Last released video of T.A.T.U. is pretty revealing. If you ever wanted to check out the “lesbi” girls naked, here’s your chance:

HTTPool enters Romanian market as a full service online advertising network, following the market trends by bringing a combined approach to the Online Industry - full service agency & online advertising network. You can read the full story on Hotnews and a more detailed analysis on Doru Panaitescu’s blog. I met HTTPool’s CEO, Timotej, in Warsaw at the InternetCEE conference last november and he is a fun guy with a sound business focus and clear regional markets understanding. I was impressed that such a young guy can lead such a big operation, but I guess this is the way in the Online Industry. It’s funny that neither of the sources that bring us the news mention anything about Timotej.

Timotej Gala, Chief Executive at Httpool Internet Marketing Central and Eastern Europe (Balkan).

Timotej Gala is responsible for media-buying and Internet advertising operations in five CEE markets. Since 2003, when he joined the company, he has successfully positioned Httpool as the market leader in online marketing in South-East Europe. Furthermore, he actively promotes Internet marketing in the region presenting the latest trends and opportunities of online marketing through media and marketing events.

The other news comes from Bobby Voicu - romanian blogger & online evangelist - recently appointed Yahoo Romania Community Manager. Bobby had a very important guest on his online RadioLynx show - Darren Patterson, Yahoo Business Development Director for Emerging Markets, who announced Yahoo’s strategy for 2008&2009 in Romania. Apparently www.yahoo.ro will be online with localized content this fall (august-september). You can see the full story on ZF.

Also, Yahoo! Messenger, no1 social “network” in Romania (if you ask me), will have a localized (translated) version.

This will definitely be a fun year for the Online Industry in Romania ;)

Later edit: quite a coincidence, Orlando posted a write-up about the same 2 events I mentioned above. Check the timestamps ;)

Later edit 2: You can listen to the recording of Bobby Voicu interviewing Darren Patterson

TEASING: Dupa ce am alergat toata ziua de ieri sa inmatriculez masina si 60km & 10l de benzina mai tarziu am ridicat si numerele, pot sa spun ca sunt doctor in procedura si voi publica un ghid practic “Cum sa inmatriculezi o masina(de import) noua in Bucuresti” - stay tuned!

Intrebare 1: Unul dintre cei mai buni prieteni …genul ala de prieten care stie mai multe despre tine decat sotia …isi cauta o garsoniera de inchiriat - cu un buget maxim de 250 eur/luna intr-o zona cat mai decenta. E serios, e cu pretena (deci e pentru un cuplu garsoniera) si o vor pe cat se poate pe termen lung.

Intrebare 2: Unde pot gasi sa decodez (network lock) un HTC TyTn II luat de la Orange ?

Concurs 1: - fara tragere la sorti - colegii de la Descopera va trimit in Africa - e pe bune!

Concurs 2: - pe www.apropo.ro puteti castiga dvd-uri de la provideo :)

via Orlando

Leapsa: - preluati si adapatati Intrebarea 1 (cea cu garsoniera) si mentionati ceva despre asta la voi pe blog. Dupa experiente negative cu agentii imobiliare si babe shokate, situatia e de asa natura incat prietenul a ajuns sa creada ca nu se gasesc astfel de oportunitati decat prin cunostiinte, etc. Leapsa merge la Zoso (i know you don’t do tags dude :P), eCostin (plizzz :)), Victor, George Olteanu, Ionut Popa, Oasze, Oraan si Anurim ;) Thanks guys!!!!

[YahooLilu - Bobby Voicu (Yahoo! Romania Community Manager) & Sergiu Biris (www.trilulilu.ro Founder)]

Organized by Cristian Manafu/Evensys and proudly sponsored by Microsoft, first edition of Web Club took place last Thursday in Club Colocvio and gathered more than 90% of the online industry from Romania. The joke of the evening was that if something happened at the location (airplane crash, God forbid) probably the dot.ro business will freeze for a couple of years.

WebClub will consist of aprox. 10 meetings/year and access will be provided based on a membership fee. Access to new members will be granted based on recommendation from at least 2 current members. It’s a great opportunity for networking but also to get a sneak preview at exclusive presentations and news and probably in the future, a chance to meet with angel investors interested in the online business.

WebClub #1 consisted of some really interesting presentations from Vladimir Oane - about the a.Online entrepreneurship from Romania comparred to European one and b.Ubervu; the news that Calin Fusu (Neogen.ro) agreed to invest in Vertimo, a vertical search engine for local real-estate, created by Brainient (Emi Gal); great networking.

Here are my WebClub #1 Pictures - and more at Victor Kapra and Zoso.

I am a Mac. I just go my MacBook Pro 5 hours ago and I’ve been playing with it since, trying to figure out how Steve’s wonder works. This is just a test post using Qumana, a Mac replacement for Windows Live Writer.

First questions:

• how do I minimize all apps?
• what is a common replacement for “right click” when you try to copy the url of an image, etc ?
• what about “Home”, “End”, “Page Down”, “Page Up”, “Del” ?
• why have I waited so long to go the Mac way ? :)
• what is the most efficient way to run Windows on a Mac (Parallels, Bootcamp, VMware - heard about these but have no clue how they work and what are the differences between them) ? …for those apps that you are not ready to give up and that don’t have a Mac version already.

I’ll post more the following days, but please leave a comment if you can help with the above; don’t go LOL on me …I am a newbie! :P

Also, stay tuned on Webmyc for a photo story series with Romanian fortified churches from Transylvania. Just have to find time to put everything from last week together.
