Today, I had to drag myself out of my bed (on a cold, rainy morning) to attend the PodCamp 2008 in Singapore, organised by the Singapore Management Universities (SMU). It is rare to have weekends to sleep in since I am either busy with events/ work or travel, I did have second thoughts about attending.
However, [...]

Resume 2.0 – Who are you online?
Ok. Yes. I have been neglecting my blog. Being BUSY is totally understated lately.
Brendan’s recent post shows this blog declining in activities, (currently at spot 39, declining at -20… ) but an increase in “sociability” This just means, I still “socialised” online somewhere, just that I did not update my blog!
Two weeks ago, I [...]

No Flaming. Just Good Old Intelligent Posts
Recently, the local blogosphere is acting up and started some entertaining “flames”.
Wikipedia: Flaming is the hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users.
I was “entertained” for a very short while and decided that, time will be better spent reading some good old intelligent posts. Going through my hundreds of RSS feeds had been something I did [...]

The Social Media Strategists – Do we need them?
Last week, I replied to a list of questions that Kevin posted on the topic of “would you hire a social media strategist?” . It’s an interesting question, – one that many of us in marketing, communications, PR, new media field are questioning.
I’ve given my replies to Kevin and looking forward to his next post [...]

PR and Social Media in Asia
I stumbled upon this wiki on social media when I was doing random surfing this morning about PR in Asia. It is really quite interesting and I believed it is put together by some university students.
I’ve been invited to a couple of social media events/ gatherings and the discussion topics have always been focused on which tools/ networks/ [...]

Are we really influencing our audiences?
My stack of new books from Amazon.com had arrived! I am now flipping through Seth Godin’s Meatball Sundae and Brian Solis & Geoff Livingston’s Now is Gone.
Both have some really interesting points about new media and new media marketing. Since I have not finished reading them, I shall reserve any comments for now. Both are definitely worth reading!Recently, [...]

Flickring away
I was given free upgrade to Flickr pro account two weeks ago (one of the great perks of being staff). I am in the process of (still) downloading the images from the Vegas/ SF trip. Work has taken up quite a bit of time but no, I am not giving up this blog (yet).
I noticed [...]

PR’s nightmare
Brian and I had an interesting discussion over IM last Friday about whether or not all PR campaigns/ products launches should incorporate some form of social / new media.
We think, perhaps not.
Don’t misunderstand my point, I totally love the new media / the Internet and this blog is set up with the aim to [...]

Look! No ads on the blog!
Recently, someone asked me if I would like to put up some ads on this blog and earn some money. I said no. The person asked “why not?” For a few seconds, I was not sure how to reply. I went with a “well, I like my blog’s cleanliness as it is now and [...]

Holiday with Bezurk!
I met Ross Veitch, Chief Product Officer and one of the co-founders of Bezurk at the PopOut 07 event in Singapore some weeks ago. Ross was one of the presenters that evening. I was really unwell that day and (sorry Ross), wasn’t paying attention to most part of the presentation. I vaguely remembered it being [...]

A decent event @ Popout! 2007
Being a professional PR person who spent a lot of my time organising big events, I must say the folks at The DigitalMovement (TDM) put together a decent event last Thursday evening. The success of an event often lies in the quality of its speakers and the audiences. The other element is what i called [...]

Blogger pitches: How and who?
In the last few weeks, I noticed a common topic popping up on my RSS aggregator. A few bloggers have been discussing views on “how to pitch to bloggers?”
Aaron has asked me to do an “interview” for the video show he has been putting together titled “Princessa and the little lamb” on the topic of [...]

What I am reading and listening to
Sometimes, I marvel at how people connect via various social networks. As of now, I have signed myself up for various services, tried various beta products and stayed on a few great ones. Thanks to Melvin Yuan who first introduced me to Twitter, I am quite addicted to it now.
Facebook, as everyone knows is totally [...]
