i told him..i dont feel good reading blogs n blogging on the co's comp...then he told me it's not so badlah, people do more incriminating things like surfing P and checking on stocks..

but what do you know..i sometimes do feel like pulling the plug..coz i sometimes feel it is ermmm ...quite a waste of time? in terms of the op cost that you could do other things like make yourself a nice coffee and read the papers, the two hours surfing, i can go shopping, gyming ...or other things LIKE FINISHING MY REPORTS & NOTES!

but as you see, i am still hooked, eh.


They may have done a BIG BOOO BOOO with naming their person of the year..but at least they got it right in calling BLOGS as one of the things that mattered in 2004.

some excerpts from T/I/M/E/:

"Radio had its golden age in the 1930s. In the 1950s, it was television's turn. Historians may well date the golden age of the blog from 2004....

Here's what we discovered about the new medium this year"

1. Blogging Can Get You Fired
When Delta flight attendant Ellen Simonetti, 30—a leggy blond and self-styled "queen of the sky"—began her blog, she thought it would be fun to post pinup snapshots of herself in uniform. Delta wasn't amused and promptly fired her. Undaunted, Simonetti retitled the blog Diary of a Fired Flight Attendant and detailed her legal battle to get her job back.

2. Bloggers Can Be Fakers
Plain Layne, a highly personal blog supposedly belonging to a Minnesota lesbian named Layne Johnson that drew thousands of fans over 3 1/2 years before mysteriously disappearing, was revealed to be a hoax. Hundreds of fans helped track down the real author, Odin Soli, 35, a male entrepreneur from Woodbury, Minn. Later in the year, fake Bill Clinton and Andy Kaufman blogs became hits.

3.Most Bloggers Are Women
Men may have taken the lead in the early (read: geeky) days of blogging, but that's not the case now. According to a survey of more than 4 million blogs by Perseus Development, 56% were created by women. More bad news for the boys: men are more likely than women to abandon their blog once it's created. Call blogging a 21st century room of one's own.

4.Pets Have Blogs Too
It started as an in-joke among feline-friendly bloggers: why not post pictures of their cats every Friday afternoon? Friday catblogging became a hit, and soon even NASA was playing along by posting pictures of the Cat's Eye nebula....... "


these are some of the things the people at T/I/M/E discovered...not v surprising..but what did you learn this year..espcially you know..there were so many kekecohan and stuffs among the blogs this year alone?
