28. WEB 2.0 IS HERE &THRIVING
IN ASIA. AWARENESS RISING
29. 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)
31. ASIA’ STYLE
Less Innovation
More Consumers
More BootSrapping/ consuming US services
Angel Money
Local services are
VC only in ‘Scale highly localized -
Markets’ - China, Difficult to scale
Korea, India because of fragmented
cultures/languages
Community ‘Self Help’
