Interview on moShow (2005/09/01)
On Wednesday, I did an interview with the folks over at moShow where they specialise in podcasts and mocasts (I'm not sure if they're the same. Podcasts are supposed to be audio-only because current iPods; where the podcast name comes from; cannot play video whereas mocasts; ie, Mobile-casts; can be played on mobile cameras where video is possible.).
Anyway, I talked my head off and they had enough material for three episodes. The first episode is already available so if you're interested, head on over to moShow and listen in. The other episodes will become available on the coming two Thursdays.
Note. The interviews are in Cantonese.

If it's slow on streaming, you can try download it via Podcast RSS :)

I just listened to your online interview. I was surprised to know that you paid to Google for every time when people clicked on your ad. I thought it’s paid by monthly lump sum only.
Just for my curiosity (curiosity killed the cat?) Did you spend big bucks on "the clicks"?

Sapphire,
I was paying approx HK$0.40 per click-thru. that's not too bad. you can also set a monthly maximum so that it won't put you into bankruptcy should a hurricane of people suddenly decide to search for your blog. the system is pretty good; well thought out.
my click-thrus are cheap because I'm the only one using my name as a search keyword for their ads. if I wanted to register "coca-cola" as a search keyword so that everyone searching for "coca-cola" saw my ads, I'd have to pay big bucks to make sure that the ad was near the top of the listed ads.
but as I said in the interview, I needed the ads early on because searching my name in google didn't find my blog. it does now; lots of finds listing various articles in my blog; so I might not need the google ads much longer.

My curiosity of peeping thru your ad in Goole stopped when I remembered that you had to pay for each click :b Anyways, I'll listen to moShow next week as they gonna broadcast your singing.
It's really better to read your blog using Mozilla Firefox.

Greg, Since you're trying to advertise your blog, would you mind if I add a link of your blog to my space (MSN), and my sinablog?

Eileen, I don't mind at all. the more, the merrier ;-)

木子,
I've always said that IE wasn't a good browser ;-)
one day, IE might catch up with everyone else when Microsoft releases v7 but for now, nothing beats using one of the standards-based browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari or OmniWeb.

Wow~~
好大的驚喜!!
讀完你的文章後
順道連去聽interview
Guess what??
Vivien是我的老朋友 (很久沒連絡了)
還有連絡那段時間
去香港時 她都會陪我去逛街
後來因為工作忙
又因為改用MSN
已經很少用ICQ
所以很多年沒連絡了
昨晚看到你們的合照
一眼就認出她
馬上打開ICQ
問她是不是訪問了你
結果...Bingo~~~
真是謝謝你寫了這篇文章
讓我找回一位老朋友 ^_____^

河生：
這次你個 Blog 真是 "好事多為"，原來可以間接幫到你的 fans 萬里尋人，
下次如果我要找尋遠方失散的親人，一定上來找你幫手，效果分分鐘好過在
報紙登尋人廣告。哈哈！

我今天很開心，終於在 MoShow 第一次聽到你唱歌，原來你還識彈鋼琴，佩服！你唱的兩首歌中我最喜歡是 When you look at me， 你唱得好好及很有感情。How am I supposed to live without you 其實都是一首好歌， 可能這首歌以前曾經很 hit. 聽得太多（overexposure?)，但 When you look at me 是我第一次聽這首歌，感覺很清新，所以一聽到你唱時就覺得很悅耳動聽。
希望你繼續努力，終有今天會願望成真！
