Iceberg and Open Suse 11 Beta 3
Currently I am busy with creating an app using Iceberg. It’s a really nice platform so far and I’m enjoying it. I’m also busy testing out Open Suse 11 Beta 3.

Yes, it seems Zenbe is now ready for more users. I just happened to notice that zenbe registration now looks like this:
Go ahead and click the image to register for your Zenbe account.
Is Zenbe now open beta? I haven’t heard news of it though. Nothing in the forums (or did I miss something). It’s definitely [...]

Review: crowdSPRING
I’ve posted my REVIEW of crowdSPRING. I’m open to your opinion and violent reactions. Nonetheless, crowdSPRING is one great service, and one good example of how crowdsourcing can actually work.

Review: EverNote
I just finished my REVIEW of EverNote. Check it out here.
Somehow, writing a review for Evernote took longer than expected. How do you write a review about something that’s simple and easy to use other than saying that it’s “simple and easy to use for your note taking needs”? But it’s up anyway.
I also realized [...]

Microsoft walks away from Yahoo!
In the end, Microsoft walks away. No deal. No hostile take-over.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a crowdSPRING beta invite waiting in my mail yesterday. This is one creative freelancing site that I’ve been looking forward to try out. I’ve tried guru.com (creativemoonlighter.com) and elance, and what they don’t have is a way to measure yourself up to other bidders. For someone (me for example) [...]

Update May13: Forgot to update this post. This was fixed the following day. I didn’t do any changes. It just got fixed. So I’m guessing something somewhere was bugged. But it’s ok now.
I think wordpress is broken. I can’t go visual mode when writing a post/page. It says that the editor is Visual, but actually [...]
