bury me in this dress

Gone are the good old days of Phplurk and Phtwitter, free services which let us update our micro-blogs using our local carriers. We thought we won’t see a similar service again but I just found out that there are two services which do the same.

GladyCast

GladyCast allows users to update their Twitter and/or Plurk status. They initially offered their services to Singapore and Malaysia residents but they just recently added Philippines to their list. Right now, we can only use their Smart gateway but maybe they will have Sun and Globe in the near future.

In order to use GladyCast, you have to register first by connecting your Twitter and/or Plurk to Gladycast. You will then be asked to SMS a message to a Smart number.

Tweetitow

Tweetitow is a progressive service. Users can update their Twitter status AND receive replies. Now they are trying to integrate MMS,  ping.fm and posterous updates. Tweetitow has gateways for Smart, Globe and Sun so users with unlimited SMS services can take advantage of this. New users will be given 30 free credits for signing up and those credits are consumed when you receive replies on your phone. Sending updates will have no effect on the credits.

To register, text REG username password to your gateway number (globe: 0927-338-9183, smart: 0928-102-0579, sun: 0923-986-0673).

If you know of another service similar to GladyCast and Tweetitow, please let me know.

I was there! In fact, I liveblogged and livetweeted the event. The concert started at 7:30 PM and only half the capacity of UP Theater was filled. I was disappointed but after 30 minutes or so, the seats were almost full. I and Marck had our own table and chairs on the right side of the theater so we were kind of detached from the event. Still, there were times when I sang and clapped and cheered. I really had fun. Of course, the highlight for me is seeing Noynoy. I squealed when he entered the theater. *blush*

After the concert, I was hesitant to approach Noy but Phoebe dragged me. I was too shy to have our photo taken so I just took one of him and Phoebe. I had a picture with Mar Roxas though. Hrhrhrhr. I’m sure there will be other opportunities for photos but right now, I am content with just seeing Noy. *blush*

Another blessing I received, Noy began following me on Twitter. I have to thank Helga, Sparks, Elena, and Ederic for tweeting that he should follow me. I don’t know if it’s really him but I don’t care much. I’m just really happy.

Vote Noynoy for President!!!!!!

I know, I’ve been neglecting this blog. Well Plurk is to blame for this. For those in the dark as to what Plurk is, officially, it’s a social network cum micro blogging site. For me though, it’s more like a chatroom/forum wonderland. I joined the website because most of my twitter friends were transferring there. I was curious and it was getting lonely in Twitter. I was telling some friends that Plurk sucked but after a week, the addiction kicked in.

I’m not as addicted to it as I first was. At least I don’t think so. Plurk used to give me a natural high. It made me hyper and it felt like I was shouting whenever I posted or replied. I plurked for hours, forgetting sleep and even food that I became sick for awhile. It was that bad. Up to now my sleep pattern is fucked up because of the site. Used to be I can sleep 8 hours straight but now it looks like the most sleep I can get is 5 hours. Oh, before it sounds like I’m complaining, I’m so totally not. I love it even if I’ve neglected so many things because of the site. It’s only because my timeline is quiet right now that I am finishing this entry which I started…I forget…a week ago? But see her, I’ve benefited a lot from it. I’ve met some great people through it and they’re now my friends in real life. I discovered good films and music through recommendations by other Plurkers. There are more but the best so far is I’m *cough cough* quite taken with someone right now. I won’t give any clues as to who it is. Moving on…let me just say that Plurk makes me happy and I think that’s reason enough to justify this addiction.

Sooooo, if I’ve managed to convince any reader to join the website, please use this link because I want more smilies. Until the next time I blog!
