Founded by Flickr Creator, Slack Launches to Tackle Internal Corporate Communications

Internal communications is an aspect that has continued to haunt companies as they scramble between using one set of tools to another, often mixing them up creating difficult to trace trails and records of what is being said by whom and when. At DailySocial we’re proud to say that we’ve been using Slack for the past few months. The messaging and collaborative app, built by Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield and his team at Tiny Speckwas officially launched overnight.

Halo, Saya Andi

Ahoy there. Sebagaimana beberapa pembaca telah menyadari, sejak beberapa minggu yang lalu, ada penulis baru di DailySocial. Dan beberapa diantaranya mungkin bertanya-tanya, “Siapa Andi Miftachul ini?” atau “Siapa bisa seberuntung ini menjadi penulis di DailySocial?”. Yah, saya mengerti kok. Bahkan teman-teman saya iri ketika saya cerita bahwa saya akan bekerja di DailySocial. Namun, kenalilah saya dulu dan Anda akan mengerti, kenapa saya bisa di sini.

Nama saya Andi Miftachul, panggil saja Andi. Entah dianggap atau tidak, tapi saya punya gelar sarjana dari Ilmu Komputer UGM. Selain pengalaman menulis di blog, saya berpengalaman menulis untuk majalah dinding sekolah dan majalah IT mahasiswa. Kalau itu belum cukup, beberapa artikel saya dimuat di salah satu tabloid IT nasional tahun lalu. Itu pasti prestasi besar.

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.

Bukan April Fools : Welcoming Aulia!

Oke, cukup bersenang-senang dengan hoax tentang perubahan di DailySocial kemarin. Tapi sebenarnya, tidak semua posting kemarin adalah hoax. Di post ini, saya ingin menyampaikan beberapa update mengenai DS dan juga sedikit bocoran mengenai arahan kemana kami akan membawa DS.

Pertama, Aulia Masna bukanlah pengganti saya sebagai CEO dari DS. “I’m still the CEO, bitch!”. Namun Aulia Masna benar-benar bergabung ke tim DailySocial dan nantinya akan membantu mengembangkan konten multimedia di DS. Aulia sendiri memang merupakan blogger teknologi yang sudah malang melintang di dunia perbloggingan teknologi di Indonesia dan bahkan sempat menjadi Managing Editor di blog teknologi asal Singapura e27.sg. Happy to have him on board!

Now, let’s talk about DS.

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]
