In an effort to become a better blogger, I’ve recently been studying the different types of readers that visit Bit Rebels. One thing that I’ve learned, which I find fascinating, is that there are basically three different kinds of readers who visit our blog and your blog. As a blogger, it is important to understand [...]

Twitter is a great community. I have been very active on the social networking site since December 2008, and I can attest to the power of a tweet. There are so many things shared on Twitter including information, inspiration, testimonials, laughter and even virtual hugs. Another big thing that people share is music. People share [...]

As most of you know, our beloved @paul_steele is famous on Twitter for his hiking and tweeting. He tweets the most incredible pictures from the tops of mountains and across huge grassy landscapes where he journeys during the week. After spending 16 years in the army, Paul now enjoys his two loves, hiking and Twitter. [...]

Guys, have you ever wondered what women carry in their handbags? I admit, it’s kinda strange that we carry around a sack full of stuff wherever we go, but what exactly is it all? This is the shortest answer I can think of: We carry our life in our bag. A few minutes ago, I [...]

FaceBook is so popular that everyone has an account, or if you aren’t on FaceBook yet, I am sure some of your family or friends have probably encouraged you to get an account. I don’t blame them, it is a wonderful site to connect with your friends and family who are living far away from [...]

Respect is one of those things that everyone wants, but few people get, especially in social media. On Twitter, it can be overwhelming at times to try and stand out in the crowd of never ending tweets. I opened my Twitter account in March of 2009. I have sent over 35,000 tweets since then, and [...]

It is always a treat to see people greeting you via your wall on FaceBook or your stream on Twitter. I got tons of birthday greetings today, it totally blew me away, and I feel really happy knowing that people remembered my birthday. I was skyping with my very dear friend @adamsconsulting and I told [...]

In case you’ve been living under a rock and you somehow missed the whole Chatroulette craze, don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. From the beginning that site was associated with the kind of people you would only expect to see at the DMV. To celebrate Chatroulette being gone combined with the movie The Last Exorcism, [...]

I’ve written so many tattoo articles that when I saw this, I knew we had to add it to our collection. Now we don’t have to just contemplate getting a tattoo, we can also consider a dattoo. A dattoo is a DNA tattoo. Yeah, I know, it sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? In theory, a dattoo [...]

Twitter is still growing, I have noticed that I’ve been gaining followers by the hundreds each day. However, there are also those who join and then drop out at some point in time. Some I know have stopped using Twitter because when they were learning how to use the social site, they felt overwhelmed and [...]

Ya know how sometimes you get in the mood to write about those things in life that really don’t matter to anyone? Yeah… that’s the kind of mood I’m in so here goes. We all know by now that two days ago Lada Gaga overtook Britney Spears and became the person on Twitter with the [...]

Ever since I can remember, all I ever wanted to do was to draw and create characters. I even took up fine arts so I could live my dream. However, due to some circumstances in my life, I have been somehow forced to take a different direction. I’m not saying this direction was bad, it [...]

Recently I was fortunate enough to attend the Internet and Mobile Marketing Association of the Philippines Summit. I am truly glad that the management in our office believes in arming people with information relevant in our field. Not all offices are like that. I have seen some tweets where people wanted to attend, but couldn’t. [...]

I always try to make sure that whenever I read anything negative or hear a negative word spoken to me or to someone I know, I look inwardly and take a deep breath.  Do I counter the negativity, or do I just try to remain positive?  I always try to remain positive, but it is [...]

Social gaming is fun. You can play so many games now on FaceBook. You can be a farmer, a waiter, a chef, or even a restaurant manager. You can even be a real estate mogul or an interior designer. Yo Ville, Farmville, Restaurant City and Hotel City are just some of the games that allow [...]

Do you want to know your market and how they think and what they prefer? Big brands and companies rely on surveys and polls to determine what their target market’s opinion is on their respective products or services. They usually ask questions and give several answer options to their respondents. They usually hire research groups [...]

I cannot stop laughing over this. I can soooo relate to this girl. When I was attending University, I didn’t want to get a student loan because I don’t like owing people money. So, instead, I worked three jobs at the same time to pay my way through school. I worked one job all night [...]

Do you like watching videos? Do you often watch YouTube videos that are in batches? It can be a drag sometimes when you need to watch them one video at a time. What if there was an application that would allow you to simply look for the videos you want to watch, drag and drop [...]

The social networking arena has seen many casualties during its continued run towards world domination. There have been several social networking ideas and brands that have become daily necessities to say the least. We’re using these services like our life depended on it, and it gives little room for anything else other than… well… connecting [...]

Social networking sites are changing so fast. In as little as a matter of weeks, dramatic changes can take place. Even if you have the best intentions, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the pace. Avid Internet users are known for having short attention spans, so each one of these sites has to work [...]
