Let’s Rename Earth To Cafe World

I’ve been in and out of the restaurant business. I closed down mine for good a couple of  months ago since I had to concentrate on more important stuff–like blogging??? I’m talking about my Restaurant City account, by the way. Cafe World has the same general game concept but different features and game play. I tried [ READ MORE ]

OpenSocial API and Facebook API Should Be Friends

Because Facebook decided to isolate itself from Google’s OpenSocial, if you’re a social app developer, you’d need to learn both Facebook API and OpenSocial API to penetrate all popular social networks.

Apparently, a crude but seemingly effective method of bringing a website down was used. I didn’t notice this because I was asleep between 12:30-15:00 UTC. Damn… The exciting things happen when I’m asleep. See TechCrunch [ READ MORE ]

On the Topic, Cory

Just like the time when the Iran elections was a buzz, the death of former president of the Philippines, Cory Aquino, was in every corner of the country’s internet. My TwitterFox gave out an alert every few minutes. At least half of the new tweets were about Cory. People “shed tears for Cory.” I have no [ READ MORE ]
