Settling in

I just wanted to thank everybody for reaching out regarding my new position at Facebook. Juggling with a new position, relocation and a new born is a handful, so please bear with me if I haven't been able to respond to your mails, call, IM's etc.

I'd try to respond to you once the dust have settled. In the meantime - please feel free to drop me a message on (650) 488 76-88.

Pulver's Israeli Facebook Party

Although I really didn't have time to go Jeff Pulver's Facebook party given my new job, new child and relocation errands, I'm glad that I stepped by. Letting your Facebook friends connect with each other over free drinks is definitely a great idea. Everyone was wearing stickers with their name, company and tagline. Anyway, I made some new acquaintances and had a chance to catch up with some old friends. Kudos to Jeff for inviting me and for the great idea.  I wonder if there are any other Facebook networking events like this around the world? (In the picture Jeff, me and Ouriel).

Silicon Dragon: How China Is Winning the Tech Race

A year ago I was interviewed by Rebecca Fannin, international editor of the Hong Kong weekly Asian Venture Capital Journal and former International News Editor at Red Herring for her upcoming book: Silicon Dragon: How China Is Winning the Tech Race". The books message is that we shouldn't be surprised if the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates will be coming form China. Through an in-depth account of the new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs that is challenging the U.S. for global high-tech leadership, Rebecca is trying to take the reader behind the scenes to provide an up-to-the-minute account of a phenomenon that is just now breaking the surface in mainstream media and business press. I was one of the entrepreneurs interviewed through my involvement in Maxthon as was Jeff Chen, Maxthon's founder. Rebecca just let me know that the book will be hitting the shelfs anytime soon and you can pre-order it already from Amazon (see link above). I have not yet read the book, but for anybody interested in how the Silicon Dragon is taking on the U.S for global high-tech leadership I think it will be very interesting reading.
