How to Sell a Pen to Kids these days
We have seen companies offering iPod cases and phone covers and even laptop stickers that allow the buyer to customize their stuff.
Last visit to a stationary store, I found this German pen company offering a customizable pen.
The lid has a see thru panel, where the kids can slide in paper with their own design.
There is also a website where the kids can play with graphics, come up with they design they like and print it.
Interesting idea isn’t it? .. to sell a product as simple as pen with so many competitors around.
Most online systems used by students don’t even allow them to have user defined themes.

Localised and Regional Facebook Apps
I might be doing this short presentation on Localized/Regional Facebook applications. I am interested in applications that people are developing targeting users in a particular city or region or user group. If you know of any let me know in the comments. Beer/Lunch on me when you pass by South East Asia.
