ENTREPRENEURSHIP FEATURE: Home-Grown Start-ups SHOUTMIX and NUFFNANG
I would like to feature two applications which are currently found on ErnSheong.Com.
ShoutMix
The first is ShoutMix, the free chat widget proudly brought to you by a Malaysian named Tan Wei Heng. Tan started out with a passion to provide the best free shoutbox. In his words, “It started from my own enthusiasm on crafting shoutboxes. It was running great until it was at about 11 months old with 20,000 shoutboxes.” With the help of yet another Malaysian web hosting company, Exabytes Network, Tan managed to continue hosting ShoutMix and eventually moved on to create a premium service for ShoutMix so that ShoutMix would be self sustainable.

Nuffnang
The other is Nuffnang, which is Asia’s first and leading blog advertising community. To date, more than 13,000 blogs have signed up with Nuffnang’s platform in Singapore and Malaysia. Nuffnang’s platform allows advertisers to serve graphic or video based advertisements onto the thousands of local blogs that are signed up with them. Nuffnang is proudly brought to you by Timothy Tiah and Cheo Ming Shen, a Malaysian and a Singaporean respectively. Thousands of bloggers have been served ads by numerous bluechip companies, such as Nike, Citibank, Nokia, F&N, Walls, AirAsia, Honda, and many more. Read more here.
And as the About-Us page on Nuffnang.Com says at the end, “The Best Is Yet To Be” for Malaysian entrepreneurs. Rock on!
