FIRST THE INVESTMENTSTHEN THE USAGE
WEB 2.0 IS HERE &THRIVING IN ASIA. AWARENESS RISING
WEB 2.0 ANALYSIS
Primary Consumer Technology Market in Asia still lies in Gaming:
Online Gaming Revenues (i.e. MapleStory, WoW) still trumps anything in Web 2.0
Now: China, Korea, Japan, Thailand. Emerging: Vietnam, Indonesia.
Gaming is not-equal-to Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is still in its infancy Innovation Wise in Asia
Consumer Adoption is Extremely Strong: Facebook, Youtube, Xiaonei, TuDou.com, Baidu.com, QQ, Yahoo!
Enterprise Adoption is pretty slow.
SME’s, Sohos First. (i.e. Google Docs)
WHAT’S HAPPENIN’IN ASIA?
ASIA’ STYLE
Less Innovation
More BootSrapping/Angel Money
VC only in ‘Scale Markets’ - China, Korea, India
Community ‘Self Help’
More Consumers consuming US services
Local services are highly localized - Difficult to scale because of fragmented cultures/languages
