DISQUS

Beautiful photos. What a great idea to do a photowalk (dive ;)) on a birthday. (Belated happy birthday)

That was indeed a magnificent sunset! I remembered taking a quick shot of it and posted t on twitter, then realized a lot of people are posting photos of that sunset from facebook to flickr to twitter.

These shots you did are awesome! You are a very talented photographer.

BTW, thanks for the modeling tips. My photos will never look the same ;)

Coming from a just a "wannabe geek" but not quite a geek I'd say the reason I don't use FF yet is "the UI still is too geeky and sparse and not controllable enough.". I have a blog, I am active at Twitter but I still am not geeky enough to figure out how cool and easy it is to use FF. Maybe if you can find a way to make it easier for us the non geekies or just wannabe geekies then it would rise up and not be flat.

could it be that people are curious and are still checking it out therefore the surge? At any rate, I love Bing for bringing my blog A Maui Blog first on the search engine when you search the word Maui Blog :) .. I know, self promo here - sorry ;)

I guess we'll have to watch this BING closely and see what happens in the next months. Thanks for this report.

Now that "mob thing" wold really be an interesting discussion! Wish I can be there to listen.

Good points you mentioned. For me however, that hiding works because many of my followers probably don't want to see ALL my twitterings. I tweet a lot and it maybe too much for others if they see all my replies to people they don't know or care about. It really depends on how we use Twitter and why we use it. I like the way you found a solution for you (the dot before the @).

That video is a powerful illustration of what you're talking about here.

Hmmm ... I do not see a post ... oh, there it is "this is a test". I hope this pass :)

Thank you for the alert notice. Aloha!

good info - thanks - I'm gonna watch and see (actually I am going to participate, not just watch :)

For Maui, the Kamaole Beaches on South Kihei are the best for families with kids :)

I met Bruce via Twitter and he's one of the nicest guy on Twitter - exudes the aloha spirit on the net. He and his wife Yaling makes visiting Twitter a pleasure - they are always encouraging and fun :) I am glad they are a part of this So Much More Hawaii

I am glad you posted about the graduation tradition on Hawaii here in your blog. I had been wanting to write a post on it but didn't get a chance.

One of my favorite part of the tradition is the exhange of leis and the graduates' head gets buried in the lei :) - just like in the photo here :)

Oh I would want to encounter them someday ...

Maui! Maui! :) :) :)

Actually, the only island I've been aside from Maui is Oahu so my choice is between the two. I grew up in a big city, but now that I am living in a more rural island, I love it.

One tourist I met said Maui is the in-between of Oahu and Kauai, and so if there's only one island you can go to on Hawaii, go to Maui (of course I am partial ;)

I would love to visit all of the islands someday. How about a "so much more of Hawaii" part 2 wherein HTA will use local Hawaii Bloggers - bring us to different islands - just a thought ;)

OK, I am back.

Typical weekend, Saturday morning extra curricular activities (dance class, taekwondo, etc) or chores (laundry, yardwork and gardening etc.) - Then afternoon is relaxation - beach, or hang out at home in the pool. Sometime b-day parties of friends, etc.

Sunday, church in the morning and then beach, pool, frineds' house or bookstore :)

HHmmmm, I just recenty learned the term "STAYCATION" for us here living on Maui and can't afford to go anywhere else. Now I learned WORKATION from you. I can do that too :)

I've always wanted ti visit Kauai - any business in Kauai who would fly me to do a workation there??? will blog for workation too :)

Have a wonderful time :)

Funny you asked.... the month of May had been crazy, weekends are not the usual weekend we have throughout the year! So.... I will get back to comment futher. I just want to mention that the last 3 weekends we had in May were vey busy - lots of fun activities like going to a fair, spring recital show etc.... now for the more regular weekends, I'd ba back for that :)

SUN SCREEN, sun screen and SUN SCREEN - especially at this time of the year. My kids got sunburned the other day. we spent the whole day at the beach on Memorial Day. I tell yah, it won't be fun to get sun burned on your vacation so - get sunblock, shades for your eyes, hats, sun screen for your lips and if possible get those rush guards too (we sometimes call them sunshirts)

You beat me into this post! I was just thinking about posting about Shave Ice, Guri Guri Ice Cream and Lapperts ice cream! It's hot here in Kihei Maui and those sounds refreshing!

Great post - now I need to go out and buy soem shave ice!

looks like it works great!

so... did you see increase in traffic here ;) - just curious :)

"I find that all SlideShares are best viewed by clicking forward at your own pace instead of clicking the play button which advances the slides at a default rate."

That's true for me. When I did that, I appreciated slide show this more. Great collection of blogger quotes.

Intramuros is such a historic place. It's rich in culture. Thank you for this photo.

A few years back we have decided to cut TV network. I didn't mid it at all. True, we're missing LOST but that's alright with me ;)

I have a Facebook account but I use it the way you mentioned here. I don;t do those gift exchange stuff, etc. The only reason I joined is because most of our church friends joined and it's nice to hear what's going on in their lives as well as share some of what's going on in mine.

Now, my favorite at this time is TWITTER. I find it easy, less time consuming and effective in business networking. It works well for me.

Thanks for this post. I think it's a helpful guideline on social media networking :)
