PhloggerX...Potentially an SG version of Twitter?

I'm not sure how many used to use Phlogger in the past. For those of you who don't, Phlogger is very much like Twitter in that it allowed Singaporean users to SMS in updates and MMS-es regarding their activity status. Difference is, it was a vrey solo affair without any community building element.

 

For some time now, Phlogger has been closed down...but they're relaunching a new version of it called PhloggerX . Now i'm thinking...What if we used phloggerX and mashed it up with Twitter much like Ping.SG has linked their shoutbox to twitter...

 

Wouldn't that allow Singaporean twitterers to twitter via their mobile phones without incurring the overseas sms charges? 

 

Is anyone a beta tester for PhloggerX?

Backgammon Tiger

Backgammon is a game that’s been played for ages. And with online gaming becoming a very hot online activity. Backgammon Master’s is introducing their latest software using a ground-breaking and original approach to promote and establish their skill game software in the online game market.

 

In a recent press release, they’re creating a new dimension in online backgammon branding in their 5-part interactive animation series titled “Life According to Jean-Claude”. Jean-Claude is actually an animated tiger brought in a well-designed and cleverly scripted effort to illustrate to a wide audience the appeal of backgammon as a skill game truly loved and played by all people, from all walks of life from around the world.

 

It’s really interesting because Jean-Claude will be portrayed as a humoristic, mafia type, dressed in 70's clothes (bell-bottoms and cream-colored shoes, a button-up shirt with a dice print and a large dollar sign chain around his neck) sitting in his trailer in the used junk car lot he manages.

 

I think this idea is really unique because it adds a very fun perspective to learning backgammon . I myself have been trying to learn how to play backgammon for a long time now but always found the rulebook too thick and complicated to actually understand. Perhaps cartoons will do the trick. Hah.

  Have you wondered how boring the world would be without bloggers? Can you imagine a world where you don’t have all those petty online squabbles, conspiracy theories, scandals, jokes, dumbasses making a fool of themselves. Imagine a world where you only had…the newspaper. Boring right?

Think about it. Without bloggers, who’d be in-charge of the internet? No one! Thankfully we’re here! And we can just as much make and break corporations. Start worldwide movements or organize useless flashmobs!

We really do rule the world. Really.
