If you haven’t heard yet, Google recently generated a lot of buzz by purchasing a Superbowl ad slot for a cool US$5mil. It features “Parisian Love“, a long-distance love story told through keywords.
Some speculate that it’s feeling intimidated by Microsoft’s rival search engine, Bing. Google had never booked an ad on TV before; CEO Eric [...]
Just got reminded from xkcd.com that Geocities shuts down today.
Its site redesign to commemorate the occasion is both hilarious and sad. From the gaudy backgrounds we all used back then, to the cheesy marquees and the everpresent “under construction” tags, it brought back memories. I had a Geocities site once too, I just can’t remember [...]
I recently bought a 37″ Sony TV for my home so it was time to delve into the world of HD. But playing stuff on it was becoming a hassle – my house literally has hundreds of DVD-Rs lying around already, and a 720p movie usually takes a whole DVD by itself, and there’s no [...]

Ok, ok I’m a little late to the party. But for those of you unfamiliar with the concept, think Friendster except instead of sharing friends you share inane bookmarks.
Useful for me because I’ve been piling up a lot of bookmarks and need a place to organize them. Trying to decide between Del.icio.us and BlinkList atm.
