Hi Priscilla,

I’m a little to reply on this one – but then again local style remains the same today, plus I wasn’t an expatriate in Asia when you originally wrote the post.

A massive bugbear for is people assuming that what works in the west will work in Asia. As you pointed out, the environment is totally different – even across Asia itself – it requires local know-how and knowledge.

Hi Daryl, that’s the power of social media. I’ve sent the link to some colleagues and like-minded friends, hopefully those who read this blog pick it up too and able to share more thoughts. Keep up the great stuff you guys are doing.

I’ve seen the social media breakfast invite on facebook but I am traveling a lot these couple of weeks, will try to make it.

Hi Pris,

Just to let you know both Tania and Prof. Michael will be attending Social Media Breakfast: Singapore on Saturday. So you may get the chance to discuss such matters earlier than you think!

ps thanks for the Tweet. Quite a few of my classmates were thrilled to note that someone is actually reading our wiki!

Tania, great to hear from you. I can’t really say I have solid perspectives, I am exploring and learning alot myself but sure, give me a yell when you guys want to chat. I’ve been talking to one of your colleagues, Brian Koh.

Thanks Michael. I really enjoyed your students’ research and thoughts. Will check out the site on 7 April again. The link is going into error page, any other URLs to share?

Thanks for this, Priscilla. I did a lot of guerrilla marketing and Web 2.0 work for my previous company, muvee.com, that was focused mainly on the US…and I’m only just beginning to focus on the regional scene here in Asia for the digital influence work I’m currently doing at Ogilvy PR. I’ve been toying with the idea of hosting a casual “fireside chat” to talk about these issues and I’m wondering if you, Michael and others here would be interested. I’m hoping to bring in 1-2 bloggers who have a really solid global perspective to join the chat.

Hi Priscilla,

Thank you for stopping by the wiki. The site you visited is the on-going class project for my social media course at Singapore Management University. Each semester the students do the research while also studying social media applied to marketing, corporate communication and PR. The students have been great, very enthusiastic about the research, and some bring local-language ability allowing us to begin searching the non-English sites and statistics.

The site will again be updated on April 7, 2008 and you can expect quite a bit of new information. Once this update is completed, I will be creating and sharing my social media map of Asia, which should help companies better understand the growth of social media in different countries and how the online space can be used more effectively within and across countries.

Meanwhile, I have a fair number of social media-Asia blogs I follow. You can track the shared feeds on your Google Reader or Feedburner at http://www.google.com/reader/shared/02711948118778809683.

Please feel free to spread the word about the wiki. We are always looking to grow the community and, as you say, move beyond the US/Western Europe centric view of social media. There is an exciting social media world here in Asia and our counterparts in the West have as much to learn from us as we do from them.

Thanks for the blog post and please let us know if we can ever be of assistance. Many thanks to my student Daryl (UniqueFrequency on WordPress) who picked up on your post.
