Almost forgot my 2nd blogging Anniversary! It was on last Friday. I wanted to write this post ealier but too busy with new office relocation after come back from Korea.

Time flies faster than rocket for busy man. Two years ago still not very sure what blog is. Now not only me, but make my wife, brothers and sister started their own blogs too.

What I get for the past one year? Last year is much more better than the previous. At least achieve new step stone in make money online. Can’t remember in details, just show some of my new gadgets this last year.

• iPod touch 2nd generation
• Live SpeakR
• Nokia N82
• Nikon D60
• some pocket money

In fact I wanted to buy my dream laptop – MacBook as a gift for myself during this anniversary month. Due to money constrain after Korea trip, have to postpone (more…)

This is my number 555th blog post! I consider myself a frequent blogger to write 555 posts in less than 2 years. To be exact, one more month to 2 years.

I should write this post at 500th post but forget to do so. So wait till this nice number. This is good milestone before breakthrough 1000 posts!

Should I QUIT blogging? I ask myself twice today. Why I ask myself such question? Six months ago, New York Times said Blogging is Dangerous. And now,Wired Magazine say Twitter, Flickr, Facebook make blogs look so “2004″. The author said:

Thinking about launching your own blog? Here’s some friendly advice: Don’t. And if you’ve already got one, pull the plug.

Reasons to QUIT Blogging

In that article, the author give few reasons to quit blogging.

1) Impersonal – He mentioned the author of Weblogs network, Jason Calacanis annouced his retirement from blogging 3 months ago. In Jason’s blog, he said the main reason he quit was because blogging is impersonal. I look at this statement, it is not a problem at all. Blogger have right to turn on “private blog” then others can read your “personal” article. But for me, blog is not only write, it also a sharing media. If not for sharing, better write article in Word and save only on computer?

Another point, the author don’t know Jason is microblogging at twitter? (@jasoncalacanis) In fact I follow him at twitter for more than 6 months and he is quite active. As a result, Jason is NOT totally quit from blogging.

2) Google search result -He not satisfy with the Google search result. A post can quickly skyrocketing to the top of Google search result when blogging was young. Now no more. Well, I say Google has formula or algorithm to decide the ranking for search keyword (by PR, traffics, linkbacks). Unless he don’t want to use Google? Quite funny reason huh?

Not all blogger blogging for traffics. Some blog for fun, blog for hobby, blog for social. Does that mean they don’t have right to tell people their thoughts? No. So I doubt the author’s motive to stop people from blogging. (more…)

Today, 11th September 2008 is a memorial day for 9-11 victims of terrorist attrack at US World Trade Centre. Its also my very 1st Blogging  Anniversary! As I always say, time flies too fast. Yes, can’t imagine I’ve been blogging here for exactly one year.

What I get for the past one year? Well, I prove to myself that make money online is workable. I manage to make some money to upgrade stuffs. I’m saving money to buy gadget too. Also, I’ve won a lovely sleek iPod touch! The stuffs I got from blogging listed below

• iPod touch
• Sonic Gear Evo III Pro
• FM Transmitter for iPod
• TMNet Streamyx
• Spectacles
• some pocket money

I got all items above for Free! (Yeah, I like free things!). Or I should say it is from my hard work of blogging. There is no free meal in this world. (more…)

As a serious blogger, I’ll try my best to provide continuous valuable content for my reader, you. Sometime I do not publish new post. Why? Because I only deliver quality content!

And you know, I am not all time blogging person. I enjoy do other things online too. So, what I did while not blogging? What you should do while not blogging?

• Read Others Blog – I believe a good blogger always a good reader. I learn and love to read others blog often. So, I’ve subscribed hundreds of blogs that I think should benefit my own reading. Not only read post, but also post comment to voice out opinion.
• Social Network – This is another thing I like to do recently. I do not know about StumbleUpon, Digg and FaceBook before become a blogger. Now I know its a very good social media for us to rambling around the Internet.

I get to know many online friends. Also got useful info about anything and everything, especially on stumble upon and digg. Sometime I accidentally get tons of traffics if post get duggs! (more…)
