Video editing and sharing site Jumpcut is now a part of Yahoo Social Media after flickr (photo sharing) and del.icio.us (social bookmarking).
So we now have Google Video, Microsoft Live SoapBox, Yahoo Jumpcut. Who will acquire YouTube?

The Pinoy blogging community is slowing down because of SMART/PLDT’s fixed wireless broadband service troubles. But since I’m using the Vibe Tipid version that goes well with my already slow and old computer, I’m used to the usual lag. I just woke up and realized that I haven’t really published a page using Google Page Creator yet. Tough luck the slow connection + slow computer combo won’t budge. So I had to restart the self assembled machine.
Lucky me I found where they had relocated Hunt’s SnackPack Chocolate Caramel Pudding at the SM Supermarket the last time I bought food supplies. It’s no longer alongside the expensive puddings, cheese and yogurts. Kapitbahay na niya ngayon ang mga ready-to-eat gelatin for kids. Haha.
Why is Yahoo’s ad revenues going down? I always thought Google earns more during the last four months of the year. Online ad spending goes up to coincide with end-of-the-year online consumer spending. So talo na talaga ng Google AdWords ang Yahoo whatever?
ADHD is linked to prenatal smoking and lead exposure. Although genetics is still the main factor, magiging kiti-kiti pala ang iyong mga anak pag yosi mom ka. Di ba minsan, naisip na nila na baka may koneksyon ang (United American) Tiki Tiki (for baby) sa hyperactivity? Ritalin, baby. Tsaka overexposure ng mga babies sa TV.
Soapbox is Microsoft’s answer to YouTube.
Soapbox is being launched as an adjunct to the Microsoft Video download service. It will enable users to upload videos in various formats, assign categories to them and share them with others. Viewers will be able to browse through the 15 categories, find related videos, subscribe to RSS feeds, and share their favourites with their friends, while watching a video, another key differentiator from YouTube.
MSN Video already claims to be watched by more than 11 million unique users per month. According to Nielsen NetRatings, YouTube has nearly 20 million unique users per month. But both these figures are dwarfed by the number of MSN users - more than 465 million per month worldwide.
It remains to be seen exactly what Microsoft means when it promises that “Soapbox…will be deeply integrated throughout Microsoft’s portfolio of online services, including Windows Live Spaces and Windows Live Messenger,” but this has the potential to give it a huge advantage that stand-alone YouTube will have to work hard to match.
The beta of Soapbox on MSN Video is being made available on an invitation-only basis in the US.

Nora Aunor goes digital
Manila Standard Today article by Ricky CalderonSuperstar Nora Aunor’s latest movie titled Care Home premiered at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco recently. This is a movie shot using hand-held mini-DV camcorders. The advent of digital movies somehow changed the landscape of Philippine cinema since last year because of their cheaper costs.
Nora did Care Home while the Filipino superstar was undergoing behavior modification program in Los Angeles, in connection with her arrest at the Los Angeles Airport last year because of allegedly carrying a banned substance.
The movie is about a Filipino caregiver who decides to place her mother in the care home where she works. Mother-and-daughter conflict ensues as the mother feels unloved and rejected while the daughter bears the pain inflicted by her decision.
The movie also stars Gloria Sevilla, who co-starred with Nora in some of her most important movies like Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamu and The Flor Contemplacion Story. Also in the cast are Divina Valencia, Rebecca, Dranreb Belleza, Lailani Navarro, Juni Ranillo, Germaine de Leon Padilla, and Jo Awayan.
Suzette, who co-wrote and directed the movie, is confident the movie will be well-received not only by Nora Aunor fans but by majority of Filipinos in America who are all working hard for their families back home in the Philippines.
A group of Noranians are now working to drumbeat interest for Care Home in the San Francisco area. For booking, inquiries, call 1-650-834-1006 or go to www.carehomethemovie.com.
By the way, is it true that Nora is doing a new movie in the US with, hold your breath, John Rendez as leading man? She also reportedly shot a TV commercial on real estate that is being shown on The Filipino Channel.

Sep 18, 2006 03:10 PMMusic from Paul Simon, Madonna and Red Hot Chili Peppers will become legally available on the YouTube Inc. Web site. Warner Music Group Corp. said Monday it stuck a deal with the video-hosting Web site to distribute its music video library from a roaster of artists.
The deal allows millions of people who upload their homemade videos to the San Mateo, Calif.-based Web site to license Warner Music’s songs. The pact helps the music label distribute videos, behind-the-scenes footage, artist interviews and original programming.
The two companies plan to begin sharing ad revenue derived from site ads placed next to Warner Music’s content by the end of this year.
We also have AOL Video (a Time Warner subsidiary) that is powered by Truveo and SingingFish which it acquired in 2006 and 2004 respectively.
MySpace is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp since 2006.
Buntis na si Kris Aquino. Syempre si James Yap ang ama ng bata. Matagal na silang ikinasal sa Hong Kong di ba?
‘Bakekang’ revolves around women’s insecurities — hindi sila ganon kaganda, maganda sila pero di sila mahal ng mahal nila — well, at least women who revolve around the attention of a man. Magagawan nila kaya ito ng paraan para mat post-feminist twist sa TV remake. Sana..
Bakekang is every woman
Manila Times article by Rome Jorge
Monday, September 11, 2006
Bakekang is an avid movie fan who falls for a celebrity named Christoph. She endures the spite of his mean-spirited girlfriend Valeria. Both Bakekang and Valeria later give birth to daughters who then continue their mother’s fight. Bakekang has two: the beautiful yet Kristal and the unglamorous yet talented Charming. She becomes a stagemother who dotes on Kristal but ignores Charming. Both daughters have to go against Lorraine, who is Valeria’s daughter and Kristal’s archrival. Like their mothers, they also compete for the affections of the same men who must decide whether to love the beauty without or the beauty within.
