The event was organized by APAC Venture Sdn. Bhd. at Zouk KL on the 20th June 2012, to launch AVAST newly improved version 7 and also the launch of it's social app WeChat in Malaysia. More than 200 bloggers, local celebrities, media members and partners showed up for the event.
The main highlight for the night would be the first hand experience of the WeChat application. It works similarly like the Whatsapp application and the obvious difference that WeChat offered is the 'Shake' function. You'll be able to 'Shake' your device and connects with other WeChat users both locally and internationally.
My friends and I agree that the 'Shake' function makes you feel like you are going for match making. Shake your device and wait to see who showed up on your screen. After viewing the person's profile and picture, then you'll be able to decide whether you wanted to add them in your friends' list or not.
Since WeChat is orginally from China and was just newly launched in Malaysia, almost all the user that you could find is mainly from China and only a handful are from Malaysia. Other than that, WeChat still works great as a normal messenger for text messaging, hold-to-talk voice messaging, photo/video sharing, location sharing and contact information exchange.
Thank you so much APAC Venture Sdn. Bhd. for inviting me for the event!
