Not many people saw it coming, but it was probably the most logical move for Google to make. They’ve been trying very hard for the past few years to succeed in the attractive yet ultra competitive social networking environment…. and all their previous attempts (Orkut, FriendConnect, flirts with Facebook, twitter…) never got them anywhere.

Obama: a President or a Brand?

      From time to time we post some valuable on-line jewels. Oki-ni should become your next one-stop shop for “individual & unique” whims if you’re a man (although not necessarily…). Carefully selected, beautifully presented….

      We’ve heard so many times this one. We even have it as our mobile ringtone! Unfortunately this video directed by Trevor Jackson is quite deceiving to be honest…. so many months for this? We guess is kind of matching Matias Aguayo’s continuous samplified sounds.
