There’s an interesting piece from the BBC – on Google’s increased attention on Asia – the shifting gravity as BBC puts it. The article itself didn’t mention Indonesia, it was mostly about China.

Setelah mereka mengalami beberapa masalah serius sejak tahun 2006, Friendster masih melakukan berbagai upaya untuk bertahan hidup, namun tidak satupun dari strategi tersebut bisa membuat Friendster keren kembali seperti dulu.
