Social Media Breakfast: Singapore 2 - The Success Part

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Yesterday was SMB:Singapore 2, which was great because we had the unveiling of the first version of the logo (which was printed out on all the name tags), just under 60 people appearing, pretty good food and what I thought was a nice cozy venue at Cafe Domus.

For me, it was really good meeting people like Siok Siok and Krisandro, Rony Thomas in person, and finally getting to meet Preetam, as well as interesting conversations with Su Min, Jayden, Hun Boon and many more. I also had a kick ass time being interviewed for Geek Goddess TV together with Sheylara and Derrick. (Mic, please make me look good in post!)

As always, great meeting the (by now) usual crew of Nadia, Tech 65 guys, Yuhui, Ridz, Hisham, Supriya, Brian, Daphne, Nicole, Coleman, Claudia, Peter, Miccheng, Bernard and Shannon. I’m sure I’ve missed out people and I apologise! This crazy linking is hard work, but I like generating linklove.

If you came for SMB and we didn’t manage to connect, do drop me a comment or look for me on Twitter (@uniquefrequency) or on Facebook, and we can start a whole new conversation there! Just drop me a note so I know you’re not some random person looking to add me.

You might notice this post says “The Success Part”, more on “The Failure” part later today. Also, I’ll be putting up a post consolidating all the media coverage of SMB2, so if you have a blog post, pictures, video, audio, anything, drop me a comment so I can link you!.

And now, on to the pictures (mouseover for captions):

TV: Still Most Powerful?

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

I’m at a relative’s place for Chinese New Year, and the TV is on, and I see this station id going something along the lines of “Still the most powerful, TV”, and later on during another commercial, they’re advertising how cheap it is to get a TVC on the network.

Given that internet spending is going to surpass radio, and some projections have it outspending print by 2010, how long can TV be safe? And how delusional are these people to put that on their network?

I think the fact that they have to use their own ad time to put ads for themselves says a lot. I’m going to label this as desperation, how about you?
