Page Squatting
Page squatting or Cyber Squatting also with sellable ads for sale are becoming popular in FaceBook and Twitter.

International web site accessibility
Some countries restrict access to popular web sites. Knowing in advance will save you embarrassment and save you time.

Organisations are vulnerable to ID and Brand theft
The increase in social media use also means an increase in your organisation name and brands being registered by others including your competition leaving you without a Social Media ID.

Social Networks and Māori
I finally succumbed to perpetual requests from family and close friends to create a Bebo.com account. We know that Hi5.com is preferred by Thai’s and Orkut by South Americans, FaceBook.com and MySpace.com by a good international mixture. An observation that most intrigues me is that Bebo.com is, as is documented fact more for the younger generations (Gen M etc).…

Māori representation on ICT boards
I have just heard Ernie Newman CEO of TUANZ speak at a Māori ICT conference (of which ironically we had no wireless Internet connection and cell phones were banned). Ernie expressed his vision for Māori and how Māori are creative and should participate more in ICT. Ernie was asked what TUANZ had done for Māori…

Asian Emoticons
As a result of networking and making new friends from the Thailand conference, i have had to learn about Asia emoticons. Here is a list of what i have learnt so far. I am interested in any new additions and corrections ^_^ . I am now curious as to what the graphical representation looks like…

1O Year Predictions and Vision for Māori in ICT
After almost a decade after being interviewed by Ariana Tikao on my 10 year vision of Māori and ICT, I have written a new one and welcome any feedback and critiques. 1. Localisation partnerships As a result of many non English speaking countries beginning to demand that they be able to use their own language…

Google Māori launches
Google Māori is accessed via the google.co.nz page. Alas, do I note that there are still macrons missing on the word “Māori”. It is refreshing to see it finally go live after the several years it took to get there. One important thing i have noticed that nobody has mentioned, is that there is still…

Google Māori
This morning i was informed that the Google Māori translation project is beginning to be rolled out and available at http://www.google.com/intl/mi/ . This site is still in English at the time of writing. So i imagine there is a roll out plan as with any newly developed system. There is also a small (up to…

Pitcairn Islands worlds worst spammers
I would label this humor if the results were not published in an industry publication. SOPOHS a well known Anti Virus vendor published a scathing report about the Pacific Islands, namely Pitcairn Islands being the worst offending country in the world to relay spam. If we briefly analyse Pitcairn Islands. There are 50 inhabitants from…

Maori hacker?
With some amusement i read the NZ herald article that claimed one of the so called Maori terrorists (whom may i add is not charged under the Terrorism Act) was known as “Bl@ckmask”, and he/she hacked the National Party web site. First of all, i wonder how an audio device can ascertain between an “a”…

So called online Activists
As i write, I am aware of name suppression and not identifying the arrested. When the so called Māori terrorists were arrested, a popular Māori web site was shut down by the NZ Police. The site had hundreds of members and regular visitors whom visited to catch up with family, seek IT advice or even…

Māori not so advanced with technology
I had the pleasure of having coffee with the chair of the Vanuatu Internet Society and executive member of the Pacific Islands Internet Society in Christchurch yesterday, at a cafe over looking Sumner beach and the estuary. During our hour long coffee, and hearing what Vanuatu and other Pacific Islands are doing to increase their…

Google in Māori
With great disbelief and frustration, I read the following article ;objectid=10453254) which also appears on Stuff about a husband and wife team whom have either mislead the NZ Herald reporter or whom have been miss interpreted by the NZ Herald reporter. Anyone in the world can and has been doing for several years, register at…
