Eyes & Ears On Social Media

Adventures In Social Media #3

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I’m trying to get through the local (Singaporean) “friendlies” first, so the third person to be featured in “Adventures In Social Media” is Claudia from Claud Talking.

I can’t remember how I actually got to find her blog but I’ve been impressed by the usage of social media for sharing information, word of mouth and gathering feedback. All in all, a good change from the usual Singaporean Meepok blog.

On top of that, I’ve discovered ping.sg via her, which I really enjoy using. I’d recommend that site to anyone who blogs locally too.

If you enjoyed this article, why not check out #2 (Shi Heng Cheong) and #1 (Derrick Kwa). Also if you liked it, do go to ping.sg and pong me.

Win A Wii Or Macbook Air!

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Now that I have your attention, this post is an add on to Claud’s post on a the Unexpected Australia challenge.

Essentially it’s a traditional competition where you have a few contestants, and the public votes for them to win. Of course, the public gets to win a Wii or a Macbook Air or a Nikon D60. All rather attractive prizes!

What’s amazing is the way one participant, Nadia, is using social media to get some votes and support via both her blog and other bloggers.

Are we finally seeing how someone in Singapore (even if it’s a Meepok blogger), actually “get” social media?
