Knowledge Generation Bureau

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

So, I saw this commercial for the “KGB”. It’s basically a company that has setup three services… A wiki like service, where you can go to their site and look up information via the web, a mobile service which you load a program on your smart phone and ask ANY question and it’s answered within 10 minutes (or it’s free), and a SMS text version similar to the mobile version.

Interesting business model but no one really cares, everyone wants to see the commercial, which is freaky. Unfortunately, you can’t use Google to find it, since it’s been spammed with squatters and trojan sites to try to steal traffic. I find it interesting that such a huge marketing campaign can’t get the top search slot on Google. Then again, I guess it’s competition…

Anyways, here’s the commercial:

Android (T-Mobile G1) Geocaching App

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Long time since a post, apologies all around. Work has been hectic. Implementing a CMS at an entire university is no small feat. Mission accomplished though!

So, now I FINALLY have a 3G T-Mobile smartphone!!! :D

I’ve used the T-Mobile G1 for afew months now, and I’m loving it.

And now, I’m totally hooked on Geocaching! Thanks to a free app on the Android Market called Geodroid.

I’m not sure what the developer’s name is, but his apps are by “Clinkybot”.

Lots of love to Clinkybot for developing this app! It’s the best (and, as far as I can tell, only) Geocaching software out for Android.

Go! Try it! Join the hunt!
