Malaysia Internet Marketers Gathering in Starbucks, KL Sentral.


I sat next to Starbucks hot foods and munched non-stop, all through the gathering hehe.

Mr. LimCS from 'Increseo' his own company.
Mr. Najib Habeb was on CMS.
Mr. Hanson was representing Google.

Mr. Gobala Krishnan and his inspiring talk.

LiewCF, me and Gobala Krishnan. Ladies, pick your choice, one only.

For me, one of life pleasures is to meet friends, old and new. Today, I met with new friends, lots of them, in Starbucks, KL Sentral during the ‘Malaysia Internet Marketers Gathering’ hosted by Exabytes / WebmasterMalaysia.com. My new friends are from a group of bloggers, webmasters and Internet marketers. Some are very popular and familiar Malaysian online personality like Gobala Krishnan, Liew CF, LimCS and many others, not to forget our Google Country Consultant, Mr. Hanson.

There were door gifts, plenty of free food and drinks courtesy of Exabytes and Starbucks. Mr. LimCS did a marvelous job as an emcee of the event with his friendly and warm personality. The first speaker Mr. Hanson, briefed us on Google roles in the cyber world including a newly released ‘blogger’ in Bahasa Malaysia, ‘Google map’ and 'Google Calendar'. The second speaker Mr. Najib Habeb gave his talk on 'CMS' and our last speaker, the most anticipated, non-other than our successful and well known Malaysian Internet marketer, Mr. Gobala Krishnan.

As good as his blog writing, his presentation on making money on-line was brilliant and inspiring. His memorable line that I admire was – “everybody have different specialized skill that can be transformed into products with opportunity to market on-line (as e-book), even if there are someone better in that area of specialization, that doesn’t mean that our skill cannot be appreciated”. Well, that was not the precise speech of Mr. Gobala Krishnan but I am sure that’s the message he was relaying. I personally agree with him especially on his suggestion of ‘selling specialised skill in the internet as a good idea’.

The event that started at 2.00pm ended amicably at 5.00pm with our last agenda the ‘networking’ and group photo.

I would like to say ‘thank you very much’ to the organizer. Congratulation for organizing a successful event.

Ps: Events like this one are very educational and will foster business network, our 'usahawan' should look out for event opportunities like this.

Love,
Hanafi

Encik Hanafi,
There was such gatherings? I'm pretty sure that those people who are already aware of the 'power of the www' gained much more through the gathering(",).
I've just arrived this morning. If I know of the gathering, perhaps I could join to learn more of the 'power of www'(",).

Hi Hanafi,

Just for your information, Lim CS is not from Exabytes, he is from increseo, his own company.

I saw you in the gathering but have no chance to chat you with. I am sure we will meet again in person soon, since Exabytes will organises this kind of event from time to time.

To those missed out the gathering or want to review back I talked about, I have posted the presentation (in flash) on our website. Voice over would be nice, but will take my time! Anybody willing to pay for that?
