Ping.sg Blog

Ping.sg has been running an online contest for a budget airline operating in Singapore, Cebu Pacific. We have 10 pairs (total of 20) tickets to Avatar movie* to be given away!

There are 2 parts to the contest, online quiz and lucky retweets. Each week we will be announcing 2 lucky winners for lucky retweets. Each winners will be receiving a pair of movie tickets each.

We have randomly selected the winners for last week, they are:
@kiroshiivan and @jjtomi

Congratulations!

If you haven’t yet heard of the contest, there are still plenty of time for you to check it out. Contest will run until 31 Dec 2009. You might just win yourself a pair of movie tickets next week!

(*Tickets can be exchanged for other movies if you have caught Avatar)

Ping.sg is going to be offline from Nov 22, 2009 2:00 AM SGT for an urgent maintenance — major upgrading of Ping.sg core.

Scheduled downtime is to be around 2 hours.

Things have been pretty slow over at the development of Ping.sg the last few months, we admit.

We have had quite a few of changes line up that we would like to roll out in that period but we weren’t able to deliver them on time due to several reasons.

Come 2009, things will be different we promise. There will be a lot of interesting changes lining up and they will be rolling in right from January onwards. Our focus for 2009 would be the following:

• enhancing the bloggers’ experience of using the platform.
• improving the usability of the platform.
• introducing new methods and/or improving current methods of organizing and making sense of the bulk of interesting blog posts that Ping.sg is receiving by the minute.
• increasing the reach of Ping.sg by introducing more values to the bloggers and active and passive platform users
• and a ton of other interesting changes.

Heck, why wait till 2009. To show that we are serious about it, we will be rolling out some changes before the end of the year. Do stay tuned for your christmas presents.

In the mean time, keep rocking Ping.sg!
