After making my transactions in the necessary places left my page of accounts open for reference as I threw open Excel to do a little bit of personal finance planning.I just wanted to do a rough estimation of my income vs expenses to see where I stood on a monthly basis. (Not too shabby I must say)Then all of a sudden …
What I want to know is who convinved the CEO?If you visit skittles.com today, you’ll notice that there’s not much of a Skittles site save a floating widget.

Last week I had the chance to play with three of Sony’s latest Cyber-shots: the T77, T500, and T700 at their media/blogger event. For a guy who’s last digital camera was a Canon PowerShot A70 from 2001 (it was revolutionary at that time mind you), these new point-and-clicks were gifts from the future.My favourite was ...
Michael Banks has written a book published by Wiley on today's top bloggers called Blogging Heroes. 30 of them to be exact.What is even more interesting than the content of these blogs is the marketing behind it.

Recently I've been looking around for Singapore resources on wikis and realised there aren't too many that are really exciting.Apart from the Singapore Social Media directory which was put together by my Media Socialist friends, I thought up …

I love it when Google buys something because it is often turned into a freely available resource. This year, Google bought Hans Rosling's Gapminder which he used in his 2006 presentation at TED where he spoke on "Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you've ever seen".This is an awesome free tool. Now everyone to be their own statistician. I've had my bit of fun as …

This is a follow up form my previous post on finding conversations on the social media. Since posting that up I was sent and stumbled upon many more social media search engines. Yes, not just blog search engines like Google BlogSearch or Technorati, but social media search engines that attempts to index the conversations on ...
Just read a great post on Seth Godin's blog about ideas. He says:I responded that ideas are easy, doing stuff is hard.My feeling is that the more often you create and share ideas, the better you get at it.This is a philosophy I absolutely agree with.I work in a business that's all about ideas (some say relationships, but that's for the folks without ideas I say. hee...).
