Crossloop is indeed “One of the Best Things that Ever Happened Online” specially in providing help and assistance. I recently got a call from a lawyer friend who eventually turned to blogging for his past time. Being a lawyer, he is not very familiar with the online tools that a blogger uses and he is so interested to learn more about it. He is quite confused on how to be able to put in html/javascript tags on the blog that he is writing on and would like me to go to his office and guide him through.

The long wait is over for those consumers who love Apple iPhone’s technology. Apple finally took the wraps off its 3G iPhone. Thinner edges, full plastic back, flush headphone jack, and the iPhone 2.0 firmware. Apple’s taking a lot of the criticisms to heart ever since they launch the earlier iPhone. 3G is at the forefront, but they’re also making sure it’s available all over internationally, works with enterprises, runs Third party applications and does it all cheaper. Apple claims its 3G speeds beats the competition, with pageloads 36% faster than the N95 and beats the old EDGE data speed.

I have always been on the lookout for an IM messenger aside from Gaim or Pidgin that could host multiple IM providers such as Yahoo, ICQ, AIM & IRC. In my search for the right messenger who could do this, I chanced upon Trillian by Cerulean Studios. It s a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC. It provides capabilities not possible with original network clients, while supporting standard features such as audio chat, file transfers, group chats, chat rooms, buddy icons, multiple simultaneous connections to the same network, server-side contact importing, typing notification, direct connection (AIM), proxy support, encrypted messaging (AIM/ICQ), SMS support, and privacy settings.

Trillian provides unique functionality such as contact message history, a powerful skinning language, tabbed messaging, global status changes (set all networks away at once), Instant Lookup (automatic Wikipedia integration), contact alerts, an advanced automation system to trigger events based on anything happening in the client, docking, hundreds of emoticons, emotisounds, shell extensions for file transfers, and systray notifications.
Trillian however comes in two flavors; the first is the Basic and the Pro. Trillian Basic is the free version while the Pro version comes with a fee. With Trillian 3.1 version there are new features and benefits that are both available both in the free and the paid versions. Among them are Flexibility one could now use multiple identities using the new Identities and Connection Manager; Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) - Windows users with UPnP enabled routers will benefit from vastly improved file transfer success rates; Faster and Smaller - Trillian worked hard to speed up their messenger even more, there have been tremendous improvements in start-up times, icon rendering speeds and more.

Here are the comparisons between Trillian Basic and Trillian Pro;

It had been quite a while since I last wrote an article here after my terrible accident. Anyway, as I was recuperating from my motorcycle crash, I was able to spend more time watching videos using my PC and this prompted me to check out several different video files from different sources. Some video files that I happen to encounter are not playable to the built-in video players that I have on my computer. That prompted me to check out for some available free-ware and open source video player and this is the time that I found Miro.

Miro is a one of a kind video solution for one who would like to play varied types of video files whether from the internet or videos that were created from elsewhere. I have tested playing various files with Miro and all videos played well. Not only that, the resolution of the videos that I played with Miro were all enhanced thus giving the viewer a much better resolutions for viewing pleasures.

eBay is the world’s foremost online marketplace. A place for buyers and sellers to come together and trade almost anything. It has over 200 million global customers and can offer your product and business the exposure needed to this huge marketplace.

How does eBay work?
In a nutshell, eBay works by giving a platform for a seller to list his/her products. The seller then chooses if he/she wants to accept bids only (auction-type) or to offer a “Buy It Now” (direct sale) option at a fixed price. In an auction, the bidding opens at a price the seller specifies and remains on eBay for a certain number of days. Buyers then place bids on the item. When the listing ends, the buyer with the highest bid wins. In a “Buy It Now” listing, the first buyer willing to pay the seller’s price gets the item.

This is a breaking news in VoIP for consumers and businesses who would like to save a lot on communications. I posted the entire news article here so that everyone could read it. This is currently available in the UK and I am hoping that Voicenet Solutions would make this fixed mobile convergence solution available everywhere. It is always good to have calls to our fixed business landlines be forwarded to our mobile phones using our business VoIP network. We may no longer have to give out our mobile numbers but instead just our fixed landlines since calls would be forwarded to our mobile. Right now, we understand the infancy of these technologies but we are hoping that soon these would be available everywhere not only in the UK but also to the rest of the world. We pray that Voicenet Solutions hear us on this one.

There was this story that there were a group of individuals scattered all across the globe who constantly kept in touch with each other using different communication mediums and tools. They realized that keeping up with these communication tools are quite expensive and unreliable. What they thought of was that there was an opportunity with the predicament that they encountered and came up with a plan to create an integrated, easy-to-use communication and collaboration free service tool to address needs of people who were geographically dispersed but have a constant need for communications and collaborations.

It is quite difficult to get into business when we are trying to communicate with major languages being used now in the West. Hard to accept but not all who are into business are capable of speaking the Universal Language which is the English language. That is why many businesses who have clients from the other parts of the Globe wherein a different language is being used needs a translator to help them in understanding languages not commonly shared by everyone.

Right now, a new technology had arised. This is Promt 7.8 - an online translation tool that would make one easily translate phrases and words to and from various major languages from the West. Whether it be French, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Russian to English. It is a major assistance to most of us who are into business. Right now, most meetings are being done online and some are through chat or private messaging through chat conferences. This tool is a very usable software that could easily assist anyone who would be talking to another businessman from another part of the Globe. Language would no longer be a barrier when it comes to that.

It has been a while since I was able to write again about VoIP. My last post was (VoIP Review) about a general point of view of how VoIP would soon shape the future of communications. Right now, Mobile VoIP were released by providers such as Skype and Jajah. Cheaper alternatives for consumers and businesses who frequently uses long distance communications. Much cheaper than when using conventional telephone systems using Distance Dialling.

Skype released their 3 Skypephone, a mobile phone running over VoIP which is a stylish mobile phone that calls, texts and takes pictures like you’d expect it to; one can also use it to call and instant message their friends, free, wherever they are in the world. The only downside is that it is only available in selected countries for now. 3 Skypephone has been developed in partnership with the mobile operator 3. It’s available or coming soon in the following countries:
