Folks, lads, chaps, some friends and I will be organising Asia’s first Facebook Developer Garage in Singapore next Wednesday. Yep! It’s the first in Asia alright. Previous garages were held to great success in San Fransisco, Toronto, Seattle and London. Apart from Singapore, there would be a couple more upcoming garages in Cape Town and Vancouver.
We’re already in touch with some really cool people and developers ( 
) . Look below for more information.
Venue: Tentatively National University of Singapore Staff Club (map soon)
Date: 24th October 2007
Time: 6pm onwards
Dinner will be provided.
Bring your laptops. Please.
We’ve also created a Facebook group so if you’re in the neighbourhood do pop by and chill with us.
Event site here.
Good friend, David Haddad, has just started a smart blog about mobile location based services. I loved the site the moment I entered and saw the tag line. Cheers.
Holy Cow. Thumbs up to Jyri and the gang!
Other coverage here and here and here and here. It’s cool to know that the guys we got as speakers at the Hej! 2007 conference early this year got acquired by Google!
Personally I had communicated with Jyri (though emails) and Andy Smith and you know what, honestly, these guys deserve every bit of attention they’re getting at the moment. Wishing them all the best in the future…and wait a second, does this mean a) first Mobile Adsense, now this, then google-phone? b) more jaiku users in Singapore? c) What’s the next big idea from Jyri and co? 
Rock on guys. Finland explodes, Sweden rejoices, Singapore wakes up.
So Spotify, when is your turn?
[How apt. Look at my previous post ]
[Here’s the guy apparently behind the acquisition on the GooG side]
[There are rumours about the possible acquisition price being in the range of 20 to 30million USD. But one will have to wait and see I guess…Maybe there could be a performance related clause just like the Skype-eBay deal]

Stumble it!
