TechnoKimchi ::

I'm Twittering, too.

So, yes, I've FINALLY started twittering.

And..

My twitter page is the ugliest I've seen so far. But you can clearly see the TechnoKimchi logo on it. Please let me know if you find an uglier one. Maybe we'll put up an "the ugliest Twitter page" contest :)

Anyhow, as I repeatedly find myself not living up to my own expectations on updating TechnoKimchi, I've come to a compromise: that is to update lightly on Twitter. I know I'm a really late comer to the game, but this will surely make me feel less guilty about myself.

So, follow me and you shall prosper. More interesting stories to come soon!

p.s. I'm in Paris again, so if anyone's still around, let me know :)

Meet me at LeWeb Paris!

basic info

Now you might ask, "so, is the fall/winter of 2008 a conference time for you?"

I go, "Yes!" After my stints with X Media Lab and Open Web Asia.

So, I'm heading to Paris on Monday for LeWeb '08 Paris. Why? I've been invited to be on the panel called "Embracing Asia's Market Explosion." What else would I talk about? :) Also on the panel are:

Masashi Kobayashi - Co-Founder & Managing Partner,Infinity Ventures
Kaiser Kuo -Group Director, Digital Strategy, Ogilvy China
Frederick Henry Saurat - CEO & Co-founder The TMS Way Ltd. HK

Moderator: Thomas Crampton - www.thomascrampton.com

More than anything, I'm just honored to be on the panel and also thankful for those who got me there! Can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to meet the great people there and also visit Paris for the first time in my life!

I'm sticking around for few more days in the glorious city of Paris, so if you're planning to be there as well, don't hesitate to contact me.

You can always reach me at twdanny@gmail.com.

See you all there :)

Who is Taewoo Danny Kim?

basic info

Some people have been emailing me asking who I am, what I do and stuff. Just thought I might have a brief introduction of myself here. I mean "relatively brief" :)

Born in Korea, educated in U.S. from high school up to graduate school,
A computer science major,
Been back in Korea since 2003,
Worked for a great company named Samsung SDS for about 4 years,
Then quit the great company to become a full-time blogger (the first one in Korea as far as I know),
Known as the "Web 2.0 Evangelist" in Korea for my passion and enthusiasm for the changes related to "Web 2.0",
Blogger behind Taewoo's Log (Taewoo is my Korean name), one of the most widely read blogs in Korea with nearly 6,000 RSS subscribers, covering various aspects of the Web: technical, social, economic and legal,
Enjoying his last year as twenty-something before turning the big 3-0 -> is no longer applicable as I've already turned 30 :),
Author of the recently published book Meconomy, which examines the new economic landscape shaped by the Web with individuals being the powerful suppliers,
And loves Korea, Music (esp. piano), NBA, all kinds of Asian food, and Jesus.

This ain't my resume, but hopefully this will give you guys more context as you try to digest more stuff on TechnoKimchi.

Since I took a big break from all knowledge-gaining activities late last year for personal reasons, I've been trying to fill up my knowledge buffer before I start pumping out great stuff about Korea. So just a little bit more patience, then you shall receive much :)

Always, thank you all!

Did you see me on CNN?

basic info

Yes, that's right. I was featured LIVE on "CNN Today". I was interviewed by Kristie Lu Stout.

Yes, that's right. I'm talking THE Kristie Lu Stout :)

CNN is featuring a whole series called "Eye on South Korea". You'll purely love it! It's basically everything I've been trying to say at TechnoKimchi: what's it's like to have a digital generation like in Korea.

You can watch the video clip of my interview HERE.

At first, I thought it was really incredible that a little boy like me could be featured on such prestigious media like CNN. And it was possible because of this blog: THEY FOUND ME THROUGH TECHNOKIMCHI!

It's just so weird. Tons of people have been contacting me since the broadcast. Lots of people actually searched for the term "technokimchi" to land at this blog. What a day!

Below are some pictures taken from the set. I'll go over more on CNN: Eye on South Korea in the coming days! Until then, hurrah!
