TIMENet closes down

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.
