Microsoft Malaysia Business Advantage Newsletter
Microsoft Malaysia has contracted Marcus Gomez to write the lead articles for its monthly Business Advantage Newsletter: Management and Technology News for SMEs.
The monthly enewsletter contains helpful insights and tips for small to medium businesses. The business strategies covered include brand building, the creativity of selling and customer relationship management. It also includes some useful technology tips as well as the current events and promotions of Microsoft Malaysia.
The enewsletter is delivered by email every month. The April 2009 issue may be found at http://www.microsoft.com/malaysia/smallbusiness/newsletter/april09/. You can sign up for free (see the link at the top of the page?), although you’ll need a Windows Live ID to do so.
As many TIMENetters already know, TIMENet has ceased operations. Visitors will be sad when they see the management’s notice of closure atop a wide expanse of sky.
Time dotCom made the decision to shut the popular web portal down earlier this year as part of an extensive restructuring exercise. The portal was deemed to be not aligned with the Group’s business objectives, and all editorial contracts supporting the website have been terminated. We were, of course, informed of the decision in advance, and we would like to thank TIME for its professionalism and the way it handled what must have been a very difficult situation with us.
While we are disappointed with the decision, we are nonetheless proud of having served the illustrious web portal as editorial consultants for as long as we did — nearly eight years, all told. The portal played a big role in our humble beginnings, and supported us through our early years. It was an immensely popular destination for contests, news and movie buffs in Malaysia, and it will be sorely missed.
Having said that, the demise of TIMENet also means that Marcus Gomez is now available to take on other full-time website maintenance contracts. If you’re having trouble keeping your website up to date, Marcus Gomez can help. We possess a sound understanding of Web 2.0 technologies and search engine optimization (SEO) strategies, plus enough programming knowledge to be able to independently manage any website.

We’re in 2.0!
After almost a year of careful planning and deliberation, MarcusGomez.com is happy to finally step out of the age of HTML 4.0 and move into the the world of Web 2.0.
We’ve made our site a lot more friendly, as you can see. And we’re also expecting you to tell us what you think about it. So, comment a lot, and maybe we’ll tell you what we think of your website when you launch - we are freelance writers, after all.
We’ll (I’ll?) be updating the site regularly with news of our exploits, so do subscribe for RSS updates and we’ll keep you posted. Besides the usual RSS Readers, our feed is now also available via email, thanks to the guys at Feedburner.
We’ve also rethought our product line and come up with ways to serve all our customers better. We are particularly serious about our writing and communications training programmes.
