Yesterday, I was asked by a visitor at Student E-Resources on how to put a contact form in the new Blogger after she saw my contact form embedded in one of the pages.
For this particular one, I am using Wufoo HTML forms. The advantage of Wufoo is you can create any kinds of online forms like mailing list and subscriptions, job applications, etc.
However, with Wufoo, you have to login to your admin dashboard to read the messages generated from your contact form. I have a particular dilemma on this. I usually forget to check my dashboard so I sometimes reply late to my visitors messages.

I just noticed that an allegedly Zango Support personnel posted a comment on one of my published posts in BlogEngage where I was talking about how the Zango software posed as a threat. Just to give them the benefit of the doubt, I would like to post his comment:
Zango Support says:
In the above post Zango is listed as a threat.
We would like to correct this listing.
Zango is a safe and secure program which will not harm users’ computer.
We are certainly aware of the ever-growing number of harmful applications that have surfaced on the Web.
Please be assured that Zango, unlike such applications, will always make the user’s privacy our top priority. Zango is a safe and secure program which installs itself only upon user’s download and does nothing without the user’s consent.

I’ve encountered quite a number website having Zango software ad dialog box, especially on download sites and online video sites. I used to be a regular user of PeekVid to view some TV series and movie I missed. But recently, I visited the site and a dialog box asks me to download a software first before I could view the video. With that alone, I already suspected that it maybe a malicious software. I searched for it and found out that it was indeed an adware downloader.
The Zango software ads state that to be able to view videos, play games, listen online, you have to download their “software”, so an unsuspecting internet user downloads it, unknowingly installing spyware and adware in his/her computer.
Zango, formerly known as 180solutions and Hotbar, manufactures known adware and spyware typically required to access partner’s games, DRM-protected videos and software. Some online and home PC security giants such as McAfee, states that this program may have legitimate uses however, it a potentially unwanted program and an adware downloader.
StopBadware.org listed undesirable software behaviors of the Zango Easy Messenger such as excessive pop ups, automatically runs on startup, displays pop-up advertisements, installs adware, and bundled software cannot be closed. Wikipedia

Just recently, I decided to make a switch. I was convinced then that Globelines was the best choice after reading many recommendations on it. However, when I did “ISP crawling” last week, I ended up subscribing with PLDT MyDSL instead.
I just submitted my application yesterday but I already have my new connection now. That was fast! I applied for Plan 999, with download speed up to 384 kbps for a monthly fee of Php 999.00. I also took advantage of their free installation promo. Apparently, Jhay was right. The connection speed depends on the local area where you are located.
I saw a big difference between the download speed of Smart Bro and PLDT MyDSL. With the former, I had never achieved my desired speed which was up to 384 kbps. I only had up to 250 kbps. With PLDT MyDSL, I am paying for a download speed of up to 384kbps yet I am getting the a much higher speed. Further, online video streaming was a hassle before because I had to wait for a clip to load completely to get uninterrupted viewing.
