I am sorry but usually I am all for games online that girls love but this one is just crazy! What is the name of the site you may ask? It is called MISS BIMBO! (NOT BIM BOH) but BIM BO. Guess what over 200000 registered users ages 9-16! Well, here is how it works.

Miss Bimbo, is described by its creator who happens to be a French entrepreneur as a fashion game. The site current attracts children as young as 9 years old.

It encourages children to join its site to create a virtual doll, monitor its diet and weight and buy it breast implants and face lifts. What kind of a world are we living in you may ask? Well there is more, the kids sign up for free and the automatically receive 1000 dollars to buy clothing and of course “facelifts etc

When you run out of money however, you have to send a text message costing $3 dollars to get more dollars or mula as it is called on the site.

According to CNN ” Users are given missions, including securing plastic surgery at the game’s clinic to give their dolls bigger breasts, and they have to keep her at her target weight with diet pills, which cost 100 bimbo dollars.

Breast implants sell at 11,500 bimbo dollars and net the buyer 2,000 bimbo attitudes, making her more popular on the site.

And bagging a billionaire boyfriend is the most desirable way to earn the all important “mula” or bimbo dollars.”

What do you say readers? Girls already have self esteem problems, now to encourage this as young as 9 years old and who pays to top up the account? Would you let your daughter play the game?

 

ADAURE DISCUSSES TECHNOLOGY WITH AN IT EXPERT! LOVE IT! DATA PAPERLESS SOCIETY NAIJA STYLE! February 27, 2008

Filed under: midweek technology,midweek videos,technology — celebritybeeotch @ 10:20 pm

Our very own blogger/star television personality discusses with ‘IT EXPERT’ Victor Ndali (Hewlett Packard Consultant?) on the benefits of a paperless society. Check out the video below.

The video gives readers a better understanding of the benefits of a paperless society. But is that possible in Naija?

How is document management performed? Well check out the article below:

The Benefits of a Paperless Office:
How Document Management Software is continually eliminating the need for physical file storage in small and medium-sized businesses.

As the world goes digital, so will your filing cabinet. Software programs like Imperial Software System’s EZ Doc Filer are taking the document management market to new heights. By allowing documents to be scanned into a database managed system, new imaging and retrieval solutions have the ability to store a company’s document archive on a server while integrating their legacy database application.

A direct result of this electronic organization is the easy access of all data that is withheld in each document. Files can be parsed into different data fields and queried as if they were created in a word processing or spreadsheet application. While this is standard of most document management software, few will have the functionality necessary to accept incoming files from company exclusive directories or from email and fax. A program like EZ Doc Filer (mentioned above) can both deliver files to and from email, fax, and the web.

For those companies who have not yet taken advantage of electronic file storage solutions, below is a list of features one should inquire about before settling on a specific document imaging system:

* Easy Document Retrieval
* Eligibility for documents to be queried and searched
* Prevention of lost documents
* Copier enabled scanning
* Quick PDF Conversion
* Fully customizable user interface
* Ability to fax and email from within the application
* Automated time and date stamp for proper intra-office logging
* HIPAA compliancy

Once such software has been implemented for use in a small or medium-sized business, the client can expect to reduce time spent searching for, retrieving, returning, indexing reviewing, and storing documents; searching for lost documents; and copying paper documents.

In a volatile economy, why waste valuable resources and capital on off-site storage fees and annual file system expenses? Rid yourself of the clutter presented by large, bulky in-house filing cabinets and make the change to a paperless office today.
