Former CNET Asia blogger; gadget lover; and currently working as Country Editor Yahoo! Indonesia (Comments expressed here do not necessarily represent the views of my employer, Yahoo!). meme.yahoo.com/budip
talk with me
After more than 2.5 years working as a full-time blogger and running a Jakarta-based blogging company called Asia Blogging Network, now I'm joining Yahoo! I was recently appointed as Country Editor for Yahoo! Indonesia, and will be based in Singapore for 6-12 months while setting-up Indonesia's office.
Why did I accept this offer? Of course, it's so challenging. This role is also still in-line with my passion: engaging with online content and community. My responsibilities including to engage and work with local content partners as well as writers and bloggers. It means that I will keep engaging and meeting with all of you, my fellow bloggers and readers :-) As the role's name suggests -- the Country Editor -- I will be much more working on news, columns, blogs etc for Yahoo! Indonesia site.
After left Tempo --Indonesia's most respected news organization-- more than two years ago, it's nice that finally I will return back to the newsroom. This time Yahoo!'s newsroom. Despite I can't blog for CNET Asia and SlashPhone (including PhoneMag and iPhoneBuzz) or contributing tech articles for The Jakarta Post anymore, but I will keep blogging for my personal blogs as well as greeting and seeing you through Twitter, Facebook or some other social media accounts. I will be starting my Yahoo tenure next week. Wish me luck with this new venture.
