The due date for Imagine Cup 2012 Local Malaysia round one is coming soon and many Imagine Cup challenges second round due date too. As usual, recording a video of your system demo is usually one of the requirement for round one submission for Software Design in Imagine Cup Malaysia. If you haven’t start planing how to do your video demo, now is a good time to do so. Don’t wait until last minute because if you fail to plan mean you plan to fail.

Every year I’m sharing some tips and trick competitors should highlight and becareful when they are planning and creating their video demo of their system. I’m going to do this again this year. This is my personal point of view and it is NOT related with any Imagine Cup Malaysia round selection guide or what so ever. I would said, take it as a reference only.

Get Advertisement on Your Windows Phone App with Ad Rotator

19. March 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Windows Phone · Tags: , , , ,

Displaying advertisement in free app to generate some extra revenue is a very common approach use by many developers in many different platform. If you are living in the country where  Microsoft Advertising pubCenter is supported, then good for you because you will have a much easier life. But if you are not, or would like to show not only ad from Microsoft provider, then this post if for you.

I had personally tried Google AdMob and Smaato ad provider for Windows Phone before. They don’t work out nicely for me. Google AdMob SDK crash randomly when request ad from server (post). While Smatoo didn’t show any ad in the app some time when use in my home country (post). Microsoft Advertising pubCenter  is not an option for me since it is not available in Malaysia.

Then I come across Windows Phone 7 Ad Rotator, which can show ads from different providers. It support both Google AdMob and Smaato, so I decided to give it a try. End up it work perfectly in my app. The Ad Rotator solve the crash problem in Google AdMob native SDK (now I can use back AdMob) and it also help to display ad from different providers when the other provider fail to show any ad. For example, I set both Smaato and AdMob in Ad Rotator, when AdMob fail to show any ad,  Smaato will take over and show the ad instead. This help to maximize the revenue of your free app in many different countries.

Currently Ad Rotator is in version 1.0 which support Microsoft PubCenter, AdDuplex, Google AdMob, Inner-Active, MobFox, Smaato and Default House Ad. It also support both Silverlight and XNA app in Windows Phone. You can find a very easy tutorial here. It is very easy to integrate in your Windows Phone app. I will recommend any developer who want to show advertisement on their free app to give this a try.

I had now switch to Ad Rotator to display ads from Smaato and AdMob. Mainly because it can switch between different providers. When one failed to show, the others will take over. Second, I can add more ad providers later on without making any changes in my source code. Although I can further maximize the revenue by using different ad providers in different countries (eCPM will depend on the ad display, country and ad provider), but I don’t have any idea which ad provider give better pay on which country yet, so I will stick with 50-50 for Smaato and AdMob currently.

Stop Facebook Like Video 1.2

05. March 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

Those Chinese video sharing website just don’t give up, do they? They are adding more domain name to their video sharing website and force viewer to like and share the video before watching it. I had update the script to support up to 5 known domain name for the video sharing. If you found any new domain, just post on the comment and I will update the script to by pass that.

 

Script Description

Have enough for those website that force you to like the video before you can watch them? The worse part is the video will post on your Facebook wall without you knowing what is the content of the video at the first place.
This script can help you get rip of those trouble. When you click on the video link post by your friends, it will first load up the website and then the script will automatically redirect you to YouTube that playing that video bypass the like button. You no longer need to like the video first before you watch it and you can make sure your Facebook wall is clean without rubbish!
