Asia Businesses Online
By juliaa
The internet is such a special creation. Its borderless
nature, accessible to anyone in any part of the globe at
the push of a button, provides information to anyone as
and when they need it.

Similarly, the same flat structure of the internet also
provides opportunities to any individual to have their
own space and exposure to the world via a tool of mass
media. It presents the average Asian will an opportunity
to stamp his mark online.

Asia has seen a number of businesses make a presence for
themselves starting from just having a website in the
virtual world. As more and more of Asia obtains broadband,
3G and even WiMax access, the online market increases and
more and more people recognise the internet's potential as
a cheap and wide reaching entry point for business.

Here are just a few notable online movers and shakers in
Malaysia:

a. Realestate.net.my: a simple, typical mode of a successful
website, the site ranks 118,909 on Alexa at the time of
writing and provides free use of a forum and property listings.
In exchange, it shows a multitude of Google ads at
strategically placed locations, no doubt taking a small sum
out of Google Adsense for little effort at all.

b. Malaysiakini.com.my: Founded by a former mainstream
journalist wishing for more latitude in his reporting than
possible in pro-government mainstream newspapers, this online
newspaper was started online and hence enjoys the benefit of
not requiring a press and printing licence that its mainstream
contemporaries do. Accordingly, the prospect of having its
licence cancelled does not constrain its every move. The public
enjoys the comparatively frank reporting coming out of its
website and indeed, it has probably done its bit to give more
wholesome reports on socio-political issues in Malaysia. All
this, whilst raking in a bit of cash for itself.

c. Kennysia.com: Malaysia's No. 1 blog comes from Kuching,
East Malaysia, by former IT professional who studied in Perth.
With his amusing wit and positive slant on issues, he tells
all about the transition of returning from Perth to Kuching,
trumpets his love for Kuching now and whips up a joke or two
about current issues and happenings around the region.
