Hi, I’m Andi

Ahoy there. Some of you may have realized that for past few weeks, there has been this new guy writing for DailySocial and some of you were like “Who the hell is Andi Miftachul?” or “Who is this lucky guy?” Yeah, I know, I know. Even some of my friends are jealous and said “Lucky you” when I told them I’ll work for Daily Social. So, let me introduce myself and tell you why I deserve this.

My name is Andi Miftachul. You can call me Andi. I have a not-so-important computer science degree from Gadjah Mada University. Aside from a writing experience in my blog, my personal blog, I’ve written for my school’s bulletin board and student IT magazine. And, this next one is big, some of my articles were published on national IT tabloid, last year. I hope those counted. Continue reading Hi, I’m Andi

Introducing Dailylicio.us!

As you know DailySocial is a blog covering primarily the Indonesian startup scene and the news and stories that we post tend to be of a more serious but relaxed nature. Since the scene exploded last year, we’ve been noticing a rash of activities, probably far too many for us to cover completely. Increasingly there have been bits and pieces of information that we think are important or worthy enough to share but not enough to warrant a blog post.

As we head to the weekend, we want to make a little announcement. We’re putting those bits into a separate blog that we call Dailylicious. We’re sharing info that you’d probably enjoy reading and sharing with your friends and colleagues and we’re using Tumblr to do it. Why Tumblr? Because it’s built for sharing stuff easily. Whether it’s a quote, an image, a link, or a short update, it’s already formatted accordingly. And it’s very laid back.

If you also have some cool info or hot tip that you would like us to share on Dailylicious, do let us know via the submission link. If you wish to remain as an anonymous tipster, tell us, otherwise we’ll publish your name along with it. So go check out Dailylicious now, and be entertained, startup style.

Hello, I’m new here

Hey guys, some of you may have heard about my departure from e27 so I’m here to make it official. A few weeks ago Rama approached me with an offer to take over DailySocial as chief executive. Apparently he’s been offered a mentoring position at a brand new, as yet undisclosed startup incubator, supposedly run by at least one former Sampoerna Foundation executive. [Update below]

Hello World! All New DailySocial

Sebuah hari yang baru untuk tim DailySocial, setelah sekian lama akhirnya DailySocial berubah rupa menjadi lebih rapi, bersih demi kenyamanan teman-teman dalam mengkonsumsi berita harian disini. Sejak minggu lalu di acara Jakarta Ventures Night saya telah sedikit memberikan bocoran screenshot design terbaru kami, sebuah WordPress Theme yang didesain oleh FenStudio.

Dan selain design baru, kami juga memutuskan untuk pindah lebih dekat ke Indonesia. Yes, we moved in.

Sebelumnya, server kami berada nan jauh di luar negeri, sebuah kemurahan hati dari Chris Prakoso yang menyediakan hosting, dan akhirnya juga masuk ke dalam tim DailySocial. Namun kami tetap ingin fokus dalam memberikan kenyamanan akses untuk teman-teman pembaca, jadi kami memutuskan untuk pindah ke sebuah server yang ada di Jakarta. Terima kasih juga untuk teman-teman dari Klix Digital yang telah menyediakan hosting super cepat di Jakarta, semoga sekarang akses ke DailySocial makin cepat bagi teman-teman sekalian.

Masih ada banyak pengumuman yang ingin saya sampaikan ke teman-teman seputar progress pengembangan dari DailySocial, namun lebih enak kalau satu-satu dulu saja. Tunggu kejutan-kejutan dari kami minggu ini, stay tune!
