It is a known fact that Singapore is a modernised country but a recent article in My Paper proved that Singapore is also going big on online communications especially amongst the youth. Three in five said they had blogged or read another blogger's post in the past month. It turned out that youngsters are capable of multi-tasking while online, like engaging in instant messaging and listening to music at the same time. A young entrepreneur, Ian Lim (picture, right) has found a new online communication tool, 'vlogCRUSH' - A home-grown interactive video blogging website. In other words, a new platform to the communications arena. Mr Lim has plans to license the platform to local telcos and media companies for a start. The online communications has become an important tool for not only the younger generation but even for the slightly mature group. In a survey conducted recently, it was noted that more people aged above 35 are blogging these days. They are equally involved in online communications such as Facebook and Twitter. Personally, it is about time they get themselves involved in online communications, otherwise, they won't be able to interact and connect actively with the younger generation or their own children for that matter.
