurp the feed into my reader. It's so convenient that I tend to repeat this process a little bit too much. And obviously, there comes a time when all those subscriptions become a pain to follow and manage.

25 Feb This post is from from my other blog here submit_url = 'http://hyveup.blogspot.com/2008/02/directory-versus-platform-why-i-love.html';Believe it or not, the two get mixed up sometimes. Why? Because both bottle up information in a database-like structure. It becomes a different tool depending on what it is requested to do.A directory is a database of information: You send requests and the directory retrieves this information for you automatically.A platform is an information-distributed entity: It sends and receive data in a dynamic manner.  To take an easy example, let's look at the Techcrunch's Crunchbase.Before, the Crunchbase was only a directory. Visitors to the site could search companies by name or keyword. Basically, visitors had to go inside ...Click here to read the entire blog post

21 Feb This post is from from my other blog here With the FCC too slow on taking a decision, Google takes a shortcut, as reported on the Wall Street Journal (then Gigaom, then Techcrunch) , and looks at buying Space Data Corp.

Is it effective? What are the best ways for PR practitioners to leverage new media in message dissemination?Too bad I couldn't get the name of this delicious looking wine.

Bad news, it doesn't make money. Google has paid the price with Myspace. The conclusion is that the 2.0 is not the dotcom era. Not everyone with a few million visitors can make bank.

I don't see any Jotts anywhere anymore.  Seriously, I'm curious. I'm meeting Sim from Utterz this afternoon, and would love to ask him if they consider Jott as direct competition.

Also, the new Crunchbase comes with an embeddable widget that bloggers can post on related posts and get a link back on the Crunchbase page of the company covered.I think that this widget strategy is great.

11 Feb This post is from from my other blog here All the great blogs out there have one thing in common: They have several writers. Techcrunch, Readwriteweb, obviously the Cnet Network blogs, and so on. The reason for this is obvious: More content, a variety of themes, opinions and expertise, and heavy SEO advantages from blog networking.A very small number of co-authoring blogs (except enormous networks like Cnet) dare to diversify their blog content to grow their audience. The risk with diversifying is to lose the attention of the niche where you are well-ranked. If your blog is Social Media marketing oriented, and you start talking about PHP occurrences, you ...

The reason there are no newer versions is that HTML has been deprecated in favor to XHTML, itself meant to be a transition to the ultimate SGML Web descendant: XML Yet, ten years after its last update, HTML 4 is still around and used by Web key players such as Google to code their pages. Does that mean Google did not hire new presentation developers in a decade? Not even! Google is still hiring, and the evolution of markups has taken place in the ...

06 Feb This post is from from my other blog here PHP uses Perl syntax to manipulate regular expressions - so does JavaScript, with a different approach. If you are coming from PHP backgrounds, here are three tips to keep in mind when coding your first searches in JavaScript. Basic FunctionsIn PHP, you use mostly preg_match ( $search, $here) and preg_replace ( $search , $replace , $here ). In JavaScript, use the following methods var someText="My favorite food is pizza and dried mangoes" if(someText.match(/pizza/)alert(someText.replace(/pizza/, 'hot dog')) Output:outputs: My favorite food is hot dog and dried mangoes// If you want o insert a JavaScript variable in the expression, use the RegExp Object. user_input=document.getElementByTagsName('input')[0].value check_user=new RegExp ( user_input ) if(document.getElementsByTagName("p")[3].match(check_user)
