This proposed law will need approval from the EU’s member state followed by the ratification from European Parliament that takes up to two years to be approved. But when that time comes, this law unify all 27 EU member states under a single set of privacy rules.

Viviane Reding, a spokeperson for European Union justice commissioner, and Matthew Newman, said that the proposed law are for protecting young people because we, yes we i’m included because im still young , are not aware that there are always consequences in putting pictures and personal details on social networking sites.

You, as an Internet user, do you think we should be granted a “right to be forgotten” law? Care to share what’s on your mind right now? Because me, i don’t want to be forgotten. If you know what i mean, hehe.

Mobile marketing is expected to penetrate in the Philippines with Filipinos now getting matured and responsive to mobile browsing. The latest data from Yahoo Index Net 2011 revealed 57% of women and 43% of men getting accustomed into mobile browsing. The report suggested a better indication to brands and advertisers in the region to embrace seriously into mobile advertising tactic. Telecom industry and technology providers, on other hand, are seen to become active players in the Philippine advertising scene.

Overall, the app is super simple in design, but it is functional. As you can see in an iPhone snapshot to the left, the app has three tabs — Search, Stations and Popular. The Search tab lets you look for artists, songs and albums. When you find a song you want to hear from your searches, tap the song and it will begin playing and show up in a black bar at the bottom of the screen.

The Stations tab shows all kinds of pre-made radio stations, such as 80s, 90s Alt Rock, Ambient, Indie and R&B. And the Popular tab shows several of the most-listened to songs playing on Grooveshark. We’d definitely like to see more additions, such as artwork on songs that are playing and social recommendations, but this is still beta so we expect more in the future.

Have you checked out Grooveshark’s HTML5 app? What do you think?

“The goal is to help local businesses adopt into a technical-free mobile initiative where their focus will be managing and optimizing their campaigns. They provide them with ‘user-friendly’ tools to take control of all their needs in their mobile campaigns”, says Frederick Saurat, co-founder of TheTMSway.

It also provides a new and easy way to access directly to a mobile offer via a simple TMS code, (a new generation of free intelligent shortcodes associated to a new mobile search engine of code ‘TMS search’) which reduces the time of browsing at a mobile site and shortens long URL addresses.

“Their recent tests done with TV broadcasters in Asia have shown an impressive result in terms of consumer adoption and inspired them more in their objective of making TMS become a new, and post SMS, standard to bring excitement in the new generation of phones,” adds Mr. Saurat.

“They are working already with major brands and media agencies to transform traditional media ad campaigns into real time ‘interactive touch points’ using it to bridge consumers; and now, with this new M-Commerce platform, they can also propose to clients to associate a ‘real time and personalized mobile deal’ to certain of their offline campaigns. At the same time, consumers using TMS will be able to discover a new product, buy it at a privileged price, and recommend it to friends”, says Jonathan Ellis, CEO of TheTMSway.

Desktop users of Gmail have been able to login into multiple accounts simultaneously for some time–mobile users can now do it, also. Accessing multiple accounts is as easy as tapping the new account switcher button at the bottom of mobile Gmail’s browser interface. That will display a pop-up menu that gives you the option of switching between accounts or signing in to all accounts simultaneously.

“Of course, if you don’t already have multiple accounts enabled, you will need to enable it first by visiting your account settings and selecting the box that allows you to access multiple Google accounts in the same browser,” Juli Clover reminded Gmail users in the PadGadget blog.

If you do use multiple accounts, you might want to create a bookmark that lives on the application screen of your device for each account. Not all devices support this feature, but iOS phones and tablets, which use the Safari browser, do. On those devices, while Gmail is in your browser window, tap the bookmark icon beside the address bar and from the pop-up menu that appears, choose “Add to Home Screen.”

The additions aren’t huge; they’re mostly standard features that are just new to this version of the service. There are still quite a few reasons to pull up the web version of Gmail, and an update like this makes things easier for those times. Despite all of its issues, I would still recommend hooking up your Gmail to the iPhone’s mail app, but having the web service to use when you want is very helpful. – tuaw

As Google aptly titled its blog post announcing the change; AdMob is for mobile app developers. AdSense is for mobile web publishers.

And for mobile apps advertising, all AdSense for Mobile Applications beta participants have been switched to AdMob, which Google says is now the primary ad solution for mobile app developers. But Google is still sorting out the overlap and determined that mobile web publishers should go to AdSense, and mobile app publishers should use AdMob.

Terms for Skype’s GroupMe acquisition were not disclosed, but some estimates peg the acquisition around $85 million, according to AllThingsD. Skype is itself being acquired by Microsoft, which purchased the Internet telephony company in May for $8.5 billion.

For now, GroupMe will continue as a standalone application instead of being integrated into Skype’s mobile and desktop apps, according to GroupMe’s acquisition announcement.

But GroupMe features are likely to appear in Skype eventually. “This acquisition is another step towards our vision to provide a global multi-modal and multi-platform communications experience,” Skype’s CEO Tony Bates says in blog post.
