Piclyf: Another Social Craze to Watch For


Hey there!

After I attended the Mindanao Conference for I.T. Students 2010 last 03 December 2010 at the University of the Immaculate Conception - Bankerohan (happy fiesta!), I was briefed with what I will expect to get into after I finish my studies in my chosen degree program.

Interestingly, I had the opportunity to use a social software that was shared by one of the speakers of the event. Eric Su, co-founder of the company that makes this particular service, shared to us about what do we have to do to ensure our survival as we pursue our careers.

While doing that, he plugged-in the social service he is proud having - PicLyf. It's a photo-sharing service which lets you share, tag, and note photos and distribute it to social networking and blogging platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, Blogger and Wordpress.


The home page tells you their strategy directly: It's fun, It's fast, It's better. While many social services say so, people can't tell the difference between fast and fun. PicLyf ensures connectivity between many services you usually use and it does that in a few steps, which is indeed fast and fun.

The Dashboard interface itself maybe cluttered, but it gives you an urge to follow people.
The Dashboard gives you updates of users of PicLyf and what photos they have been sharing. Although it looks cluttered, it gives you urges to see more of those pictures, and what stories they are telling in these.

The Editor is very useful, since it lets you do four choices: upload a photo, take a webcam shot, link a photo's URL or (behold) doodle! You can doodle scribbles to bring out the kid in you.


When the photo is posted, people can comment, share on Facebook, Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon and e-mail. This is one way to ensure you get followed.

Users from the Univesity of Southeastern Philippines have been booming after Eric shared this at a seminar held there, and hopefully after the MCITS, many others (including me from UP Mindanao) will use this service too.


Hey, won't you try PicLyf? Go to www.piclyf.com to explore and have fun!

This is one social craze that people should not miss! Check it out today!

LOOK AT THIS!: Venta5, A Great TV Shopping Hit

Image
Look, ABC5's got something new! It's the newest - the first and the only locally-produced interactive TV shopping show, Venta5 (pronounced /vehn-tah-sing-koh/ ) It features products that cannot be found anywhere else, at the fraction of the cost. One of the best sellers of Venta5 is the Iron Mate Economizer , a Filipino invention. This cuts electric consumption produced by flat irons by over 50%. Isn't that amazing? Just put your flat iron on it and it automatically shuts off the power supply, but it preserves the heat of the iron. Another one is the Mini Spin Twin Tub Washing Machine. It is a twin tub washing machine, but it is half the size (and the price!) of regular washing machines. Great for condominiums, apartments and dormitories. Next is another Pinoy invention, the QB Stove . A very elegant but economical stove that uses charcoal as its fuel. Isn't that good? Want more of the specs of the products shown? Wanna see more amazing products? Watch Venta5, Monday-Sa

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Image
Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with

Freedom From Lies With Hatred: Contamination From Deceitful Content Against The Church And How I Dealt It With The Truth

Image
As an advocate of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), I am very much knowledgeable of the effects of having to deal with fake news, disinformation, and other forms of manipulation of media and information in our society. I am thankful that I have been connected with an organization that advocates MIL and helps educators deliver the best practices for dealing with the media and information ecosystem in the country. Maria Ressa (Source: PBS.org) In the many years of being a Christian, I was tricked on social media to believe lies about the church, and there I would like to share what just came into my mind about lies laced with anger and hatred. I remembered the documentary "A Thousand Cuts" in 2020 featuring Rappler CEO and Nobel Prize laureate Maria Ressa about what she had discovered about the problems with the information ecosystem in the Philippines and why it has become a primary target of disinformation syndicates. Ms. Ressa said in the documentary, to wit: " Face
