Tweeting


Came across this wonderful image that was put up on the twitter page a while ago saying "Too many tweets, try again later". How creative!

Having said that, twitter IM is finally up and running. That was my first tweet after the IM started working LOL. I felt full of life seeing the IM service work. I don't know if twitter will be of any use but, it's fun. If you are feeling bored visit the site http://twittervision.com. An excellent mash up of Google earth and Twitter which shows where the tweets are coming from.

There's also http://flickrvision.com. The 3D earth feature on both the sites is amazing. It shows the dark ( with lights in the cities ) and sun lit zones too.

The Forbidden Kingdom

"... Strength is like water. Nothing is softer than water. Yet it can overcome rock. It does not fight. It flows around the opponent. Formless, nameless...the true master dwells within. Only you can free him." - An ancient Chinese proverb explained in The Forbidden Kingdom. A good movie. Fantasy, Comedy, Action blended perfectly. Highly recommended if you are feeling stressful, tired, bored etc. It's a feel good movie. Very refreshing indeed. The dialogues were written quite well. The only problem you'll probably face is understanding Jackie's and Jet Li's English. Aah! their ridiculous Chinese accent. I'd rather watch it with sub-titles. The storyline is very predictable in the end but you'll find it nice. closing scene in the movie resembled Kung-Fu Hustle in a way because of it's classy romantic touch.
