Web Wednesday Singapore - 2008-02-20 - "Show me the eMoney!"

As I mentioned in my post last week, we had the inaugural Web Wednesday Singapore here last Wednesday. It was the first one, so the three “(dis)organizers” - Kevin Tan, Andy Tu and I - just wanted to get a small group together to get some feedback and determine the viability of this kind of event. So we sent out personal invites that included something like this: *****Hi Everybody, It has been a long time since we have had a gathering of like minded individuals for a night of drinks, catching up, and networking. The famous (or rather, infamous) Web Wednesday has now landed on our fair... Read more »

Consumers don’t trust travel agents

Here’s a story from TravelMole about why consumers do not trust Travel Agents: “Consumers doubt agents provide good value“ A few interesting numbers: 1) Only a quarter of holidaymakers believe travel agents offer good value for money 2) 42% “actively disagreed” that agents offer the best deal 3) 46% who arranged their own holiday themselves preferred the DIY route because they wanted to get the best deal or believed it was cheaper to arrange it themselves 4) Around one in five (22%) thought that agents in general do not give honest, trustworthy advice, and only 38%... Read more »

The ultimate interaction with the Brand

We had our first inaugural Web Wednesday Singapore gathering last night, and I had a short talk about “Show me the eMoney!”. It was a good evening with lots of drinks and good company. More on this in another post. But as usual when I have many drinks (but not enough to pass out), I tend to wake up very early and my mind races and I can’t get back to sleep. Like last night, I came home around 2 am and woke up at 5am and my mind wanders and works around ideas and thoughts. So this morning, it was about “Interaction with the Brands”. The internet is an “interactive”... Read more »

Netvibes new look and feel Ginger

As a matter of fact I was experimenting with Netvibes and its Ginger version already. Just before noting Travel.Alltop I had made a public page on Netvibes by the name of Happy Hotelier’s Travel Readings, which was inspired by the way Edu Williams had formed his public Turismo (En) page. Look for yourself if this is an alternative for your rss feed reader and give me your thoughts. Off to baking my own bread:-) This article was originally posted on Happy Hotelier.You can read and comment on the original article here.  Read More →

Hacked iPhone 1.1.3 upgrade

Since Apple upgraded its firmware from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 and then to 1.1.3 (last month), I have been resisting the temptation to do so on my own iPhone via hacks. Since January, the iPhone hacker community found ways to get iphones upgraded to 1.1.3, but this was really complicated and really risky and took lots of time. I figured I would wait. Well the wait was worth it. I upgraded my phone last week from 1.1.1 to 1.1.3 in about 10 minutes. The description is here, but you have to read it carefully. But essentially, 1) you need to have a Mac running on Leopard 2) download the 1.1.3 restore from... Read more »

Amsterdam , The Next Web Conference and Twitter

Again, I must have been under the rocks. This is existing and happening on my doorstep (or in my backyard): Yesterday and today The The 2008 Next Web Conference is being held in Amsterdam.
