About

Hi.

I am Budi Putra. Call me Budi.

I write mostly about technology –especially gadgets and online media. Yeah, I love writing. Writing (and blogging is just another form of writing) has been becoming a habit –if not an attitude– for me. That’s why I fell in love with this once I stumbled upon blogging in the beginning of 2006 –although I already started to blog sporadically since 2002, but tend to be a reader rather than a blogger/writer.

I worked as a journalist for years (and joined TEMPO –Indonesia’s most respected publications– for five years), wrote some books, then decided to be a “full-time” blogger for more than two years — write for CNET and SlashPhone, among others –before joining Yahoo! as Indonesia Country Editor. Then I quit Yahoo on May 2011. Now, I am CEO for The Jakarta Post Digital and Director at Viki.

To contact me, please email to bp [at] budiputra.com. You can also follow me on Twitter (@budip), Facebook (budip), Flickr (budip), YouTube (boedip), Meme (budip), Koprol (budip) and Posterous (budi.posterous.com).

Dear Budi,

My name is Linda and I’ve been following your blog for a while now and found your articles interesting and informative. It’s always great to read about social media practices and its effects and implications in Indonesia.

I am currently working on a campaign for Sony 3D HDTV. We’ve made a few videos that I thought you and possibly your readers might find interesting and entertaining:

Thank you very much. Again, please keep up the great work!

Best regards,
Hendri
