Google Brings Search Stories To Taiwan, Wants More Taiwanese Searchers
Google Search Stories are fun to watch. Many of you would probably remember the Parisian love story video which later became a Super Bowl commercial last year.

I stumbled upon a Google Search Stories site built especially for Taiwanese in traditional Chinese. Google Taiwan is apparently trying to get local netizens to give its video search stories a shot, in the hope that it might ...

It poses a number of challenges revolving around Google’s many services. The end goal is to save the ‘O’ which has mysteriously been trapped in a browser pop-up. Caution, there be spoilers up ahead!

Facebook is Finally Looking At Asia SERIOUSLY
I love Facebook as a product, but sadly its team in Singapore doesn't live up to the standard. Why? Because the Facebook team in Singapore isn’t very friendly and responsive to the blogger community (or maybe it’s just me). Google Singapore, on the other hand, is doing an awesome job friending the tech community here in our tiny island. Every Googler — from sales and analytics to the PR folks — are open to talking to anyone. And whenever we have questions for the articles we’re working on, they respond quickly ...
