The PC Show in Singapore is now on at Suntec City! It has in fact started yesterday, from 11th – 14th June 2009, 12pm to 9pm.

Online Photo Albums and the Sink In Effect

Over on Smashing Apps a few days ago, they introduced a new photo sharing site – Expono. Immediately, my thoughts where “Gosh, another online photo album and sharing site?” Photo Credit: rs-foto Online services like photo sharing sites, microblogs, social networking sites, emails… all have a “sink in” effect.

Botak Jones

Botak Jones has arrived in the coffee shop in my neighborhood. I’ve never tasted their food before, but today I tried their Caesar Chicken Salad. It costed me $10, when a good bowl of prawn noodles, or a filling plate of rice with mixed vegetables and meat in the stall next to it [...]

I just realised Blogopreneur.com is listed on Singapore Alltop. Its good news, and good feedback too. So it seems I’m more of a “Singapore blogger” than “marketing blogger” eh?

“Do Not Reply” Email Addresses

The AWeber Blog has made a very simple but important point today. Basically, it says – don’t use “do-not-reply” email addresses in your campaigns. In the past, broadcasts and announcements work.
