Thanks for this post, Louis! I've been looking for something that records a little better than the in-built voice recorder for the iPhone, just downloaded the app and I'm looking forward to experimenting with it this week!

Re: A Lack of Social Media in Higher Education?

Daryl Tay — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 03:37:54 -0000

Great post Pamela. I have to agree. I'm only just taking a Social Media course in school and from a corporate communications point of view, it's taught me more relevant things that I need to know heading out to work than most other courses have.

Re: 2nd Look: FriendFeed & RSSMeme

Daryl Tay — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 01:25:41 -0000

I got on FriendFeed after AssetBar and LinkRiver and I'm going to have to agree with you that for now, it's probably the best aggregator out there. The social parts are great, it centralises so many feeds, and can be posted to Facebook, which are wins all round.

Steven, thanks for the pick up. Would love to hear your views when you have more time!

Re: Are bloggers just a one size fits all to journalists?

Daryl Tay — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 12:28:22 -0000

Thanks for the mention and the kind words, Steven. You know another reason why I think we're one-size-fits-all that I didn't blog about, was because the journalist asked at the end if I have any "blogger friends who may want to talk to the press". I don't think she would've cared if my "blogger friend" blogged about how much detergent she uses in the wash. And to make it worse, the article was about a fairly serious issue (internet regulation), and that's not something the majority of us are into.

Re: GReader Shared Links - the new territory of self-promotion

Daryl Tay — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 11:32:26 -0000

Hey Steven, I must admit I never thought of this issue. I do share my own feeds on Google Reader, primarily because it causes it to be shared on Feedheads on Facebook. But yes, I do see how that can annoy people on FriendFeed for example. Interesting thoughts, not sure if I'll stop sharing entirely, but don't unsubscribe to me ;)

Re: The danger of Social Media falling in on itself

Daryl Tay — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:50:16 -0000

I do like FriendFeed and it has its uses. But at least here in Singapore where not many people are on it, I find that the local aggregator (ping.sg) or just GReader and Twitter work well for now. That's the main reason why I don't use it as much as many others do, although I know it's useful. Network effects!

Re: Twitter: IRC with a new shade of lipstick

Daryl Tay — Tue, 06 May 2008 09:57:59 -0000

Hi Steven,

I don't usually post my own links in comments, but just thought I'd let you know I had the same thoughts that Twitter's strength is that it's like IRC (http://uniquefrequency.wordpress.com/2008/03/26...) and a second post saying just because that's it's strength, doesn't mean it should be used exactly like IRC (http://uniquefrequency.wordpress.com/2008/04/16...). let me know what you think!

I think Corvida has it mostly right, not I don't agree with all the points. I just got a room today!

Re: I may have been a little too harsh

Daryl Tay — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 20:12:50 -0000

Maybe you were harsh, Steven, but I think it needed to be said. While certainly it would be unfair to say that everyone who uses anonymous handles signals an idiot behind the keyboard, I also feel that sometimes, people use anonymity simply because they know if they used their real names, people would know their real, slimy selves and would not take a word they said seriously because they have no credibility.

Daryl Tay — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 12:27:13 -0000

I'm going to vote for FriendFeed and del.icio.us

Friendfeed because it allows people in the same class to keep abreast of what everyone (including the professors) are reading in related topics, and del.icio.us because it'll be a good place to store references that may be useful for the course permanently.

Re: What I want Social Media Breakfast: Singapore to be | Sui Generis

Daryl Tay — Sun, 25 May 2008 21:05:01 -0000

But if it's just to be "social", what's the compelling reason to come for this? For eg if the Ping.sg community has an outing on friday night (which is "social"), and our brekkie is on sat morning, there has to be a differentiating factor other than "oh we can see the same ppl again".

Re: What College Students Can’t Get From Blogging

Daryl Tay — Thu, 22 May 2008 21:53:28 -0000

Hey Corvida, I'm going to disagree with jobs and long-term gratification. You and I both managed to get an internship via blogging (not actually a job, but work with me here). Do students not get blogs because they're blogging nonsense, not blogging at all, or is it truly not a viable option for employment? I just read and blogged about someone in the UK who got hired on Twitter! it's a crazy world of opportunities right now!

I don't know how long-term you're referring to, but my "proper" blog has only been up for about 5 months and I'm feeling very gratified. True my subscriber count is in the double digits, but I know there's a small community forming that's very supportive and encouraging, and that's all the gratification I need!

Re: Would You Prefer Your Articles To Be Dugg or Shared?

Daryl Tay — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:18:20 -0000

Shared for me too. I don't know many people who use Digg, and here in Asia where community is emphasised (i don't mean online community, but traditional community), it works better when things are shared.

Re: Where Google Chrome Failed To Succeed: The Integration Of Google Services

Daryl Tay — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:51:55 -0000

I'm going to agree with you! I thought it would at least have the Google Toolbar integrated, but I guess not. But yes, it's just launched, it's not going to be 100%, definitely worth keeping an eye on!

