Did you ever noticed that “as seen in” feature some YouTube video uploads have?
I always wondered how to get a YAM Magazine one [which eventually did happen], so I’m wondering how this works. I suppose that YouTube picks up a pingback because it’s Google… and everything is interconnected now.
Anyway, you can subscribe to this blog’s YouTube thingy thing!
Here I thought that OK Go couldn’t impress me any longer.
Of course this takes forever to load, and I’m always scared it might crash my computer being so old and outdated xD but I’ve seen it a few couple times already. I keep hitting replay. LOL
Check it out~ All Is Not Lost.
This is a strong contender for Breakthrough of 2011 xD – on a side note, WTF is up with this year’s VMA not having the Breakthrough category? I thought that was sooooooooo sad~ It’s like… I have nothing to look forward!
Who here is using Google+?
My minimalist side appreciates that it’s all white. I actually don’t need to focus on anything else but the content.
The CONTENT!
I love that the preview image of YouTube is so big (it seems to post 4:3 thumbnails for Vimeo), and if the thumbnail doesn’t load — you can hit “retry” and it tries to load it again.
If you make a typo, you can hit “edit” like in the screencap. You can also choose which functions to have – to disable re-sharing or comments. You also don’t need to “tag” people, you just decide with which Circles you want to share the info.

This is a… let’s call it a long footnote on Japan Cinema’s guide of Do’s and Dont’s of a Good Movie Blog.
I’ve blogged… for a while. My first blog was launched in 2004… it’s been a few years. The blogging has escalated into something I would like to do for a living, but I still love to have a space where I can just, you know, blog for my own sake.
While Japan Cinema’s guide is an awesome start-up tool to make it more pro, it’s obvious many bloggers feel blogging is just their own medium to vent. If you happen to find someone that shares your same point of view, the better! But it’s not a necessity.
I wanted to share a few tips to make a good (movie) blog. I know I haven’t been the best blogger for a while, but at the high of my activities here, I had months with an average of 2, 3 or 4 posts a day… whether I had comments or not. LOL
So… after my Weibo Fail almost 2 months ago, I finally was able to setup the yammag Weibo account.
Except for the loading problems, which is a given in Chinese-based websites (because of the number of people?), Weibo seems to be pretty cool to use… even if I haven’t figure out all things yet.
One of them is that I can’t make the profile open to the public. People who are not logged into Weibo, get an invitation code… which I don’t really want. I want it to be open to the public, but no one seems to know what I mean.
If you already use Twitter, it’s easy to get use to Weibo~ but there are a few things that are kind cool/kinda not so cool in it. The first one that’s cool and not so cool at the same time is… use of emoticons. LOL I know people who don’t like them, and might find them odd using in a microblogging site-
BUT… Weibo isn’t really a microblog. It seems much more complex than Twitter.

At the moment of this post, there’s no link to a Yu Aoi Twitter account.
To be honest, I can’t remember how I ended up in this account @yuaoi85 – which you know, would make sense as a username. However, there are several things weird with the account.
The most obvious one is that is not a verified account, but very few outside Hollywood verify theirs… so I can pass that.
The second big one is that Yu doesn’t speak English. It is simple English, but out of 17 tweets – 6 are in English. – Plus, her latest tweet is a copy and paste of the message on her website.
Also, who is that account following. Docomo. Fine, she sponsors Docomo.
But why a Kardashian? Marie Claire? Elle?
It’s very random follows.
And the first tweet is about a football soccer match. LOL
—
Then again, if it is the actual account (you never know xD) – I need explanations. Why Kardashian!!??!?
Until her website is linked to a twitter account, we shall label all as fakes.
So I was browsing around to see if I should setup a Weibo (aka. China’s microblogging a la Twitter), and I was fine. I was able to open an account, and got an email for confirmation. The problem began later.
I was supposed to pick a nickname, and setup my profile… but there was an issue. I thought it must be me not reading characters, so I google it up and ended up with this Tutorial on how to setup a Weibo account (to follow CNBLUE, ha!).
And it seems like the “Location” option tab — which is the first rectangle in my screencap — is set automatically, but in mine shows nothing! Then, I don’t have the confirmation code either! So I can’t move on from that setup page!
To make matters worse, servers in China are sooooo freaking slow. What’s up with that China? You’re awesome and all, but the slow internet, and slow response for people outside China of Chinese sites is kinda sad. =(
I was beat last night. Full of anxiety xD
But it’s finally out. Please, visit yam-mag.com leave a comment and subscribe ;P
Wow, haven’t posted anything in two days xD
Been working… and working on the YAM site. Still doesn’t feel finished… but I think it’s working. However, haven’t gotten any time to watch any movies extra films. And Julz still hasn’t emailed me anything *points finger* *shakes fist*
The only author’s page I’ve got is mine because no one’s emailed me their bio. LOL or photo~
Nerve-racking~~~~~~~
Also, I’ve bought clothing on YesStyle~ tun-tun-tun!
O_O
xD
You know, it looks fine – but some stuff don’t work yet! LOL I mean, it works… but not as I was expecting. So I need someone to talk WordPress coding and plugins out-loud with — figuratively speaking — so I can have my House “ah-ha!” moment.
Also emailed all YAM readers to see if anyone is interested on becoming Affiliate with us, for the first 3 months it’s a FREE space (though, rotating randomly) on that humongous featured ad. Though, that Kick-Ass poster is puuuuurrrrrfect.
Thoughts, comments? Suggestions?
