What I love about Social Media

Social Media don't even exist much if we mentioned it like 10 years ago but it's a trend and one of the hottest topic everywhere today! Many people have ask me this question, what do you like about social media? For me, it's about getting the latest topic and shared it with my family and friends via social media  tools such as twitter or facebook. Besides that, I get to expand my circle of friends. Up to date, I have 463 friends on Facebook (only less than 10% of people I haven't met in real life) and 460 followers on Twitter. 

Even if it is a new thing for most of you, Social Media has been a daily thing for me. I enjoyed tweeting and facebooking on daily basis such as updating my status and sharing the pictures I took. Besides that, I even enjoy Foursquaring. It's like a game where I get to collect my points and badges and also explore new shops in town! Other than that, you get good tips from other players too and specials from the business owner. 

Despite all that, I have won iPod Shuffle via twitter contest, a designer handbag for a friend via Facebook contest and also an iPhone app - paid version for FREE via twitter too. It's been a really fun time for me both on twitter and facebook. :D 

From all the above, I also use Social Media to conduct charity in March, 2010, which is known as Penang Twestival. At present, I am also volunteering for Social Media Club Penang. It's a non-profit organization to help to educate the public about social media and how it can help you in your personal life and businesses in general. 

What do you like about Social Media? Would love to hear your thoughts about it... :)

Let's tweet! 

Tweetup with Jonathanfun

Yesterday was the Saturday that was booked in my calendar for a few weeks. It's a tweetup for Jonathanfun from Malacca who is currently working in Kluang. He was here over the weekend for some photography event. At the same time, he asked me to assist him with a tweetup with Penang Twitters! :-)

Before heading to Gurney, I picked Tammy up for dinner and since she is on vegetarian yesterday... We had dinner at Sri Ananda Bahwan. My first time there and I enjoyed my dinner.

The tweetup was suppose to be at 8pm Gurney Plaza and I had a few confirmation of attendance from Tammy Khoo, Jason Gan, Shoggy Teoh and family, Tjun Chye, Christines Teoh and Louis Quah. However, last min Louis could not make it was he was sick but we had CJ Tan and Jaine with us.

The entire night was an amazing tweet up! Besides that, the guys playing with their iPads and exchanging applications. Also not forgetting the candid shots too! :P












With that they came out with face impersonation using iPad applications and magazine too! Here are some of the pictures....

There and then a facebook page was created! Check it out at #whoisbehindthis

Snap a picture using this concept and post more in facebook!

The time went by so fast and we left Gurney nearly close to 1am. The guys decided to have K session at OXO Cafelab. We headed there to have someone good times and all of them can sing! Melts my heart away......

Blogging via iPhone

iPad App: Flipboard

I got hold of one iPad and been playing with it since then. It is similar to iPhone features but on a bigger screen and faster response time. I am blogging from my iPad to get the feel of it.

Flipboard is current a free application on iTunes and it does amazing things. You can link your Facebook and Twitter account to it. The presentation of it is simply amazing. It turns the twitter and facebook posting into a magazine layout. I love the whole new idea on this. I did a few print screen to show you. For those foe you who have iPad, download it now and I bet you will enjoy it we much we I do. It's good for people like me who loves social media and magazine layout. It's creative I must say.
