TechPlanet Asia was a startup media outfit supported by PriMetrica Inc, and CMP Media. The online publication was Asia’s first and only enterprise technology media to use a blog format and Web 2.0 technologies to bring news to today’s IT industry in a fast and open manner. Apart from building the site and customising the CMS, I was one of the publication’s Technology Editors analysing IT trends, investigating technologies, and interviewing high-profile executives from various industries. The media outfit closed down due to mismanagement of VC funds in 2006.
