The New Seven (7) Wonders of The World

Have you ever heard of the 7 wonders of the world, recently they have asked more than 100 billion people worldwide to cast the vote of their choices on the 7 wonders of the world. The results is as follows;

• The Great Wall of China

• Petra in Jordan

• Brazil’s statue of Christ the Redeemer

• Peru’s Machu Picchu

• Mexico’s Chichen Itza pyramid

• The Colosseum in Rome

• India’s Taj Mahal

Well, i have dig up the internet and i am not sure what is the criteria to be the seven wonders of the world. For what i can think, the measures should be the historical, magnificent and the age might be set for the primary criteria.

Just my ramblings of the day!!

Using your phones to buy a House? I think this is quite normal as many of the carriers such as Maxis, Celcom and Digi promote their products through customers’ cell-phones. The only thing is that sometimes it becomes annoyed if the messages keep on piling inbox. As they have ordered a review from Sponsored Reviews, here are the outcomes.

Now, the case is different with this particular House4Cell, any information on buying a house is will appear to your cell-phones by request. Hopefully, even by request they are not taking any advantages to resend the same messages again to customers cell-phones’ inbox.

Well….i think this is quite IT savvy in the sense that every information that you request on house buying, real estate infos is at your fingertips. They even provide pictures up to three (3) maximum to get a view of hoe your future real estate is before viewing physically. This is what i called information at your fingertips.!!

Walla, the founder of House4Cell is actually Steve Wachs and David Wach, probably they are brothers who co-owned the Cellit Mobile Marketing.

They’ve really got something to represent the property market by having the so called Real Estate Text Messaging Solution, and according to their statement;

Cellit Mobile Marketing was formed initially to create House4Cell, and has since branched out into other industries as well. Cellit’s management has experience in technology, business, and real estate.

Steve Wachs, the visionary behind House4Cell, has over thirty years in real estate. He has started and managed several real estate offices and is a designated broker.

Well…atleast there is something juicy happening in the interenet world as far as the technology is concern.

My Views on The Website

The site looks a little dull and many things can be improve for the benefit of user experience. Try to sign up and see. Even on their parent website which is Cellit Mobile Marketing looks a little bit dull. But for now, i think the services is only available for U.S customers and not for international customers.

But the drawbacks is that they even provide further detail information to customer by request through services such as faxing and emailing to name a few.

My Friend and i were assigned to be a customer services phone operator on 28th of July to the hot line call center of KPDN& HEP. This is a high time where the salaries hike had a turbulence towards the commercial community and every business owners are starting on a price hike rally.

Well, there you go…the Minister, Dato’ Mohd Shafie Apdal have instructed that the hotline were given high priorities as to facilitate any complaints through out the year.

But then, we’ve waited until 10 pm and hardly getting even one call from the public.

Actually the reason for this would be :

Point 1

Since we’re in the headquarters, the line will accept only cell-phones calls and calls within the Klang Valley. The state incoming calls will be diverted to the State Office’s of the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs. Meaning to say, if you’re calling from Johore, the calls will be answered by the personnel at the Johore State Office. But the case is different for those calling from their cell phones.

Point 2

I think the public couldn’t care enough to memorize the toll free number. But maybe i’m wrong as the perception of the public towards toll free numbers by government agencies is that the services delivered is somehow not up to their expectation. Nevertheless, various effort taken to get the public aware of the numbers for them to call. The toll free numbers is 1 800 886 800 and for short messaging services (SMS) is 32255.

Point 3

Maybe the public think that enforcement officer have taken great measures to endure any price hike and there would be less favorable in the publics part to lodge a complaint.

However i myself would not prefer to hold a task as a customer services phone operator. Since it creates some boresome situation for just to be available at the phone at all time regardless of anyone calling or not.

And… the fact is, i really, really, really appreciate those as a customer services phone operator on putting their commitment on the job.!!

Here are two (2) pictures of my friend and i at the call center;

With the heavy campaign and the coming Consumer day on the 26th of July 2007, still, we can see that many of our consumers be it the youth and the veterans get conned and cheated. Well, i think as a consumer at whole, just being honest to myself, everyone…and i mean everybody get conned or cheated in what ever the circumstances.

Being cheated online, cheated on trading physically is a norm that one must admit…

But being cheated all the time may lead to a stupidity. Why …because you are stupid to be always cheated by someone else.

