Singapore
Lee Weiling is digital strategist by day and co-founder (and editor) of TaobaoHacks.net by night. Like many Singaporeans, she grew up in mortal fear of her Chinese teachers and flying dusters and still shudders at the mention of “听写”. Fueled by her thirst for a good bargain, Weiling decided to make it her mission to open the doors of Taobao to the non-Chinese speaking market – with the help of expert Taobao curator and all-around superhuman Sienna Song (who is incidentally busy getting her MBA). She will be at WordCamp to share about their (mostly painful) experience on WordPress. And to meet fellow WordPress survivors.
