Building Online Store is a way easier today

I managed a furniture online store 2 or 3 years ago, it belong to my boss in Jepara Indonesia. The domain has been registered in anyone name because I was too late to extend the domain name.

Having online store in two to five years ago is really a good choice despite the very time consuming coding process, I made the code by myself and nobody gave me help because they were totally noob in computer thing. So after the semi automatic shopping shop had completed my boss was very happy and give me extra big buck as my bonus!

Having online store nowadays is a way much more easier than yesteryear, because there are alot of ecommerce software up here in cheap price and has been proven in every sides, take a look this award winning shopping software. It's only $39.95 per month INCLUDING hosting!

I guess I must tell my boss again to rebuild his online store!

Ten to Twenty bucks from Smorty

There are many pros and contras on blog advertising. Some says OK rest of it will not agree based on some reaseon such as the seo reason, unethical reason and so on. But I'm not bothering with such pros and contras, as long as I can control the advertiser's post and have an ability to to reject or accept the post.

Smorty is one of the liaison in the middle of bloggers and advertisers, advertisers join smorty as they want an extra exposure, an extra buzz, and links of their products/services. While in other side blogger earn money from their honest (hopefully) review, feedback inside their own blogs. It's a totally win-win solution I think, both sides gain what they want.

I never blog for money before, but it seems interesting to earn money from blogging.

However this is not a lump sump of money we are going to earn from smorty, since this is a new blog, and I don't have a bunch of time to spend everyday blogging because I have another daily job. But I think it will be okay to have another ten to twenty bucks from blogging!

Android the next generation Mobile Phone by Google

Android Derived from "andros" (greek for "man") and "eides" (greek for "of the species; alike"), was first mentioned by Albertus Magnus over 700 years ago. In a modern understanding, android is a robot designed to resemble a human, usually both in appearance and behavior.

But we have a new terms for Android here, an Open Source Mobile System developed by Google.

Google, the giant internet company, along with 33 mulitiscipline companies made a giant consortium named Open HandSet Alliance (OHA). This consortium, OHA then launched the Android.

Android promises the future mobilephone to less price and better, also android is claimed as a capable strength to taylor a better future mobile phone.
The Android is phisycally drawn as a Linux based gadget, hence softwares inside the Android can be developed by anyone that fluent in Linux.

Operating system inside almost all of mobile phones available nowadays, such as Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm are Licensed Operating System and not an Open Source OS. Google and OHA see that mobile phone might have a better future while it is designed in Open Source platform.

Unfortunately, not all mobile phone available in market supports the Operating System. User have to buy a new mobile phone that supports OHA's operating system to feel and use features and powers of the next generation smart mobile phone.

So, how about the Symbian, Palm, Windows Mobile, and Blackery's based mobile phone ? They will continue to extend their esistence, but of course they all have a potential threat .. Android.
