  • "Kamu World in its current form is essentially a collection of visualized virtual characters and chat rooms, with few game-like features. It has compelling and very polished look and feel already, though. When entering the world, players create their own Kamu creature, and choose a location around the world (e.g. a game arcade in Tokyo) to meet other Kamus in. Kamus appear as small, desktop-size creatures, smaller than for example a drinking glass."
  • "While you are chatting online using an instant messenger or via SMS you need to work out your fingers really fast on the keyboard to keep up with the chat. By using short forms and symbols this task is really easy but most of the users do not know the meaning or which short forms to use. Online gamers also use these short forms to stay in contact with their friends"
  • "It looks like Facebook has tonight turned on a feature called “Facebook Lite” for some users to test out. We’re getting bombarded by tips about it, and some of us are seeing it as well. Unfortunately, it appears that it may not be fully ready for prime time yet, but we have more information and what looks to be a screenshot below, so keep reading."
  • "While Facebook has created Pages to be the hub for brands, businesses, and celebrities to build their Facebook presence, it intentionally hasn’t made it easy for users to privately contact the administrators of a Facebook Page."
  • "We’ve read through the proposed TOS, and found all the areas Facebook has made changes. They’re listed below, with our commentary in line."
  • "Istahdimme siis tänään piknikille Hakaniemen torin kulman parkkipaikalle. Maksoin yhden ruudun verran parkkiaikaa pariksi tunniksi ja siinä sitten piipahti muutamia tuntemattomia kyselemässä, mistä on kyse. Lisäksi kymmenkunta ihmistä tuli varta vasten pikniklle.

    Homma päättyi reilun tunnin kuluttua, kun poliisi saapui paikalle ja kehotti meitä poistumaan. Olin aiemmin soittanut poliisille ja kysynyt, tarvitaanko tällaiseen parkkipaikalla piknikin viettoon esim. ilmoitusta yleisötilaisuudesta. Koska kyseessä oli “vähäisen määrän osanottajia” keräävä tilaisuus, niin minulle sanottiin, ettei lupaa tarvitse ja piknik on ok.

    Mutta rikoimmekin siis tietämättämme tieliikennelakia. Poliisiautosta kerrottiin, että parkkipaikalle saa parkkeerata vain moottoriajoneuvoja, ei polkupyöriä ja ihmisiä. Niinpä keräsimme kamppeemme ja poistuimme."
