Although more and more people use private messaging or instant messaging on social networks these days, it is not a surprise that email is STILL the most popular channel for sharing information online.
A recent research conducted by SocialTwist (creator of the social media sharing widget Tell-a-Friend) shows that Yahoo Mail is still the big winner in online sharing with 26%, followed by MSN, Gmail and Facebook are way behind.

Now I’m wondering the definition of “sharing” in this research, because I believe that Facebook would do better than 11% if all the private messages, status updates, online gifts and apps are considered “sharing” in the report.

Do you think Facebook, Gmail, Googlewave, or even twitter will beat Yahoo Mail in the close future? (Now I wish I could use Googlewave’s Yes, No Maybe widget on here).

I always have things to share online, so much information gets at me each and every day, but sometimes things are just too small or too personal for this blog, and too big for a tweet. Other than that, I just got an iPhone 3Gs and I just have too much data usage to spare.

So finally, I decided to create a posterous blog (blog that can be easily updated with mobile device), which will hopefully give me a chance to share more with you.

On “Tim Ho’s Monkey“, I will share a bit of what I do in my personal life, social life, smaller findings on social media, social media events/ meetings information, or even music, videos, who knows? Tim Ho’s Monkey is just everything about me.

I think most of you have already registered for Google Wave, but I have nothing else to offer unless @dda wants to sponsor me wine to give away
If you/ your friend still need Googlewave invites, all you have to do is to be the first 15 people to tweet this:

“Ogilvy Digital Strategist @timho just launched a new personal blog! http://monkey.tim-ho.com #mthgw”

If you are my friend and just like this idea, you can tweet the same without hashtag.
Look forward to getting more postings up!
