Copying Articles Without Attribution

One of the earliest article I wrote for the now offline wmn.ph was “Wedding Favor Ideas“.

This article was not really about sentimental anniversary gifts though the suggestions there are related for celebrating wedding anniversaries.  Main topic was about wedding favors and how couples have become creative in giving their guests wedding favors that can be used and not thrown away as junk.

Part of my article goes:

Here are some tips on choosing the apt wedding favor depends on the couple’s taste, style, theme and yes, budget.

  • Be practical: practical favors like wine bottle stoppers, notebooks and pens are wonderful ideas. These are not discarded easily because one can have a use for these wedding favor ideas.
  • Anything consumable can be a big hit: mini wine bottles, bottled flavor sauces, flavored candies, mini-cakes and cookies in fancy boxes are some of ideas for this kind of wedding favors. Tea bags with attached instructions with an inspiring message are a good idea too. These can be put in fancy containers that can also double as a table centerpiece.
  • Stylish and functional: linens like handkerchiefs, mini-towels and stationery are some suggested wedding favors.
  • Go green: potted orchids and/or herbs can double as a table centerpiece. Pots can be painted to match the color motif of the wedding.

 

FYI: This entire article I wrote was copied in it’s entirety by a Multiply account, a seller of wedding favors. No attribution was given to the online publication which was owned by one of the bigger TV networks in the country. If I hadn’t gotten Google Alerts from it, I wouldn’t know that my published and paid for article was copied, word per word.

Oh yeah, my name was there, along with this blog’s url which was linked only when the editor asked seller to.

And no, I will not post the seller’s link here and have her get inquiries and traffic.

Baby Alive Doll

Baby Alive dolls are cute. They cry. They laugh. You can feed them. You can also change their (very expensive) nappies. They look real, hair and skin tone and all. Depending on the children’s “color” orientation of course.

But my children don’t like ’em because for them, these dolls are scary. Tried to discourage them otherwise, especially the younger daughter but “No can do” for these dolls for her.

Oh well…*shrugs shoulders*

*Doll is not ours

Google Goggles

Google Goggles gets rid of your keyboard/keypad usage and uses your camera to search the internet.

Ohhh! That was what I saw while  researching for htc desire reviews. Google goggles got me excited and who wouldn’t be excited? No need to key-in specific keywords, just take a photo of something and Google Goggles the info for you.

Skeptical?

Porsche 911

I’m sure a lot of guys out there would love to give this mean machine a try. The car? A Porsche 911.

Why, even our President got himself a pre-owned Porsche but that is a different story altogether.

A car is a car but a Porsche? Who would call a Porsche a car? It is a Porsche, whether it’s a 911, a GT3, Carrera GT or even the Cayenne.

It feels like it has testosterone supplements in the gasoline that keeps it revving. But nah, the machine is superb and the brand wouldn’t come a long way if that’s not the case. Even little guys who love fast cars love Porsche.

Walter Roehrl, a rally legend during the 70s and 80s and a senior test driver for Porsche said that the engine so so good and “That is the reason I like this car, because it’s not the power, it’s the response of this car.”
