It’s obvious that with the phenomenal rise of Facebook, I’m blogging so much less now. And so are other blog owners. I update my FB page several times a day, and it’s just so easy to post links, photos and videos on it, versus doing it on a blog. However, as I thought over this, I decided that there’s nothing [....] Continue reading Integrating Facebook and blogging
I had an interesting online conversation with a journo today who’s thinking of finding a new job but believes he is “mono-skilled”. That causes him to believe that it’s hard for him to write his CV, or find interested recruiters. Thankfully, that’s not true at all, even as many journos continue to subscribe to that belief. Those who don’t, have [....] Continue reading On being mono-skilled Sometimes, print media doesn’t show a good comparison of intellectual debates when it occurs on different days. Most people who don’t read newspapers regularly would not have bothered about these two letters that appeared last Wed and today in the Straits Times, regarding the spike in COE (Certificate of Entitlement for vehicles) that saw the paper slips soaring to S$36,089 [....] Continue reading COE woes – just admit the policy was flawed I feel like Abe Simpson sometimes….what did I just say? I’m quite relieved that Google Buzz tanked upon its launch. Not because I don’t like their products, but because I’m really tired of this whole new social media paradigm that is making people communicate in rather unhealthy ways. We don’t need another social media platform and another massive time-suck, [....] Continue reading The Age of Too Much Info Yesterday, I heard a most silly pitch for money. This guy from Company X was asking me if my team would be interested to sign up for a 3-day social media event in March. He didn’t explain very clearly what it was, but I figured it was a workshop where marketing professionals can sit around and share best practices on [....] Continue reading Do not pay to learn about social media! How shocking, our birth rate just dipped slightly! You can blame the recession or people having to work harder (are you serious?), but as I’ve been insisting for the past few years, it’s because the Gahmen’s attempts at improving the birth rates are pressing the wrong buttons Read the ST story first and my bits after: Birth rate may dip [....] Continue reading Are they really fixing the birth rate problem? How did you feel when you first saw this image from the Haiti earthquake? Picture from AFP. Singaporeans have been grumbling online about the $50,000 that the Singapore government contributed to the Haiti relief efforts. I first found out about the grumbling from Mr Brown’s site. What surprised me was that the Straits Times’ Political Desk actually put forth a commentary [....] Continue reading What price pragmatism? I was saddened when I first read news about the massive earthquake in Haiti, and got really upset when I read this story on CNN: (CNN) — Pat Robertson, the evangelical Christian who once suggested God was punishing Americans with Hurricane Katrina, says a "pact to the devil" brought on the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Officials fear more than 100,000 people have [....] Continue reading Pat Robertson needs to keep quiet |
