[ Personal ]

It has been a while since I posted anything on this blog. It's not because of a lack of topics. Over the last few months, there have been some pretty interesting developments in the whole Web 2.0 space. Instead of just thinking about it or writing about it, I have decided to be a part of the new developments unfolding in the Web 2.0 space.

In March, I founded a new company and incorporated the company in June. We're now busy working on the prototype and we hope to have an Alpha version out some time in early 2007.

We are still in stealth mode, but the company is in the knowledge sharing space. We are learning from the success of sites such as Naver's JiSikIn and Yahoo Answers and applying the knowledge sharing concept to a different market in a different way. If you are interested in tracking our progress, you can sign up to be on our mailing list by going to:

Needless to say, it has been pretty exciting so far and we're all looking forward to launching next year and making a difference in the knowledge sharing space.

Stay tuned!

[ Personal ]

It has been a while since I posted an entry to my blog.

The primary reason for not blogging over the last year and a half has been my position in the WebEx CTO Office. Given my role in investigating new technologies and developing business opportunities for WebEx, I felt that it would not have been appropriate for me to write about current technologies and trends.

Well, that's all changing now.

I have now made the decision to leave WebEx and I will be transitioning out of WebEx over the next few weeks. WebEx is a great company with a tremendous opportunity in the SaaS space and I'm grateful for having had the opportunity to work directly with Min (CTO) and Subrah (CEO) at WebEx. However, in the last year and a half, too many things have happened in the market and too many interesting companies and technologies have emerged for me to stay at a large, established company.

I will be taking some time off to develop my ideas and then go about assembling a team and launching a startup. I also hope to use this blog to discuss my ideas and interact with others who share similar interests and passion for technology.

Who knows? Maybe I'll meet my future co-founders/employees through blogging!
