Just Do it vs. Just Du-it (Duit = Money)

This is an interesting take from an UMNO man Sakmongkol AK47 .  I personally view Dato Mohd Ariff Sabri is one the few UMNO man who makes a lot of sense in what he writes in his blog, perhaps one of the few no-nonsense gentlemen.

Now, the brand story of UMNO after the Hulu Selangor so called 'buy-election' have certainly implanted the new proposition into the minds of most Malaysian. "Just Du-it" has in fact sealed the perception that UMNO is all about money, forget about the welfare of the people who deserves help irrespective of race, religion and creed.

I believe this  brand proposition will spell the end of the RAHMAN prophecy in the history of Malaysia.

Only Wire - Bookmark & Share

Not a tech savvy person, I came across Only Wire which is an automated content & bookmark distribution tool and after following the simple instructions, I have the bookmark & share tool added to this blog.

What's so cool is that it is free and I have it on the top of my add gadgets column.

Hanging on by muscle power, behind the outdoor media scene

The outdoor media in Indonesia is very robust and in almost every street and corner you take, one will be bombarded with hoardings in many different types, shapes and forms.

Behind it all, are the big boys in outdoor advertising, some are very professionally managed while some are very much left to be desired. Obviously, there are no data available on how much the outdoor business is worth in Indonesia. But, judging by the number of outdoor sites, it is definitely a HUGE business and the billings could probably ring to the tune of trillions in rupiah.

While driving along one of the main roads in Jakarta today, I can't help but notice the daredevils behind the scene captured by my Blackberry. No safety harness and total lack of safety protocol.

Way forward - Social Media

This is a very interesting research article by Nielsen and it is in the hope that all brand owners take note and to start embracing the new media. Most times, I've encountered much reluctance on their part and concluded that it is the lack of understanding of the social media scene.

Understanding the Value of a Social Media Impression

I Wish

I wish I knew

Why there are so many

Unsolved mysteries

In this world.

I wish I understood

The meaning of science,

The kind spirit of friends,

Or something among there.

I wish to know

What life is all about

Or maybe even

The mysteries that is us.

So may wishes that I have,

Yet none came true.

Oh, how I wish to know

The fact that I’m not alone.

What have I been doing?

IT and the social media scene is moving so fast and it is a tough act to catch up, well at least for me :P.

Of late, I have been surfing the net trying to find answers to whatever questions that crosses my mind. In doing so, I have to admit that there is a certain lack of understanding on my part in some of the language and terms used, and that was a major setback. So, on I go forward and backwards looking for answers via google, wikis and the likes. And this takes up a lot of time!

While doing so, I find myself distracted to follow up on the news back home in Malaysia especially the political sites and blogs. The more I read, the more I get distracted by the 'sorry state of affairs' and the politics behind it all. In some instances, whenever I came across any good and credible articles, I will just link it to my Facebook page. This gives me a sense of "doing something", rightfully or otherwise to share an honest opinion.  I wonder how the country will be like for my children and their children, boy, that is a scary thought.

Oh work? Of course is business as usual. In fact, just signed on a new client on April 01. This is it for now.... and I hope that I can update my blog more frequently.....:)
