For some reason when I think of eBay, the first thing that comes to mind is Community. Looking at what they’ve done over the past (acquiring companies, branching off), each move has been community based. Take a look at Craigslist or even StubHub…community is the central driving force. Now, eBay is going back to the […]

Is being first always better?
One of the main reasons why I like the Web industry is because its always changing! New things are introduced everyday and old ideas fail everyday too. Because the web is so scalable, there’s so much to do in such a big space. The dynamic culture of the web allows for everyone to get a […]
Scrapblog is still missing a few things…I want more!
There’s been a lot of hype about Scrapblog and how its new and improved, and a powerful online media experience, but I want more. I guess I’m right around the target age for this (or maybe a little older), and although its favorable, I’m still waiting for a few more features. Of course this is […]
Top 5 Reasons Why I’m Glad I Went To College
I was talking to a good friend of mine (actually he called me to see how I was doing), and mentioned that perhaps I should write a Top 5 or Top 10. Well, its a good idea. This post is just a reflection of why I’m glad I went to college…by the way, it still […]

Video isn’t whats most important about YouTube
After reading a very interesting article by Andy Dickinson titled “Tools or Behaviour” he provoked an important point that I think many people miss. He cited Kevin Anderson from the Guardian, who argues that YouTube is not popular because of the video, but there’s something else intriguing about it. Do I agree? This really comes […]
Who can be a Community Evangelist?
I’ve been fortunate enough to have a great mentor, Jeremiah Owyang, who really set a good foundation for me both my career and with community marketing. Although I’ve been out of the Community Marketing circle for a while, it’s still on my mind. Yet, since Community Marketing is such a dynamic place to be in, […]
Starting my FIRST full time job at Hitachi!
Yep, the time is near…I graduated and now I am on the verge of starting my career. These past few weeks I have been jobless and homework-less, but now its time to start REALITY. Graduating from SCU after 3 long years and 1 quarter, I felt relieved, and ready to move on. Yet, now I […]
MySpace adds a friend in Japan…and mebbe Yahoo!
It’s definitely amazing how MySpace is growing not just in the United States, but globally. What many thought was just a fad, it is here to stay…at least for a while. Although MySpace is available to anyone around the world, they are now creating special localized versions of the site in other countries including Japan, […]

It looks like the news has broke out in the blogosphere that Jeremiah is moving on to PodTech. Although we will miss him at Hitachi, I am proud of Jeremiah. As a corporate web evangelist, he has definitely paved a way for the Community Marketing program at HDS. Hopefully, things will continue to grow. Jeremiah […]
