    great list here! However are these all examples of the companies’ official social media channels or are they started by employees and unsanctioned by the powers that be?

  2. Yung-Hui Lim 10.23.08 / 11pm

    The ones with * are not created by the brand owners; these are examples of brands being used by brand lovers (and haters). There are also some initiatives created by company employee(s) but not officially ’sanctioned’ by the management (but I considered these types as being initiated and created by the brand owners).

    This is a great list. Though makes me wonder that in the name of social media marketing- overwhelmingly large number of companies think making a facebook group/profile is enough! At the most- some companies in this list started a blog- and even those seem to have limited engagement.
    There is hardly anything that could be said creative, innovative, or dare I say Intelligent.
    Having said that, lists like these require huge effort and thanks for compiling and giving us insights into the quality of marketing in the region.

    Great, very updated list! I updated the BizMalaysia friendfeed @ http://friendfeed.com/BizMalaysia with a list of those on Twitter too.

    BTW, @1oasis is on Twitter too ;)

    There are brandjacking issues, as noted above, like NewStraitsTimes by a Singaporean, purportedly (to drive traffic to his own twitter account). Wonder if @nstonline attempted by the real NST though, but not active at the moment.

  8. NaS 02.20.09 / 3am

    Looks like Air Asia is the most aggresive, both online and offline. I wonder if @AirAsia on Twitter is an official one though. BTW, Malaysia Airlines is at @malaysiaair – might need to switch twitter nick though, as not to confuse with a squatted malaysia.com domain.

    Myself promoting business both online and offline too… that’s just the way to go today… and will be more aggressive soon! Can’t just rely on traditional media anymore today – poorer result than online media, although more expensive, if you’d ask me :)

    Hi there!

    Thanks for listing us on this already great list!

    For the record, other than our blog and twitter (the first 2 items listed above under Malaysia Airlines), the other online presence are not ours officially. Some of these groups were started by individuals interested in aviation, others are simply a gathering for employees.

    Noted about the comment here (and echoed on twitter) that our @MalaysiaAir is a bit too long and confusing. I have contacted Twitter themselves for a shorter more identifiable username, and anxiously waiting for their favourable response before really going out there on twittersphere.

    If and when it is approved, I shall broadcast this to existing twitter followers.

    Fingers crossed!

    Thanks

    Hi John,

    Thank you so much for your feedback. I’ve put “*” to social media ‘groups’ not initiated by Malaysia Airlines.

    Also, wish you all the best with the Twitter name and looking forward to see more of Malaysia Airlines in the social media universe ;)

    Cheers,
    Yung-Hui Lim

    Well done Lim, this is an impressive list!!

    Looking at it makes me wonder why brands don’t promote their social network profiles a lot more than international brands? Do we all face the same uphill battle in convincing management that facebook is not a bad word?

    I am often dumbfounded to discover the lack of common sense in companies who boast of their presence online and yet view social media as satanic. Firewalls are erected to keep Facebook out of employee reach during office hours. Now, if their employees are spending too much time on social networks, don’t you think their customers are doing the same? So why the heck aren’t their brands there?

    I am watching to see what brands have the balls to dive into this “brave new world” and then do something great with it. A list of what great Malaysian brands are doing in social media would be interesting to see.

    Cheers, Carolyn.

    Though all the companies are having their own brand names fan pages or groups, I think they are using the social media the wrong way.

    Social media platform should be a neutral platform for people to talk about common interest. For example, abc cake house might have a fan page or group and it will be definitely created by the owner or fans. The question is, would you allow negative recommendation to be posted on your fan page or wall? The answer is NO.

    The idea of social media is to create a platform to Rate, Review and Recommend. Having your own brand group or page is like advertising yourself again. You are using the social media the wrong way. It should a neutral party.

    By the way, having your brand on any social media sites means you are making a presence only. It’s like putting up advertisement or bill board. When this happen, you are using social media marketing like mass media marketing. How sad?

    Recommendation:
    Have a neutral group to let people talk. For example, a neutral like the one I have is Malaysian Food & Beverage Network (http://groups.to/foodnbeverage) where members join to discuss various food and beverage outlet to hang out and which one not to.

    Hi Lim,

    I am only now seeing this list when i googled My Spicy Corner. Feel proud to see my little company on your list ;)
    I do agree with the general feedback that some feel just having a FB or twitter account does not suffice or qualify a company to be Social Media friendly. Having said that,I’m always open to and looking for new insights into something as new as this. Looking forward to Carolyn’s insight during the PRCA talk.
    Keep up the good job bro, look forward to our next meet.
    Cheers.
