Re: Indonesia: Where Blackberry beats iPhone

guntar — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 11:05:33 -0000

In Indonesia, Blackberry is perceived as a premium gadget which can give a boost on personal value (i.e. to be more awesome). Thus, there are still many who buy blackberry just for the sake of coolness among friends and colleague, and not for either business or personal productivity sake. Moreover, currently, there are dozens of qwerty smartphone (with price below $100) and blackberry alike sold in Indonesia. For those who can't afford blackberry, they're content with having facebook more than the premium phone. The young and teenage beggars even use their 'income' to buy such facebook gadget.

Re: Indonesia: From Friendster to Facebook

It's not necessarily about the traffic, Indonesian people would prefer facebook because it enables them to whine, to talk about what they think and do and such. It's what connects friends in seemingly real time. Facebook is perceived more as a personal weblog for Indonesian. Twitter is not quite popular yet, since Indonesian use facebook as twitter as well (and many Indonesian blogs are suffer because of facebook).
