Gloo as a Collaboration Tool

Gloo is a virtual page where you can post notes, doodle, create a to-do list, and put pictures and videos directly from your Facebook account, and the web. Once you’ve invited your family and friends to your space, they can view, create and change your space elements in real time so technically, it is like a collaborative sketchpad.

Above is a screenshot of my Gloo space. I was using it much like a social network page before as I shared my daughter’s pictures and videos to my friends. However, after I’ve invited my sister and my brother to my page, it assumed a new function – that of a family bulletin board. My sister posted her assignment in algebra and while I was answering the math questions, my brother took the chance to post his special requests. It almost felt like we’re just inches apart. The site was very convenient and easy to use.

Aside from being a message pad for the family, the Gloo page can also be used as a collaboration board for planning events, organizing business and organization discussions and meetings, and more. It also offers a free messaging service (You can send 30 SMS to your contacts everyday for FREE, and forward pictures via MMS for PhP 5.00)

For more information, you can inquire about Gloo at the Globe Broadband website.

FREE SOFTWARE REVIEW: Byki Express Japanese Language Software

I have a cousin that lives in Japan now and I am very much interested in learning Japanese. That is why I was on the hunt for Free Foreign Language Learning Software this morning. Fortunately, the search was not that hard. There are dozens of free programs that teach the Japanese language. One of those which I downloaded is the FREE Byki Express Desktop Software. Basically, Byki is not merely focused on teaching the Japanese language. Rather, it is a language learning system that you can use to learn sixty-four different languages (Afrikaans, Albanian, Altai, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bashkir, Belorussian, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Buriat, Chechen, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dari, Dutch, Estonian, Farsi, Finnish, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Haitian, Hausa, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Malay, Mirandese, Mongolian, Norwegian, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese,...

Is an iPad the right choice for you?

I've heard a lot of rave comments about Apple's latest creation - the iPad. People are literally craving for it. I, for one, used to lust over this gadget. But then, I checked its specs and I'm beginning to wonder.. Is the iPad for me really? Let's see... If I were to buy a 16gb iPad, that would cost me $499 (or even more since I'm from the Philippines and I'll have to shipping fees, etc.). That's a huge sum of money for some device with very low mem capacity. With that amount, I can get a netbook with an 80GB capacity or more. Another problem I have with the iPad is that it can't run flash. I won't be able to look into browser-based apps and flash-driven content and sites. I'd probably have to say goodbye to FB games then. The iPad also doesn't have a USB port (you'll need a dock connector) and you can't directly install music, photos, movies, etc. on it (apart from those you get from the itunes store). Sooo disappointing. It do...
