Hi All,

It’s Web 2.0 Expo 2008 this week so I headed over to Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco.  Luckily, I was able to grab a free Press pass from Natalia Wodeck from TechWeb.com. (Thank you Natalia, very appreciated!)

First company we will be covering at Web 2.0 Expo 2008 is TellMe.com, a subsidiary of Microsoft that develops voice-activated mobile apps for cellphones.

TellMe has just launched their voice activated service for Blackberries, including Blackberry 8830, which I use personally.

Anyways, TellMe has basically extended the basic “voice-activated” functionality of the Blackberry to connect to Live search and also use the GPS service to pinpoint directions to your desired location whether that’s a mexican restaurant, club, or a bar.

I’d say kudos for this type of technology as it’s much better than calling an 800 number. (I am referring to Google’s 411 service.)

Although not a too big fan of the parent company, Microsoft, I am surprised that TellMe is available first on Blackberries and they are “still” working on TellMe service for Microsoft’s Mobile powered cellphones. (Kudos for that!  They actually care about users more than monopolizing mobile OSes.)

You can find a list of supported devices here.

If you are on your mobile phone, go to http://m.tellme.com on your phone’s browser and download TellMe.

It looks like Microsoft is trying to kill two birds with one stone, targeting Google’s 411 service and GoogleMaps with this TellMe aquisition. Well, I am not biased at all so let the best be the winner here!

Here’s a video-recap of the TellMe service working on a Blackberry 8830:

Which one would you rather use? Google 411 or TellMe?

Hi All,

I was over at AdTech 2008 today in Moscone Center, San Francisco. Guess who I ran into? Well, it was kinda planned but at the last minute, I figured to get some advice from one of the world’s top blogger, John Chow, and share some of his secrets with you.

Since he was featured on Entrepreneur magazine couple months ago and he is making $30K+ per month from his blog, I figured I couldn’t lose by asking him couple questions. And of course, share all that great knowledge with you, my readers!

I mean I have read his blog and all, but I think I learned a lot more from asking the questions I had in mind than simply reading his blog. I had a lot of clutter that was kept in my mind cleared away, thanks John!

From what I’ve heard from him today, I think I can start turning this blog into a cash-cow from what is now $1000/month to hopefully around $10K/month by next year. (Hey, Zedomax.com is getting 4000-5000 uniques per day too, maybe it’s time I focused more on RSS instead of simply traffic.)

Check out Macworld and Apple Store this week in San Francisco! We might be there to exchange
some of our DIY projects for something at the Make Store if that works…hehe…anyways,
we will make sure to take some photos if we do go! Cool, they got some stuff about rss and
podcasting so we might have to go since we are thinking about Zedomax technology video podcasts,

Cool, the Macworld show is at Moscone center, my friend Markus works there, he’s probably
