Here, I’ll be streaming live, the “Twitter and Facebook appications workshop” as much as I can, held at Universidad de Palermo, for the “Social Media week, Buenos Aires” Friday’s event…

…if I’m allowed to.

Para hacerle honor al social media week, decidí encontrar los medios para hacerlo con mi teléfono, mas que con equipo profesional. Luego de probar Justin.tv, y su aplicación para iphone, no busqué más, y está probado: funciona. Mañana veremos si me dejan, y aqui debajo vendrá el resumen.

Con la coordinación de un tipo super macanudo, una mezcla de Caniggia y Dolina, Claudio Albornoz se llevó a cabo el primer evento del “Social Media Week Buenos Aires” en la Universidad de Palermo, con la participacion de los siguientes expertos en el tema:
Leandro Zanoni->Tercerclick, Alejandro Piscitelli->Profesor la UBA, Claudio Albornoz->Enlace Social, Hernan Nadal->Greenpeace Argentina, Antonio Peña->Mobile Monday Buenos Aires, Vane de Matthaeis->Wunderman, Gisella Buzzi->Zag Group, Martin Hazzan->Nextperience y Walter Ioli->DDB.

Los temas fueron dos, “La Red y yo: ¿Cómo hacemos Social Media los argentinos?” y “Social Media y Publicidad: ¿Desafío a la creatividad?” y cubrieron varios temas que tocan de cerca al social media en español, para los que no navegan internet en inglés un mínimo de 3 horas por día. Para todos los demás, probablemente en esa sala, nos quedará seguir creando ideas de como aprovecharla sin buscar respuestas en otros lados.

Luego de hacer websites los ultimos años y meterme de lleno a los blogs y SEO en INGLES, este evento me dió la impresión (espero equivocarme) de que Argentina es un país generoso, y que aún no hay (more…)

I unlocked my iPhone 4 with jailbreakme.com, and it was the fastest unlocking ever. Less than 5 minutes.
After buying a smartphone plan at Movistar, Argentina and fighting the whole week to get it to work, I found out the “carrier update” was good to install, and did something I forgot to do with this phone before, that AT&T and Apple recommends for a similar issue: turning on/off the phone, waiting a few minutes, airplane mode, 3G and cellular data on/off each, resetting network settings…
That got rid of the “no data plan…” message, and the processing wheel started to spin, no internet connection though.

Argentinian customer service reps never saw an iPhone at that service center. The guy who sold me the plan seemed to register the unit with a “Blackberry” code, not iPhone, but they concluded it should work fine anyway, even clearer when they put the SIM in one of their phones (I don’t know what brand) and it got data and the expected SMS configuration messages :(

After doing all I found in internet by Sept 02 2010 for a whole week, I was about to return the plan to Movistar (Argentina).

I put the SIM in an iPhone 3G, which Movistar sells down here in Argentina (I had to re-build the SIM with extra card material) to test whether my data plan or my iPhone4 were wrong as a last resource.

When I put the SIM back into my iPhone4 to call Movistar to tell them they can put the data plan in their… it suddenly started to work.

Either the SIM told the carrier “yes, here’s a known device” when put in the iPhone3G or the scotch tape I used to cover the CHIP edges (the trimmed down SIM’s chip is bigger and may get in contact with the tray’s frame) fixed the issue.

I hope that helps.
