Andy's start-up

This is my friend's start-up

Sometimes I think the world is small. I often find out I and some first-meet people are connected. Connected through some other friends or associations. Or friends belonging to different circles connect together. This kind of facts interest me.

Sometimes I think the world is filled with fantastic coincidences. I bump into people I knew long time ago over and over all over the world. I am amazed by this kind coincidence.

Andy is a perfect example. I first met Andy in 1997 when we both were in National Taiwan University. After college, we both went on different routes. Then, we met again in Stanford University. At that time, we both were busy so we barely saw each other. Then, a common friend re-connected us together. One day, Andy shared his start-up with many friends. Then, I accidentally found out he and another my friend were connected. I like his website because of the way how this site integrates Google API. The site is not just a common social networking website. This site allows you to share your thoughts and experiences with others (friends or not). This site is rich in terms of content. This site is cool.

However, you need to understand Chinese in order to understand the content. It seems like this site becomes quite popular in Taiwan. Congrats Andy.
