Facebook, business and Facebook business in Vietnam

This picture started life on my new business website but I thought it deserved a wider audience.

A large ad referencing Facebook. That’s Facebook that is blocked in Vietnam.  On the outside of a Hanoi police station.

Odd, though somehow, very Hanoi. More thoughts on this here.

So yes, there is now a business website with its own blog.  And the new business is now named OMIH Media. This is as a direct result of  Elliott from the New Hanoian repeatedly asking me if I’d had any more thoughts about what I wanted to call my business. He’d make a vague face  when I shrugged and said “Our Man in Hanoi”.

“I suppose you could always use just the initials,” he replied in a way that suggested he thought I’d be a fool not to.

He had a point.  Something more “grown up” was needed and OMIH Media was born. I had no problem previously with the Hanoi bit but the “man” grated.  It almost felt like I was saying: “Out of the way, let The Man do this for you”.

Anyway, because I wanted to keep this blog for my more rambling Hanoi musings I’ve created the aforementioned website for my business.

Personally I think RSS is the key to the social media universe.  But if you like to consume your blogs with a dash of Farmville and you’ve got your head around the DNS issues then I’m finally doing the Facebook thing.   Go here for the FB OMIH Media page and here for the FB Our Man in Hanoi blog page.

Please feel free to join either.

Or just keep it here. And there.
