This amazing directory lists blogs from Asian countries, even some which just barely got connected to the Internet and, naturally, only have a few bloggers.

It took our team a while to fill the directory, but yeah, it’s here now!

The work goes on though; the team will continue to look for exceptional blogs to be featured there. In the meantime, if you think that we’re missing something, do let us know by filling the form here.

Happy blogwalking !

Bev wrote about blogging and Web 2.0 in Op-Ed section of The Jakarta Post, Monday (September 17, 2007) [PDF version].

According to her, the conventional media (or the press) –which is known as the fourth estate– and blogging as the new estate are going to complement each other. “As long as the rules of the game and boundaries are mutually respected, there are many things to be learned from each other,” she said.

Jennie also mentioned Asia Blogging Network (ABN) as a maneuver of the new estate from Indonesia:

…a collective effort to unify Indonesian and other Asian blogs has been executed through the establishment of AsiaBlogging.com, which might eventually form a group of influential pundits and opinionated bloggers and broadcasters. Such a unifying effort is an admirable accomplishment, as the selection process would elevate the credibility of Indonesian and Asian bloggers as equal counterparts to the conventional press.

We hope our blog network could mean something for the world of blogging and Web 2.0 and could be one of trusted sources and readings in the new media era.

That is why several companies are now establishing Guidelines for Corporate Blogging.

Despite the growing risk, few Asian companies have established policies that formally address employee and CEO blogging.

Since blog is one of communication means, the leader like CEO can use blog to communicate with his/her customers, stake-holders, employees, media, and even with his/her rivals!

It’s nice if Asian companies and CEOs could create specific model of this new media and communications tool.
