First organic response video from Sri Lanka : Maththalata thawa dina
In my post back in Jan 3rd i predicted how video memes are held back by the various reasons, main being the internet speeds in Sri Lanka. Today morning i was thrilled to see one of the first video responses. This was to the "Maththala Airport opening" countdown ad.
Three guys have got together and done a superb comedy countdown of the Maththala opening coutdown done by kids on TV last couple of days. I must say the video is very creative and very well edited - well done guys.
Watch the video below (Like the creators mention - Pls note that this is just to make fun of the ad, no objective in dissing the good work done by authorities for bringing in a new airport - we should all be happy about it)

Twitter Sri Lanka Reacts to Malinga
It was Malinga's mistake of shouting at a media person yesterday after a Sri Lanka Cricket meeting. The mainstream media accused Malinga of being swollen headed, but i guess tweeps gave the most creative reaction by turning his words in to a trend called "Malinga Meme". It all ends with his phrase "wedak balaagena yanawa manussayo yanna" (Mind your own business). Below are some of the tweets
- Malinga goes in a bus!

Advertisements entertain us without just selling products and establishing brands. Below are some of the epic ad lines tweeted (And it between the suggestions and on bottom how it all started).

Rise of LinkedIn in Sri Lanka
It's been couple of years for us in LinkedIn but i'd say it has started being used properly from only recently. The recruitment companies are now actively in it and the top management no longer need to hang out in bars & parties to exchange a quick word with a potential employee, now they can just message through LinkedIn.
Below is a tweet from our PahanS (of Kichibichiya fame - worlds first Sinhala twitter client)confirming the fact.

Welcome Sri Lankan(Sinhala) Meme Facebook Pages
I predicted this sometime back in a discussion with @RukshanR while discussing the future of Sri Lankan memes. I said that soon Sri Lankans will start using meme characters and creating purely Sri Lankan memes using local languages (Sinhala).
Sri Lankan online sphere is becoming localized rapidly in all areas. Sinhala news websites, Sinhala blogs are getting more traffic and there is more engagement in Sinhala Facebook communities if you closely examine. And the trend "memes" couldn't resist.
There are quite a few Sinhala memes pages started recently and now doing well. And then there are the large Sri Lankan Facebook pages converting from viral content to memes since memes are easier to develop. Few examples are
ඩර්පිනයි ඩර්පයි (Derp & Derpina)
අපි පිස්සෝ Api Pissoo

Another trendy Twitter Sri Lanka night #TweetLikeX
many people who start Twitter and do not continue complain that they really dont get Twitter sometimes. Its simple like public SMSing(Only what you want public to know). And the most fun is when everyone starts tweeting to one awesome topic - We call it a "hashtag". A hashtag collects all the tweets to a specific subject. For e.g. If it is Australia vs Sri Lanka match we all tweet using #AUSvSL so all Australians and all Sri Lankans & whoever is on the same page.
Following is a different type of a hashtag we had last Monday called TweetLikeX. What we had to do was to tweet the styles of the person "X". It all started with one @LyricistHeshan tweet - I RTed tagging Kawudaboy imagining all the U2-Bono-Tattoo tweets we can tweet about Heshan.

he.he.we can totally do a #TweetlikeHeshan @kawdaboy savvy? RT @lyricistheshan: we should make a new hashtag like #TweetLikeX:pI thought it will work for a specific tweep but soon the timeline was flooded with TweetLikeX tweets replacing different names in Sri Lankan twittersphere. Few good ones given below
