Hello from Your Search Guy for Southeast Asia :)
First off, apologies for my readers in Singapore as it has been a heck of a long time since I made a post. The past few months have been quite hectic. I've changed roles (no longer your Developer Evangelist for Singapore) and am now your Search Guy for Southeast Asia!
Search Guy... what is that? Good question, my goal is to help the people in our humble part of the world find and explore more on the web be this through our Search engine or our Maps. Give it a try...
Our Search - http://www.live.com
Our Maps - http://maps.live.com
I've been sitting on this post for quite some time as it was hard to convey to all of you what it is we're trying to do. Search and maps is only just one piece of something much bigger and focus is not at all on just one single dimension. So instead of trying to write out some long essay... this video perfectly illustrates the "YOUR digital life" theme all of us here are working towards.

Hmm... notice how Search and Maps are only a small piece of this whole "connected nirvana"? If you think about it... the focus should be on YOU and how our efforts can complement YOU and what you do everyday.
There's lots of work happening behind the scene to make this more and more a reality for Southeast Asia. Pretty much every piece of what you see in this video sits in or around my team here in Singapore. They are all super smart and full of ideas. I wake up everyday excited to go to work as I know there's much we can do to make all our lives more fun.
If you keen to know more about what we're up to or want to make a request... reach out and give me a shout. I'll be starting to ramp up my community presentations soon so you can always reach out then.
