Hey Mate, nice to see ya there!

I am pretty excited today, but it is not only because of the long weekend coming up or because I finally got an SSD (Solid State Drive) upgrade on my desktop, but that it is because I found a comrade in arm, well... sort of. Well, I was doing some sort of Googling, Binging, or Yahooing the last couple of days while the couples were celebrating Valentine's day, or people like me, who were celebrating Single Awareness Day.... (a.k.a. Sad), and I found
Fernando Rivera
, and that made my day!

You have to agree that after a long search and looking through several uninteresting tags/blogs, finding a nice match is actually really rewarding! So Sad that I did not find this "nice match" on Valentine's day... Oh, well...

Now, back to the topic.

When I searched for like acta, google, microsoft, I do see related topics come up in the search results, but when I click onto the user who tagged them, I also see some tags like "receipt" or "traffic" on the same list. However, not Mr..Rivera's profile.

His list of tags, just to name a few, are like G+, cocos2d (Apple's framework), iPhone, Android, Google...and the list goes on! Simply by just looking at his tags, I know that he is somewhat technical, or at least have a strong interest in the mobile industry. Well, like most people in this field, I guess we are not the best organizers in the world nor are we good at keeping things in order. The tags are ordered quite loosely all over the place and most of them are left without comments. It is kind of interesting to see this because Fernando sets his tags to be public, a sign that he wants to share and communicate with the community, yet at the same time doesn't put any comments at all.

To be honest though, it is pretty easy to tell a person's favorite/trend through the tags that he made, but not the voice. Fernando's tags were all pretty useful information regarding the Apps on iPhone, framework, and other mobile devices or games. Like in this tag of cocos2d, I found a complete guide of iOS5 and also a pretty interesting developer's forum that I would never have StumbleUpon myself (pun intended). Or this, a history of the development search algorithm of Google in the past few years, in simple form (as in English instead of code!). These posts and tags are all well-intended for either a developer or a general public, but not for both. I found all his links very informative, yet at the same time, not in depth or in broad at all. It seems that he just tags whatever links or interesting sites that he StumbleUpon on the way, hoping to return one day to organize it?

I am trying to blog for a general audience here, and his's tags, while most of them are very informative, is too scattered and lack a focus. I would recommend checking his sites/tags out if you are interested in computer, coding, or simply want a taste of this "world". His topics are so general and broad that you would be able to see different issues, some in depth and some introductory level, and find your favorite.
