Philippine National Police launches wanted database website
June 21, 2008 · Comments
Responding to the order of Philippine National Police director Avelino Razon to compile a database of wanted persons on a nationwide scale, the PNP Computer Service has launched a new website of Philippines’ most wanted criminals.
The new website includes pictures, vital information of the wanted persons and the monetary reward for any information that will lead to their apprehension. Anyone who has an access to a computer and the internet can browse through the website located at http://www.pnp.gov.ph (direct link: https://registry.pnp.gov.ph/mwp)
“This 24-hour online site will be very effective in immediately alerting all police offices throughout the country as well as the public of the possibility that a person in their community is a most wanted person,” Razon said. (UPDATE: The website is inaccessible as of June 21st 2008 6:09PM)
Chief Superintendent Teofilo Melliza Jr, Computer Service director, said the online registry is part of the PNP Modernization Program that includes innovation in preventing and resolving crimes through information technology.

Let’s convince MostlyLisa (Lisa Bettany) to switch from Safari to Firefox.
Here’s what I’ve commented on her blog (slightly edited here)…
Some useful extensions for Firefox that Safari still doesn’t have:
1) SEOquake – Into SEO? Care about it?
2) Firebug – Web designer/Developer? Do you have a website you care about?
3) Shareaholic – Are you social? Do you care to share?
4) Web Developer Toolbar – See #2
5) FireFTP – Do you still use separate apps like Cyberduck, Transmit?
6) ScribeFire – Do you still blog outside Safari? Or inside Wordpress?
7) Adblock Plus – How do you block those annoying ad inside Safari again?
8) FoxyTunes – How do you like your iTunes… inside your browser?
9) Undo Closed Tabs Button – How do you undo your accidentally closed tab in Safari? History?
10) Mouse Gestures – Do you want to prevent RSI?
Just like Lisa, I also love Safari. It’s zippy (borrowed the word from Steve Jobs). However, there’s always a right tool for the job.
Visit MostlyLisa’s blog here and let’s try to convince a long time Safari user.

June 21, 2008 · Comments
Google announced today that they’re launching Google Trends. A tool that lets anyone get information on what the world visits most. For those who doesn’t know, this is exactly what Alexa, Compete, Hitwise and Quantcast are doing for years now.
So, why it is a killer? Because Google has all the power to bring the traffic information accurately and has the capability to scale rapidly than any other company in the world.
How accurate can they be? Extremely accurate. They can easily get the traffic information from our daily Google searches, Gmail, Google Analytics, Google _ (fill in the blanks) and use that same information on Google Trends.
Now, the real question is, how can Alexa, Compete, Hitwise, and Quantcast compete with Google Trends? This time the answer is not going to be as easy. These companies should start to offer better and more innovative features than what Google Trends has to offer.
It is absolutely going to be interesting how this competition unfolds. One thing is for sure though, Google is definitely an 800-pound-gorilla to beat.
