My opinion?
- I won’t want my friend to get charge RM0.15 per sms to reply me on WebSMS by Maxis unless they are willing to…however most people will not be aware of it.
- They will tend to reply on the same number and chat like normal which end up spending more for the intented users.
- Maybe if they send the SMS back to my mobile phone but it will defeat the purpose of this service.
Good side of Maxis WebSMS?
No frustration of sms using mobile keypads and can have a chat room style messaging.
It’s free as long as 3 SMS per day and your friend replied you.
Able to text your friend while charging your phone.
Your gain is your friend’s loss<—-mind you they are being charged higher~!
Bad side of Maxis WebSMS?
Charging 15 cents which is much lower if same network is concern for SMS.
Only for Maxis networks.
Limited to only 3 messages per day.
Have to find ways to remember my friend’s mobile numbers to be keyed in.
Experience WikiMapia to describe the world!
A cool and interesting website which have panorama photos attach with the worldmap to describe the world or places in a country really caught my attention. The name of this cool website is no other than the WikiMapia.Let’s experience this cool new website.
I stumbled upon WikiMapia and search on Bali, Indonesia. The result of interesting places and hotels around this tourist spot is informative. WikiMapia provide searches for many different categories as long as the place is in the map and it is located in Earth.
WikiMapia is an online map and satellite resources that combines Google maps with Wiki system. What intrigue me is that there are thousands of placement for any country in a world which really help us to find a restaurant, school, shop, house and etc. It incorporated Google Panoramio and other Google may types.
WikiMapia may be a great tool to help us to research on places we want to visit before we plan for our trips oversea and also good for business trip which require us to search for a specified location for business purposes.
You can get more information on WikiMapia at Wikipedia here or just try it yourself in WikiMapia.
Here are some snapshots from WikiMapia of Bali, Indonesia.
Same as Google Panoramio…it present you HardRock Hotel In Bali, Indonesia.
Searching for Hotel in Bali at an area…..with WikiMapia..
Microsoft Bing vs Google Search engine
Will Microsoft Bing be a rival Search engine with Google in the future?
With the newest collaboration between Microsoft Bing and Yahoo! ..
With the new search engine BING….
versus GOOGLE?
You can have a look of this person reviewing Bing and Google.
Personally, I still think Microsoft Bing has a long way to go. Although, the left category search target is sometimes useful but I am still with Google. Whenever I think of searching something …..I will say I” GOOGLE IT”
The language is still there….we don’ t say ” I BING IT”, right?
Of course, I will give Bing a chance and try it out every now and then.
Let’s see if there is any update on our old friend “Cuil” again.
Opppsss.. left out yahoo~
