I am not sure if it should be micro-blogging or microblogging. However, I prefer using microblogging since it saves me an additional keystroke.

If you have been twittering, you’ll know what microblogging is all about. Basically, it’s a blog with very short entries - usually just one liner as in the case of a Twitter micro blog.

What’s CMS?

CMS is Content Management System. If you have not heard about it, then it’s time.

I think one of the biggest advantage of using a CMS is the ease of updating your pages and creating new one.

Royal Plaza on Scotts, a Singapore hotel in Orchard Road area, won a silver award in Web marketing as reported by The Straits Times on 12 Feb 2008.

In-House SEO Training Workshops

Back in December 2006, I was engaged by Royal Plaza on Scotts to conduct a 2-day SEO Workshop. We had about 10 participants: the CFO, Revenue Director, Revenue Manager and marketing executives. They wanted to understand how search engine optimization and search marketing could help them to increase visitors to their Web site and to ensure that their Web designers and developers were doing the right things.

Here’s some of the photos taken during the workshop on 10 Dec 2006.

As an SEO practitioner, I read with interest the front page article on Today newspaper (Friday, 18 Jan 2008) about the Search Engine Competition - Star Challenge 2008.

• Wanted: The ultimate search engine
• Reward: US$100,000
• A*Star seeks to emulate Google, Yahoo

First of all, let me make it very clear that I think what A*Star is doing is good for Singapore. I want to support such an initiative and that’s the reason why I am writing about it. I believe the Star Challenge 2008 is not about building the ultimate search engine. The aim behind this search engine competition is marketing-driven - to be visible on the world stage so that search engine technology experts and researchers will take note of this small little island, Singapore, and probably come here to work at Fusionpolis.
