Webinar on Blogging

I have just attended a webinar (web seminar) which introduced Blog4Reviews.com and how to blog better and earn some money from blogging. It was my first time to attend a webinar and I am so impressed with the quality of the audio and the presentation using VoIP technology. The webinar session I attended tonight was the last session of a whole day of webinars on different topics related to blogging and the like. This is part of the One Internet Day 2009 webinar series in celebration of the 10th anniversary of digitalfilipino.com. The speaker, Ms Janette Toral, is a leading and successful internet professional, among other titles she holds.

The webinar was hosted by ProFora Media.

I learned many things and I was also able to interact with the speaker by asking questions and getting answers real time. I was also able to hear the questions from other participants and the expert's answers to them.

Internet User's Guide to E-Commerce Policies

I have been curious about e-commerce ever since I heard about it many years ago! And I have been wanting to know more about it. Fortunately there is now a book that has been published, entitled Internet User's Guide to E-Commerce Policies, which is the first book in the E-commerce for Entrepreneurs series written by Ms. Janette Toral of DigitalFilipino.com. We need this kind of reference and guidance as current and future e-entrepreneurs so that we will not be e-dealing in the dark, and to be able to do commerce within legal bounds. At the same time it is good to be well informed about what we can do in case something not so pleasant happens. So this book will be a welcome addition to information on e-commerce stuff, which is still insufficient to address the many issues related to e-commerce esp. on legislation. Kudos to Ms. Janette for all her efforts in coming up with this series.
