I am constantly amazed at how many creative people are out there in the Twitter-verse, especially here in Indonesia -- or what I call the Tw-Indo-verse. My latest discovery is digitalgrafis studio (picture above), who contacted me after I did a call-out for web designers to help us redesign HAKItree.
This got me thinking. As part of HAKItree's redesign, Rouse Indonesia would like to put together a directory of creative people here in Indonesia, which we will host on HAKItree.
If you would like to participate, send me an email to
this address with the subject line "CREATIF" and I will add you to our little project.
Dodit and I will put together a template questionnaire and send it to everyone who wants to participate.
What qualifies as 'creative'? That's a good question. It is a very vague concept. If you are not sure, but would like to participate, send us an email anyway and we can think about having a second directory.
Please spread the word.

Has anyone else been added to the RT (re-tweet) beta trial? The screenshot above explains how it works. It all sounds pretty good, but I'm not sure how useful it is going to be. Very few of people I follow re-tweet without adding something -- even if it's only setujuh! or ROFLMAO. My guess is that the new RT function won't work here.
To top it off, a quick scan of my timeline reveals that RTs make up only a very small number of the tweets that appear in my time-line. In the last 31 minutes there are only two -- and only one which is a "true" re-tweet (i.e. without an extra comment). Come to think of it, the only "true" re-tweets I can remember seeing are re-tweets of my own blog links (thanks guys!).
What do you think? Useful, interesting, nggak?

The heavens just unleashed one hell of a torrent. It looks like the wet season is upon us. It's fun watching the motorcyclists who don't realise that engines don't work underwater.

I have decided to have a go at Twitter Lists, using the suggestions I blogged about yesterday. So far I have come up with these:
- Entrepreneurs -- the movers and shakers in the Web 2.0 universe
- Rouse people -- as the name suggests, people who work for Rouse and Suryomurcito & Co
- HAKItree people -- the hard working people at HAKItree
- Intriguing people -- the people that I find interesting, for one reason or another (usually it's because they talk to me)
- Cool brands -- this includes products that I use and like (apart from the big brands like Apple, Microsoft, etc)
- Helpful people -- people that are generous with their tweets
It will take me a day or so to populate all these lists. At the moment, most of them are empty, but if you are interested, please keep checking back.
Please don't be offended if I haven't included you on any of my lists. I am using my recent timeline to add people to lists, so those people who have tweeted recently are more likely to end up on a list.
Also, I would call myself an 'active follower', which means I follow people because I think they are intriguing, helpful or cool. The lists are my attempt at getting a bit more focused, and to help other people who might be looking for like-minded Tweeters.
