1. NepalAdz | Nepal
NepalAdz describes itself as an SMS-based C2C online classified ads board. Ads can be posted to the service by sending a simple SMS – so you don’t even need to be online to do it.

Thailand has its own price comparison site. It’s called Priceza.com, and apparently it is gaining a lot of traction too, claiming to have over 1.2 million unique visitors per month.
3. TaoU | China
Leveraging on the Sina Weibo API, TaoU is a China-based startup that aims to help users find the right connections and content on their microblog network.

aBit Games is a Xiamen-based game dev firm on the southeastern coast of China, making globally-oriented and highly-addictive mobile games. Well, one so far.
8. Kezaar | Singapore
What do you wanna learn? Guitar, a new language, or cooking? Kezaar.com probably has someone out there offering their skills.
9. Ushi | China
Ushi shares its future plans this week and we can expect the Chinese LinkedIn-like professional network to partner with AngelList or introduce an extended service that works like AngelList.
10. Weibo Reach | China
Sina Weibo is a powerful communication tool. But it doesn’t offer much in the way of analytics. Enter Chinese startup Weibo Reach, which takes your tweets and produces awesome visualizations of their spread throughout the web, in addition to a bunch of other analytical data about how they are passed along.
11. Gongmin Guanzhu | China
Many government websites in China haven’t been updated in years, and others may contain fake information designed to trick you into giving money to hackers. So what’s a Chinese citizen to do if they really want to get in touch with their People’s Congress representatives? Thankfully, there’s an app for that: Gongmin Guanzhu.
12. Agate Studio | Indonesia
Agate Studio, a mobile gaming startup from Indonesia, has launched Football Saga 2 on Facebook. The sequel has a really important message for the players and for football fans in general, which is to unite support behind the currently sad state of the Indonesian National Team.
