My friends in Singapore were mucking around with a similar concept for their university project. Theirs works from a physical table POV. But I can see your software working well with their system. http://bitbot.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/recipeas...

Re: A private note to PR people

I used to work in PR and I agree with Robert. Journalists want to cover good stories and it is the PR consultant's job to help the journalist. If the client pushes you for a story you know is going to be bad, that's when the PR consultant has to consult. Trying to push for a story that doesn't fit or just trying your luck is nothing short of lazy. Why would a client pay you if you can't advise them? BTW, PR today is so much easier, although the newspapers are dying, there's a whole lot more "media" online. Be creative, try other bloggers.

I can't believe it! Another Symbian/Windows Mobile app. They just cut a huge population of mobile phone users off by not creating a J2ME app. After the success of Gmail, Yahoo Go!, PfingoACTIVE... why make another smart/PDA phone app? Especially when we're talking about IM here. Reach the masses? no?

Why do you need both a NAS and a Ext HDD? Shouldn't all backup go on the NAS?

I didn't realise that Malaysia didn't have an online store before this. But then again, I've never bought anything from the Singapore one. I've always walked into a physical store to get my Mac stuff.

I believe this is a correct move for PR agencies today. The web is all about creating your own content and making it count. Why just keep to press releases for the journalists when you can create content that go direct to customers. If I was a marketeer on a budget, I might want to try for a million views on YouTube vs a national news pitch. Of course it depends on which is the best means to reach your target audience. Good to know we now have the choice.
