Imagine doing this with your 55 inch TV.... You probably can get a gigantic projection!

Have been hearing about Asana for quite a while from my team. It is only until recently that I tried the new version that I found it useful. I think the previous version wasn't suitable for my need.

This post will be useful for me to work out the goals with my team on getting our projects completed! :)

Do you think conversion will work out well for all kinds of B2C products?

I have been using this for years. It is evolved in such a way that it also contains my goals for me to see everyday and even add new links to see in future by using WordPress Android app to share and post. That's why I used WordPress platform for this simple task. :)

Nice article

Re: Making SMTP fast | Mandrill Email Platform Blog

Charles Lau — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 03:01:04 -0000

SMTP is indeed a chatty protocol... I've almost forgotten about that multiple command lines, and wondered why SMTP sending can be so slow when we send to multiple emails. As I read further in this blog post, I almost thought you will re-engineer the SMTP protocol to cut off the need for multiple command lines.. :)

Re: Is Remarketing Self-Defeating?

Charles Lau — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 07:55:44 -0000

I think it depends whether the objective is brand awareness or lead generation. Remarketing will have a better effect of brand recall as the person sees again. If it is lead generation, it will be better to focus on retargeting.

Re: Using Scrivener and Evernote to Write Your Book

Charles Lau — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 21:07:17 -0000

Both evernote and scrivener are great software. But they don't sync. However, if you use Dropbox to replace evernote, the syncing may be possible but will have to find a suitable text editor on different platforms respectively.

Re: Samsung Music Hub shutdown on July 1 | BGR

Charles Lau — Fri, 23 May 2014 06:45:16 -0000

Is this because of the pressure from Google? Or because of the sustainability issue? It's not very clear. Luckily, I have not put too much attention to any of the Samsung apps on my S3 phone.

I got to know your presence and your strong association with Ford through social media. You don't know me at all. But I can see that you have been a very strong online influencer to many of us as digital marketers in our respective companies. Now that you are moving on, I look forward to hear your announcement and I wish you all the best!

Re: Facebook Ad Prices Seen Rising Amid Organic Reach Squeeze

Charles Lau — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 12:48:30 -0000

I wonder if this has to do with information overflow. I used to see tremendous engagement from my Facebook Pages back in 2011. Now it is barely even 10% of my fans are seeing my postings. Maybe there's a better way than an overflowing news feed.

Thanks for the article! But your Google link is not pointing correctly. :)

Re: A Brand New SitePoint

This is probably the best responsive site I have seen. The menu is responsive to the screensize, and the banners are hidden when the screensize gets smaller.

Re: 5 Costly Mistakes Selecting & Implementing a Web Content Management System

It is really depending on the actual end users of the content management system software that make or break the full usage of it.

And yes, I am going to break the ice and do my face-to-face communication with the speakers and delegates later in the morning at a Mobile Show Asia conference. (It's 1.46am right now.)

P/S: Go and google "mobile show asia" and you will know what I am attending right now.

Re: The Quickest Way to a Better Career

Charles Lau — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:09:54 -0000

I feel the same as you. How I wish I could just stay at home, and do my blogging, my marketing and my web development. But meeting face-to-face is the key that I see advancement in my career... It's like I have lost my touch of face-to-face communication to the technology communication... I can be really active and open on twitter, but meeting face-to-face I got tongue-tied... I have to do this regularly just like exercising!

Re: My J Babies: My Baby Is 2190 Days Old Today!

Just a few weeks ago, my wife just gave birth too and I enjoyed the moment with baby... When I look through the window at all other babies, I was so shocked that they all look almost the same!

Re: For Consumers, Android Is More “Clopen” Than Open

Charles Lau — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 12:32:59 -0000

At this stage, Android could almost have nowhere to go but to move forward as what it is today.

The direction of Android seems to be working towards making every device different. And while they are all different, we can still have the option to make common apps (if those devices allow)...

The only way is to root it and install the original interface with ice cream update... If not, it is still in the manufacturer's direction...

The caucasian lady is obviously just a web agency... There seems nothing interesting to invest in her actually. The person who won is actually from a children program thingy.. and it's not really web. I thought the promising one is with the gym on the web...

Yup, I had this struggling thought of having web and/or mobile app for several months... Oh it's just two days later... Have fun! :) I have something on that day... :(

Re: Rethink road widening affecting cemetery

I agree to have the first two pointers. In fact, if everybody is moving at about the same speed, it should make the jam move a little better.

But I think it might get complicated to have speed limit by different lanes.. Maybe this one can be taken out because the traffic rules have already dictated that we should overtake by the right lanes already.

That is too high to aim... But nevertheless, it is still possible for him at his level. Just don't compromise by being off-focused...
