New product launch (TinkrRoulette)

Jon — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 01:40:55 +0000

We have recently just launched a separate product which can be accessed at http://www.tinkrroulette.com/

TinkrRoulette is a game of roulettle where every spin of the roulette gives the visitor entertainment from 4 random funny videos. We have a jackpot system too, that in the case your spin results in 4 videos from the same source, say, all 4 videos from youtube, or all 4 from myspace, you hit the jackpot!

All the videos generated in TinkrRoulette are dynamically retrieved from our main site. If you are curious how we do it, check both sites out

The Secret to Passing Exams

bryan — Mon, 31 May 2010 14:24:06 +0000

“Visualization is success”, I have to tell her this almost every day. My girlfriend, honey, darling, baby, dearie, shawty, boo, is scheduled for her ACCA exams in mid-June and I can imagine the amount of stress she’s getting… from the last minute studying.

After giving her loads of advice on how I used to study and ace my grades, I even made her sit through “The Secret” with me. The law of attraction; make those grades come to you! Visualization is success!

The “Law of Attraction” principle posits that feelings and thoughts can attract events, from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs. [Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_(2006_film)#Synopsis]

I first learnt about “The Secret” in 2006; Donovan, the guy who opened me up to entrepreneurship had told me about it. I watched the video and it opened my mind a little. In 2006, I was already doing well in my books, and was I always visualizing my success? Yes. I always looked forward to getting ‘A+’s in everything. And well, it always helped to aim high, even if I miss my mark, it was always at least a ‘B+’. The law of attraction? Yea, I’d say it works for me.

Had a pleasant surprise when I was searching YouTube for videos on “The Secret”; it seems that the makers of “The Secret” actually released 3 short videos for daily inspiration.

Planet Earth – Beautiful music with a feature on planet earth set for the audience to feel the earth and be one with earth energy.
The Secret to You – The video to start each day with; this is used as a visualization tool for everyday success and the induction of good feelings.
The Secret to Riches – Read every word and focus your energy and feelings to magnetize the abundance in your life. The abundance in monetary wealth, that is.

I’ve chunked all the videos in a Tinkrbox link[http://www.tinkrbox.com/box.jsp?b=TnGHupfTpTER] for my girl’s daily inspiration to watch anytime. She’s probably studying as I’m completing this post. Hope she can harness the power of “The Secret” and do well for her exams.

Videos from YouTube, Hulu and Dailymotion in one playlist?

bryan — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:23:12 +0000

So you’ve got your nicely sorted video playlist on YouTube, Tudou, MTVMusic, Veoh, Hulu, and Dailymotion. Some of your favorite Taylor Swift videos in the YouTube playlist, some on the MTV Music playlist, and maybe some on the Dailymotion playlist; wouldn’t it be better to have them all in one playlist? Sure, some videos are restricted to Hulu, some uploaded only on YouTube, but what if we can put them all together, and in fact, be able to view the videos from all the different websites right in your playlist?

If you’ve been following on what Tinkrbox is about, you’d know that putting videos from different websites together and playing them right in the playlist is easier done that said. Yes, easier done than said.

Here’s the immediate sample of videos from 22 of the internet’s most popular video sites in 1 universal playlist.

my love hate relationship with Tinkrbox

bryan — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 03:51:25 +0000

Hey all, for those that do not know me yet; I’m Bryan, the guy who talks marketing in Tinkrbox.

Tinkrbox is founded in 2009 by 2 good friends of mine, Jonathan and Victor, and in January 2010, I joined them in this ride of a lifetime. From the early concept till today, I’ve seen Tinkrbox through every phase and you wouldn’t want to know what it used to look like. LOL.

So, what do I love about Tinkrbox?

1) The makers (We can laugh about anything and everything, we are happy people.)

2) I use Tinkrbox to save my internet favorites. As my list of internet favorites grow, I still can get a good overview of what I’ve saved. Tinkrbox shows a screenshot of the site and for supported services; I can view the content right in Tinkrbox. I used to forget what I saved in Firefox, now I can see what I’ve saved. This saves me the trouble of housekeeping outdated links as well.

3) I use Tinkrbox to view multiple videos concurrently. No, I’m not crazy. I was doing a quick comparison on which phone to stick with for the next 2 years; it’s a big decision. How’s what I did: (i) search for comparison videos on youtube (ii) add the relevant video links to Tinkrbox (iii) watch 2-3 videos at the same time, concentrate only on the important parts of each video. And there, I went through almost an hour or so of video content in only 15 minutes. Oh, I got an iPhone eventually. Why? See the Nexus One vs iPhone comparison in my Tinkrbox http://www.tinkrbox.com/tb/box.jsp?b=U0zTJ5NY88Xj

4) One more thing, it’s easy to share content with Tinkrbox. Noticed the Tinkrbox link I posted above? One link to share all videos.

5) And lastly, most importantly… it’s easy to save something to Tinkrbox. There’s a bookmarklet. One click saving right from the internet browser. That’s convenient!

So how can I even hate Tinkrbox?

1) Jonathan (CEO and good friend) sent me screenshots from our upcoming web design revamp… it’s duper cool… but it’s launching only in May! That’s almost 2 months away! I hate to wait! Would you want to wait 2 months when you’ve already seen the delicious food on the plate?

2) Upcoming Feature – Latest happening section – see live updates of what is happening in Tinkrbox at the very moment! Look out, Jonathan might post another chick video box (HOT CHICKS in Black & White films)

3) Upcoming Feature – Commenting on boxes – I got so many wicked things to say…

4) Upcoming Feature – Embedding of my favorite boxes in any website! Have your own blog or website? Simply use the Tinkrbox widget to embed your favorite boxes!

The upcoming features are all WIP for launch by mid-2010 and there’s more… but Jonathan is asking me not to reveal too much.With all the great things about Tinkrbox and even more greatness coming along, I foresee bigger prospects for Tinkrbox, I also see myself getting busier and busier. So should I hate or love Tinkrbox? @_@

Anyways, feel free to leave your note and chat with me. I’m friendly. Cheers!

Bryan.
