The PEBA 2011 "Where the Heart Is" Photo Contest

The Pink Tarha, proud to be a part of this year's PEBA (Pinooy Expats Blog Awards) and GLOBE Kababayan SIM bring us the Globe Telecom Photo Contest.

Rain, clouds, more colors, vintage effect? What happened? Don't fret, it's still the PEBA 2011 Photo Contest. We just added a fun, very colorful side to it. Of course, it's hand-in-hand with the theme of the PEBA 2011
Blogging Contest. This is our first major project as a blog, and the first tie-up we have of PEBA Inc... please support us! Grab your cameras and shoot!

Here's the gist: All Filipinos living and residing abroad and of legal age are eligible to join this photo contest. Think of a subject/subjects that will show us where your heart is, what you consider "home." A home is not just a place, right? Capture your interpretation of the theme with the use of your cameras! We don't
discriminate so you can use whatever camera you have, as long as you pour lots of creativity and mix in passion. :) Submit your photos (a maximum of 2) at pc@pinoyblogawards.com starting today until August 1,
2011. Worthy judges will be taking a look at your photographs and your family and friend can support you through the Facebook pages of PEBA, The Pink Tarha, and the Globe Kababayan. Winners will be receiving
electronic gadgets and more prizes from our wonderful sponsors. For more information, please read THIS. (If that doesn't work because sometimes Google Docs is choosy aka nagiinarte, haha, then you can also click
here. ;)

We'll be giving away Globe TipIDD cards worth P300 each for the first 50 participants. We'll be awaiting, rather eagerly, your wonderful photos! :)

Again, don't forget to read the full mechanics and rules HERE (It's a must!). It's just four pages and font
12 so it won't be stressful to read. If you have more questions such as why there are clouds and rain in the poster above or who's that guy holding the camera or why you should join, don't hesitate to email us at
pc@pinoyblogawards.com or thepinktarha@gmail.com. Don't be shy now. :)

Kindly share this to your family, friends, and fellow photographers. More photos, more happiness shared. :)

A FAIL Twitter Bio Info

Wondering what's running on US Airways Social Media Specialists' minds when they put in their Twitter Bio (and in their background image) this:

"Have a complaint/compliment to share with us? Go to usairways.com/feedback so we can followup directly.We aren't able to provide a proper response on Twitter.

http://www.usairways.com/Forms/CustomerRelations.aspx"

They must still be living in a cave huh! They're turning off customers from one of the best, if not the best, social media customer service tool today. Maybe they find 140 characters a bit challenging eh. So why bother to Twit? Using Twitter in a one-way channel is a no-no.

Will you like this Facebook ad?

Uhmm, not really sure if this Facebook ad will work. Why put a freaky image in it? Makhsoom Dubai is yet again a daily deal site which is just about to launch. I didn't get the relation of the image with deals.

What if our online life is transformed into the real life?

Are we gonna entertain strangers who wants to befriend us on streets, or follow us? Are we gonna wear labels saying what's on our mind, or what we like? Pretty weird yeah. Here's an interesting funny video produced by the English National Opera. The video was created to promote Nico Muhley's opera 'Two Boys' which examines internet crimes.



And here's another one:
