Look closely at the screenshot of the Harvard Business Review’s home page, above. The [rightmost article](http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/cs/2009/09/a_single_question_haunts_me.html?cm_re=homepage-061609-_-secondary-1-_-headline) discusses the disadvantages of using of Twitter, but just below it is a button for subscribing to HBR’s Twitter feed. OK, it’s not as straightforward as that but I couldn’t resist showing the irony lurking on the surface. The …
Thank your teacher in six words, at [Teachersday.sg](http://teachersday.sg/). There are so many things I want to say, I don’t know where to begin. A few of my favourite teachers are, sadly, deceased. Would it look strange to write, ‘Rest in peace. We love you.”?
I was at the [Hitwise Singapore](http://sg.hitwise.com/) Online Performance Awards 2008 this evening. When I arrived at the venue, Indochine, surprisingly it wasn’t as packed as it was last year. It seems that one of the main taxi operator’s websites went down and people couldn’t book cabs. I joked to Hitwise’s boss that maybe next year …
[Kevin’s blog](http://theory.isthereason.com/) just got hacked. You can still catch up with Kevin on other social media platforms such as [Twitter](http://twitter.com/brainopera). Hang in there, Kev… Update: Kevin’s blog is [back](http://theory.isthereason.com/?p=2137)! Risen from the dead.
After hearing the buzz about Gmail offering IMAP access, but also hearing that this new feature wasn’t rolled out to everybody yet, I decided to check if my account had it. Sadly, it didn’t look like it and I thought, maybe it’s because they’re enabling it for the earliest Gmail users first. Then I checked …
A thought-provoking video on Facebook’s privacy policy and the risks we face, along with background info of some people pulling the strings behind the scenes. It alleges that there may be links with the CIA and US Department of Defence. Thanks to Overacuppa for sending me this link.
Two days ago, I received a desperate-sounding email from a friend of mine, telling me she had gone to Africa but had lost her money, was starving and about to be kicked out of her hotel. She asked for specific amounts of money. Copied below, word for word, is the email message. > How are …
I said it before, and I’m saying it again. A few years ago, Rojo was my favourite news aggregator – a news feeds reader with Digg-like properties all rolled into one. Then Six Apart bought it over. The design was changed and somehow I felt it looked less spontaneous and too structured. Many people seemed …
It was 1.45am, Singapore time. I saw Steve Rubel‘s Twitter post on how he was going to test Google’s search indexing speed by inventing a new word and posting it to Twitter. Out of curiosity, I Googled for ‘googlejewce’ and it showed up! In fact the search results stated that the Twitter post was made …
There’s a new Web 2.0 service called Fleck, which lets you make annotations on websites in a graphical format. For starters, here’s what I did for my own blog. Fleck will probably be useful in making notes on academic websites and other sources which currently do not have any feedback mechanism, such as the comments …
