No nude posing yet... Naviblog makes Red Herring cover

600 entrants, 200 finalists, 100 selected as Red Herring Asia winners, only 2 make it to the cover of Red Herring magazine. Guess who is one of them?

Nice to get that kind of recognition from a magazine that's read by more than 100,000 people worldwide, with the majority of its readership being executives in the technology and financial industries.

But let's put this in perspective. With a current staff of five, not only are we by far the smallest company among the winners, but we are also one of the youngest, with 85% of our fellow medal-scoring startups having been founded earlier than 2005. And although the profile on Naviblog describes us as a "startup with a brash company culture" (they do have a point), we try to stick to the facts.

Over the past week alone, Naviblog has been featured on French mobile trends site Mobitrends, mobile news site Wireless Watch, and voted top news story at the Wireless World Forum. It has also been recently covered by numerous websites and blogs, including The Economist and Yahoo! Finance Germany.

We are not really planning to pose nude Richard Branson-style anytime soon... but stay on your toes, we may just change our mind.
