Update here: Why Did I Follow Lola Techie Again?
I used to be a fan of Lola Techie on her Plurk right after the Bayantel ad has aired on ABS-CBN shows. I was pretty sure that time it was purely promotional and the grandmother figure is just a fiction. Yet, I still decided to follow her at least in Plurk to feel how good the portrayer is in building the Lola Techie character.

Her first pokes are enjoyable. The same bitter-lola comic was still there while she’s keep on bashing her used-to-be-favorite grandson, JR. But the next plurks become boring as she keeps on asking what’s on our lunch or dinner (so her new grandsons and granddaughters would replurk back) and her continuous segue on ABS-CBN shows. I really don’t need ‘em because I really do watch ‘em.

More reasons why I unfollowed her -

• I’m getting tired of muting her plurks when her new grandsons and granddaughters are still on the hype. Lola Techie is receiving 50 replies at average.
• She’s taking Facebook quizzes and applications and posting it on plurk! I’m keeping those type of statuses away from my news feed. And there you go! She’s now spamming my Plurk.
• The trend is that she might have her own blogger event! Knowing her followers are mostly Pinoy bloggers.
• And since Lola Techie is an imagination, I hope her creator should have been packaging her into more techie person. The reason I enjoyed Inday, ang Sosyal na Katulong, is that she and her manager are successful in leaving the audience with their nose bleeding. It should have been more Lola Techie if she had plurked that she’s able to secure a wireless router, to remove a virus from a computer, to use the Konami code and some other geeks stuff. Sana nilubos-lubos na nila.

Yet, I wish I can meet the superstar in person. Maybe in Coffee Bean, while she’s wirelessly surfing. But it might not happen. The diva is into wired DSL connection.

P.S.

Lola Techie,

Please add me in your mafia.

Your prodigal grandson,
Don Nazty.

Out of curiosity, I took the Analyze My Friends application in Facebook to view my own results. The output of yet-another-one-hit-wonder application is a list of your 5 closest friends based on an algorithm which I am about to deduce.

I got a premise from a friend that the analysis comes from the tally of friends tagged in one’s albums and the corresponding frequencies. And based on my result, it seems that’s the main contributing factor. 3 of the results popped out because of this certain album that all of us were present. And that album contains a lot of pictures.

Convinced?

Oh well, if I’m going to rewrite this program, the scores would be also based on

1. Friends tagged in the Notes which are usually meme and tag games. One usually includes the closest friends in these posts.
2. Wall-to-wall post – the friends whose wall is frequently written by me and the friends who frequently post on my wall.
3. Comments. Same mechanism as wall posts

Application Rating: 0.5 out of 5.

And yes, this shoulda woulda Artificial Intelligence thing.
