I’m a writer, commentator and broadcaster on technology and innovation.

Between 2000 and 2008 I wrote a weekly column for The Wall Street Journal’s Asian and Online editions. I record a weekly piece for the BBC World Service’s Business Daily.

I also work as a consultant to companies, individuals and institutions on issues relating to technology, social and traditional media, and innovation.

When I’m not doing that I teach and train students and journalists in media, online media, blogging, the whole social media thing.

I also work with organisations like The Carter Center on election related issues.

When I’m not doing that, I’m writing a book on Indonesia’s late president Suharto.

This website — via the links on the right — should answer any questions you have, or give you ways to contact me if it doesn’t. I’d love to hear from you.

(If you’re pitching me a story, I’d ask you to read the Guidance for PR page first.)
