Another Vernon Koekemoer (all posts on Pulseblog) news snippet.
Newest production he is features in, in Evolver’s music video for Pretty thing – and I must say it’s a very good quality production. And the band obviously is awesome!
Wow, very nice emerging technologies from Musion.

I’ve just been Rickrolled (WikiAnswers | Wikipedia ) on YouTube, was looking at the latest viewed videos, and found this video, “8 Teenagers Beat up 16 year old girl”, and when I went to view it, guess who it was….?
Aren’t we living in interesting times especially with stuff like this and other like the Vernon Koekemoer, Ken Lee and many other such phenomenons.
As usual Google is digging into their current user base and launching more and more new features which I reckon is slowly starting to take over almost each area of social networks on the internet, or some areas that is.
They’re latest new features is almost a Twitter/Friendster feature within Google Reader is with
- Sharing of bookmarklets, share anything(any content) with your friends you find, just drag and drop to toolbar and it’s instantaniously shared.
- Share items with a note, Share content/web pages with your own notes attached.
Now I just wonder what else Google has planned and at what point in their strategy will they be taking over the world.

- Mark Nicholson – Database “Key” Subtleties
- Zoho Blogs – IBM, Microsoft & Google Eras of Computer
