Google Wave, A new Google Product

2009-10-17T20:04:00.003+08:00

Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

Does it sound like a Facebook ?

Google launched Waves by specially inviting 100,000 users. These invitees in return are allowed to invite up to 8 others.

Request an invitation to Google Wave here: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/wavesignup/

What is Do Follow Blog ? - 1

2009-10-17T19:36:00.004+08:00

By default, blogs are No Follow. Links with "nofollow" do not count as backlinks to Google and other search engine, hence you do not get the search engine ranking benefit. For example, if you leave your comment in a Do Follow blog with your backlink, search engine would be able to rank you.

You can make your blog a DoFollow blog too.

Google DoFollow blog, and you will be able to get a list of dofollow blogs and social bookmarking sites. This is one way you can increase your backlinks and increase your page rank.

In your blog code, search for rel="nofollow" and remove it.

Need funding for your project ? Check out this online funding platform.

2009-10-04T10:56:00.000+08:00

Kickstarter.com is a online fund raising platform for artists, designers, filmmakers, musicians, journalists, inventors ... to test and realize their ideas.

Project creators can offer products, services or other benefits ("rewards") to inspire people to support their project: A hot-air balloon ride to the first person to pledge $300, an invitation to the BBQ for anyone who pledges more than $5, exclusive daily video updates for anyone who pledges more than $1. It's up to each project creator to sculpt their own offers and there's lots of cool ways to do it. (Want to see a great example? Google "Josh Freese")

People who pledge also receive access to all project updates (posts, video, pics, etc.). "Project Updates" is our fancy name for the project blog. Some project creators may post 10 updates a day, others may rarely post. Some may make all their posts publicly viewable, others may set all their posts as exclusive to their backers.

They're pledges because money is collected only if a project reaches or exceeds its funding goal before time expires. If a project's funding goal is $5,000 and only $4,999 is pledged when time expires, no money is collected. Zip, zero. Also, no rewards will be delivered. No funding, no rewards. Everyone walks away as if nothing happened.

Amazon.com processes all the pledges on Kickstarter. When you decide to make a pledge, we'll quickly take you to Amazon.com to confirm. If you have an Amazon.com account this takes only a few clicks. If you don't have an Amazon.com account, Amazon will ask you to register during the pledge process, but it's relatively painless. You won't need to do anything annoying (like stop in the middle and check your email).

Funding ends when time expires. At that point one of two things happens:

1. If a project has reached or exceeded its funding goal when time expires, all backers' credit cards are instantly charged and funds go directly to the project creator.
2. If funding doesn't succeed, all pledges are immediately canceled like nothing ever happened. That's it!

If a project is successfully funded, Kickstarter will apply a 5% charge to the funds raised. If funding isn't successful, there are no charges.

Mika Häkkinnen never drink and drive?

2009-09-07T12:50:00.014+08:00

Johnnie Walker launches Join the Pact, a global campaign to encourage people with the idea of NEVER DRINK and DRIVE.

This is a kinda funny because Johnnie Walker is supposed to encourage people to consume more alcohol. Well, that make sense, because JW's tagline is "keep on walking", so never drink and drive but DRINK and WALK... ROFL

Support the campaign and sign up here: Join the PACT

Johnnie Walker’s Global Responsible Drinking Ambasaddor Mika Häkkinen is coming to Malaysia to create more awareness about responsible driving - never to drink and drive. He will be officiating the launch of the Join the Pact campaign on 12th September 2009 at Sunway Pyramid plus doing a live demo run of the JTP Super Car.

A special blogger with the best post will be given a chance of a lifetime to ride in the JTP Super Car with Mika Häkkinen as your designated driver.

So, uncles and aunties who always drink and drive please join the pact and dont drink while driving; those who don't drink, non of your business; those who don't like others drink and drive, you are welcome ... those who dont care, i dont care either....

Enough crap. To me, never drink and drive is impossible because i have no partner to send me home unless i overnight at my friend's house after partying. Instead of drive safely, i drink safely ... and here are the tips

1. drink plenty of water during boozing session
2. eat well before you drink ... protein .. you need more protein
3. try not to mix drinks
4. and always knows when to stop ... I know it is tough especially when you are HIGH.
5. Do not drink TEA after boozing session.

And you have the option to:

1. throw up
2. overnight in your car (which i did before)
3. sleep in toilet (and this too ... )

If i have the chance to interview Mika, i would like to know whether he really never drink and drive.

Dissolving Bikini : Get Naked Bikini

2009-08-02T17:37:00.001+08:00

A German company has invented the perfect revenge gift; a dissolving swimsuit. Named the "Get Naked Bikini," the black bikini feels and looks like the real thing, but after three minutes in water, it completely disolves. All you're left with is a completely nude, and most likely embarrassed, woman. Seems all in good fun, right?

But the bikini has angered some women's rights groups. One campaigner, Rosmarie Zapfl, stated that "it is an absolute insult to women that this has been invented." I guess what Rosmarie and other women's rights campaigners failed to realize is that the company also created dissolvable swim trunks for men. Hypocritical much?

You can buy the Women's Bikini and Men's Trunks from racheshop.de. The site not only ships throughout Europe, but to the USA as well.

Honda: The Power of Dream

2009-07-10T17:52:00.004+08:00

Honda Advanced Technology

I was happy that Honda engaged me to do a research on their technology. Honda is going to have a “Honda Advanced Technology Roadshow” from June to August. For details, you can visit http://www.honda.com.my/advancedtechnology

With the technology advancement and the younger generations that treat internet as their real world more than the physical ones, internet platform has become one of the best channel to do branding, be it cost effectiveness, ease of information access, interactive flash advertisement and online interactive as well as discussion over a brand. The word of mouth spreads faster than ever.

Consumers nowadays are sophisticated enough to do research about the product they want and trust the online advice rather than calling the agents for a test drive, especially for the younger generation.

Some information about Honda …

Honda – The Power of Dream

Honda, a leading Japanese brand as well as a strong global competitor, has been emphasizing on technology advancement in order to become a strong rival in extensive competition domestically or globally. Its ingenuity and engineering skill pushes Honda to forefront in developing futuristic fuel-cell cars as well as robotic products. Surveys were being carried out and Honda has been on top of the list being ranked as least polluting of 6 biggest players in US market on average fuel economy and emission and the amount of greenhouse gas emission.

Honda, the Greenest automaker, continues to demonstrate, not just promise, its commitment to clean air, an effort to environment preservation. The leader is striving to maintain the leadership in new technologies development and application to address critical environment challenges. Focus is on fuel efficiency improvement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming; reducing smog-forming emissions to address air pollution; and advancing real-world alternatives to gasoline to promote energy sustainability.

The power of Honda’s dream will continue to lead to new insights and technologies in automobiles, motorcycles, power products, parts and other fields of mobility.

What do I like about Honda?

Definitely is the road show model!

Of course I am not that shallow. Other than that would be her technology and elegant exterior design.

Technology?

She is really irresistible …..
