Google just released this video showing the notable moments in 2011 that received massive amounts of search queries. It’s a pretty amazing video. When you look back at the year at was you’ll really be amazed with so much that happened on a global scale. Search on!

The value of a “Like” for a brand on Facebook just went down dramatically. Facebook just announced that they’re going to launch a “Subscribe” button for brands on Facebook. This button will be not just available on the social network but they will also roll-out a plug-in that developers can install into their websites. The [...]

Google+ finally launched Google+ Pages for brands this morning! If you want to create a page, head on over to this site. Making one is very easy and it won’t take you more than 5 minutes to set it up. I already made a Google+ Page for TV5. Check out the screenshot below! Click here [...]

Why go to the beach just to go online? A friend asked me this after I told her I went to Boracay to check out the new Smart Evolution LTE internet connection. The internet and the beach didn’t used to get along. But I haven’t seen them get along as well as fish and chips [...]

Let me just take this opportunity to greet all the readers of New Media PH a very Merry Christmas! I’m sure you’ll all be either spamming Facebook later greeting your friends or will probably be offline because you’ll be celebrating with family and loved ones. Regardless how you choose to spend your time tonight please [...]

The Blackberry Curve 9300 (3G) is an awesome experience in a pretty basic phone. It is RIM’s newest entry level Blackberry, so it only works to impress those who have not been “Berried”. After trying this out for a week I can now say that I have been “Berried”. The Good I don’t like having [...]

I’m actually very simple to please. And usually when I’m pleased, I don’t mind paying for something. Classic point in case: Starbucks Coffee. They allow the customers to request for almost whatever they want for their drinks. What happens when the customers get what they want? They get happy and they pay. But this is [...]

A few weeks ago, an article here at NMP talked about how social media is an information gateway, and we are the gatekeepers.

They say the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. In my case, this is possible in 2 ways: food and laughter. Food makes me full, and laughter can make me have gas. It may not be the desired effect, but it got to my stomach. As this saying usually applies to [...]

Linchpin is one of the most influential and thought-provoking books this year. It’s about the value of being indispensable. Here at New Media PH, it’s pretty obvious that we’re big Linchpin fans–our ragtag group keeps posting about it. This is why. Indispensable means to be absolutely necessary for something or someplace.

Shipping is not as simple as it sounds. And idea, a project or a business has many parts to integrate for it to ship. One way I find really effective to ship is to break it in to chunks. Most of us make a to-do list daily. I have to admit that when I started [...]

Have you ever decided to go on an outing with friends, actually plan it and go on that outing, whether it turned out okay or not? That’s shipping.
