This blog hosts my personal opinion and thoughts about my passion of technology, as well as social media. In no way it reflects anything of my employers or any professional opinion.

 

From the Big J, to eL

“Tempus Fugit”, without realizing I’ve opened another chapter in my life. I’ve been told, heard and read that in life not everything goes according to the plan - one door shuts, another window opens. I grabbed that window of opportunity and took a bold move from the Jing (Beijing), down to L (KL - Kuala Lumpur). The weather is expected hot with high humidity and I arrived in the middle of rainy season, but it’s fun for a change (FYI Beijing is rather dry and I knew I will get that time of year of breeze winter wind on my face).

Let’s jump on the Digital wagon stats shall we :)
27 million people in the country (Beijing over 19 million).
65.7% internet penetration rate.
16.9 million people online.
25-26% household broadband Internet penetration and I’m also shocked they don’t have uncapped data plan, it is also quite expensive.
55% on mobile, also over 30 million mobiles on the market.
16.1 average online hours spend on Internet per user.
91% on social media.
According to TNS, highest average friends at 233 people.
58% on blog, blog is kicking and very much active here.
36% network via mobile on social media.
Largest online banking user in Asia at 2.7 million people.
10,437,600 people on Facebook.
1 million Twitter users.
136,000 Foursquare users.
100 (around) group buying deals company, but only 25-30 active on the market. You’ll even see website that will display “Deals coming soon”. But each company is doing a big marketing campaign push, as it seems to be challenging on convincing merchant that this is a great marketing opportunity. (China over 2,000 group buying companies) I will have more updates later on, but enjoying the ride so far (PS. I arrived during the craziness of F1).