As for Malaysians, there is a portal targeted for the youth in giving out consumer education, which is which, becoming smart consumer, listing out the National Consumer Policies and announcing activities as well as any scams activities.

It is a portal purely for the Malaysian consumer known as Smart Generation.

Introducing the Smart Generation of Share and Power!!!!

Well, actually it is not a new portal i might say, because it have been around for quite some time. And if i could recall, i think it has established around early 2006. The site is actually administered and maintain by a third party which have been appointed by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs to educate the consumer in a manner that could be well perceived by the public.

The site is a platform for the Malaysian consumer to interact and they do have that platform for community connections. Having event calendar is an easy way to track what is happening around for Malaysian Consumers.

Drawbacks!!

But i hate the advertising part at the corner down to the left of the portal. Do you know why i hate it….because there is one scam advertising of getting USD0.10 through e-gold by joining this programs…. i hope that the administrator should be able to monitor any advertising that lead to misconduct and confusing the consumers.

Conclusion

As a matter of technicality, i believe that the government have spend a tremendous amount of tax payers money to actually educate their consumer. The bottom line is that the consumer themselves must be able to enable their power within the scope of the consumerism.

Be a Smart Consumer, Smart Generation, Do not get conned and get cheated.!!!

Check their portal at Smart Generation

Another Friday prayer at the Uniten mosque again….i think i am the loyal Friday prayer at Uniten as many faces throughout the Friday’s seems very similar to me. i should make some networking there as most of them comprises of the civil servants.

Usually i went there with Azhar, Mizool, Salleh, Nazri. These people could be the permanent representative of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affair to the Friday Uniten Mosque, including me.!!!

But today, seems there’s no body at the office, only Mizool and me going to the Friday Prayers at Uniten. As to our routine, we go for lunch at the food court could normally known by their student as “UPTEN”. Its either two stalls and two choices to go which is the Briyani or Asam Pedas delicates.

Actually Uniten Mosque is very closed to my heart as i graduated from UNITEN, and most of my Friday prayer were spent at the Mosque. It has been a wonderfull memory to refresh back as a student once upon a time and UNITEN mosque could be one of the most impressive design and the most comfortable built layout for prayer to move and mingle around.

Hopefully TNB will contribute more by preserving its uniqueness as being the floating barge type Mosque in Bangi. Congrats TNB for contributing something for the Nation….

What’s so special about Ashop shopping cart software? I believe they are a new comer in providing a shopping cart sofware for e-commerce solution to the internet merchant. But dont get confused as actually their website is www.ashop.com.au, compared to www.ashop.com.

Been to my surprise as the Ashop Commerce have a JV with Smorty whereby subscribing to their software are entitled for free paid to blog adverttising oreder in Smorty….or…they comprises of the same company who runs a portfolio in this internet business.

Why Ashop Commerce compared to other shopping cart software??

I would hesitate to say that the shopping cart of Ashop Commerce is just another shopping cart sofware in the market compared to others such as paypal, internet marketeers’ choice, 2CO, Worldpay and other. But they put a little tweak in their software, such as sms order alerts availability, integrate with repeat customer accommodation, and they even provide their packaged with Google CheckOut Payment Option too.

Furthermore they have customized and easy to shop website themes for your shopping cart. I still crossed my finger on saying that the Ashop is really new compared to the trusted shopping cart provider that have built their reputation for years. Howver, we must admit that the internet is a fast moving world and everything that you know today might be an old schooll story tomorrow. This is similar to offerings of service provider, if you think you are great today , maybe you are not tomorrow due to the fact that your competitor is much better in giving better services to clients.

Ashop Commerce Overview

They claimed to won multi awards as follows:

Ashop Commerce provides a turn-key ecommerce solution with it’s revolutionary online store building software. One of the worlds most easy to use web based administrations with award winning features allows the merchant to build an online store capable of competing with the webs most powerful sites for a simple, low monthly fee. Having helped 1000’s of now successful merchants, Ashop Commerce is the most intuitive shopping cart software in the world providing the most up to date and relevant advice you need to start or advance your online business.

Accept credit cards online, customise the design, features and all content of an online store by yourself within hours! Feel free to test drive our demo store’s to see the advanced functionality for yourself.

