Patchy Earth no more, Google+ integration and better search on the latest release of Google Earth. It’s just awesome.

Google to Retire Picnic, Urchin Among Others

Google announced they’re going to retire notable online apps like Picnic and Urchin with 4 others. Not entirely sad though because most of the services (mention earlier) are already merged onto existing core products: Google+ and Analytics respectively.

My 1000th Tweet

I still remember what my first tweet was:
To twit or not to twit. *

Like I always do on almost all the online services that manages to pique my interest, I signed up on Twitter on June 2007 just to have my own “@”. Not paying that much attention to it, dubbed as a micro-blogging site, I did my usual thing on my blog. And the constraint of 140 characters did put me off of it.

Fast forward a year and a half, my second tweet was:
Well, it took me about a year to answer my first twit, and it’s “to twit”. *

I haven’t stopped since and with no plans of stopping anytime soon.

As for the 1k milestone, nothing special but just pure narcissism:
Hello internet! I’m @onat. Movie lover, tech news fiend, lucid dreamer who blogs at ONATLOPERA(dot)com & this is my 1000th tweet. #milestone *

Yep, it’s awesome. Follow me @onat.
