According to the article, "Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala II defined the Internet in the Philippines in 2000."

Read the whole ITNetcentral article here:

The Web's Most Influential Man of the Year (http://www.itnetcentral.com/article.asp?id=212&leveli=0&info=home)

Do you guys agree? Why or why not?




*PinoyExchange was mentioned in this article. :)

... so when will he log into PEx... or is he one of us around here... :|

[batang uliran]

He browses but doesn't post.

[aticus]

Where, specifically, does he browse, b.u.? I'm curious to know what interests him...

Oh, and congratulations on the article. Good work. :)

** psst... CaRaMBa... let me know when I can talk to you. I'm involved with a major e-Business conference, and I was wondering if PEx would be interested in a cross-promotional deal. No cash out.. :) **

[zimdude]

... awww he should post! no one will know it's him anyway.

... anyway with regards to the topic, wouldn't it be scary if Ayala ruled the local Internet scene... Globe was *the* telco/ISP, BPI the financial institution, etc... it would be scary to try to compete. well anwyway, I don't work for a conglomerate.

Let's just say I'm sure Jaza is happy we don't have anti-trust laws in this country... :)

JAZA has mentioned that he has always been surprised at the broad range of topics discussed in PEx. He has read through some of the topics dealing with iAyala, Ayala Center and Globe. He has even mentioned PEx as an example of what young people can do when they apply themselves (at the last Ayala young leaders seminar).

[zimdude]

... the PEx scene is still not as I could make it. I would require Ayala company management from the Presidents down to spend at least one hour a week on PEx. Not hard, is it?

[batang uliran]

Much harder than you think. I know that many high ranking Ayala Group Executives have known about PEx for over a year and none of them have posted and perhaps a few visit occasionally. Even my best friends - one of whom is in the IT consulting business and another with a Masters in Medical Informatics from MIT (the MIT) and is currently taking a PhD in Computer Engineering and Artificial Intelligence at the same institution have never posted.

As always, we are more than happy to listen to all your ideas regarding promotion of PEx to an older group of working types.

[zimdude]

It has to start at the top... if JAZA proclaims PEx as one of the highlights or even a cornerstone of the Ayala Internet strategy, then he has to declare that he and other senior executives make time out for PEx. It is "Pinoy" Exchange anyway, not "Kids" Exchange.

As for strategy into penetration, well if you want to hit companies then you could do it through the HR department.

How was the Young Leaders' Congress?

Kakabilib naman if you were chosen to join. Eleeet!! :D

It got a lot of press. So what did McKinsey and JP Morgan have to say? Are you inspired by the speakers?

(I'm now reading from PDI Sunday Biz which doesn't seem to be on the Web)
