Coming In 2010
Already in 2010 we are putting together plans for our posting throughout the year. We have some pretty major plans for this year and a number of partnerships will hopefully be formed over the next one or two months.
Everything we have planned is to try and make LM-BLOG one of the best resources of information on the latest internet developments. With a look at trying all new Blog services and Advertising systems, where possible, we will hopefully provide a mass of help to everyone.
This year more than ever we are going to give our visitors a say in what we publish. From this point onwards you can ask us to review a website, give advice on technology or advertising. Or really anything you want. Where possible we will publish all requests.
Read MoreYouTube video leads to Hollywood contract
A producer from Uruguay who uploaded a short film to YouTube in November 2009 has been offered a $30m (£18.6m) contract to make a Hollywood film.
The movie will be sponsored by director Sam Raimi, whose credits include the Spiderman and Evil Dead films.
Fede Alvarez’s short film “Ataque de Panico!” (Panic Attack!) featured giant robots invading and destroying Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.
It is 4 mins 48 seconds long and was made on a budget of $300 (£186).
So far it has had more than 1.5 million views on YouTube.
“I uploaded (Panic Attack!) on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios,” he told the BBC’s Latin American service BBC Mundo.
“It was amazing, we were all shocked.”

Read MoreEntrecard – Paid Sponsors Review *part 2*
This is the second part of my review of the Entrecard Paid Sponsors program. I have looked at it previously in “Entrecard – Paid Sponsors Review” and would like to fully conclude it now.
Time Scale Of Advert
Perhaps the biggest factor of my advert for me was how long will it be shown, ideally I wanted atleast one week as I know I am going to get as many views as possible by different users. However with the Entrecard system they seem to try to get your views over as quick as possible.
As soon as my ad went online my ad views started flying up (hundreds an hour) and I was already worried about the ad only lasting a day or 2. In the end the ad lasted just under 4 days.
Read MoreEntrecard – Paid Sponsors Review
As promised here is my review of the $25 sponsored ad on Entrecard, a system I had vowed to never use again. I will look at my own thoughts on the system but I will also give you thoughts and comparisons to my favourite advertising system – Adgitize.
Cost
First thing first, the cost of the Entrecard – Sponsored Ad did not really sound that unreasonable to me. At $25 it is only $1 more than Adgitize but has a guaranteed number of views. The cost for me at first seemed to be good and it was nice to be sure of what I was actually going to get. The one issue I had was that although they gave a cost and number of impressions they left out the period of time that the ad was expected to run.
Ease Of Use
