I like this rendition of the future. Especially the part when copyright becomes illegal and there are no such things as ads. Maybe in the future, marketing will be about content creation and not controlled message dissemination.Imagine this, instead of a series of TV commercials, companies will spend the money to produce a feature film.Instead of hosting press conferences, PR …
This so doesn't belong on my blog. But want to know how to make every corner of your office laugh? Send them this clip!
VMware seems to be taking the competition with Parallels pretty seriously. I wonder if there's a difference between Unity and Coherence?BTW, the pre-order of VMware Fusion is out today with a discounted price of US$39.99! Yay!GA is expected in August 2007. That's what they say.(VMware is a Hill & Knowlton client)
In the PR business we sometimes use fancy terms such as "Share of Voice" to denote the amount of media coverage a client gets. This is often done in direct comparison against what the competition gets and this information is terribly helpful for us in PR to find out how effective our work has been. This is often also taken as a measure of influence.But now I'm beginning to …
Saw this first on Dan Li's blog. I like how commoncraft is making a good effort to dumb down Web 2.0.
I was just doing my banking online using DBS iBanking. 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 …
Today I signed up for and installed Carbonite Online PC Backup on my HP notebook. This backup and recovery software is unlike the traditional backup-to-disk ones because it isn't just software but a service as well and backup is done over to Internet to secured remote servers (that aren't even mine).I have to say that this is quite a novel idea. Previously I use EMC …
Was at BlogOut 2007 on Thursday evening at the Geek Terminal. I wouldn't dare say it was a blogger event, but more a geek convention with most in attendance happening to be bloggers.Between song, food, and drink, serious discussion was had in breakout tables. The table I was at focused on the topic of corporate blogging. I was kinda forced to join it by Bernard who wanted "PR …
This waterspout was seen from the office of Hill & Knowlton in Singapore. Quite an amazing sight which my colleagues have come to call "The finger of God".
The first line on SE roundtable's blog post today about bookmarking reads:Traditional bookmarking seems obsolete. Adding a bookmark to your browser, to many, is a practice that has been since seemingly replaced by newer methods -- social bookmarking sites, if you will.I am a long-time del.icio.us user and absolutely love social bookmarking, but to make a statement as the one …
I don't normally blog about my personal life, and especially not my Saturdays, but yesterday was amazingly serendipitous that I had to share. Almost like living the above movie (just without the romance).Yesterday I made an old friend. I did it by...showing up at her boyfriend's house warming party;accidentally making life difficult for her the previous day (without knowing …
Singapore-based OSIM, known best for its massage chairs, has ordered YouTube to remove its copyright ads uploaded by users. My friend and fellow blogger I.Z. Reloaded has been sent a DMCA notice to remove the clip of an OSIM iGallop ad he uploaded in January 24, 2006.I've used this particular uploaded ad in talks I've given at Hill & Knowlton and as a guest lecturer at …
Now which would give you a better understanding? Boring textbook diagram above or facinating 3D animation with useful captions and clear voice over? Now I know why I didn't do well in school. I was born too early!Jokes aside, the juxtaposition of the two is making me re-think communication and its effectiveness in this new world of multimedia.Most of us in the communications …
Dear Blogger,The National Heritage Board of Singapore invites you to make museums come alive online during International Museum Day 2007 (IMD 2007). There will be more than 80 special even …
Today I had lunch with Ian McKee, CEO of Vocanic, a Singapore-based marketing company that specialises in word of mouth marketing. Ian was my tipping point into the world of marketing. Sometime in early-2006 he introduced me to the book Buzzmarketing by Mark Hughes. If you're into marketing, you'll definitely want to read it.So to meet the man again was quite a delight and …
Online Videos by Veoh.comThe Ruckus MetroFlex DZ is basically a super-powered WiFi receiving antenna that plugs directly into your computer's Ethernet port. The reason it's called the MetroFlex is because it is designed as a CPE to "extend" metropolitan WiFi signals and bring them into the house or premise.In this review I show how it works on Wireless@SG, Singapore's first …
I'm here at Geek Terminal now. It's a yet to be launched restaurant / cafe for the bohemian geek. I was here to meet Kevin for our little "project" (you'll see it soon) and it so happened that the Ping.sg meetup is here too! (But that's another story)Here are some photos of some of the cool stuff you'll find here.The Flash bar. Its really Flash, as in Macromedia Flash. There …

My blog is worth $20,887.98.How much is your blog worth?Found this on Alvin's blog. It's a fun widget that plays on your blog as a ratio of the AOL-Weblogs deal. It uses Technorati's API.As far as I'm concerned, I haven't seen one cent of that amount.
Sigh. Just got the above letter in an email from Pandora. As of today (US time) they will be stopping access to all IP addresses outside of the US and UK. This is terrible news as Pandora is my favourite social music site.Looks like the next few hours before the US wakes up to 3 May 2007 is the last chance I get to listen to my well customised and well loved stations on …
