by

TwitterThe beauty of the Internet is that you get to discover so many cool things, even though some of them may be old. Today’s post is an example of an oldie, but goodie. I am not sure if you have seen it already, but I have to admit that today is the first time I laid my eyes on it.

How long have you been on Twitter? Think back to the first time you heard of the platform. Did you immediately jump into the bandwagon? Did you immediately create an account? [Read more…] about Don’t Get Twitter? Here Are the Four Stages of Getting Twitter

Will it ever end? I mean the need to show the world – at least your world – that you have a girl friend, or a boy friend for that matter? Some time last year, we heard about Cloud Girl Friend, the automated system which can give you a virtual girlfriend so that you won’t come off as lonely on Facebook.

While it did seem that the service held some promise – after all, there is a huge market for a Facebook girl friend, I suppose – Cloud Girl Friend did not really fly. The main reason for this is that Facebook has a ban on computer-controlled accounts, which is rather understandable. [Read more…] about Get a Facebook Girl Friend for USD5

How many of your phones – or other electronic devices – have succumbed to their naturally occurring enemy called water? I cannot count the horror stories that I have heard about mobile phones, laptops, etc. that have gotten dunked into a body of water, have been at the receiving end of a spilled glass of liquid, and so on. I am pretty sure that you are no stranger to this as well.

As far as I can recall, the worst thing that happened to me was a now ancient Nokia phone falling into a mug of hot chocolate. Amazingly enough, the phone still worked after getting dried out! Not everyone is that lucky, though, and a very expensive phone can easily die on you after getting wet. No brainer. [Read more…] about Waterproof Your Phone with Liquipel

Anyone who has had to fly coach probably has experienced the nightmare of having an incompatible seat mate. If you are the type who just likes to spend time sleeping, reading, or listening to music, the antagonist in the nightmare is the seat mate who just will not stop trying to chat you up. Even when you pointedly put your earphones on. If you are the kind who likes to meet new people and learn about them, then you might be the antagonist.

Finger pointing will not do any good, though, as we all are unique in our own ways. The only solution is to be tolerant of others, isn’t it?

Think again! If you’re lucky enough to have the option of flying Malaysia Airlines or KLM, you have a chance to pre-select your seat mate on the plane using social media. [Read more…] about Choose Your Next Airplane Seat Mate Using Social Media
