The Web Hosting Fan Blogs!
Mar 19th
I noticed that what I see mostly of sites that talk about web hosting are those that give out web hosting ratings and reviews. Now let’s sing another tune. While I see such kinds of sites to be useful for potential buyers, they may not be good sources of tips and guides for stuff related to web hosting. Why? ‘Coz they’re too specific! Let’s look the other way around.
Here’s a website named the Web Hosting Fan. I think it is more appropriate to call it a blog. Yes, blog. This blog is just starting to grow. With 16 RSS subscribers and 26 Twitter followers? That’s quite a number huh. I see it’s still in its baby steps. But I see potential.
Google Innovation Forum 2010 And Winning Second Place In Hackathon
Mar 14th
Last March 12, 2010, Google came to UP Cebu to hold the Innovation Forum 2010 entitled Inspiring Innovation: The Google Way. Guest speakers Christine Songco of Google, Inc. and Dan de Lima of Google Japan shared to us a lot of things about Google like the history of Google, new technologies and innovations involving Google, it’s aims in helping developers and a lot more. Both shared their life as Google employees too, and how they became one. I’d say that the forum was really informative and inspiring. I am surprised that I was listening eagerly to their talks. When I learned that Dan de Lima was also an Iskolar ng Bayan and once worked for a local software company, then I thought I might have a chance of being part of the Google team someday too. But I must prove my worth first.

The whole morning was spent for the talks of Ms. Songco and Mr. de Lima, including the open forum part where the audience can ask anything from the guest speakers. I have this question in mind: What does it take to become part of the Google team? I didn’t raise that question up though. I find Ms. Songco and Mr. de Lima amazing people. They look and sound really happy with their jobs in Google. I’m glad I was able to hear their talks.
