Some Notable Facts About the MODU... The Modu phone features a dynamic user interface and a unique seven-key keypad, and it only weighs 1.5 ounces (It’s actually recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s lightest fully-functional phone). The Modu comes with jackets (fashionable phone enclosures that you can slide on to give the phone a full keypad). These let you customize the look and features of your Modu. The Modu phone is triband, has a mass storage device with 2GB internal flash memory (available memory for user is 1.6GB) and supports Bluetooth connectivity. The Modu phone is available for as low as P7,999 via Globe Tattoo prepaid kit… but since I’m trying to save up for my twins, I’m joining their promo…

Gloo is a virtual page where you can post notes, doodle, create a to-do list, and put pictures and videos directly from your Facebook account, and the web. Once you’ve invited your family and friends to your space, they can view, create and change your space elements in real time so technically, it is like a collaborative sketchpad. Above is a screenshot of my Gloo space. I was using it much like a social network page before as I shared my daughter’s pictures and videos to my friends. However, after I’ve invited my sister and my brother to my page, it assumed a new function – that of a family bulletin board. My sister posted her assignment in algebra and while I was answering the math questions, my brother took the chance to post his special requests. It almost felt like we’re just inches apart.

Just tried out Gloo , one of the most recent offers from Globe Broadband . It’s a revolutionary collaboration site where you, your family and friends can interact through ‘virtual spaces’ in real time. Creating an account is totally free - all you’ll need is a valid email address. You can sign up and create your online “scrapbook” space regardless of your ISP. Once you sign up, you can then start working on your own space. This space is like a virtual scrapbook where you can post notes, doodle, create a to-do list, and post pictures and videos directly from your Facebook account, and the web. What’s good about Gloo is that other users can view, play, or change your space elements in real time. It’s like having a virtual sketchpad where family and friends can interact and bond with each other even when they’re miles apart. My Experience I had a good time collaborating pictures and videos of my daughter. The doodling is added fun for people who love drawing and painting. I’ve already in...
