Fantastic stuff. Can't wait to get my hands on this app.
buUuk is an iPhone restaurant finder for Asia, Australasia and the Middle East. Here's a sneek preview of some Augmented Reality features in the next version.
About 38 minutes since I live in Singapore. It's good to know that Singapore's wages is just above the global average, but still a long way off the folks in Chicago who get a Big Mac every 12 minutes.
Awesome ad campaign from Thailand. Watch how all the segments play out into a full-length story with brutally cheesy product placements. It's so entertaining yet so effective in carrying across the message.

Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab. It uses sophisticated natural language processing and the Internet to create a data portrait of one's aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.
The search for sentiment among all the chatter online is like digging for gold. This image from the New York Times illustrates exactly what we're doing at JamiQ.
I was inspired by the use of Twitter by news agencies such as CNN, BBC, and even our local ChannelNews Asia and wanted to take this innovative usage to the next level by adding multiple sources of Singapore news in a single Twitter stream.
Since there wasn’t a consolidated Twitter stream of Singapore news, I decided to create http://twitter.com/sgnews with the help of TwitterFeed and a collection of the best RSS-able Singapore news sources.
How it works:
I created SGnews as a personal tool to get the news I wanted, but if you like it and find it helpful too, feel free to Follow SGnews on Twitter. Also, if you believe there are other good feeds to add, do let me know in the comments.
Have fun and tell your friends!
(This is a repost of my original, but since I've moved blog, I thought I'd recreate it here so users of SGnews can have an understanding of this project)
This guys perspective is interesting. He says we're so focused on the medium, the technology, and not the message. He goes as far as to say we're using this super amazing and high-tech medium for crap and we're more concerned about the fact that the Iran elections were tracked on Twitter than about the elections itself.
I tend to agree. We're forgetting the message, we're more concerned about the medium and all its fancy technology and buzz words.
