Isaac Mao in Singapore

Today I had the opportunity to play host for an informal event with a big name in blogosphere – Isaac Mao. This event was sponsored by I-D-A, and was a collaboration event between Singapore Internet Research Centre @ NTU, Entrepreneur27, SMU Information Systems Society and Student Technology Initiative (the one that I belong to).
