			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This time, I am addicted to 3 Web 2.0 services, they are <a href="http://www.evernote.com">Evernote</a> (don&#8217;t mistake with my wedding&#8217;s restaurant ^^), <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.tumblr.com">Tumblr</a>. Evernote is a noting services that help you to remember everything. Twitter and Tumblr are kinds of new blogging tool. The trend is: you can do your blogging anywhere. For an example, when you are travel in a bus and have no wifi, or even no space to use your lappy, you still can use your mobile to update your note to Twitter. When you update your Twitter, you can also add your update to Tumblr by using your synchronize application, what you can easy make one for yourself base on Twitter and Tumblr API systems. I think Evernote is on its way to build an API system, or plan to release it soon.</p>
<p>Last week, I was read an article in <a href="http://www.bnok.com">Bnok</a> about Web 2.0 named &#8220;<a href="http://bnok.vn/hungnd/?p=21">Lại nói về thị trường web 2.0</a>&#8220;. With all of my respect, I can say that the article author doesn&#8217;t know anything about Web 2.0 and what can they do to perfect our life?. All of Vietnamese Web 2.0 startup is just focus into the teenage. Teenage certainly have their own value, but they are using all of Vietnamese Web 2.0 startup as the playground for them. It&#8217;s hardly for you to find some startup focus into another target audience, except <a href="http://www.vietnamworks.com">Vietnamworks.com</a>, or <a href="http://www.baomoi.com">Baomoi.com</a>. The reason is them startup don&#8217;t have any choice. The average age of Vietnamese who uses internet is between 14 to 40. The 14 to 24 years old group is the most using one, spending a lot of time on computer. Almost users using Web 2.0 for their needs to show off themselves. The rest are geeks, always do geeky way, that means they choose World Wide startup, not Vietnamese. In this situation, Vietnamese Web 2.0 must think about trying to make people attracted by some useful services instead of try to server the teenage only.</p>
<p>Tumblr, Twitter, Evernote aren&#8217;t the playground for people, although someone use them as the place to express themselves. Everyone uses there services because its separate utilities. Before teenage grow up, we must have another services to server them, for them needs to work, to stock their data, and collaboration. The trend of Web was changed, not only making user-centric but also making data-centric service. I can&#8217;t still find any Vietnamese Web 2.0 which I can use as a service, so, don&#8217;t talk too much until I find one. Don&#8217;t ever talk about something just start and never up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please stay calm, I am too busy this time. My wedding is coming, but I still have a lot of things to do. I have to say sorry to whom waiting for my redesign from the beginning still then. I stop my design, coding and theme building, but my blogging. Next time, I will introduce my grid system building progress to you. For who cannot find principle of elements organization, make sense for blocks relationship and force your content follows your hierarchy design, I hope it can help.</p>
<p>About the current theme I am using for my blog, it&#8217;s presentation still contain some bugs if viewing in IE, but it&#8217;s design is bright. I love it, and hope you too. Thanks for coming and stand against my stupid English. ^^</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to say sorry about my lack of update in this blog. I have just brought an apartment so I have a lot of things to do.</p>
<p>After deleted old blogs, I suddently realized that I dont want to see this theme any more. I planned to redesign my theme. Redesign means I have chance to implement my elements of design into this WordPress theme design work. When I really begin, I will list-out all tasks here. I dont have any experience about WordPress theme design, so give me yours in your comments.</p>
<p>I hope you all happy with my new beginning.</p>
