Maylaffayza is one of the few Indonesian celebrities who maximises the use of technology, particularly in blogging, social networking and multimedia sharing. She uses her blog site (maylaffayza.multiply.com) and Flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/photos/maylaffayza) as her expression as well as marketing tools.

In the Indonesian music industry, Maylaffayza stands out for being the only solo pop-classic crossover female violinist.

The statistics indicate that bird flu has infected 81 people in Indonesia, killing 63, since the first human case was identified here in July 2005. Globally, there have been 165 fatalities from 271 human infections.

Bandung Institute of Technology's PhD student Ria L. Moedomo has successfully created an application which provides a system to assist in processing and analyzing poultry sales and the distribution process to track and combat against Avian Influenza.

Please allow me to talk about myself on this occasion. I already decided to quit from my existing job as a journalist with Tempo, Indonesia's most respected general affairs magazine, and turn independent writer and full-time blogger.

Beyond my expectations, news of my departure hit the country's blogosphere and got a lot of positive responses from other bloggers, with some even naming me "Indonesia's first full-time blogger".
