I remember “LIKING” some photos in Instagram. Woot! Totally rad!

I’m on Pinterest
Lately I’ve been noticing posts about Pinterest. It was just the other day that I got interested and decided to see what the fuss was all about.
Boy, oh, boy! What have I been missing! It is a wonderful virtual world. I am specifically drawn to the practical DIY, colorful crafts, photography boards, yummy recipes, ideas on home designs, gardening tips and even steel buildings. I am immensely enjoying myself looking at the photos and reading the articles. I’m afraid I won’t have much time to do all those things because I am glued to the visual delights.
It’s like the best of what the blogs/websites have to offer in an easy to find place, no need to blog hop or anything like it.

I still have a lot of boxes/spaces to fill in my boards 😀

Gifting Season via Online Discount Vouchers
Gifting season is around the corner and I’m sure lot of people have their lists being filled up. Not me though, haha.
Been busy with a lot of things and as always, shopping takes a backseat. I’m enjoying doing some online shopping recently and as a matter of fact, I just purchased several vouchers for frozen yogurt and a cake (this will be delivered at home, woot).
Two months ago, we had a music players delivered to our home, bought 50% off from an online store. We also enjoyed our 50% off the price chocolate cake courtesy of another online discount voucher. I’m wondering though if I should buy Christmas presents from these sites. I’m getting ideas for gifts for boys online as well as gifts for family friends.
Last night we had a great time at a Japanese restaurant, thanks to 2 vouchers purchased online at 50% off the price.
I don’t know why I still haven’t written about our foray (mostly food vouchers) into these online discount voucher “shopping” since all purchases have been good. So far.

Facebook Privacy Issues
You think everything you put in Facebook, no matter how you keep it private, remains private? Think again.
There is currently a movement called EUROPE V FACEBOOK and if you read the issues there (never mind if some were written in German, have someone else translate it to you like I did), you will learn a lot.
Here is another link about Facebook’s Privacy Issues.
What you will learn will make you re-think about the thing you personally share.
On the other hand, at least in Facebook, you found long-lost relatives, friends and people you used to be friends with and that’s a good thing. In fact, you think it is the best thing to happen ever since you learned to surf the web.
Ok then, just be careful about the thing you post and please, keep some of those information PRIVATE.
Keeping Small Businesses Afloat
Small businesses can thrive because of their satisfied clients’ recommendation and word-of-mouth advertising. On the other hand, these small businesses will also have to deal with clients’ bad-mouthing them through online forums and blogposts especially when these customers were unsatisfied with their services.
After all those hard work, expenses with advertising, display banner stands, networking online and offline, being extra nice to people and working long hours only to be destroyed by a post or a tweet. That’s.so.sad.
I’m not sure if I like the way online communities “talk” about some topics, whether in a good light or otherwise. Some people post things online that go viral and make things worse instead of having two conflicting ideas meet in the middle. The kuyog or online mob mentality is also something which no one wants to be at the receiving end.
I guess, it has to be a two-way street, don’t join online mob mentality so you won’t be the subject of one.
Of course, there’s no stopping others saying what they think and stating their opinions but in doing so, WE should proceed with caution lest we hurt others without knowing what the real score is all about.
