Lunch 2.0

Secrets of 8

Filed under: lunch 2.0 — SVWB @ 2:13 pm

Fengshui

It didn’t take long for Hollywood to understand the power of 8 when the movie studio released the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” on 08.01.08. It didn’t take much effort for Feng Shui Master to bless the fortune from Beijing Olympic on 08.08.08 at 08:08 for its open ceremony.

Following the advice from a well-respected Feng shui Master, who was once hired to help Coka Cola to alter their Feng shui, our special event is moved to 08.28.08 to capture the power and fortune of 8. According to Feng shui Numerology, everyone tab into this power of 8 will receive “unspoken” blessing. US fortune will be depending on how much uncle sam is going to capture this “8″ power.

Our special event is to cover how social media affect our business, social and personal life. We’ll talk about Beijing Olympic 2008 and how web 2.0 change the way we watch and connect to Olympic. NBC with Olympic rights cleverly crafts social media into watching experience. I was able to watch Opening and Closing Ceremony videos even I missed the TV schedule. Now Lunch20 reaches China Shanghai. Facebook Platform speakers should be aware of the facts that SVWB does reach beyond Silicon Valley with our spider web network and should consider giving us the speaker time and attention. Hong Kong/China fans are watching here!

We will be giving out special edition of Beijing Olympic kits to our lucky attendees, on a first-come first served basis. Gifts are sponsored by 99people.com and this special event is co-hosted by SVIBA.
