Damn! I’m FAMOUS in Singapore!
Things are really getting crazy! There was a one page (!) article on me and my website in the STRAITS TIMES, Singapore’s biggest newspaper! Or to be more specific, in the “Digital Life”, the weekly pull-out of the Straits Times that is all about…well…digital life! 
Okay, perhaps “FAMOUS” is too much, but for sure more people know about me and roomsDB.net – rent a room in Singapore ! And that is just great! Especially if you consider that this is just a hobby of me that I do next to writing my master thesis AND studying Chinese.
I am so happy that my project can help so many people find accomodation in Singapore and that it is much easier now than compared to some years ago when there was no such website. And I am getting so much feedback these days! Thanks to all of you who comment on this blog or write me email or give me some suggestions what features would be cool. Please go on with that!!! It is so motivating and shows me that I am doing the right thing here!
Please support this site! Mention it on your blogs, tell your friends about it! Together we can make this site even better!
Oh, I guess you might want to read the article yourself, here it is:

Good for ya mate!
roomsDB is a cool website!
=)
thanks! you can support it by setting up a link to it on your blog!
Congrats.
You got 4 times more pageviews after the article? Wow. That is amazing. I always thought that people are lazy to type out the url they read from digital Life.
Do you have a tracker that trace where the readers are coming from? Scally you are featured in some other sites but you don’t know.
Great idea you have here and glad that mainstream media (ST) has covered it. I see that blogging has taken off somewhat in the real estate business with some estate specific blogs like Tiong Bahru and Serangoon Gardens available too.
Wishing you success ahead.
Hey congratulations.. Many of us hope to get the press to look at our sites too..hahaha..i wish you all the best
Hey mate
You are one hell of a guy who go against convention. Congrats. Please keep it up. You’re doing a great service to the local scene.
The trouble with a portion of the population in this red dot is having internet phobia due to lack of exposure. A lot of folks still not know what internet is and how to use it.
The more this chaps know about internet, the bettr.
Anyway, keep roomsdb humming.
thanks man! hope internet phobia will end some time there! it is really crazy, in Germany we do everything online, shoping, banking, dating…and SG ?? Wow, long way to go ya!
But you are on the right way! Will keep it humming!
Bye!
