VentureBeat: Google buys Korean blogging software platform TNC, one of first purchases in Asia

    um ... that's a Korean celebrity ...

    the guy said on his blog underneath the photo that "By the way, that's not me in the picture" ...

    Yes, that's why I was also curious about the "pictured left" thing in the post. Besides, I am also under impression that the CEO is actually a guy from a phrase on his blog "In Korea, all men must serve in the army for several years, but instead I ended up at an internet company called Nextel through a special program for people with IT or other skills." So I guess the girl's photo on the blog is more intended to show how beautiful Korea can be :)

    Hey Matt, obviously my sense of homour misled you to think I was a pretty girl. :) Well, if I looked that great, I would probably working in a different line of business..

    Also to be clarified is that the company was originally founded by Chester Roh, not me, as said on my blog. Thanks!

    Wow, cute gal and now that young lady is probably a multi-millionaire. I bet she can already retire and live the good life. I gotta get smart and learn some programming.

    Despite the danger of sounding too self-important, I would say our company was a fairly good acquisition target for Google. Webmaster Services

    Quite exciting if true, but also another potentially fraught legal path for Google and YouTube to walk down.

    Interesting to see a CEO blog about acquisitions. Koreans are one of the more technologically advanced Asian nations at the moment.

    Interesting. Good to see companies like Google embracing a global view of business, rather than an insular approach like so many others. Can only be of benefit to everyone.
