Blogging that I’m closing my first e-commerce business was a little hard, and as an active blogger I had a few choices:
I could have either not bloggeed about it, hoped no one would ask
Transferred it to someone else and maybe said it was sold for something...
After a very successful first Social Media training seminar in January before Chinese New years, we have been trying to make an agenda and a plan for future events. Hero Meets Hero group (aka hiwto, a Chinese ecommerce group I’m marketing to Foreigners)...
I remember being that frustrated American in USA….emailing factories and Chinese businesses during the months of Jan / Feb and getting nothing, no reply, not even a vacation autoresponder (well Chinese don’t really use email anyway…) ….and...
Overall I like Google…but I can’t help to think they are getting to be more and more “evil” as an overall brand feeling.
Chinese Currently People Respect Google
it took a strong stand with the Chinese internet filtering at the beginning...
What is getting more and more funny…and crazy at the same time…is that I am getting busier and busier on my Sina Weibo, Tencent Weixin and QQ, talking about English social media and American vs Chinese culture and way of life.

I got more information when I read Silicon...
Finally got this new blog template online, been talking about new template since September, tried to get it online before my USA trip scramble…after getting back from America I have been doing intense meetings, events, proposals for ecommerce businesses.

Attending this tropicalmba event was a big reason for my trip down to the Philippines (I have been meaning to get down here for months), to find + network with like-minded internet entrepreneurs.
The event is the first of its kind, to be a month long networking...
My friend Leon is applying for a work visa in Hong Kong, and one of the biggest criteria is a university degree. Unfortunately, as smart and capable of a programmer in today’s world, one of the best I have come across, but because of formal education, he...
After startup monday yesterday, met Stephen Chung from wimdu room sharing which is a startup from Rocket Internet (part of the Groupon Europe clone Citydeal that was later bought out by Groupon and heads their international expansion).
Stephen is a cool guy from...
uh oh! Its official, I’ve changed my email signature from “internet marketing consultant” to “social media consultant”. Changed my “job” by changing my email signature….pretty hilarious when you think about it….but...
In an effort to keep up with the new social media and internet marketing tools, I had to make some necessary upgrades to this blog. Wow, I wouldn’t have thought so, but the traffic to this website has been steadily increasing, to around 300 to 400 unique...
