Ping.sg and MeJuly 5

Ping.sg was started as a bedroom project by myself. I was the sole designer, coder, and investor. [More on the history of Ping.sg]

It has been 2 years since the project has started and the Singapore blogger community has seen a very steady and promising growth over the years. Membership and readership counts have increased steadily over time.

I created Ping.sg to be a platform that helps to connect local bloggers and blog readers. So far I believe it has been pretty successful at doing that. Occasionally, we do see some commercial sites or adult sites trying to abuse the site to gain traffic for their commercial benefits. Thanks to the reports from the community, we have been able to cope with such abuse by banning such sites from Ping.sg, thus retaining the relevance of the community - aggregating latest and interesting blog posts for bloggers and blog readers.

Over the years since Ping.sg was launched, we have seen a lot of good posts by bloggers and the growth, not just in size but in significance, of the Singapore blogosphere. We have also seen a fair share of ‘blog wars’ among the bloggers, attacking each other.

Twitter Killed My BlogJune 5

Twitter killed my blog.

Now I am only able to blog in 140 character or less.

I can’t construct sentences anymore.

Needless to say paragraphs.

Sucks.

BTW, I am starting to love the Widgeous office guys more and more. Love the more-than-weekly geek talk with the Ridzuan, Kah Wee and Aen.

Presenting Tomorrow at Barcamp Singapore IIMay 20

I’ll be presenting Widgeous publicly for the first time with Ridzuan tomorrow at Barcamp Singapore II.

Not only that, Widgeous will also go live some time tomorrow. Yes, we are finally going to be live. And I’m glad we beat Duke Nukem Forever and Chinese Democracy.

Now I have crazy amount of work to catch up with…

… on top of preparing for the presentation.

Special thanks also to Kah Wee and Aen who have also been working hard with us in polishing our product and site.

My Podcast DebutMay 5

These guys are fast. We were only doing the recording last Saturday and the Tech65 crews has got the episode edited, mastered and published!

Do check out my podcast debut with Daniel and NTT at:
http://www.tech65.org/2008/05/05/65bits-episode-69-the-one-with-the-pingfather/

I know I speak really bad compare to the experienced crews, but do spare your LOLs.

It was a really great experience for me and it was such a pleasure to be able to do a show with the great guys at Tech65. Let’s hope they’ll invite me back again some day. :)

Anyway, do subscribe to 65 Bits - the best podcast in Singapore, not just for technology only, but for all podcasts. (Well maybe cause I’m only listening to tech and poker podcasts).
