Singapore’s social media celebrity visits Silicon Valley

July 31st, 2007 | Category: Global Web, Events

It’s great to meet the community of social media folks from around the globe.

Mr Brown (a child hood name that stuck with him) is in town here in Silicon Valley. He was attending a few conferences and is doing some footage for his video blog travel show. He was a gracious host to me while I was in Singapore one night, so I was happy to show him around. I introduced Singapore’s biggest blogger to one America’s top bloggers (video below) and we headed to Palo Alto for lunch (pics). While Robert and Rocky were showing him Facebook, we realized we couldn’t access the site, it was down, Facebook says it wasn’t compromised. On the return trip back, we stopped by the garage where HP was started, see pictures.

I did an interview of Mr Brown in Singapore a few months ago, despite the heat!
