Jogtug Celebrated 64th Anniversary of Indonesia's Independence
Few days ago, I joined @jogtug (Jogjakarta Twitter User Group) to celebrate 64th anniversary of Indonesia’s independence day. The community gathered in an event called #pitulasanTU (the word ‘pitulas‘ means “seventeen” in English). Why seventeen? Because Indonesia celebrates its independence day on Agustus 17. #pitulasanTU took place at Gedung Agung, Malioboro, Yogyakarta. The idea was…

Flickr Email Upload and Send to Twitter
Today, I tried another Flickr feature. It’s similar to what they have right now — upload by email. The difference is that after the photo uploaded, it will send a notification to Twitter, send an update status. If you’re familiar with Flickr’s Upload by Email, it should not be difficult at all.

I don't follow VIVAnews on Twitter
If you’re using Twitter, you might get some new followers in the last few days. One of them might be VIVAnews. I had VIVAnews followed me, but I didn’t follow it back. Why? I do follow some bots on Twitter to get updates as long as they don’t flood my timeline. Some media (portal) in…

Fenomena halaman Facebook tentang Say “NO!!!” to …

Karena terus terang, saya lebih aktif memanfaatkan Twitter daripada Facebook. Yang menarik — bagi saya — justru lebih kepada informasi yang bertebaran di halaman tersebut. Sepertinya…
