At the same time scheduled soft launching reached any last minutes "checksound", we gathered in monthly IT community meeting in Bandung. Right, on 1 June Asia Blogging Network did hardly completing various posts, finishing acessories, about this and that, scripts, and also themes to conform to milestones listed before.
On Thursday, 6 June, official announcement was declared and team members wrote their own "individual announcement" on each blog. We decided that words of mouth is potential enough to create snowball effects, the way many of Web 2.0 start their services, and – most important – reduce promotion into less-expensive one. Because Budi Putra, the CEO of Asia Blogging Network, still has many friends working in mainstream media, his network helped launching since the day one.
Yes, Asia Blogging Network – I admit this posting is also one kind of promotion written by a team member of this initiative, so Harry Sufehmi told that it would be potentially biased. Okay, no early review; it is better to go directly there rather than judged by [biased] reviewer. Finally, this means I must write double, take care of its members, and share more passions about blogging.
Thank you.
Months ago I met Aulia Halimatussadiah – well known as Ollie – in Muslim Cultures group of Flickr, and I added her as my Flickr contact. On Desember 2006, she found my Vox account and added me as neighbor. I sent an email telling her that world is so close – it's like only a matter of time to meet that same person in other networks.
The surprise continued. Having read her posts about books (she managed kutukutubuku.com), I read entry about an author of her favorite book and – very interesting – he is one of my old friends in Groningen, The Netherlands. Not to miss the point, I talked to Frensis (the author) and informed back to Ollie. I think they are well connecting now.
Last surprise: Laura added me as her neighbor. Hmm, who is she really? Seems I never heard this name. Visiting her Vox profile, all became clear: she is what I have known well as Al Muhajabah, which I ever mentioned when I wrote about Megan.
Assalamu'alaykum, Laura. Nice and very glad receiving notification that you have added me as Vox's neighbor.
Now is 2007: world is smaller and closer than we think?
