I first heard about Carmina Topacio when listening to one of my favorite Radio program in AM radio, sidewalk 1512.

Sidewalk 1512’s main topic is about business and economics but because the program’s host is a music lover, a smattering of music topics and music itself is played form time to time. The program’s host is no other than Thads Bentulan, popularly known as the Street Strategist, author, and original thinker of the controversial hyper-wage theory as well as other society shaking original ideas.

I’ve stumbled across a great resource in the internet known as the Family Watch Dog. The Family Watch dog is a website that allows you to see for free, if a person is an RSO (If you want to know what an RSO means check out the website, I couldn’t place it here because google will block my ads if a say the “S” word, saying the “S” word is bad says the google bot hehehehe) This means that said person has been convicted of “S” offenses.

I was going with my wife who was escorting her class at Southwestern University Social work department for a field trip.

Honestly I feel a pity for friendster. They were the ones who sort of “invented” social networking, and look where they are now. I am sure the owner and investors of friendster wished they sold the company to Google way years ago when a $30 million dollar offer was still on the table.
