AsiaBlogging.com started in Asia (CNET Asia Blog)

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

Budi Putra, AsiaBlogging.com CEO and founder wrote more information about Asia Blogging Network (ABN) in his CNET Asia Blog. In his article, Budi wrote about some reasons — and great points — about this network. He also explained about the reason why this new blog network started in Asia.

“Because of fast-growing blogosphere in this region. Asia is also an emerging market in Internet content especially for blogging, multimedia sharing and social networking” — Budi Putra.

AsiaBlogging.com was two weeks ago, and we are proud to be part of Asian blogosphere. Let’s bring Asia to the world!

Thank you for your letters!

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Few days after we launched AsiaBlogging.com, we got many letters from our contact form. And we never thought that we have many positive responds. So, allow me — on the behalf of all team members and bloggers — to say: thank you!

We received many application letters — and we want to inform you that we got every single email sent from our handy contact form. But you probably haven’t got any responses from us. It’s not only that we handle each email one by one, but also we found it hard to give answers. I want to share some tips when you send emails:

  • If you want to apply to be our bloggers (or guest writers), let us know about yourself in your first email. Tell about who you are, let us know about your blogs. Give us as many information about “you”.
  • Provide a valid email address and real name. We do not know all bloggers in Indonesia (or Asia). It’s better to mention your real name than putting “Me”, “Anonymous”, “Blogger from Indonesia”. If you publish articles in our blogs, your personal information will be published (at least your real name).
  • Help us to answer your inquiries. Sometime, we find it hard to give responds. We only got email like this:
    • “I want to join this network”
    • “I want to register my blog”
    • “Hi, I love blogging!”

Once again, we love receiving emails. We always wait for your feedbacks and ideas from all bloggers (and our site visitors). If you send us emails, we will reach you back — if your emails really needs answers. If you do not receive respond on the next day, be patient… take your time to browse blogs in our network. And if you haven’t heard anything from us in a week, you can contact us again.

Budi Rahardjo Blogs on ABN

Monday, June 11th, 2007

It was a dark and stormy night. A techno-geek once called net.god.id has started yet another blog. Budi Rahardjo. BR. Once idolising Leonardo Da Vinci, this geek inherits multi talents from his idol. He’s known as a hacker, a lecturer, a musician (on vocal, guitar, etc), an ustadz, and God know what else.

This time BR blogs with AsiaBlogging: Art and Tech, located at mytechblogs.com/budirahardjo. This is the first blog here bearing the writer’s name as the directory name. This is the first (but surely not the last) blog discussing multi-topics in single blog: art and technology (no wonder for this geek). This is the first bilingual blog in AsiaBlogging, written en anglais et indonesien. This is also the first blog with homework and assignments for the readers (he’s a tough lecturer, I guess). And this is also the first blog here to be celebrated on a Starbucks café (Bandung Supermall). Unfortunately, I could not join the party. But we can celebrate the blog by paying a visit and leaving comments there. Welcome aboard, BR!

Server overload & flood of inquiries

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Wow, what a day it was yesterday! Our server was overloaded to the point it exhausted both its memory and its swap space! We worked for several hours, and now the server is good (touch wood). Thanks for your visits, do please try to overload our server again :-)

We’re currently swamped with contacts, inquiries, emails, etc. Currently we’re trying to reply to all of them as quickly as possible, but there are quite a lot of them. Thank you again for your inquiries, and please be patient for the reply.

Thanks!

Asia Blogging Column Widget

Yesterday, we launched this blog network officially. It would not be possible without great efforts from all bloggers, contributors and blog administrators. As an information, we have a special section here where we published articles from our guest writers. Again, thank you Wimar Witoelar (site) and Jennie S. Bev (site) for your articles!

If you are our blog readers, you can see the latest articles from our guest writers from any sites reside in our network. We’re placing a widget in our blogs (more than 60 blogs!). I know, not all blogs have this widget… but it’s about time. We also have plan of releasing this widget for public. So, if you’re WordPress users, and you use widget-friendly themes, we have something for you near the future.
