About
The Web has grown from a mechanism to a central idea that is transforming us as individuals, communities and polities. This blog tracks the thinking on the transformation and the ways of the Web as a way of life and doing busines.
Webs@Work is published by Khengze Teoh, an Asia-based journalist and multimedia producer/director/writer. Khengze is my persona online as I don’t relish a hometown reunion in my inbox.
The site reflects my interest in visual texts, civic video and digital activism. Aside from an occasional rant or two, I curate significant conversations online about ideas, trends, events, companies and people to make sense of all things Web.
As an observer of emergent media issues, I comment on these topics and I invite you to join me in this essential conversation about the Webs at work in our lives.
