Dine Up with Social Media Experts
Dec 7th
CIO Pakistan is hosting the first Dine Up ever with Social Media Experts in Pakistan on the 9th of December, 2009. This is the third even by CIO Pakistan and Google for bloggers and tweeters in the country. The special thing about this event will be the appearance of Sania Saeed who will share her experiences with social media experts.
The event is exclusive and for only 40 people. If you’re in Karachi and consider yourself a social media expert, here’s the link to register. Confirmation will be done via email or phone call from the CIO secretariat. Also check out the Facebook event page for more details.
Oh, and yes, Umair Jadoon and yours truly (hosts of PakCrunch) will be present at the event too. :)
Let us know if you’ll be there!
Yahoo wants you to reach Females and Adults
Aug 11th
Did you know Yahoo is the most visited website in Pakistan?
Did you know you could reach 1,146,963 Females from Pakistan using Yahoo?
Did you know you could reach 1,176,162 Adults from Pakistan using Yahoo?
It’s funny how Yahoo chose to make The Generation Next, Females and Adults the highlighted words. Specially, Females being at the very center of the ad.

Launch Time.

PakCrunch, as you know resembles the hugely popular TechCrunch in name, but has a different aim altogether. To cover startups, companies, technology news, websites and innovations coming out from the Pakistani industry as well as students from all over the country. Granted, there’s not lack of talent and skilled people here, but what we lack is an organized effort to give them chances to prove themselves.
We believe that excelling in technology and getting a share of the World Wide Web with some good and useful websites or startups is a sure way of improving the image of our country. But, the bad news is that there are far less efforts and innovation being made in this field than we would like. The good news is, we’re getting support from major players like Microsoft’s BizSpark program offering free software for startups and the ICT R&D Fund by the Ministry of Information Technology.
Truth be told, these efforts wont be useful unless the industry members and youth try to innovate and face risks. Failure is a sure fear when going out of your way to do something different than the rest, but you wouldn’t know success unless you take the risk. Not taking away the credit from those who are already excelling in the IT industry of Pakistan, we wish to cover up each and every aspect of the technology related industries of Pakistan.
