			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dang, this must be the longest I&#8217;ve gone without blogging since I reincarnated my blog. Apologies folks, for being quiet (and thanks for coming back every day to check up on me &#8211; if you did *heh*) but things have been crazy at work.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll talk about all of that tomorrow (although, if you have seen some teasers we splashed across The Star for the past few days, you might have an idea on what is going on).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: 2px solid black;" src="http://www.nikicheong.com/blog/images/bizstone.jpg" alt="Biz Stone at YES2009" /></p>
<p>In the mean time, I just wanted to share a video clip I took yesterday at the Youth Engagement Summit (YES2009) in Putrajaya where such spectacular speakers as Bob Geldof and <a title="Twitter: biz" href="http://www.twitter.com/biz" target="_blank">Biz Stone</a> were present. Actually, Biz wasn&#8217;t so spectacular but I really don&#8217;t want to go much into it because this would be the fifth time I&#8217;m writing about it.</p>
<p>First was <a title="All The World's A Twittering" href="http://blog.rage.com.my/all-the-worlds-a-twittering" target="_blank">this blog post</a> (on the new R.AGE blog, no less &#8211; part of what I will talk about tomorrow with regards to work), and then there was this <a title="Become the leader yourself" href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/11/17/nation/5126434&amp;sec=nation" target="_blank">news story</a>. Then there is the article coming out tomorrow in <a title="R.AGE Online" href="http://www.rage.com.my" target="_blank">R.AGE</a> (in StarTwo every Wednesday) and finally, another <a title="I got to meet @biz" href="http://blog.rage.com.my/i-got-to-meet-biz-stone-biz" target="_blank">blog post</a> to complement it.</p>
<p>Yes, I am tired of Biz Stone. Who would have thought?!</p>
<p>What I did want to share was my first ever YouTube upload &#8211; a video I took during the press conference using my new iPhone 3Gs *cough*. It was Biz&#8217;s response to the one question I got to ask him:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Let&#8217;s set the record straight: Is one a Twitterer or a Tweeter?</strong></p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is his reply:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/09p2lv7rdmM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/09p2lv7rdmM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I asked this because of course everyone has their own opinion. I also wanted to set the record straight on it, and to see if he has changed his mind since this New York Times <a title="To Tweet or Not To Tweet" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/opinion/22dowd.html" target="_blank">article</a> (where he did indeed say that he uses, &#8220;Twitterers&#8221;).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But from his response yesterday, he&#8217;s sold out *grin* and said that now, he uses them interchangeably although originally, he went with Twitterer. All because &#8220;people&#8221; wanted to use them they way the like. Like where&#8217;s your spine, man? LOL</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Meh &#8230; I&#8217;m a purist. I&#8217;ll stick to Twitterer (even if it is a few extra characters). Unless I get desperate for characters on Tweets.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I have more to share about the YES2009 but I think that would have to wait. In the mean time, I need to hit the sack.</p>
