The internet is such a special creation. Its borderless

nature, accessible to anyone in any part of the globe at

the push of a button, provides information to anyone as

and when they need it.

Similarly, the same flat structure of the internet also

provides opportunities to any individual to have their

own space and exposure to the world via a tool of mass

media. It presents the average Asian will an opportunity

to stamp his mark online.

Asia has seen a number of businesses make a presence for

themselves starting from just having a website in the

virtual world. As more and more of Asia obtains broadband,

3G and even WiMax access, the online market increases and

more and more people recognise the internet's potential as

a cheap and wide reaching entry point for business.

Here are just a few notable online movers and shakers in

Malaysia:

a. Realestate.net.my: a simple, typical mode of a successful

website, the site ranks 118,909 on Alexa at the time of

writing and provides free use of a forum and property listings.

In exchange, it shows a multitude of Google ads at

strategically placed locations, no doubt taking a small sum

out of Google Adsense for little effort at all.

b. Malaysiakini.com.my: Founded by a former mainstream

journalist wishing for more latitude in his reporting than

possible in pro-government mainstream newspapers, this online

newspaper was started online and hence enjoys the benefit of

not requiring a press and printing licence that its mainstream

contemporaries do. Accordingly, the prospect of having its

licence cancelled does not constrain its every move. The public

enjoys the comparatively frank reporting coming out of its

website and indeed, it has probably done its bit to give more

wholesome reports on socio-political issues in Malaysia. All

this, whilst raking in a bit of cash for itself.

c. Kennysia.com: Malaysia's No. 1 blog comes from Kuching,

East Malaysia, by former IT professional who studied in Perth.

With his amusing wit and positive slant on issues, he tells

all about the transition of returning from Perth to Kuching,

trumpets his love for Kuching now and whips up a joke or two

about current issues and happenings around the region.
