Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto - The real Dancing Robot

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto - The real Dancing Robot

I just wanted to send this video out one more time before YouTube blocks the audio.

The audio dose include a few short samples taken from the Mr. Roboto performance by Stix that is posted here on YouTube. Although the version I have posted is a remix I created it seems more important to block my video and not the many 100% copyright infringements made by posting the original with the whole song or even other unlicensed videos with audio containing the entire composition. Some of which have been posted for more than 2 years.
Well please enjoy it if it still works by the time you get this post. Once they block the audio I will leave the video up with a swapped audio track.

If you have any comments about sampled music or this video please post comments.

Friendster Now Available in Tagalog

FRIENDSTER NOW AVAILABLE IN TAGALOG

Over 90 Million Tagalog Speaking Filipinos Globally Can Now Use Friendster
To Keep in Touch with Friends and Family

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – January 27, 2009 – Friendster, Inc., a top 20 global website based on traffic* and the #1 social network in Asia, today announced that Friendster.com is available in Tagalog, the most popular language in the Philippines that is used by over 90 million people worldwide. Friendster’s mobile site m.friendster.com will also launch in Tagalog in the coming days. This new language addition on Friendster gives the 14 million Internet users in the Philippines and users around the world a greater choice of languages with which to navigate the site, share content and use Friendster’s complete set of social networking features.

Friendster.com now fully supports 11 languages – English, Bahasa Indonesian, Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Malay, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai and Vietnamese. These languages represent over 70 percent of the world’s Internet users, or approximately a billion Internet users in total. Friendster’s mobile site m.friendster.com supports 7 languages – English, Bahasa Indonesian, Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional), Malay, Korean and Tagalog.

“Over 90 percent of all Internet users in the Philippines are currently using Friendster, which is an order of magnitude larger than any other social network in the country. Launching support for Tagalog on the Friendster web and mobile sites will help us maintain our leadership position in the Philippines and within Filipino communities around the world,” said David Jones, vice president of global marketing at Friendster.

79 million people in the Philippines – 85 percent of the total population of 93 million – are not yet using the Internet.

“Friendster in Tagalog gives even more Filipinos a reason to get started online and join their friends and family on Friendster. And, for those Filipinos who don’t have regular access to a computer, they can join and enjoy Friendster via their mobile phone by visiting the m.friendster.com mobile site. We look forward to welcoming millions of Tagalog speakers to the Internet and to Friendster,” said Jones.

Users can set their language of choice on Friendster several ways through links at the top right of every page of the Friendster.com website, the “Settings” link at the website or mobile site, or the Languages link at the bottom of the homepage of the mobile site at m.friendster.com.

Friendster also announced today the ability for advertisers to target ads on Friendster based on the language preference of the Friendster user. With this new enhancement, advertisers can choose to target ads on Friendster via geographic location, age, gender and/or language preference. In the Philippines, for example, this will be particularly useful for advertisers to target ads in the Tagalog language to users who have chosen to use Friendster in Tagalog and ads in English to users who prefer to use Friendster in English.

Tagalog is spoken by more than 64 million Filipinos, or about 70 percent of the total population in the Philippines. Tagalog is spoken throughout the world outside of the Philippines and is most popular within Filipino ethnic groups. There are approximately 90 million Tagalog speakers globally, and it is the fifth most spoken language in the United States.**
