Nokia Ovi’s Tagalog Adsense ad is funny
May 27, 2008
While checking my Gmail inbox last weekend, a Google Adsense advertisement of Nokia’s media sharing site Ovi.com appeared.
The ad was written in Tagalog. The reason, obviously, is to attract more of the target Filipino audience to click on the ad and eventually try Nokia’s site to upload their photos, videos, and other media.
What’s interesting, though, is how the ad was phrased. It seems like it was translated from English either using a crude Translator Tool or by a person who is not that fluent in the Filipino language.
Take a look.

Uploading a video on Flickr
April 9, 2008
Woohoo! The wait is over. Photo sharing site Flickr finally supports video upload and hosting.
When I opted for a Flickr Pro Account exactly a year ago, I knew videos was up next. Flickr is, at least for me and for some people, the best photo upload and sharing site ever. It’s only a matter of time before they leverage that expertise to videos.
And now it happened: Flickr has launched videos.
