Caravat.com - How to be different?

December 10th, 2008 | 31 Comments | Vietnamese, Web 2.0, vietnam

This morning, I have a conversation with Anh Hung about Vietnamese start-ups. We talk about the most useful Vietnamese online services. We both agreed that Vietnamworks.com, a human resources service of Navigos Group, is one of the best. But we also complained about Navigos Group’s newest service, Caravat.com. Like I said “It’s too late to apologize” on Twitter, Caravat.com has been made a lot of mistakes on it’s spamming day two weeks ago.

Great day at Barcamp Saigon

November 15th, 2008 | 5 Comments | Thinking, vietnam

Just back home from my 2-month-wedding-anniversary. Tonight is really fun, I was sang a lot although my mouth have some pains. Thanks Nguyen and Khoa for sharing our sweetest moment at the Karaoke tonight. And thanks to my wife Anh Thu for always be on my side. I love you damn much, my sweetie. :)

Before our celebration, we have came to RMIT to join Barcamp Saigon, the first user-generated-content event in Vietnam. The event was great with so many interesting sessions. I met a guy who are an expert of Drupal, he’s rock. Mr Nghia, my friend and my co-worker, was presented about how to make magic with Python. And I really enjoyed the presentation about how to make a multi-touch surface with just 3 dollars.

The contents aren’t the only interesting part of Barcamp Saigon. Barcamp Saigon is a very 2.0 event, where people make contents and discuss about them. I also met some young and active boys and girls in Barcamp Saigon. They are so amazing. :). I have to say Barcamp Saigon is a very good organized event. The organizer know how to get things done, so impressed.

The good thing is I know what I have to do in my future plan. There are no time for a lazy guy like me to catch up the experts I met at Barcamp Saigon. I have to make a really plan, and do it, right after now.

A good day hah, I have some new friends and then have a good time with my closed friends. Hope Barcamp Saigon can be organize in next year, so that I can present in my own session. Time for bed, goodnight!
