Dapur Kami (Cafe Noris), Cyberjaya

This will be a short one as I’m kinda busy now but dudes, fellas, ladies, homies of Cyberjaya, your sweet YB is more than happy to tell you that we have a new Kelantanese restaurant in our friendly neighbourhood! Woot woot.

It’s located at Neo Cyber. The other end opposite Mak Teh

Opens ’til 7pm only thought at the moment.

What to have? Sambal udang, ayam goreng berempah and sambal ikan keli. I’ve had them and they’re DELICIOUS! The sambal udang is really really spicy though so if you can’t stand spicy food, be careful!

What to pass? Coconut shake. Don’t! It’s like drinking coconut milk/santan LOL epic fail coconut shake!

Alrighty, that’s it for now!

A REAL Facebook privacy issue: Email addresses NOT listed on Facebook are getting indexed by Google

I kinda feel this whole FB privacy issues that have been surfacing the Internet lately are well pretty ridiculous. But you know it’s been almost what, 4-5 years yes? So people are bound to get sick and tired of an app. It’s the norm of all social networking sites

Anyhoo, this is however a very serious privacy flaw and FB does deserve a ‘fuck ya!’ for this one

Read the full issue here: http://bit.ly/crGzuS

Or go to google.com and search for

site:facebook.com “Do you want to stop receiving Facebook emails” @gmail.com

Ouch, huh?

Damn!

Now, where’s Ilya from Diaspora? *kisskiss*

Disappointed with some people

It’s a dog eat dog industry, indeed and in fact, I’ve accepted that fact long before.

However some people can just be too obvious about not being supportive especially towards other fellow industry mates. No, come on, not everyone is your competitor. And don’t you believe in your own rezeki?

And later, when Indonesian startups or any other country make it to the media: first thing you do, is you blame the startups here.

Blame yourselves first, seriously. Put everything about the industry aside, and ask yourself: What have you done to contribute to the industry? Has it been all talk and charade to show you’re cool? Or did you teach people? Did you share your knowledge? Did you support every other industry mates & startups? Did you?

Tip 1: In order to sell your biz/products, you gotta sell yourself first.

It’s all about individuality, personality and attitude. You have none of that, your biz prolly ain’t going anywhere.

Tip 2: Be persistent. Don’t give up. And keep making stuffs you love

One day, you’ll be discovered. We have witnessed some underdog startups that has made it big, whether locally or overseas. They just keep doing the things they love. One day, they’re discovered and suddenly, from 10 followers, they have 100 followers who are suddenly twitting OH YOU MADE US PROUD! etc etc. No seriously, people can be so fake.

Why didn’t you say that before they got acquired?

Eh I’m done rambling for now. To this one particular person: stop sucking up lah. You were cool as an underdog and I fucking admire you and your work. Don’t be a fakey please? :(

I totally forgive you for using my word but to not supporting my app. Too obvious but forgiven coz I know you’re thirsty for popularity now tsk tsk..

ps: fuck I hate the word startups. rockstars. ninjas. business. whatever. haha!

Everyone on Twitter is cool, Everyone cool is on Twitter

So if you’re not on Twitter, you’re not cool.
And if you’re not cool, you’re not on Twitter

Seriously.

Social networking sites come and go, like really come and go. Friendster gets old. MySpace gets messy (although it is still one of the best platforms for musicians). Facebook? Well it’s almost the end of the road for them too, once something else comes up, everyone else will move along. Trust me. Social networking sites is something that’s always revolutionizing.

While Twitter is a whole lot different. It will stick around for longer longer times and very unlikely one could top it off as it’s one of the most innovative platforms on the net now. Talk about 3rd party apps,  incremental improvements on the app itself, talk about the business/personal/marketing strategies that you can do on Twitter, what about communication/friendship/ relationship/connection/opportunities, and that’s only 1/4 of what Twitter can give you

Twitter rocks. Period.

The power of Internet is all about conversations.

And that’s what Twitter provides you. Blogs, instant messengers, e-mail – they are all evergreen platforms that will always be part of our lives. And notice the similarities? It’s all about conversations

So, wanna start a conversation with me? Wait no further coz @iwani is the ID #pantun

JomTwit.com & Kureno.com have been launched!

Approximately at 8.02am (Malaysian time), JomTwit.com has been successfully launched to the world. JomTwit – Organizing Tweets is released under v1.0 Beta and its features will be incrementally updated from time to time. We are rolling out more interactive features throughout the next few weeks, so lets wait for that to happen.

Overall, we took about 2 weeks in total to plan the functionalities and architecture, design, developed and debugged the app. Some major issues that we faced was dealing with server speed and bandwith in order to crawl the new tweets and we are currently testing our current solution for that

So as you all can see, JomTwit might be at its earliest growth level, but be patient until the exciting features are rolled out

Visit JomTwit today and don’t forget to send us your Feedback! (click our nifty Feedback button on the right)

ireansAV: Re-defined YouTube

Long before the enforcement of copyright laws against online media took place, ireansMusic was one of the biggest social network sites in Malaysia next to popular sites such as Jiwang and Cari.

ireansMusic was not only unique in its concept and functionality but also for its intuitive and user friendly design and growing community that all cared and shared joys and sorrows with each other. Just like their tagline, Sharing is Caring

Soon after ireansMusic was shut down, their users started going different ways; some started new communities with fellow Ireans users, some went into blogging and some joined other communities

ireansAV was born in mid-May 2009 after months of thorough brainstorming and planning. The actual development phase only took awhile. The pre-production stage was much more important to ensure that ireansAV will have the same aura, the same vibe, the same effect just like ireansMusic. ireansMusic captured hearts all over the world and ireansAV would need to do the same as well

ireansAV is a site to share music videos from YouTube together with its lyrics. Think of it as an interactive lyrics database or online karaoke lounge. Some noticeable features that will be coming up soon are

Since its launched early today, May 15th 2009, 88 videos have been submitted and shared on the site, and we can predict there would be more to come in the next few weeks.

An email blast has been sent out to the existing user database of ireansMusic. It’s estimated that out of 100, 000 users, only 30, 000 would be back to ireansAV. Nevertheless, that’s already more than enough to kick off a fresh and new community!
