twitter killed the facebook star

Friday, June 10th, 2011

I remember an old song “video killed the radio star”. Thinking about it, we still have some popular radio shows with plenty of tuned listeners. It will depend on the life style of the listener e.g. those who drive and like to hear something on the road opposed to someone bored at home who might decide to switch on the tv and watch something.

When visually engaged I think people would opt for radio or music specifically. It is very interesting how fat media platforms are evolving nowadays and as soon as accessibility is sorted a lot of people are getting hooked.

My recent preference  for using twitter was just a matter of accessibility. I now have it on my phone and given the small screen size and the version i have I prefer it over facebook. Nevertheless, when I am facing my laptop i would only check my facebook and briefly browse around.

Moreover, having sat through an introductory NLP course am now thinking that it might be our preference in receiving information. Without having to go through all of the categories but for instance a person who is more visual than auditory will have one preference rather than the other.

Another factor of course is the people you want to connect with and the different media tools they are using and so you might choose to follow or see the face accordingly. Maintaing all equally is a challenge and at some point you choose what to stick to for your reasons and surely variety is the spice of life or virtual life :)

Friday wonderment :)

Style shake

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Picture 37I came across a website Style shake where you get to customize clothes designs. It was an interesting to see that in London. I liked the idea because I have been recently concerned about overproduction and waste that I thought websites like these could be part of the solution. So things can be made on demand rather than trying to sell pre-made clothes.

Just a thought :)

A nice website

Picture 50Picture 49I was trying to explain to my 5 year old son about the phases of the moon. So I came across this nice site and thought of sharing it. It shows the phases in a monthly calendar, which I think is very useful.

When one thing leads to another

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

This might not be the first thing to cross your mind after reading the title but it is very true of web surfing.  You could start by searching or looking up something and then few clicks later you enter a different world of thoughts and even perhaps stray completely away from the purpose of your original search.

As I mentioned in a earlier post, I do pay attention to the things I listen to even if it happens to be background music. I was looking for some music for a spa treatment then I remembered a gaming site with great relaxing music called orisinal. So I thought to pay a visit to this site in the hope that I would be able to find the link to the music. I could not find much and ended up playing the games mesmerized my the great artwork and amazing choice of music. Then I thought I will enter the game title or even that of the site on youtube in the hope that someone shared the same love for the music and maybe linked to the artist. Then aha I found the artist- Steve Cravis. And he even had a name of a song the same as the spa. Perfect I thought. I felt victory was near, then I was searching for ways to buy the music. Then somehow I landed on Lulu a self publishing site. You can never guess how many creative thoughts went through my mind. Let’s just say many :)
