I'm slowly chipping away at the mounds of research I have to do in order to finish my independent study project for school. The ideas are coming together – at this point I'm interested in studying how Vietnamese companies/consumers communicate with each other through the internet. The social, cultural, and economic forces that make this challenging in the near- and long-term. And how best to manage the limitations and create successful customer engagement strategies.
Ambitious for only having two more weeks in the country!
Anyway, I'm looking up internet usage statistics in Vietnam. Here are a couple interesting facts:
First, Adult Friend Finder is the number 36 website in Vietnam. Go figure. Though the ranking seems a little suspect to me – I find it hard to believe that a great number of Vietnamese are going online to find casual sex!
Second, when I was first here in 2000, there were only 200,000 internet users in Vietnam according to the Internet World Stats. I remember internet being extremely expensive and extremely slow, but only 200,000?! By 2005, that number had exploded to over 10 million. Believable, but still pretty wild.
