Microblogging is currently a big hit to bloggers and other web users. Its like a mini blog that lets you post an update for around 140 characters more or less. Updates can be done via the web, IMs, SMS, email, and desktop clients. The usual feature is allowing you to see and reply to other’s posts and let them see and reply to yours too. Add on features would be posting pictures, videos, sounds and other stuffs aside from the usual text post. Features vary depending on which microblogging platform you’ll be using. The current most popular one is Twitter followed by Jaiku and Pownce.
I’m a Twitter user and has been an avid twitterer since then. I even put up my own Twitter blog and directory for my fellow Filipinos. Twitter has been the most popular microblogging platform and with its popularity and success a lot of microblogs popped out from every corner of the web. They described themselves as twitter-likes, twitter clones, or twitter plus more. Some offer the same service as Twitter’s and some offers even more features. So i guess its up to the users on which microblogging platform they’ll want to use probably depending on the design, the features, and the people. As for me, though i already tried to sign up on some just to check them out, Twitter will still be my main microblog. I’m still very satisfied with it and since i started with it already, it will be very hard to leave everything behind. Besides, i’m already used to calling my microblog updates as tweets/twits
Here’s a list of some microblogging platforms out there (in English content). You may sign up and start trying out their service though there’s some that require invites to get an account.
Every Friday and Saturday evening at around 7pm, a pyromusical event is held at the entertainment area of the Mall of Asia. I’ve been there and seen it live twice already. The first one was a few months ago which was in the tune of Sway. Its the best ive’ seen so far. This evening, i had the chance to watch it again since i was in MOA already. A few minutes before 7pm, we sat down on the stairway right in the middle to be able to get the perfect view of the event. The pyromusical event tonight was in the tune of My Immortal. As usual, i am always amazed with the fireworks display and all i could say is “wow”. Hehe. Good thing this time I was able to record it on video so i could watch it anytime i want to.
*Here is a copy of the video just in case anyone would want to see it
We had our team lunch today at La Maison’s in Greenbelt 5. Hmm its my first time in Greenbelt 5 and well its nice indeed. And the resto, hmmm the food tastes good, just that we had a bad experience with the service. First comment would be the place. It was hot, really. I’m not sure if Greenbelt’s air-condition system is poor or the place just heats up due to the number of people or the heat from the kitchen that they needed to put up an industrial fan on the dining area. Another would having smoke all over the place. I mean, they grill the steaks but hey, do they really have to let the smoke out on the dining area? It made our eyes teary and the smell did stick to our clothes. Second comment would be the very slow service - seriously. It my first time and most of us too to be able to wait more than an hour just to get your main course served. My manager got mad and complained for the poor service they showed us that the crew was guilty about. They kept on saying sorry for the delay explaining that there has been so many customers and the orders were all lined up and stuffs and the steaks need to be grilled for some exact number of minutes, etc. We understood that about the steak but about the other food we ordered like the soup which took a long time to be served too which is not even hot anymore? and giving the wrong orders? oh well, they admitted their mistake and so each of us got a free complimentary slice of this certain chocolate cake with cherry on top(i forgot what its called). Tastes good anyway. Thanks for the free yummy dessert…. hehe
Its my first time to post about a celebrity issue or controversy if its what it is called. I guess i just happen to be interested in this one after this has been one of the topics we had during lunch today. Everyone in our part of the table was surprised to hear about this news. Its been on the hot spot for a month now i think but guess we aren’t that aware or interested much in celebrity gossips and stuffs. I’m not familiar with the people involved in this issue except from the fact that i’ve been hearing DJ Montano’s name but never knew who he is nor how he looks like. Its only Tim Yap whom i’m a bit familiar adding the info that i learned today that he’s actually one my friend’s second degree cousin and one of my friend’s relative thru marriage. Truth to the news? sorry, i’m not a gossip girl.
A brief summary would be about the so-called relationship of DJ Montano and Brian Gorrell which turned out to be a he-dumped-me-after-he-got-my-money-now-i’m-getting-my-revenge-to-have-it-back scenario. According to Brian, their relationship ended after DJ used him and had his savings for a supposed-to-be investment for a resto. Then all that Brian wanted is to get his money back but since DJ is not returning it, Brian is now on his sweet revenge of revealing the dark secrets and lifestyle of the so-called socialites DJ Montano and his friends Celine Lopez, Tim Yap, etc. and tagging them as the Gucci Gang.
If you’re interested to find out about this and the people involved, just google the word “Gucci Gang” or “Gucci Gang controversy” and it will lead you to a lot of related links. But anyway, here’s two of the most important links…
At work or at home, try to switch off your lights and unplug electrical appliances for 60 minutes and join in on the global effort to help reduce global warming before it’s too late.
8pm Saturday March 29, 2008 is the Earth Hour 2008.
Spread the word to family and friends and see the world in a whole new light.
Right… I haven’t posted anything for weeks! Except for my short updates on Twitter. Hahaha so that’s what i call microblogging being so useful and convenient. I can update anywhere i am - at home, at work, or on the road - with my pc or my phone. And i can say anything from being so bored, to my happy thoughts, about what I’m currently doing, about where I’m currently at, and simply any random thought. Sweet isn’t it?
So my blog doesn’t just show whatever long post i have but it also shows all my short updates via the microblogging system called Twitter. I just love Twitter and needless to say, i’m so hooked on it. I’ve seen another one for microblogging called Jaiku which was recently acquired by Google. Looks neat and nice and pretty much like Twitter but i guess i’ll stick to Twitter. Besides,i think saying Twitter/Tweets/Twits etc.. is much cuter and well i don’t have any reason to leave Twitter. It serves it purpose and i’m satisfied with it. And of course, my Twitter blog - PinoyTwitterS.com - , it shows my dedication to Twitter and all pinoys out there who finds it useful and are hooked to it like me…
So if i haven’t updated here… Just check my Twitter updates on my sidebar. It sure is updated almost everyday.. hehehe
yey! finally i was able to watch the second volume of Heroes. it was really a great series and i just love it. Guess i’m really hooked on the supernatural thingy. The whole of season was a bit short compared to the first one but this one is full of excitement and action. i finished the whole thing in two sittings coz i was so full of question the moment i started watching the 1st episode i couldn’t wait for the ending to find our who’s who and why and what… haha. if not for my stupid headache i could have watched it all in one sitting.
Hmm.. i still think Peter is the cutest and hottest guy there. I wonder if Nikki died in the explosion…. i hate Angela Petrelli - crazy worthless mother! still i wonder why she let Nathan die.. or will he really die? And Sylar…yeah he’s back and damn… he’s probably gonna be the highlight villain next season. and that Caitlin girl…will Peter ever get her back from the future? and will Claire bear and West get togeher? hmmm…. and more more questions in my head…hehe
anyway, its been fun watching it and i couldn’t wait for volume three. hope it will out soon and be much longer.. as in bitin talaga ako! hahaha
I’ve never been a fan of local pinoy movies especially those mushy chick flicks starring the latest love teams of either network (GMA and ABS-CBN). Honestly, i only get to watch them on certain instances like if my grandparents happen to watch them on dvd or on tv at home. However, the story of My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend took my interest and somehow it made me want to watch it. But since it not my like to watch such movies in cinemas, i just bought a pirated copy in Quiapo last week.
