Collaboration Announcement - Angel Wong Chui Ling "EatEatEat" with Mapdoo

Today, I'm absolutely delighted to announce the soft-launch of yet another collaboration portal between Mapdoo and Angel Wong Chui Ling named "EatEatEat".

Angel, or better known as Chui Ling to her many fans is a Hong Kong-born Malaysia-based TV and radio personality, host and columnist. Her eating TV show, One Day Five Meals (facebook page here) has been a huge hit among the Malaysian fans and is entering into its 3rd season screening on Astro projected to be in June 2009.

"EatEatEat" not only showcases the places that Chui Ling likes to eat. It also allows Chui Ling's fans to recommend good or bad places to eat with the easy to use Mapdoo local search engine. It is indeed a Web2.0 platform that needs your participations and interactions with Chui Ling to make it a truly useful food portal.

I want to to thank both Chui Ling and Joanne Ng (Aluva Media), and the entire team at Mapdoo for the quick execution of this collaboration . You could start to explore "EatEatEat" today and I'm off now to suggest my favorite chicken rice place for Chui Ling :)

I hope you enjoy using "EatEatEat" and enjoy eating!

Happy 2nd Birthday & Happy April Fool's Day

Time flies and today marks the 2nd anniversary of Mapdoo. We want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have made this anniversary possible. Your great support has enabled us to work tirelessly with the aim of bringing you to places... with ease!

On April 01, 2007, Mapdoo emerged and it emerged as the very first local company that provides local search for Malaysia. It did not come about because there was a great financial opportunity; it did not come about because there was a chance to gain great popularity and honor, but it did come about because there was a commitment to make local search lively available to everyone for free and searching for places shouldn’t be a miserable experience in Malaysia (& APAC region)

We knew from the very beginning it would be a sacrificial effort. Yet our commitment to provide this was unshakable. Many people predicted it was a mission impossible, and others predicted the website would fold in less than six months. Yet from day one, there was a vision, excitement, and incredible dedication on the part of our staff. We did indeed upset the doomsday predictions. Today, 2 years later, no one denies that Mapdoo has emerged as the primary local search platform in Malaysia.

Today, as we celebrate our 2nd anniversary, Mapdoo is stronger and more battle ready, but not yet the best we can and will be. We can assure you, with your support, Mapdoo is going to bring you much more than what you are seeing now. Once again, thank you very much!
