WordCamp Philippines

WordCamp Philippines

If you’re a Pinoy blogger or a WordPress user/fan then most likely you’ve heard or read of this already. But in case you haven’t, I have good news for you. There will be a WordCamp held in the Philippines this coming September 6, 2008. If you don’t know what I’m talking about here’s a little info.

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. - Weblog Tools Collection

WordCamp Philippines will be the first ever WordCamp organized and held in Asia. WordCamp Philippines is being organized by a group of Filipino bloggers based in Mindanao who were also responsible for organizing the successful 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit held last year.

What are the objectives of WordCamp Philippines?

…to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.

Free FeedDemon and NetNewsWire

Earlier today, the folks at NewsGator announced that FeedDemon, NetNewsWire and all other RSS reader products are now available for FREE! Aside from that, all NewsGator products include free web-based synchronization to other services. With synchronization, users will be able to view their RSS content the same way no matter where or when they read it. Ain’t that neat?


Here’s a complete list of NewsGator’s products that are available free of charge:

  • FeedDemon (Windows)
  • NetNewsWire (Mac)
  • NewsGator Inbox
  • NewsGator Go for Windows Mobile
  • NewsGator Go for BlackBerry/Java, iPhone and HTML mobile apps
  • NewsGator Online.

I’ve always wanted to try FeedDemon but thought that the $29.95 price tag was a bit too much, so I ended up using other free alternatives like the Sage extension for Firefox, web-based Google Reader and later on Mozilla Thunderbird. Now that FeedDemon is free, I immediately downloaded and installed it on my laptop. Thanks Nick!

Btw, if you decide to download and install FeedDemon, NetNewsWire or any of NewsGator’s RSS clients don’t forget to subscribe to my feeds.

    Oh no! I’ve subscribed to Feeddemon 10 months ago, I paid 29.95 USD and now they’re offering it for free? It’s not that I’m not satisfied with their service. On the contrary I am. Yet, on my planned shift to Ubuntu, I intend to abandon Feeddemon after my subscription expires in March, as they only have products for PC and MAC.

    Nevertheless, this still could be good news. At least, I still always have that option. I just hope they keep the same level of service as they do to paying customers that I once was.

    I liked Feeddemon that it kept me wondering why there have not much competition (a free service, that is) in the desktop feed reader arena.

    I have a question, though? Did they offer any reason why did they go free? I was reading their website and I couldn’t find a clear answer. :)

    @deuts - Really? Oh man, that sucks! Sorry bout that. Anyways, it’s only a couple of months left in your subscription and you were able to use it for a while so it’s not a total waste.

    Regarding your last question, here’s the answer of NewsGator CEO and President JB Holston:

    “We are uniquely positioned to drastically expand the community of people working with RSS content. The larger that community is, the more valuable the experience for every user and for all of our services customers. That insight has led us to undertake the significant investment to make all of our client products free.”
