Pasar Twitter is another one of Neuro-Designs pet project which was released yesterday. Pasar Twitter is an online aggregator for Indonesian Twitter users that wanted to trade online, using posts in Twitter. Basically, what it does is it collects tweets that referenced @pasartwit, as well as suitable hashtags that have been provided to better aid the users, which are #jual, #beli, #cari, #sewa and #jasa.

Pasar Twitter uses the very same cron script developed by Rian Triharyana, which is also used in Andira Pramanta‘s AlasanBuatPutus. Pasar Twitter was also featured in DailySocial at the day it was launched.

On Tuesday, March 3, 2008, I was invited to be one of the panelists in the ASEANpreneurs’ Alpha Challenge Networking Event in Singapore. This event is a scenario-based competition whereby participants are expected to harness the power of media to spread the stories of successful entrepreneurs in ASEAN amongst the region.

The networking event was held in Geek Terminal, whose CEO, Christopher Lee, was also one of the panelists. Joining the panel discussion as well was Janice Tseng, a spokesperson in behalf of Donut Empire, Singapore’s fastest growing donut outlet. Spanning for a couple of hours, the event features a series of agenda, including a keynote presentation from Christopher Lee, the panel discussion, as well as a free networking session afterwards, of which we can discuss freely with the participants that attended the event.

More photos of the event can be found here, while more information about the program can be found here.

On behalf of Neuro-Designs, I wish the event to run smoothly and that this can be a major turning point for ASEAN’s potential young entrepreneurs.

Just two days ago, our good friend Jonathan Nasution came up with the idea on integrating Twitter users to report traffic updates. I took the chance to develop this website together with him, as a pet project for Neuro-Designs. The basic idea is to have Twitter users update their status with the latest traffic report, and we mine that data as a feed to WordPress. The result? Well, you would just have to see it for yourself.

This is work on the go, so I’m quite surprised with what we can come out with in just two days. I really feel that both WordPress and Twitter are easily integrated, and they contribute an immense impact to the world of Web 2.0. Thanks for all the support and suggestions, guys! Especially to Charles Johnson, Aulia Masna, and Andira Pramanta.
