Launch of Yahoo! Answers in Kuala Lumpur for MY & PH markets



It was my first time in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and i'm glad Yahoo! was able to provide me the opportunity to see this wonderful country as we launch Yahoo! Answers in KL for both Malaysia and The Philippine markets.





It was an afternoon media briefing session in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last March 6 where Web 2.0 guro and social media expert Bradely Horowitz shared insights into the emerging global wave of social media and the impact that Web 2.0 will make on an expanding base of Internet users around the world. He also introduced the media to the company’s Social Search product known as Yahoo! Answers in the Philippines.



I, together with 5 Philippine media representatives were present for the launch as Y! treated us at the lovely Mandarin Oriental Hotel, right beside Petronas Towers, for the night.


KL was a pleasant change. The streets were clean, public transportation was a breeze, and the country seem to have their tourism going on the right direction.


But, i'd have to admit, Manila's night life is still the best in Asia.


After the briefing, I went to KLCC together with one of the journalist, turned friend. As i judge it, KLCC is like Manila's rockwell multiplied by 5 with the presence of international brands, not found in Manila.



Night time came, and we went back to the hotel to change clothes for 7tenine resto-bar. The food was wonderfully plated while its flavors wonder around my mouth. yummy. We were toured by a Malaysian journalist (turned tour-guide-friend), to experience KL's night life --- as i've said, Manila rocks.

Well, that was our little adventure to KL, with the launch of Yahoo! Answers. Check it out, and ask your Question. :)
