Review : Streaming Video Thru Your Web Enabled Mobile

Posted on December 15, 2007 by Dexter Panganiban

This is a Sponsored Post, But it does not mean that I will be biased in reviewing this product.

What is Avot mV

Avot mV is a live video streaming service for mobile Users. It aims to provide a high quality playback of any Web-enabled Mobile device. It is capable of having an intelligent content based search capability that incorporates your preferred Site.

What was my experience in using this application

At first entry to their site you will be asked to install their software and you will be asked to choose on what type of platform does your mobile support. The program was installed hassle free at my PDA. After that you have to run the program and view the main site.

I can say that the site load slow maybe it is because of the source Youtube, and if you are paying per kb in your usage this might not be a good application for you since Video on the Mobile Internet gets lot of Kb download. Like in Saudi Arabia it is around SR 0.005 / Kb of download unlike in Philippines you are being charged per minute of usage.

But if you are using a fixed amount for a certain usage regardless of download amount this might be good for you in checking You tube Videos using your mobile Phone or PDA.

You can use the search link at the page to be able to key in your keyword like for example ” Praise and Worship ” and it will then provide you their suggested video clips with your chosen keyword. So it is up to you to press and wait till it loads to your mobile. It is just same like in Normal PC.

The search result is great it is really relevant on the keyword.

What about their Main Page

While viewing the Product Site it only show the link to the mobile site and PC users. I would suggest that they should have made some explanation on how it works on that page a simple instruction will do in order for their newly find visitor be attracted on their site.

Where Can I Find More Information

You can check also their Blog and Corporate Site for updates regarding their product, By this you will be able to know on how they can achieve their promise of good service to Mobile User.

Special Citation

The site has been chosen as one of the apple ” staff pick ” .

Conclusion & Observations

I believe in the near future there will still be lots of improvement for this site. It is for the better of course. But I may say that their idea is unique since not many is into this kind of platform for the mobile. In fact they are the only application which I know at this moment who supply this kind of solution to the user.

It would be better if they could provide the play , Pause , Rewind button while it is viewing.

I don’t know if they will approved this review but it’s up to them. I just say What I feel I have to say.

My Ratified Rank

Posted on June 17, 2007 by Dexter Panganiban

google_ad_section_start–>

It is good to see that my technorati rank is becoming high. And in this case my ranking at ratified.org is also moving near the top Philippine Technology Site.

Ratified.org measures the top 100 blogs of the Philippine blogosphere Electro-charged by über-geeky Technorati data sprinkled with Feedburner stats.

At present my ratified rank is 49.. ( that was a great accomplishment ). But if the links to my site will not increase before the end of 6 months that ranking will decrease since Technorati is maintaining the rank for the span of only 6 months.

Thanks to my post regarding the Viral Link and my Do Follow tag post which made me on top. I am also checking my stats using Mypagerank.net.

My post regarding Adsense and SEO Tips also gives a good amount of visitors to my site.

Instant Calculator for your site

Posted on February 28, 2007 by Dexter Panganiban

google_ad_section_start–>

I have see a good Calculator tool for your blog. Most specially if you are having an Engineering blog. According to Kalid Azad who grew up near Boston and earned a degree in computer science from Princeton University with a minor in finance. He worked at Microsoft, becoming the first program manager to develop and implement Microsoft’s anti-spyware strategy. He created the classification system used to analyze spyware along technical, legal and business lines. This process was later adopted by the Anti-Spyware Coalition and recognized company-wide.

“InstaCalc is a vision for a fast, simple and powerful calculator”

A sample on how to this is shown below.

Results appear as you type. Edit in real-time.

Easier than Excel
Use readable numbers and equations.

Painless Sharing
Save a link or embed in your webpage. Readers can see your thoughts, update the numbers, and link to the new results. No logins, no hassles.
Explore
Try charts, programming and more.

And here is the sample on embedding this feature on your blog. I have adopted the HTML version although you can also use JAva version.

and Example input might be as follows using Pythagorean Theorem:

Row 1 : X = 5

Row 2 : Y = 10

Row 3 : (x^2+y^2)^(1/2)

It should give you and answer of 11.18033988

You could provide any mathematical equation you like. Even it is 3,4,5 and so on variables. It is cool that is why it caught my attention, As an Engineer this kind of application is very useful.

Digg’s count on your post?

Posted on February 26, 2007 by Dexter Panganiban

google_ad_section_start–>

How to make your digg count on your post and giving access to your reader to immidiately digg your post. Well, after seeing other bloggers do this. I have tried some experimentation how to do it and it goes like this.

1) Submit the blog post you have made to Digg so you could have the first count.

2) Then after submission to digg, Digg will give you a URL directing to the digg post that you have made

3) Copy the URL

4) Edit your post ( the one you have submitted to digg ) and incorporate this code

<div class=”entry”>
<div class=”snap_preview”>
<p><iframe style=”padding-right: 0pt; padding-left: 4px; background: rgb(255,255,255) 0% 50%; float: right; margin-bottom: 5px; padding-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 10px; padding-top: 4px; moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial” src=”http://digg.com/api/diggthis.php?u=http://digg.com/design/Digg_s_count_on_your_post“ frameborder=”0″ width=”55″ scrolling=”no” height=”82″></iframe></p>
<p> </p></div></div>

5) Change the URL in red with the URL you have copied in # 3. Then Publish

Then you have it the live count of your digg post. Hope this help. If you any other method let me know.

