Those who are in my friend list on Facebook know that I am an avid sharer, sharing YouTube videos, interesting news, constant status updates, all just to distract them. Just kidding. Anyway, there is a new application in town! Not exactly an application, rather, a website: PostPost.com. This is the browser version of Flipboard. In [...]
Apparently, there are scammers/data miners who are exploiting features, or lack of it, on Facebook. For many years, as far back as when Facebook first started, countless of users have been asking or requesting for a similar feature to Friendster’s “Who viewed my profile”. Steadfastly, Facebook held their ground and refuse to allow such a [...]
The following is just a rehash of what I have posted on my Facebook wall. It simply highlights the danger of liking random pages. Consider this a public service announcement. There is a “Nikon camera giveaway” (note the quotation marks) on Facebook (http://guyinawindchair.com/nikon/). It is a scam. Do not like not it. If you have, [...]
Once again, I have to thank Daphne from XPR for the chance to interact with Peter Parkes (as seen explaining the features of Skype on TV) at the Skype booth at CommunicAsia 2010. Just in case you do not know who is Peter Parkes, he leads the social media function at Skype as part of [...]
Cherlynn shared something on Plurk, which I think validly applies to everyone at some point(s) in life:
Microsoft has suspended a new internet messaging service in China, after it emerged that the site was partially based on code stolen from a rival startup. The site, Juku, launched in November is similar in concept to other online messaging systems like Twitter. But earlier this week the team behindPlurk, a young internet company based in [...]
I was chilling out on Plurk when this came up: Yes. You must be thinking, Microsoft China ripping off Plurk? See for yourself. In this blog post, a comparison was done between the design and the codings. They have uncanny similarities between them. Except for visual changes, I cannot see that Microsoft China created its [...]
There will be a flash mob later at Orchard. I just received news of it on Facebook. It is perfect for those who wants to have pillow fights. Remember to bring pillows for it. Please refer to the Facebook event page for more information. P.S. I am falling sick. It is probable that I will [...]
Here is a just for laughs video involving dozens of sheep in a pasture somewhere in the United Kingdom. Credits should go to @Endoh for highlighting this on Plurk. Enjoy!
Long ago, someone on Plurk mentioned about the size of clique that one can have. I did not follow the thread all the way. But the gist that I get up till the point I followed until was that the size of the clique that one can be in is self-adjusting. Just how many cliques [...]
I enabled cross-posting to Facebook from my blog a long time ago. I know the readership isn’t high, but I do get some clicks from the Notes there. I wonder if everyone knows that Facebook does not allow posting of videos or any embed objects in the Notes. About half of my posts contain embedded [...]
My lecturer just produced some frightening figures from last semester’s exam papers. Apparently, the four papers I am taking are among those with the lowest passing rate. Hence, it is time for me to drop my happy-go-lucky attitude from now on. My updates on the Net is increasingly rare and it will remain this way. [...]
