microblogging! and now microvideoblogging!

Maybe the micro-blogging can never fully replace the normal blogging, but that never stop new innovative thinking to be forged thus creating brand new platforms. it doesn't.

Maldivians, at least technologically literate Maldivians, are aware of Twitter, a micro-blogging service which allows the user to post 140 character status updates and read updates from other users. Quite addictive actually. :)

Now there is a another micro-blogging service known as Robo.to, which allows users to publish 4-second videos that act as visual status updates. According to NewYorkTimes.

survival of the fittest!!

Maldivian boys(hormone imbalanced adult males included) are fighting over the female species(which according to the some researches are twice in population than that of the males).
two weeks back one was stabbed to death. like they wanna impress the females by showing how superior they really are even if that is to kill the other competing males.
open any random daily news paper you will see new(yet another) fighting for the survival of the fittest- to get a chance to win a mating session with the female i suppose!

update: could not help but wondering why not do something amazing like this in Maldives and instead of the killing and stabbing.....
Teenagers with a £56 camera and latex balloon have managed to take stunning pictures from 20 miles above Earth.

Proving that you don't need Google's billions or the BBC weather centre's resources, the four Spanish students managed to send a camera-operated weather balloon into the stratosphere.
