Monetisation of ‘blogs’

Posted by miuki as Blogosphere

Notice the blog advertising evolution in Asia?

An article in MEDIA that I got off ‘The eOK .network‘, dated October 5, 2007 (2 days before my birthday), had a 20 minutes interview Benjamin Koe:

My 20 minute interview ended up becoming a simple PR tip, but still good. The funny thing is that I didn’t even realise the article was out until my global CEO sent it to me. I guess that’s a good thing… right?

Why Benjamin Koe?

I work at Hill & Knowlton in Singapore as a PR consultant in the technology practice as well as the company’s new media specialist where I experiment marrying PR and the social media. I also co-founded and built Scoopasia.com, a free web resource for the PR and marketing industry in Asia.

That’s according to him of course.

Yeah. So that’s one of the reasons I assume.

Moving along.

Anyway, a good read and overview of the monitised Asian blogosphere. Interesting point to note: Malaysia seems to be taking the lead.

Also, interesting that there’s no mention of PayPerPost or those like it. Maybe the influence of those sites haven’t yet corrupted the Asian bloggers.

Okay. Basically the article and the entry itself isn’t my main focus point. The question here is… [ Click here to read more ]

My “Top 7″ Favorite Bloggers

Posted by miuki as Blogosphere

Everyone is posting about this (or rather everyone that I know of at least). Even my other me is into this whole “top 7” thingy. She has her likes, and I have mine. You’d expect that it’s different since our character aren’t exactly identical to begin with (apart from the sharing of a physical body portion).

No. 1 on my list is non-other then the well-renowned Monkey that my other half is so deeply in love with. Reason why I’m into his blog is because of the non-stop-chit-chat about World of Warcraft, which I’m so very much into.

No. 2 is of course my other half, Princessa. After all, without her existence, there wouldn’t be me!

No. 3 is most definitely Play Girlz, simply because guys aren’t the only players (so they say)!

No. 4 is probably Kotaku, everything about the blog is gaming I’m assuming.

No. 5 is rather unique. Apparently it’s a duet blog by Keen and Graev - Gaming related none less.

No. 6 and 7… Well, as of now, I really have no clue. There are too many blogs out there that are way too generic like my other half’s blog. It’s really hard to like or dislike so I can’t really say their my “Top 7” favorite.