Riyadh leads WiFi way

Posted on February 19, 2007 by Dexter Panganiban

google_ad_section_start–>

It is reported by itp.net that Riyadh is the first city in Saudi Arabia to introduce WiFi Access.

Riyadh is expected to become the Kingdom’s first fully ‘smart’ city.
Riyadh looks set to become the first free ‘smart city’ in Saudi Arabia – and indeed the wider Middle East – according to officials speaking at the city’s first free-for-all WiFi hot spot launch yesterday.
At the unveiling of the new internet access zone on Prince Muhammad ibn Abdul Aziz Street, part of the city’s Smart Cities Forum event, the Deputy Governor of Riyadh claimed the city will become Saudi Arabia’s first full ‘smart city’, Arab News reported.
According to Smart Cities Forum’s organisers, the establishment of such smart cities in the Kingdom will in turn help the government improve its economic and security related performance.
The Governor of Saudi Telecommunications and IT, Mohammed Al-Suwaiyel, added that other major Saudi cities, such as Jeddah and Madinah, should also become smart cities, since both are now what he called “logistically ready“ for such a move.
As a result of yesterday’s launch, anyone in the Prince Muhammad ibn Abdul Aziz Street area with a wireless device such as a WiFi-ready notebook PC, smartphone or PDA, can access the internet quickly, easily and for free.
In addition to Prince Muhammad ibn Abdul Aziz Street’s new WiFi capability, IT hardware giant Intel also has a WiMAX broadband trial running on The Alia Street; the main downtown strip in Riyadh.
Speaking to Windows Middle East last month, Intel’s regional manager for government affairs, Abdul Rahman Jarrar, explained: “WiMAX there will be launching properly soon. We set-up WiMAX on that street, covering several kilometers, so that everyone from end users walking or sipping coffee to merchants can use this

I think this is a good indication that Saudi Arabia is also doing it’s best to cope up with the Technology.

Posted on February 16, 2007 by Dexter Panganiban

google_ad_section_start–>

There is a new Blog advertising network that I found out via Dosh Dosh post Bloglinkr – A Blog advertising network below is their blog explanation on how it works. Although as of this moment it is not yet started. But still by visiting their site you could input your details so that they may contact you when they release the beta.

What if you had advertising that your readers actually wanted to click on?
That’s exactly what they’ll get when you use bloglinkr…because all of the advertisers on bloglinkr are other blogs. You select the categories that you want your readers to see, and instead of content-less sales pitches and discounted products, your readers will see links to blogs in the categories you’ve selected …and you’ll get paid for each click. You’ll even get paid when people click ads on blogs that you’ve referred to bloglinkr.
You’ll get more click-throughs with bloglinkr because your readers will actually be interested in the content you want them to click on.
What if you could advertise your blog, increase your backlinks, raise your search engine position, and generate more traffic to your site at a price any blogger can afford?
We’re keeping bloglinkr ads cheap. That way you can get started on a minimal budget, and continue to market your blog month after month without having to have venture capital funding to make it happen. You’ll get more click-throughs and backlinks for your money with bloglinkr. Get started with as little as $25 and recieve hundreds of backlinks, clicks and visitors every month.

We will see what will this new application can do for us bloggers and net users.

Do you want to download Youtube Videos

Posted on February 5, 2007 by Dexter Panganiban

google_ad_section_start–>

A question on how to download youtube videos has been answered by youtubex.com . Below is an explanation on how to download the YouTube Videos:

After I download YouTube Videos how do I watch them?
When you download YouTube videos through YouTubeX, they are saved in the new.FLV (flash video) format. You will need to download a FREE FLV player to watch these YouTube files on your PC. You can also convert YouTube videos to other formats like .MPEG with a FREE FLV converter.

What does YouTubeX.com do for me?
YouTube.com is an excellent website that allows you to view saved videos on their servers. Unfortunately YouTube doesn’t allow you to download these videos. YouTubeX.com allows you to save YouTubeX videos and download YouTubeX videos easily using only your IE or firefox browser.

How do I save YouTube Videos?
- Browse for the videos at YouTube.com
- Copy and Paste the URL of the YouTube video into the form above.
- Click “DOWNLOAD” to save the YouTube file to your PC.
- Rename the YouTube file with a .flv extension if necessary.

Now the next question will be. How to convert it to mpeg format ? That we have to find out

google_ad_section_start–>

What a coincidence the latest review of Techcrunch with regards to Online Photo editing is being questioned by franticindustries.com when I see both post. Yes there are some similarity. Bit I think this is just a coincidence or maybe Picnik emailed both of them about the launching news and of course the first thing that a blogger will do is to compare it to the existing one. But thanks to both of them for the nice blogpost that they have made. But if who do you think got it first?
