Mini-blogging Takeover?

I find it harder and harder each day to post on vernonchan.com. Times have changed. I used to write, and write, and write. Sometimes long-winded stories. Sometimes lengthy rants. But no more. I find myself occupying Twitter-ville and posting snippets on mini-blog platforms like Posterous and Tumblr.

Is this the death of the ‘blog’ as we know it?

Who knows? I’m contemplating moving vernonchan.com to either Posterous / Tumblr permanently. What say you?

Malaysian Entrepreneurs First Ever Night Out

The first-ever Malaysian Entrepreneurs Night Out was held last night at Nomad Offices, Pavilion KL. Organised with MoBIG, the event was themed “Businesses and Opportunity with Mobile Industry with Google”. The goal of the meet was to understand the mobile landscape in Malaysia more. However, unfortunately for the 30-odd attendees, the Google boys could not make it in time due to another appointment, so we made do with some insight from Jeff Bannister of Orbitage who talked about “Opportunities in the Mobile Industry.”

There was good buzz during the event and it was also a great platform for business networking and sharing – connecting like-minded individuals and entrepreneurs. I had the opportunity to meet Twitter friends (including Daniel Cerventes whom I met for the first time ever!) as well as familiar BNI faces – David aka blogjunkie, Evelyn Ang aka missy_blurkit, Takhoe, Evelyn.

Joan from Nomad Offices (who sponsored the venue) was also given a slot to tell us what Nomad offered and later organised a lucky draw for attendees. And what do you know, with some praying and positive thinking, Daniel drew my card and I received 3 months free subscription of the Nomad Virtual Office service!

Certainly a platform that I support and will participate actively in the future. BarCamp Malaysia too!
