Meet the Team


Fang LinFor this first edition of Meet the Team, we sat down with Fang Lin to give you a little flavor of folks behind Zong.

Zong: So, what is it that you do exactly?

Fang: I write a little bit of code and I help people integrate Zong Web Payment Services into their websites and make money.

Zong: Hmm, sounds pretty important.  Favorite color?

Fang: Blue... no purple.

Zong: No Red? So what do you like most about working on Zong?

Fang: I dig the cool factor.  Not often one gets to work on a project where the customers' and end users' feedback is positive.     

Zong: I can dig it. And what do you enjoy most when you're not rolling out new Zong customers?

Fang: Hiking up a mountain. 

Zong: Errr, OK. Sounds hard.  Favorite movie?

Fang: The Life of Brian

Zong: Excellent.  Anything you'd like to get off your chest before we wrap up?

Fang: Nope

Zong: Mkay. In that case, I'll spill the beans for you.  Fang is pronounced "Fong"...as in "Zooooooong."  Nice!
Cool Customer
Small Worlds
Small Worlds is a new Virtual World that runs in your web browser.  They recently integrated Zong as a way for their customers to buy virtual currency.  That's pretty cool, but what's really cool is how they did it.  Check out a video demo to see how it works.  If you're not impressed, well, maybe you'll be impressed by this