I would say that Ashop commerce will find a fierce competition in the market. But on the other hand, marketing on the internet is very huge as everyone will get their portion of something. But as Ashop Commerce have go extensively in promoting their services, with professionally design website, i think there’s no doubt that they would be one of the major shopping cart provider if not one of the best.

Should i used it?

There is no doubt they are providing services to the merchants, but as the case goes, i would say that giving it a try is ok. My priorities if buying any goods or services online is to compare prices, get the best quality, be smart when buying online and get the best deal. Ashop commerce as a shopping cart software do have that qualities. Check it out at Ashop Commerce.

Another opportunity to make money with blogging is with Smorty.com. They have similar to other paid to blog program on the internet. They pay every reviews posted in your blog every week through paypal.

This pay to blog really becoming a new way of monetizing your blog and an alternative despite the conventional Adsense and other contextual and text advertising method.

So.. What’s is Smorty ?

Smorty is a service connecting advertisers with bloggers. Advertisers can pay bloggers to write opinion posts with links back to the advertisers site.

Same as other pay to blog program available, Smorty is a paid to blog which pays you money to review and post in your blog. I personally have made USD10.80 from Smorty alone by reviewing two post in this blog. And the juicy part is that they pay you weekly through paypal!!!

The User interface is friendly as you’re were give an option to accept, remove and submit post. They give you maximum of three (3) days to complete the offer. The drawback is that not many opportunities is available from the advertiser. I myself have sign up for more than three weeks and only got an offer for two reviews. Payment wise is superb as they adhere to they policy paying weekly.

Is Smorty Have Any Differences?

Is there any difference? i think no…it is just a paid to blog programs which has similar modus operandi with other paid to blog website. The difference might be the user experience when using their user interface and i found it Smorty user interfaces’ is very friendly and easy to navigate compared to PayPerPost which sometime take times to load ( or maybe my internet connection is slow).

Conclusion

I dare to say that making money bloggin would not make you rich but if you can pull all the available paid to blog website taking the opportunities offered, i can say making around USD 150 to USD200 a month as a pocket money is worth a try. Check it out for get paid for blogging

It was about couple of weeks ago that my ex-boss, even we’re in the same division i still regard him as my boss, and he were given a task to make the Price Fluactuation of the Control Item in Malaysia real-time data for the officers, maybe on the next stage we would go real-time to public.

As what we experience, The Control Item Prices in Malaysia sometimes does not reach the public’s knowledge and it takes time for the public to know what’s happening. So after several discussion in pursuit of solution, we came out with Bloomberg ideas. So we called Bloomberg guys to come over to the office and demonstrate how can the Bloomberg effective system would be able to cater to our needs.

As we sat down, on the meeting tables, discussion have been made about all the benefits of using Bloomberg. According to them bloomberg have many clients around the world and their services is basically as what available at their website ;

Bloomberg is about information: accessing it, reporting it, analyzing it and distributing it, faster and more accurately than any other organization. The BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL service, the company’s core product, is the fastest-growing real-time financial information network in the world.

So we were very impressed, asking them to demonstrate the system to us. These two guys from bloomberg looks very pleasing at first as they starting out to demonstrate with their own company laptop. As we continued discussing to pass the time and allow the websites of Bloomberg to load using his 3G card.

The guys were expatriate and both of them have various MultiNationals job experience, the guys told us that it have been around 4 years working here at Bloomberg Malaysia.

But to no avail….actually nobody realizes that there were no 3G connection here, in the middle of Putrajaya? So….i asked him, what carrier do you use, he said it was Maxis. MAxis???does not have 3G coverage here?.

The Bloomberg guys seem very annoyed and frustrated and they become somewhat “giving up” by the idea of connecting to the internet. More of this, as i whispered to my colleague, its is such an absurd thinking there was no 3G connection in the middle of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) territory. What the hell does Maxis is doing.

Towards the end, we tried to used the wired line internet connection but were not lucky enough as the Office server is down. Becoming a little bit shame facing this Blommberg guys and we commence on discussing as both parties looks very frustrated with what happened.

Therefore, what might you think that 3G connection is not available in the middle of Putrajaya, the Centre of Federal Government Administration? Or is it there is less demand for 3G connection and the carrier couldn’t care less about it.

