iTalkWhoa the Social Media Platform
Sep 1st
iTalkWhoa emerged early this year and was launched by TM to show their interest in social media combining a few online social media mediums at one single platform. Advertisements have been placed as well as promotions along with their existing brand iTalk which features cheap call rates to countries oversea.
So yea, here’s a short recap of the platform itself.
First of all, Emails are the basics for one to exist in the online world. iTalkWhoa allows all its registrant to actually combine a few emails together at one place and organize their emails there.
With that being said, you can also set PushMail Rules and get specific emails at your mobile phone so you can keep track of some specific emails and want to get updated as soon as possible.
Twitter was also included in the platform of course as it’s one of the rising social media tools in recent years and more and more Malaysians are using Twitter already. You can check the status updates as well as update your twitter account through iTalkWhoa.
Integrating iTalkWhoa with iTalk itself allows you to use the iTalk credits to send sms or make calls to your loved ones be it locally or internationally. It is meant for your convenience from your computer with just a few clicks.
There’s actually an iTalkWhoa promo rates that will be up till end of this year with cheap call rates to a few oversea countries. Check it out below!
Last but not least, how to get the iTalk credits to use on iTalkWhoa portal? Here’re some online payment method to get your hands on them. I guess that’s what TM is emphasizing then, to do everything online on a single platform itself.

Do you guys know about this? Are you all Malaysians aware of this?
I mean like hey Google is threatening our national security. We should ISA everyone in Google okay, TM should ban and filter anything that is related to Google, it’s humiliating. Our dear prime minister’s reputation is on stake now.
Do we still allow Google to mock us? Come on, bring up the 1 Malaysia spirit and boycott Google!!
WE should learn from China, the Chinese who don’t give a damn about Google!!
Oh wait we Chinese are pendatang…
Okay la cut the crap, all written above is crap and i’m a crappy person so yah oh back to this thing, it was actually brought up earlier today as i saw it on twitter whichiforgotwho already and it was spread rapidly which eventually leads to a topic being created at LowYat.net as well. Nobody have a single clue on why Google Search Engine came up with that suggestion but one thing i’m sure of..
Our BELOVED Prime Minister is a human. =X

If you are using iTalkWhoa for your email purposes, i’m sure you’ll know that you can actually put a few different email accounts at the portal be it Ymail, Gmail or Hotmail and etc.
Now that the Pushmail feature is available on iTalkWhoa. It enables you to forward selected new email to your mobile device automatically base on PushMail Rules which you can set yourself.
Say for example you want to get notifications on new emails containing certain keywords such as Manchester United, then you can set a PushMail rule for that purpose.
This actually helps if all the below conditions applies to you :
- You need to keep track of very Specific emails be it business/personal reasons
- You can’t be in front of the computer all the time

ShareNokia Ovi Flash Games Blogger Night
May 27th
Last Thursday, i was at Italiannies, The Gardens Mall Mid Valley for this session where Nokia just recently included some new flash games by Breakdesign in their Nokia Ovi Store.
In a small group, we were briefed on what is the game about where the user interface are quite user friendly. and seriously, the games were pretty addictive as well as i was hooked up to this specific game Ninjani playing several times trying to get higher scores then.
Anyways, one of the thing i get to know in the session is the score board for Nokia phone users who played the games downloaded on Ovi Store. By playing the games and submiting their scores online where it will determine a person’s ranking internationally or in a country itself.
Kel Li, Fiona, Nigel, Hsu Jen, David, Me
Good to hear that Nokia is doing a hardwork here in adding more applications/games into their Ovi Store. Too bad i do not own a Nokia Phone. =(
Oh by the way, the food served at Italiannies were Super Nice!!
