I just knew that Nokia tune was composed in 1902. This tune — also called Grande Valse — is a phrase from a composition for solo guitar, Gran Vals, by the Spanish classical guitarist and composer Francisco Tárrega. And, it’s estimated that this Nokia tune is heard 1.8 billion times per day, about 20,000 times per second. [Reference: Nokia tune on Wikipedia]

OK, after the skateboard, I’m waiting for Nokia N8. I mean, waiting for the date when it becomes commercially available.

[from dadio.tv] Actually, it was not the first time we went to Lenteng Agung Railway Station. So, when we started our videoblog, we put Lenteng Agung into our list. So, we did it. After buying a ticket, we planned to stop at Gondangdia. But, considering our plan — which was suddenly changed — we decided to stop at Manggarai.

Twitter’s List Of 370 Banned Passwords. “Why ban them? They’re very easy for humans and brute-force hacking scripts to figure out, making it easier for people to get access to your account. On Twitter, this can be embarrassing. On other sites, this can be very costly.”

Are digital influencers selling out to Mammon? by Ong Hock Chuan
Moreover, many of these activities and campaigns are sporadic and are not part of an overarching strategy to engage their audiences. At some point, their audiences will turn away because these marketers and their brands fail to realise a truism of new media: that if they want to succeed, the brand needs to become content generators. They must become media themselves. And what they need to churn out is content–that is relevant and useful to their audiences, not some cheap short-term thrill.
What is more disturbing, however, is what harm this short-term gains could potentially do to the digital influencers who, so far, have been a genuinely refreshing new force in the influence sweepstakes.
From myspace.com/sandhysondoro
Sandhy Sondoro, was born on the island of Java, Indonesia. Came from a musical family, where the house provide the likes of American pop, folk, Jazz and blues tunes coming from his Mother’s or father’s guitar everyday. Those were the joy that shaped his talents . It is not traditional Indonesian music that influenced him but rather soul and blues.
His first experience as a street musician was gained in Biberach on the Riss in Baden Wurttemberg in 1996. The international flair of Berlin attracted him and inspired him. In 1998 he moved back to Berlin and started his career as Sondoro singing and playing the guitar in bars, clubs and in the metro. His famous song Down on the streets was inspired by the experience gained in Berlins metro.
On April 25, 2008 he published his debut Album with the title “Why Dont We” his sophistication for love, peace, and harmony. The album was very well responded around central europe although distributed through indie networking.
I’m not sure whether I will use this tool called Unfollow All or not, but right now, I don’t have plan to unfollow Twitter users I’m following. But, if I — or an account I maintain — need to do this, this tool should help me do the dirty job.

I’ve started my videoblog at orangebox.tv. If you want to find out other videoblogs from Indonesia (made by Indonesians), here are some of them.
Few days ago, I joined a discussion on other site about i-teve. I thought, I need to respond some comments there. Why? OK, someone wrote this:
wahhh parah banget nih i-teve. Niru2 youtube banget. Malu gw sama bangsa Indonesia. Bikin yang baru gitu dong, apa kek
OK. What about this:
Iya, tapi menurut gw kurang aja nih i-teve kalo konsepnya bener2 njiplak youtube. Plagiat mungkin adalah kata-kata yang tepat, atau mungkin copy cat?
The question is: does he — who gave comments above — already understand what i-teve and YouTube are? But, thank you for your comments… :)

When I heard about White House Photostream page from Yan Arief Twitter status, I visited it right away. No waiting. I’m an Indonesian, and I love seeing the topic like this — related to my own country — but, it’s not easy to find. Do we have great pictures of our President, or Istana Negara? Anyone?
I like seeing what happen in the White House. Not from political perspective. I just like it. If I have to choose some, here are some photos I like.
