Life is flux, but one thing I keep returning to is the Word.
Follow me on Twitter.
Find me on Facebook.
Google me at http://x.alphalim.me/googlealpha
Or click randomly on the shiny things below.
A Malaysian woman, Essasa Sue, has become an accidental Facebook cult hit in Iceland after it was discovered her name was similar to a popular advertisement’s catchphrase.
This is what happens when you randomly coin a name!
Facebook's new "privacy policy" has opened up digital assets like this one to the public.
After all, don't we have the right to know how Mark Zuckerberg jams on his guitar?
My eyes.
Incidentally, I set most of my stuff to be available to "Everyone". Which now means "Everyone on the internet". Where before, "Everyone" meant "Everyone on Facebook."
Personally, I feel that this definition of "Everyone" is more accurate. Plus, I'm a bit of a narcissistic exhibitionist.
(But what blogger isn't?)

BLUE: Brand Websites
RED: Social Networks
What does this mean? Websites are media. In TV language, Facebook and Twitter are like huge networks with thousands of channels featuring hundreds of programmes tailor-made by people who share your interests.
Brand websites are like individual channels sponsored by one advertiser broadcasting a programme you may or may not like. (In other words, take it or leave it.)
On a social network, you create the content together with your like-minded social circle. You cook what you like to eat.
On a brand website, you eat what they serve. If you don't like it, you don't go there. If your tastes change, you leave.
No one would create a new TV channel just to broadcast a new TV commercial. Why create a new website?
That's an extreme example and brand websites have their place, but the (logical) trend is a shift toward social media. Because people always gravitate toward more freedom of choice, not less.

Here's how I posted once and notified you five times. ("You", being my Faithful Facebook Friends.)
I posted awhile back that you could post once to posterous.com, and it would autopost for you to basically, just about, everywhere. Well, the magic of automation is how I managed to send you five notices about my post on 6 reasons why I bought an iPhone 3G.Fun! Fun fun fun fun fun!
