Facebook has become a big part of my life in 2011. I know for a fact that it will continue to be so no matter how I resolve to lessen my time in it. It just offers so much more than the usual email message, chat, text messages and calls. There’s so much interaction in [...]

In the past the advice that elders would give us is “Think before you speak.” so that only good words will come out of our mouths. It is an advice especially directed to those who are tactless. These days, the sage advice is changed to: “Google before you tweet.” We all know how almost everyone [...]

My friends have been sending me invites to join Google+ and I am just letting it sit in my inbox. I had two invites back when it wasn’t public yet and now I’ve got numerous invites now that everyone can already sign up. You know, when Plurk was still “in” friends have been luring me [...]

I have been trying my darn best to limit my time in Facebook and Twitter. I was able to go on a very brief hiatus on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. I lasted only three weeks and I was back, more addicted to it if that’s possible. I just couldn’t stay away from my [...]

There is something terribly addicting about Twitter. The quick updates. The celebrities and well-known personalities from around the world that you can follow. The way you can send someone a message either through DM (direct message) or through mentioning the person’s Twitter name. And following interesting conversations. I’ve been tweeting for quite some time now. [...]

Twitter is a great way for me to update myself on what’s happening around the world. I get updates from local news sites like ABS-CBN Breaking News and I also get international news updates from CNN Breaking News. I just felt so out of touch with the world during typhoon Basyang because there’s no electricity [...]

Have you seen this Facebook ad? I was surprised to see this. Imagine advertising about the family tree and then showing a photo of a couple kissing. Why? What is the connection between the advertisement and the photo??? Some people are so irresponsible! They know all along that there are impressionable kids already using Facebook. [...]
