Just finished watching ‘Wanted‘, the action movie based loosely on the comic book miniseries of the same name by Mark Millar. It stars Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and some other actors I can’t remember.
The story revolves around a character named Wesley Gibson, who starts out as a god forsaken, disaffected, cube-dwelling, clock-punching drone. His life are nothing but boredom and routine. A similar tone to the movie Fight Club, one of my favorite movie ever.
One day, Wesley was picked up by the sexy foxy woman named Fox. Everything changes. He was introduced to a world of bullet bending super assassin killers, that belonged to a super secret society known as The Fraternity. They then train him to bend bullets, how to kill, how to feel no pain and eventually become one of them.
I wish a sexy Angelina look-alike would pick me up to join her fraternity too, don’t we all?

Digg.com is a social news website. People submit stories and other user ‘votes’ by either giving it a ‘digg’ or ‘bury’ for stories to either rise to the front page or bury forever in the hall of shame. The content of its website are moderated by its community.
Users could also comment and discuss on the story submitted. Other users then could also digg and bury comments. It’s a little bit advance then your 4chan or BBS type forum and the comment sometime are more hilarious then what you got on 4chan.
I spend a lot of my time on Digg and it is not because of the Snorgtees and Busted tee ads on Digg, no matter how cute. The Digg community sometime could be the most cynical people on the interweb. Unlike YouTube’s comment which is just plain rule and tasteless, Digg’s commenters are rule but in a very funny way.
Here is a little anecdote, one example to give you some idea of how it is on Digg, for those who are not familiar with Digg.

A while back I mentioned Tenaga National Berhad’s corporate blog. Today someone had brought to my attention of yet another local big blue chip corporate company, embracing blogs as an outlet to reach the people, also known as their potential customers. The company is Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and the blog is at malaysiaairlinesblog.com.
The blog has a more layback feel then the previously mentioned Tenaga National Berhad’s blog which to me it feels like a press release write-up, however it does give you some insights on the power industry.
“Living Malaysian Hospitality - Eating, Breathing, Sleeping MH”, is the name for the employee advocates’ Malaysia Airlines blog. Apart from the obvious reason, which is pushing sales, the blog aims to provide the public with a better understanding of the organization’s changing work culture.

Can you construct an entire story in just two sentences? That is what the author of Tiny Ghost tries to do on the website. With the help of images, mostly photographs, a whole story could be told in just two sentences.
Tiny Ghost is not your ordinary web comic, it do not even claim to be one. In fact it does not sees itself as a comic at all. I think itelf is having a hard time figuring out what it really is.
Each entry shows two pictures side by side and each picture has a one sentence caption. With just that, a whole story is been created. Each story so compelling that, I’ve lost a whole day of productivity in the office, I was going through each story on Tiny Ghosts.

Earlier to day, Google launches Knol, a unit of knowledge. In one sentence, a knol is an authoritative article about a specific topic. Conceptually it is very similar to Wikipedia, as it is yet another platform for sharing articles about specific topics.
Unlike Wikipedia, Knol holds authors accountable for the articles they write. Each articles are known as a ‘knol’. Knol authors take credit for their writing by providing their credentials to identify him or herself. This is done by disclosing credit card number, phone number or anything that can be use to validate real names.
Each articles are either created by a single author or a team of author collaborating. Other users can submit changes, but they have to be approved by the article’s original authors, before any changes available to the public. It’s a more moderated Wikipedia.
