Hi Ian,

Thanks for the review.
I liked the Jessica Alba analogy, given that I am one of those fans who are responsible for voting her to be the sexy girl on Askmen.com.

In any case, we hope that for future events, it would be really focus on developing depth on some of Google products, for example, Android or Open Social. That will enhance the developers’ community here in Singapore and also enable us to build up the web industry here.

Hey man, we’re flattered by your compliment. Thank you.

That said, the road is going to be loooong and uphill from here on… Let’s hope we can ride out the storms.

Launching at Barcamp Singapore II…

Yesterday evening at Barcamp, while Google was giving their keynote presentations, the Widgeous team was all huddled up in some back room(ok, so it was the other presentation room) hacking away trying to make sure that they would be able to present……

Well this is business. It is not about just us but also to people in the industry and also to Bernard and his gang too.

At the end of the day, infighting in just Singapore is not going to help anyone be it BAK2u or TenCube.

We be just fighting in a sandbox where the rest of the world progress with better and stronger solutions. In the end, none of the Singapore companies can survive outside just becos of some stupid fights.

In fact, we even restrain from in the presentation claiming as the only company in the world that cover the widest no. of devices, not to mention on Android too.

It will not be helpful to anyone other than just trying to showoff which gain nothing but to have others putting us up comparing in the event and some spillover effects only.

Yup. But from an audience, I feel a bit wasted lah. tenCube literally had a free ride cos your presentation kind of like opened for them. Like you go rock concert, and there is an opening act to whet appetizer for main act.

It seems business cannot always so generous.
