My Facebook Movie

Ever thought of making a movie? Nope? Not even a slideshow of pictures accompanied by your favourite song.....? Well I suppose most of us would be too lazy to put our PowerPoint or amateur movie making skills to good use unless it was for a specific purpose.

If you fall into the above category, you might want to give the Facebook Timeline Movie Maker a try. This nifty app was created by Marketing Agency Definition 6 and Facebook. The app will scan your entire Facebook life and pull out random photos, videos and stuff posted to your profile to create a short history of your Facebook life.

Quick and Easy

Just log into your Facebook account and type "Timeline Movie Maker" in the search function. Oh and this app only works if the Timeline feature on your profile has been activated.

This page will appear, click the green button. The app will ask permission to access data from your profile. Your movie will be ready in a jiffy. However in order for your movie to be made, you will need to have at least 50 photos on your profile which have been shared with "friends".


Once your information and photos has been processed, the page will look like this. The app will not immediately post the video to your profile, you share it only if you want to.


The Cons.....

As cool as this app is, the bummer is that you can't download the video or post it anywhere else besides Facebook. Which is why all I can share with you is the above image and not the link to my video.

From what I read about this app, the user can remake the video by choosing the images they want, however I found that this was rather difficult to do. Also the app picks too many photos from one album instead of randomly selecting from different albums. As such I felt my video lacked variety in terms of the images chosen.

Well maybe a more refined version will be available in the future. Overall I'm sure all those who use it will agree that it's kinda fun to summarise your entire Facebook experience and share it with friends.

"Seksualiti" Will Survive

The other day my mum who was reading news alerts on her mobile asked me, "Hei have you heard about this festival - ' Seksualiti Merdeka '......?" And I was like: "Seksualiti what....??" Then I promptly googled it and oh then I knew! My first reaction? I was mighty impressed that we actually have such a festival here and wondered how come I never knew about it before this. I'm sure a lot of you out there are hearing about Seksualiti Merdeka for the first time too. But imagine this guys, if the powers that be didn't go all frothy at the mouth and decide to ban it, would the majority of us even know about this annual sexuality rights festival that has been around since 2008? Now not only city folks know all about Seksualiti Merdeka, even those in Baling......where is that again? Are up in arms about this event which they fear will encourage more gayness in society......well people will always delude themselves silly if they want to. So what

Travel Tales: The grandeur of Russia

Visit iconic monuments and see treasures from the past in one of Europe’s oldest cities Night view of the famed St Basil's Cathedral. FOR all its great political and social upheavals which have given rise to many a good movie script, the largest country on earth has never quite popped up on glossy tourist brochures boasting a “bucket list” of must-see architectural wonders like the Eiffel Tower or the iconic Taj Mahal. Neither does it beckon with the promise of breathtaking natural scenery and beautiful landscapes. Before the invitation for this media familiarisation trip came along, my impression of Russia and Moscow in particular was of a city still dominated by grey Soviet-era apartment blocks and sombre locals. However, when I received the itinerary for the trip to Moscow and St Petersburg organised by Trafalgar, another version of Russia began to emerge, that of a country steeped in culture and art, with many well-preserved heritage buildings.

Heritage trail: The beauty of St Petersburg

The Winter Palace. THE  city of St. Petersburg was founded by Peter the Great, who aspired to create a city that would rival the great cultural capitals of Europe. Built on the banks of the Neva river, St. Petersburg stretches across 42 islands with natural waterways and canals, giving it the title of the ‘Venice of the North’. It was the imperial capital of Russia for two centuries until the Communist revolution of 1917. To this day, it retains its status as the country’s cultural capital with its heritage buildings, grand palaces, cathedrals and museums. Exploring St. Petersburg Considering that I only had three days to explore the city after arriving by bullet train from Moscow, I was glad to find that the Park Inn Nevsky, my home for the next few nights, was located on Nevsky Prospekt, St. Petersburg’s main street. What you will find along this street are plenty of places to shop and eat, like the Eliseyev Emporium Coffee shop, the Gostiny Dvor shopping centre, loc
