That’s right iPhone users, Singapore is getting the iPhone 3GS before us. And I too would say it, damnit! If you haven’t heard of the iPhone 3GS or seen it’s introductory video, have a peek.

I don’t know about you but the first thing I’m going to get dirty with the iPhone 3GS is it’s camera. Tap here, it focuses and tap there, it focuses. Cool-ness!

Where is Danny Foo?

Well, I’m still here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, thanks for asking. Though I’m believing the missing presence on my blog has been felt – based on Google Analytics. So here I am to share a quick note of what’s happening with me, around me and for me. :)

Change of website hosting provider

My previous provider; Easynet-Interactive, have been really great and I’ve been with them long enough to see good and bad changes. My decision to move wasn’t because of any bad experiences but it’s because I wanted to try another provider; Hawk Host. The lower cost and additional space acquired by subscribing to them was a plus.

Headaches of moving website hosting

During the move, I also wanted to rebrand my blog to a new URL; blog.dannyfoo.com. My reason was that URL would’ve been much easier to remember and it’s shorter – slightly. However, I found out the hard way the name changing for Wordpress isn’t an easy task. Long story short is I gave up and stuck to what was already there.

Downtime is downtime

Irregardless of the time it’s been down. We don’t call them robots for nothing. Even in the first hour, I’ve already detected several 404 requests. Then, within 2-3 days my statistics became more obvious of plummeting.

New content is still king

Because of the diminishing traffic, it forced me to realize my blog needs the equal attention of fresh content like my Twitter account. And by the way, I’ve 2 Twitter accounts; @dannyfoo and @simpleet.

We are swamped this month

All of a sudden. Well, not really all of a sudden but there’s an additioanl influx of website jobs coming in. Directly from Simpleet’s website and through referrals. So it’s keeping me really busy on a day by day basis. But like any business owner would say, busy is good.

And, I am broke.

Ever experienced a month you knew you had zero (0) income to spend before you even received your monthly salary? Well, I know that feeling now.

So that’s the gist of my life until now. Though I do look forward to resume my active blogging activities here as soon as the works roll out smoothly. :)

Twitter Hashtags and Trending Topic

On June 5, saw the launch of Nokia’s new mobile device; n97. But I’m not writing to speak about the device or the event, Neither was I invited nor attended. However, I’m writing this article in sharing how social media and bloggers powered the event using Twitter.
 

twitter nokia n97 launch

There are a couple of elements you should notice from the Twitter conversation above. These elements weren’t only flooding Twitter but instantly telling Google how important was the phrase used; n97kl.

Words with hash in front of them are called, hashtags. These tags are like keywords Twitter users use to identify a unique name or event or person – almost anything.

And the more users who use the same hashtag, it creates a trending topic – like ShaolinTiger mentioned. Trending topics are very powerful like getting #1 on page #1 of Google but it’s for Twitter.

Though Twitter is very slowly gaining popularity, it’s growing very fast. Last I heard, even some of the radio DJs have hopped onto it – Moots, Natalie, Pietro, Phat Fabes and etc.

And by the way, Twitter is one of the social media marketing tools you should be looking at for your business.
