I just posted my day trip to the Sunshine Coast which I copied into here as well.

Yesterday my sister and I took a motorbike ride to the Sunshine Coast. Missed the 1st ferry so we had 2 yours to spend in Horseshoe Bay.

We had a breakfast and a walk in the town, then hopped on the bike and learned how to park the motorbike properly on the ferry.

Then we enjoyed the 40 minute ride to Langdale. I showed my sister all the islands along the way. I still remembered most of them…

When we got off the ferry, we rode straight to Gibsons taking the bypass, a fast almost highway-like rode which wasn’t pretty but quick.

It’s been two years since my last visit. It was strange driving through the streets of a town where once I lived 6 years.
Got flashbacks while I was showing her the houses I owned and homes I rented before, the places my kids grew up, their schools, playgrounds.

We’ve visited a friend, then met some more while cruising and walking through the town of Gibsons. Noticed a few changes here and there.

Had a nice dinner at the Bayview Restaurant. It was very cheep though the portion was so huge that my sister couldn’t finish hers. More »

Today, on Twitter, I decided to share my story of my search engine business. I don’t want to waste the story so I decided to just copy and paste it in here for the record… Each line had to be less than 140 characters short, so it looks kind of wierd, but I think if you really want to, you can read it. Some of you reading this might actually learn a few things about my search engine business experiences. So here it is. Enjoy. More »

I know that a bunch of other blogs were posting collections of Twitter like sites, however most of them I found (ranking on the top of the Google SERPs when searching for that kind of stuff) were outdated, so let me include a most recent list here for if not yours then my easy reference.

• Twitter (Well yeah, twitter is the most twitter like service out there)
• Plurk (Displays status updates on a cool scrollable timeline allowing smiley faces etc.)
• Tumblr (Kind of like Twitter in WordPress style, highly customizable and with dofollow links but on subdomains )
• Rejaw (Just like Twitter but shouting: nofollows with users in directories, except faster possibly due to must lower number of users)
• Kwippy (Almost exactly like Twitter: just as slow and people are following each other – with threaded comments!)

If you feel like adding more relevant sites to this list, please send it to me in a comment.
