Tumblr, Twitter, and Email
In Tumblr we have reblog and like
In Twitter we have retweet and fave
They’re really just evolution of forward and flag with emails.
Am I right?

Facebook and Friendster
The following is a comment I left at this blog entry belonging to Pitra Satvika about his thoughts on Facebook becoming more like Friendster, at least in Indonesia. His blog is in Indonesian and my comments are mostly in Indonesian. I might translate it if enough of you care for it.
========================
Gue ga setuju menyebut Friendster sebagai starting point untuk social networking newbies. Loe bisa exist di beberapa site sekaligus kalau mau dan start di mana aja tapi kalau bingung maintain presence, kenapa musti banyak2?
I admit I’m a social networking junkie tapi I know my limits. Kalo udah ga feasible untuk di maintain ya gue tinggal, either abandon atau hapus account. Gue tinggalin Friendster karena selain bosen,gue ga dapet manfaatnya, isinya ngejunk semua, forward ini itu, jadi males, kaya daftarin diri untuk kena spam. Ya udah, gue tinggal, paling nyisain notice email untuk ultah tapi itupun sering gue ignore, hihihihi. Udah hampir ga pernah buka Friendster lagi sekarang.
Gue join Facebook to avoid spam. Awalnya seru ada game dll, tapi after a few months jadi bosen main game dan segala macem embel2nya itu cuma fluff ga penting sedangkan gue cari interaksi dengan temen2 gue. Berhubung Facebook ada status update dan bisa import dari Twitter, itu lah yang gue pake, ditambah messaging tapi bukan Facebook IM. I don’t do IM.
Untuk sekarang ini gue lihat Facebook sebagai rumah di internet. Segalanya tentang diri loe ada di sana. Mau pasang foto, komen, tulisan, status update, apapun itu. Facebook menjadi lifestream tapi tertutup karena orang lain harus gabung untuk lihat kehidupan online loe.
Gue ga join socnet to make friends, I join to connect with my friends I know already, kalau along the way punya temen baru ya itu something that happens aja.
Lagi mikir2 untuk ngurangin Facebook friends to people I only know in real life atau sering komunikasi lewat blog, email, milis.
BRING ME SOLO AND THE WOOKIEE. « classic I Can Has Cheezburger?
One of my favorite classics from a year and a half ago.
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.
Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!
-- B. Shaw