I meant to follow this today, but got caught up in an event. Definitely trying it tomorrow. I like the way FriendFeed fits in (a service I'm not using a lot now), so it'll be interesting to see if this helps ease it into my day a little more.

Re: louisgray.com: Should Bloggers Open Up Their Statistics?

Daryl Tay — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:15:40 -0000

I see your point about traffic hitwise, but to me it's about the RSS subscribers. Because they're the ones who obviously see value, and will keep coming back. Also, I guess whichever metric is used is not as important as the trend it's going, which is, hopefully up (as I'm sure yours is!)

Re: louisgray.com: Continuous Parallel Attention: My New Reality

Daryl Tay — Thu, 22 May 2008 22:23:51 -0000

I definitely exist in this state for most of the day. Sitting in the bus thinking of what to blog, blogging and watching soccer, listening to a podcast and organising pictures on Flickr. It never ends! However I do admit that when I do need to put 100% attention into something, I have to cut the other things that need attention, or I only absorb/put in 80%.

Re: Social media experts - it’s all relative.

Hi Colin, I'm not sure there are really "experts" but there are definitely people who know more than others. But it's hard to say they're experts in the way they could be a computer fixing expert because things are changing so quickly and across so many platforms that it's truly hard to keep up sometimes!

I have to agree with Felix as well. There're a lot of people saying they won't use Chrome, but it IS in beta which isn't MEANT to be "ready". I've downloaded it, found that there's stuff I still need from Firefox that I can't live without yet, but that doesn't mean I've uninstalled Chrome or announced "I'll never use it!". I'll just check by in a couple of months or when someone blogs about it!

Re: Whose stuff is it anyway?

Daryl Tay — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:21:23 -0000

The issue you mentioned about duplicates on FriendFeed is exactly what I'm not liking about the service. It may be different in other parts of the world, but at least for me, most of the stuff gets shared via Twitter, Plurk or Google Shared Items anyway, that yet another shared item on FriendFeed is just needless and unncessary.

Re: 10 Ways I Use Evernote

Daryl Tay — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 11:40:57 -0000

Really enjoyed this post! I wrote a post "How Evernote changed my life" some time back, and as a student, your way of using Evernote really makes sense!

The "tickler" concept has really made life so much easier. The difference is I keep it all in one note and manually write in the days just so that I don't create too many notes and make it a little unwieldy, but I suppose as long as it does what it's supposed to do, who cares!

Re: The 10 Commandments of PowerPoint

Daryl Tay — Tue, 12 May 2009 02:28:34 -0000

David,

Another great post. I have to say the 2.0 life is fast becoming one of my "must read" blogs on my Google Reader!

I have a slight tweak to bullet points. I think they're sometimes necessary when you really need to convey a list. Say "demographics of users (teens, 50% male, 90% own phones)" or some sort of list. There's no need to really draw a pie chart or something to demonstrate that 50% are male because just listing it up there and moving on is really the point.

What do you think?

So true. I know what you mean about preferring a smaller community. I don't think mine is as huge as yours, but the first 3-4 months when it was really small, I loved emailing people who commented and asking them how they came across my blog and what they liked or what they didn't. Now it's a scramble just to reply to all the comments!

One way is to just keep going back, but that's ancient technology.

The next is to get updates via emails, but it's annoying to get follow-ups on a post more than a couple of weeks old because I've moved on by then.

Of course the final is the RSS feed for the comments section, which has similar issues to subscribing via email.

Perhaps a platform similar to FriendFeed or LinkRiver for comments, or mashed together with comments might help, but I'm not sure that would 100% solve the issue.

Chris,

Been subscribed for almost 2 months now and definitely in my A-List on Google Reader.

I blog at http://uniquefrequency.wordpress.com and it's focused on new/social media but there's some traditional media stuff in there too. It does have a little of a Singaporean perspective, so it may be useful for people who want to know what's going on in this portion of the world.

Awesome. I was part of a panel discussion last week and gave them the Delta example of Twitter from Join The Conversation, this is yet another great case study!

Regardless of who initiated the service, I definitely agree that it's a sign, if not of desperation then of something close. At least here in Singapore, there's certainly been a decline in activity over the last 3-6 months.

I think Twitter can be used by 6th graders for sure, but more importantly, college students need to learn how this can be useful! I read the examples about ways it can help and think "damn, why doesn't any one use it that way in class?"

I hope this catches on in 2008

I have to agree with Marios. Google should have just kept their mouth shut. I honestly don't think they much (if anything) to worry about from Microhoo. Even if it does go through, the months they'll take to sort out all the paperwork is more than enough for Google to pull out a project or two and gain even more market share of the web.

Congrats! 1,000 is a great number! I'm sure it will go nowhere but up. Listed you guys as podcast of the month for Feb too! (Thanks for the comment, John) Must-listen every episode.
