I Fell In Love…With a Neighborhood

Where’s the best place to live? It all depends on you!  That’s one of the reasons I always hate those Money Magazine lists.  Since house shopping is such an individual activity, and everyone has a different set of criteria, it’s hard to find a match.  That’s where Hoodeo comes in.  A self-proclaimed ‘neighborhood matchmaker,’ the [...]

Send Twitter Gifts With Hiimok

Here at RotorBlog, Arnold Zafra busts his butt to bring you the latest and greatest Twitter happenings and apps.  That’s why I just sent him a cold beer.  A bunch of them.
Unfortunately, they’re not San Miguels.  In fact, you can’t even drink them.  Kinda cruel.  But it’s the thought that counts, right?
The ‘gift’ was sent [...]

Get Your Video Gaming Fix at Vigster

How I wish that Vigster already exists when I was still a hard core video gamer. It is definitely a haven for all types of gamers – console, pc, portable, casual gamers, you name it, you’d definitely find Vigster a useful resource for all your gaming needs. If Glinkster was a cool social networking site [...]

The YouTube Screening Room Connects Films and Audiences

YouTube is no doubt the most popular video sharing site today (any objection?). It has become the world’s largest TV. Everyday new user-generated video content, pirated TV shows, movie trailers, concert snippets, video ads are uploaded in YouTube. Some of them get the views they deserve, some do not. Among these video contents that get [...]

Environmental awareness involves people and needs the power of people to successfully carry out its mandate. Hence, we should all support Greenopolis.
