See this video, witness how the Paramore and Parawhore made my point..

Look at that amazing crowd! After that Ancol show, I’ve just realized that Indonesian Parawhores heart paramore to their bones.. I hope Hayley can endure this era of Paramore longer..

Valerio’s basic idea is to exploit this technology medium (internet) for a better collaboration platform for musician everywhere. Few he said were about musician finding partners for song completion, music arrangement, sharing equipments, general music venue information, independent labels, distribution and more.. My dumb capitalist first thought was songs exchange between local musics. eg. Indonesian songs to be translated into Italian with few modifications on instrument or  music arrangement.. Well, dumb isn’t it..

I was so excited to get involve in that project.. until then I browsed around to find out about the existing music portal or specifically, a social network for musician. I found out these two sites very helpful: Which social networking site is most useful to you and list of social networking websites (wikipedia), which then I filtered it to get the musician related only:

• http://www.reverbnation.com/
• http://www.indabamusic.com
• http://audimated.com/
• http://www.buzznet.com/
• http://www.vocalist.org.uk/
• http://www.linked-musicians.com/
• http://www.gogoyoko.com
• http://www.tmntv.com/
• http://www.musiciansnetwork.com (the lousy got the domain)

Not all above is about music end to end music production collaboration platform. Some only do the marketplace. Anyhow, as an internet enthusiast, I feel that some of those actually has already has functions that Valerio told me. Oh.. yes, he did say that it would be much better if the project is done by musicians.. for whatever that means, I support his cause..

Finally.. please visit freemindfactory.com (currently only in Italian)

I can’t undo any of those evil things I had done to you.. Surely I live it regretfully each day..

I wish you and Donita have a much better life today..

Happy birthday Nana Sutarman

sincerely yours

This also create an awareness to software/web developers of what is going to be hot on the market in near future. The internet won’t be the internet again, because almost everyone and everything is in it, using devices and services to access the most organized informations. Just like Google has it in their mission..
However, worry not for everything is easy to find/to do.. The life and universe remains the biggest mystery..

Can Indonesian develop sort of devices? Ups.. Sorry the appropriate question is “would Indonesian develop such devices?”

For me, there’s an issue that I never been through before.. and I have to go through this time.. In this matter, I have to choose wisely, wether I should act like a king, peasant, loser, coward, knight, lover, or simply a gentleman.. but never be a hero…

For me is cleaning things up. Clean up the mess that disturb everybody.. It was a true mess from the scratch.. when it was published, people in my circle know.. Google and all other social tools I joined, make it even worse… I have to clean myself up..

That post was meant for a destruction… What, who, where, how… doesn’t matter anymore.. It ruined some people life.. and of course mine also.. I had deleted it… and more cleaning jobs…

This post is a part of being myself. I’m not an Englishman.. I am Indonesian!

Do you have comment?

Not all of my Indonesian friends listed on the page. It’s not that I don’t want to but most caused by their locations aren’t generic for Indonesian, like living abroad or location that doesn’t exist in this planet. Mahadewa (lives in London) and Aulia (lives in his iPhone) are perfect example for this. To solve it, I will add them manually to the list. 

More about Indonesian (Jakartans) Tweeters, we use @jtug (a twitter bot) as a tool for broadcast within ourselves, a hub to any (Indonesian) strangers and many other contextual purposes. I also tweet at @jtug whenever I want use Indonesian language in my tweet. JTUG is an acronym for Jakarta Twitter User Group.

enjoy the list.

What I’m about to share is how this social media really make things change. You, most likely never met me in real, but somehow we can easily be connected in social tools like Twitter and Facebook then people have this impression just like we went to junior high together (confession: I did not have many friends back in junior high). There’s nothing new about this experience if you have been using Facebook or Twitter for years and you live in North America or Europe, but it’s new for me, an Indonesian, even with ‘at least’ years of experience with active accounts on Twitter, Friendfeed, Digg and Facebook.

These are new for me.. My father recently joined and make tons of various posts in Facebook. The 67 y.o also made friends with hundreds peeps…

On second thought, I will do 2008 review and foresee 2009 posts. Personal updates for sure.. (enjoy)

uh. btw. according to this site, I joined Twitter since September 2006.

the initiative: southeast asia blogging party

I believe that somebody else had already mentioned about this initiative sometimes in the Pesta Blogger 2008, since also attended few foreign bloggers from SouthEast countries like Malaysia, Philiphines and Singapore. This post simply appreciates the initiative, then spread it and hopefully becoming..

Personally I wish somewhere else than Jakarta but still in Indonesia will host such event but in the spirit of SEA (and ASEAN), I dare Malaysian government to take active part and host the event.

What do you think?
