Internet.org is really helping Pinoys and 17 other nations to connect to select yet important websites for free. I am happy that an official straight from the U.S. arrived here a few days ago in a by-invitation tech event.
Ms. Jackie Chang, Product Partnerships Manager for Internet.org arrived here in the country in search for possible websites or start-ups that will be added possibly to Internet.org. More than just on press releases, she revealed some info that I want to share to you.
First was the partner sites adjustment to so that viewing experience will still be enjoyable. They had 3 steps: modify (which she gave Rappler as an example), scope and create. I am delighted on the technical specs which made the sites qualified for this project like no VoIP, flash, video, file transfer; having fallbacks on Javascript, iFrame and flash and to keep less pics and those images must be less than 200 kb.
I knew that there will be success stories not only on Pinoys who really helped thru the info that they get on Internet,org but also those partner sites. One example is GMA News website which they got 6x more site visits since they became one of it's partners here in the country.
