While I was browsing the web and reading blogs of people about the recently concluded SEO Philippines meeting last Sunday at the Fort (which I missed), I bumped into a post by Jayvee Fernandez about PC Magazine Philippines being the best local tech mag according to a readership survey by Synovate Media Atlas released on […]

Good-bye Pusit.com: Hello Friendster Philippines?

Monday, October 30th, 2006

I posted a few pictures of the closed office of pusit.com and asked the question “Where did pusit.com go?” Looks like some of the answers are falling into place. Here are little bits of information I have obtained from multiple unverified sources.

Friendster has been outsourcing work to EGG. Most likely for their mobile stuff since […]

Which looks better? Hmm… Have […]

I have decided to take a short blogging break. This is primarily to focus on a lot of stuff at work (that is spilling over to my private time. tsk tsk tsk) and to focus on defending my Master’s Thesis (Which is not very technically hard but it is very administratively taxing).
