Ever try texting this?
"I never knew till that moment, the madness of -- my dearest & most beloved friend -- I cannot express myself -- this is no time for words -- but I shall have a pride, a melancholy pleasure, in suffering what you yourself can hardly conceive -- for you don not know me. -- I am now about to go out with a heavy heart..."- Lord Byron

If you are still writing about how your blog/site has a Page Rank of 8 then I'm fairly sure you typed, "I am obsolete".

Keywords meta tags and page ranking, if you've been told that keywords in your meta tags matter for Google search, than get your money back.

Is That You?

By Ophelia Chong
March 3, 2010

Working virtually involves a keyboard, computer and an internet connection. No face to face, no seeing that I am wearing the same work out outfit since 6 am. Or the bird's nest on the top of my head. Or the the fact that I have a half eaten bowl of oatmeal by my keyboard.

I got an email last week, all the way from Istanbul. It was a wonderful email that boosted my spirits (and ego), but put a big question into my head. Would I move for a job?

It's Not Called 'Freebook'

What if I set up a service where you could archive photos, message friends, post your thoughts, organize groups, fan clubs, events and at the most basic level get in contact with friends and relatives, and gave you all that for free?

Lost And Found

I keep harping on the days before the internet, and about how we used to communicate by phone, mail and by word of mouth. Now of course we have our online communities that will sing the praises of a Thai diner or totally slam the cheap motel with bed bugs on highway 14.

Zero Degrees of Separation

By Ophelia Chong
January 29, 2010

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is based on the concept of the small world phenomenon and that you can tie any actor to Kevin Bacon within six degrees. With the world moving at the pace that it is, we can narrow that down to almost zero for our relationships.
