1. Gain insights on lifestyle trends. “Favorite movies of my friends”, “Foods and restaurants liked by my friends”, “Games my friends play”, and “Apps my friends use”. You can find them all and more using Graph Search. Thus, it’s easier for you to know and try the sought after brands of your circle. Should you don’t have anything yet in mind to explore, try the link “Discover something new”, and it will automatically generate a sample search for you.
2. Look for establishments near you. If you’re craving for a specific cuisine, hunting for a perfect date place, or just searching for a hospital, mall, hotel, resort, any enterprise near you, the tool can be a good reference too. You can type “Restaurants near Makati” or maybe go for more specific like “American restaurants that Juan Dela Cruz liked”.
3. Discover more with photos. If you are to go on a vacation like for example in Palawan, Graph Search can be a great help in planning your itinerary. You can browse for “Photos taken in Puerto Princesa, Palawan of my friends”. Then, extend your search with options like “places the photos were taken” and “people who posted the photos”. Aside from places, you could also browse photos of foods, bands, celebrities and of course photos of you and your friends. More visual search results that let you explore more.
4. Locate people. Now, this part is awesome and a bit troublesome too. Graph Search lets you find people. Want to look for a person who shares same interests with you? Or someone who went to the same school and same company with you? Or maybe you’re looking for someone whose name is Particia, who is a friend of your friends, and is living in Makati? Yes! Search can be so thorough with the filters you can play with, which can make the tool effective too in stalking someone or in looking for a potential date. If it’s easy for you to find someone, it will also be easy for someone to find and bug you. It’s better to review the privacy setting of your account.
5. Have unpaid brand ambassadors for businesses. This indeed is a time when consumer can empower or injure your business. If many like your brand, check-in at your branch, or upload photos of your products, it increases the chance of being searched. Furthermore, because the actions are initiated by friends, it becomes more valued.

These are just some of what information you can look for using Facebook Graph Search. It’s amusing to use as it provides profound search results that are based on the interests and demographics of your friends. The outcomes it generates are different compared to those of search engines: more personal and warmer. Yet, like all good things can have their downside, it can open us to privacy risks. Hence, we better have to be responsible in maximizing its use and may we always be reminded of the limits of what we should share online.

At 1:45 P.M. today, it was also reported that Metro Manila was jolted with a 5.3 quake. Clearly, these are clear manifestations of crisis; and at this point it’s imperative for all of us to be ready and “armed” with the necessary stuff for survival.

We kept a list we gathered from Social media that would somehow help you:

• Cellphone with FULL BATTERY: You need to have this with a lot of battery juice! Go charge it now while you can! In this case, it is irrelevant if it’s an Android phone, an iPhone, a Nokia or whatever. What matters most now is that it functions as a phone and it can last a day or two.

• 3-in-1 Charging Kit with Backup Battery by Euroo. Yeah, call this product plugging but we found this gadget very useful! This is indeed the only charger you need! Popular gadgets from Apple, Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, HTC, etc are compatible on this device. Unfortunately, this cannot charge your iPad.

• List of Emergency Numbers:

• Lots and lots of dry clothes to keep you warm. You can even use them to save yourself when flash flood is imminent.

• Jugs filled with water to avoid dehydration. Food is okay but we can all survive for more than 5 days with potable water alone. You don’t want to drink flood water, right?

• List of Advance Command Centers in your area:

• Boots and Jacket: Don’t you dare “swim” and submerge yourself on flood water unless you really want to be contaminated with leptospirosis. And please keep warm by wearing a non-cotton jacket. Cotton-jacket will just make you heavier since it can easily get soaked with water. It can also protect you from other hazards like mosquito bites.

I really thought that it was really a great idea for them to have created Shopinas. Being one the country’s most reliable logistics service solutions providers, Air21 has indeed surpassed its competitors in creating innovative projects that will benefit its customers. Now, with Shopinas, Air21 will absolutely hit its attempt to put the Philippines into the forefront of the global e-commerce arena.

Creating your own online store is easy on Shopinas. For government law compliance and security purposes, all seller-registrants will have to provide their registered company name and TIN number. This registration tenet basically verifies that all sellers at Shopinas are legit, thereby adding confidence to buyers. As seller-registrants you have 4 plans to choose from – Basic, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

Watch out as Shopinas.com improves its website in the days to come! With the new and improved Shopinas, growing your business or looking for products online is just simply a click away!

And speaking of “clicking”, the PBA Team Air 21 Express has been renamed to Shopinas Clickers and will have their debut game on October 5 at 5:30 P.M.

The new game in the Call of Duty franchise indeed packs a lot of noteworthy improvements especially in the Multiplayer side. One of the numerous improvements is the gameplay environment. The latter looks more realistic, shows more minute details and almost lets you experience reality in the game.

The interface and HUD were made over – but do not totally deviate from the over-all design of Modern Warfare 2. Furthermore, character rendering and game physics in this game are still topnotch. Care packages dropped by a Chinook in the trailer looked even more dramatic compared to the former Call of Duty franchise.

Your favorite M16 and FAMAS are back along with the other primary and secondary weapons you liked in MW2. Spanking new weapons and kill streaks will also be available like the explosive tip crossbow and RC bomber below.

New game features will also be available on Black Ops like Kill Cam recorder/controller as shown in the trailer. It looks like this feature will enable gamers to record their kill cams, set preferred transitions and share among their Xbox Live friends. Now, isn’t that cool – a dream come true for braggers and I-did-something-new-today-ers.

Call of Duty: Black Ops will hit the stores in the Philippines on November 2010. Are you getting one? Hit the comments!

Here’s the trailer:
