In a bid to capitalise on the social networking phenomenon, UsDudes will be launching a new social networking site called Passbook.
As there’s currently a glut in the market for such sites, it follows that a new site should fill a gap that other sites have thus far been unable to. Thus not only will Passbook.com allow you to keep in touch with your friends by sharing your email and snail mail addresses, IM nicks or even your taste in movies, it will also allow your friends to trace your banking habits.
Never again will your friends have to wonder what banks you have accounts with, what your account numbers are or what your ATM card passwords are. All this information will be available at the click of a button. Need to know who among your friends has the most money in the bank? The Top Earning Friends application will take care of that! A wide variety of other applications will allow you to share everything from online transactions to NETS purchases to ATM withdrawals with your closest friends. Your friend is down to his last dollar in his savings account? Send him a hug to show that you care.
Passbook.com. The future of social networking.

Part of a belated set of photos spanning the second half of 2007. This is from the UsDudes organised barbecue from July 2007. Probably the best organised of these irregular things to date. I got the drinks I had left over from an old TigaPe event a few months back, and some disposable utensils I’d come across while doing my ICT. We got the food and other supplies from the fine people at BBQ Wholesale, which is halal certified, has almost everything you might need for a barbecue and they deliver as well.
Not as many people turned out as we’d hoped, but keeping things intimate meant it was well, more intimate. We still got visits from overseas Dude Raizan, and rare sightings of old Temasek-era comrades Rahman and Hidayat. Birthday cake for myself courtesy of Winda (thank you very much), and while it wasn’t far removed from a regular Saturday night hangout it was still fun.
Being apparently the only person who still has a portable stereo I was elected to provide the music. Unfortunately 6 C batteries don’t come cheap. Fortunately through an act of complete serendipity Azmi and I found super cheap C batteries. Naturally they didn’t have a lot of juice, but it played the radio for about four hours or so just fine. Trying to play a CD we immediately saw the “low batt” light flashing.
Apologies for the lack of photos. My camera had already died by this point and I had borrowed my dad’s camera which is pretty ancient itself and which I wasn’t terribly comfortable using.
Lots of helicopter flybys throughout the evening due to National Day Parade rehearsals being held at Marina Bay many miles away, but I can always imagine the flags were big banners saying “Happy Birthday Samurai Zack”.
