On Old Friends in Facebook
Budi Putra posted a very interesting fact about Facebook: as of March 2010, Indonesia is at the top rank of Facebook users in Asia. With 18.9 million users, Indonesia is well ahead of the number two, Philippines (10.5 million), and number three, India (6.8 million). I am not surprised. Indonesia might pick up the trend [...]
Indonesia Unite… For What?
Within hours after two hotels in the heart of Jakarta were shattered by bombs, there has been a big development in Indonesian blogosphere, or should I say twitterworld. clipped from www.budiputra.com Started from Friday afternoon, the Indonesian Twitter users put their new red and white avatars (red and white represents the national flag)–while some avatars [...]
When It Became Too Real
A fan of online virtual reality game “Second Life” is being divorced after his wife caught his cyber character having sex with a two-dimensional prostitute (The Sun, Nov 14). clipped from www.thesun.co.uk David Pollard’s shocked missus walked out on him in tears over the fling between his randy computer “self” and the other player’s busty [...]
Keeping It Private
Is this a growing trend among Indonesian bloggers? I have found out that at least three of my blogbuddies have decided to restrict their blogs, which means only invited users can read them.

We lock the door so no one could enter without permission. But then we sit comfortably on the settee [...]
2007 Roundup: It's A Wrap
2007 will leave us shortly. And there are several things I would like to say to all readers who have visited my blog, read my postings, left comments and been involved in the discussions. Since 18 October 2007, after moving from my original Finally Woken in Friendster to Blogger, my new Finally Woken blog has [...]
'Real' Friends
Note: this topic came up when one day Ecky and I were exchanging gossip about someone we both know, and one sentence from Ecky struck me: ‘Do you think she even has real friends?’ I then tried to remember all the occasions she turned up, and realized that she was never with friends, always with [...]
