Photobucket Gets $10.5M Funding
A lot of Pinoy Cosplay users like Photobucket, so they should be happy to hear this: profitable Photobucket closes $10.5M more in funding.
And to think Flickr, a Yahoo company, isn't profitable yet. In a world where users have many social networking and content management choices, Photobucket's combination of easy embedding, multimedia hosting, and an affordable freemium model make a killer triple combo.

Philippine Idol Hopefuls Stood Up
I feel sorry for the more than 200 people who got stood up yesterday for the cancelled Philippine Idol auditions.
Those hopefuls should listen to Filipino cosplayer Nilopie: "I-YouTube n'yo na lang 'yan!" ("Just put it on YouTube already!"). Remember that YouTube is huge in the Philippines. The mainstream media is no longer the gatekeeper of fame.
