PinoyBlogoSphere.com - From Vigan to a Newspaper and finally to the Courts: Copyright Infringement
June 11, 2008
Here’s an interesting story concerning a pinoy photoblogger…
It all started with this post:
Visiting Vigan
“The travel bug bit me again!…” …”Just got back from Vigan…”
Then came the violation:
Major Daily Violates Photographer¢s Copyright and Intellectual Property
…”the MB Feature of Vigan by MAX BALLESTEROS (march 21, 2007 B-5)…”
And now…
Philippine Photographer Sues Major Daily for Copyright Infringement.
“I finally did it.. with the help of my copyright lawyer atty vera. i sued a major daily, a 108 year old newspaper that used my photo without permission. The same newspaper that threatened to slap me with a criminal case if continued my claim.”
What’s next? coming soon… 
This is an issue that bloggers should really be vigilant about, right? I guess this hasn’t been the only instance of violations done against bloggers by the main stream media. Just a guess hehe. Maybe there were others that haven’t been noticed or maybe have been noticed but never been raised. Just maybe. It’s a good thing that someone already stood up and brought the issue forward. We will surely learn from this issue as it unfolds. Let’s just hope that justice will be served.
Do you know any other instances of violations done against fellow pinoy bloggers?

PinoyBlogoSphere.com - possible WordPress killer
June 10, 2008
Meron ba sa inyong gumagamit na ng BlogEngine.net? Kumusta naman? :) Mukhang magiging kalaban ‘to ng WordPress ah hehehe. Isa pa lang ang nakita kong gumagamit… si Icy ng PinoyWebDeveloper.com
BlogEngine.NET is an open source .NET blogging project that was born out of desire for a better blog platform. A blog platform with less complexity, easy customization, and one that takes advantage of the latest .NET features.
BlogEngine.NET was designed using the current .NET framework and focused on simplicity, ease of extendibility, and innovative features. With BlogEngine.NET, we hope to create the natural blog of choice for all .NET developers world wide.
Ok nga kaya ‘to? hmmm…
Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions about BlogEngine.NET. For more detailed documentation you can always visit the Wiki or check out the docs.
Q: Is BlogEngine.NET open source and completely free?
A: Yes. BlogEngine.NET is build by passionate developers who have too much spare time, just to make an open source blog engine to give away absolutely free.Q: Is my mother able to use it?
A: Yes. We have gone to great lengths to make BlogEngine.NET as easy as possible to use – both from an end user as well as a developer or theme designer’s point of view.Q: What are the demands for the web server?
A: The only thing needed to run BlogEngine.NET is a web server that support ASP.NET 2.0 and write permissions on the App_Data folder.Q: What database is it running on?
A: None. BlogEngine.NET uses XML to store all posts, pages etc. by default. If you prefer to use a database, a SQL Server provider is included. You can find information about how to set up the SQL Server provider on our Wiki. For any other databases, you can write your own provider, which is very easy and simple to do.Q: Can I customize the design of the blog?
A: Yes. If you don’t like the themes provided with BlogEngine.NET, you can change one so it matches your needs or create a new one from scratch. It requires only basic knowledge about ASP.NET and HTML to create a theme. Read more on theme creation/modification here.Q: I have trouble. Can you help out?
A: Yes, as long as the trouble is BlogEngine.NET related. For information about the use of BlogEngine.NET or how to create themes, you can find almost everything you need at our Wiki. If you want to create extensions and need detailed code documentation, check out the BlogEngine.NET docs.Q: How is BlogEngine.NET licensed?
A: BlogEngine.NET is licensed under the Microsoft Permissive License, which basically means that you can do anything you want to the source code as long as you release it under the same license.Q: I want to contribute to BlogEngine.NET. What do I do?
A: We welcome anybody who wants to contribute. Please read our contribute page to find out how you can get involved.

PinoyBlogoSphere.com - Open Comments Workgroup - Now Online
June 9, 2008
If you are a blogger, a website owner, or a commenter, you may have notice how comments are fragmented since Web 1.0 and how it gets even more fragmented today - Web 2.0. Discussions about defragmenting Comments sparked up in the Comments space and the Blogosphere these past few months, especially with the growing popularity of services like Disqus, Intense Debate, and well the two most pointed-out fragmenter today - Shyftr and FriendFeed (to which I’ve said, it has been like that since Web 1.0).

PinoyBlogoSphere.com - Filipino blogger arrested? Who? When?
June 9, 2008
What’s your take on the concern raised by Benj on his post at FilipinoVoices.com: The Worst-Case Scenario: The Cyber Crackdown?
“…Opening the path to blogging to people like Lozada and Panlilio seems to be a double-edged sword….”
“…While the value of freedom of expression is undeniable and is arguably a concept that should almost supersede any other idea out there, this move also exposes the once sheltered community of bloggers to possible run-ins with the administration…”
“…Filipino political bloggers have always had their way all these years. No one has ever been charged and they could criticize using the strongest terms but what happens once the spotlight finally hits this corner of cyberspace….”
“…With more eyes and ears listening in to blogs, we may be just a few months away from seeing our first blogger arrest.”
Do you also have reservations about this?

PinoyBlogoSphere.com - Digg Friends with Benefits
June 5, 2008
Nope, it’s not the FB you’re thinking about. It’s about having the ideal digg friends who’ll digg your shouts and more. We all know that there are different kinds of digg users. Some of them are good for you and your content promotion, while others are simply not interested. There are digg users who are picky with their friends, and then there are those who just befriend anyone they could get their eyes on. I guess being picky for a right reason saves you the effort of having to add too many friends in exchange for better submission promotion. Why add 100 friends when all you need is maybe a carefully chosen 75 or half of it and get the same benefits. Of course, it sounds ridiculous since we all have reasons why we join digg and why we add friends, but if you’re interested in getting more from your “please digg shouts”, maybe filtering out the less responsive digg users from your potential friend list is a better option.

PinoyBlogoSphere.com - The Z-list Blogger’s Comprehensive Guide to Getting Traffic from Digg
June 3, 2008
Are you a new blogger or, perhaps, one of the bottom dwellers that comprise the majority of the blogosphere (like me)? What are your chances of hitting the front page of digg, you may ask? Well, I have no exact numbers for that; but if you’re no social media genius then most probably it’s next to impossible. You can submit all your posts to digg but I can guarantee you that all your efforts will just go to waste. I am not trying to deter you from submitting your posts but for expecting to land on the front page, although not completely impossible, you should be realistic about it. What then can we expect from digg? I did some research before I temporarily vacated this blog for three weeks at most and I found out that it’s possible to get traffic from digg without necessarily hitting the front page. It might not be as massive as thousands a day but I can guarantee you that it will definitely be worth the effort. All you need is time and a focused effort to do it.