So…how can we suppose to encouraged the usage of the internet and developing the so called e-commerce when having halt 3G connection in the middle of Putrajaya? I dare that we would not be able to hover the usage of internet connection as information sharing is very crucial nowadays especially when an organisations communicate with other organisations.

I think this might be one of the irritating experience and to add it further, the discussion is between us and the Mat Salleh guys!

Just came back from watching Transformer Movie at GSC IOI Puchong. Only one word that i can describe about the movie….awesome!!!!

Geeting back to home from my office as i drive through LDP highway, my wife is not around as i send her off for a duty at Kuala Terengganu…sob..sob…sob…But then becoming bachelor again is something that is imperfect. I feel like my life is not complete without my wife. However, as i drove towards Puchong, at a glance i was thinking that my brother had watched this Transformer movies last friday and i thought why not!!! lets watch it alone at IOI Puchong. Lucky me as i did not missed that junction to IOI Mall Puchong. Seeing the “Parking at Roof Top” sign, i then step on the pedal towards the parking ticket and shoot up all the way to the roof. Why? because i know the Cinema is on the top floor!!! pssst…its a secret.

Here’s what happened, bought the ticket at 7.10 and the movie starts at 7.20. Not many people viewed today as it is a weekday compared to the weekends. Actually i’ve got the intention to watched this weekend last Sunday, but alas, none of the movie tickets is available as they were fully book when i check on the GSC online web on Saturday.

By 7.10, the ticket is selling fast, putting myself on the queue, and went straight to the Cinema no.2. Hell….they said it was selling fast, but the seat are not that lightning occupied by the viewers….(yes its weekdays, what do you expect?). Even though it is not lighning seated, but it’s full house as to viewers coming in gradually time by time to occupy the vacant seats.

I thought i was luck as on my right there was nobody and thought that i could used that extra spaces to be treated as my privacy. BUt to no avail, one Chinese guy at the Middle aged 40+ came in alone and sweeping in asking room to pass through and seated left to me. Arrgghhhh….silly GSC….even this one spot of a seat they want to fill it up. Never mind, as my thought rumbles with the excitement of watching the Movie.

Well, i don’t want to comment much on the Transformer Movies, i believe the reviews have scattered all around the Net. Just Googled for the word Transformed the Movie. But from what i can say…..with only one word is….AWESOME!!!….

Backgammon is literally available widely over the internet. I doubt that everyone played the game before and heard of it never. But the catch is that some people play it for price winning.

If you googled on the net, the search outcome will turn out to be more than 9million websites that is available on the internet. So, this backgammonmaster have ordered a review from ReviewMe for this post.

Why BackGammon?

I’m not so sure, but backgammon is available for everyone on the net and it could be played for free, from google list as follows;

Backgammon Google List

Since there is a great competition on providing gaming services on the net, getting loyal players is crucial for them to survive. The same goes with the webhosting businesses since they’ve got a very competitive surroundings and they spend a lot on promoting, advertising, discounts and free stuff.

So I think this has the same modus operandi for the Backgammon games. The survival process is a great obstacle.

Backgammonmaster.com

Well, it is the same as other backgammon games, but browsing the web surely gives you moderate satisfaction of user experience.

But why folks….i think that the game itself is very common to net users, remembered during my primary school of playing this game, though I literally doesn’t have luck playing and having the tendency of losing all time…..i don’t like being bullied by..

Ok….what does this site has to offer actually….from what I can see, they pool the online players around the world, and voila…u can play among each other through a tournament and betting for the price winning. Surely I wouldn’t join…( luck is not always on my side) :P.

The Philosophy of the games ;

Backgammon is a game of luck and skill. It is played by two people with 15 checkers each on a board consisting of 24 spaces or points. The checkers are moved according to rolls of the dice. Each player tries to bring his own checkers home and bear them off before his opponent does, hitting and blocking the enemy checkers along the way.

Ok, now they’ve added a new Poker game to their so called the All-In-One lobby. Erm….they’ve got bonuses on each signups, playing it real in the tournament and you’ll win money.

As this is real, Backgammon have made quite a reputable name in their niche gamin industry by having it in real life tournament such as the 22nd Annual Nevada State Tournament. The pictures tells everything;

Conclusions

So guys… i can’t tell if its an chicken egg or a goose egg to consider with, they’ve got impresive website and their marketing effort to gather and to popularize the game is indeed great.

Checkout the site at backgammon.
