Blogging, Wendy Cheng and Lor Mee.

I think bloggers have a certain power nowadays to influence the direction people move. If you have a blog, you will probably also have to think about the purpose and consequence of the messages you send out.

 

Wendy’s approach to blogging is interesting because she has created so much offline press that with that alone, she can generate marketing buzz. Of course, now that sponsors have pulled out of her blog, it also means that bloggers are vulnerable to the low income as well. Heh – most of them don’t know much about marketing, do they.

 

Blogs serve an important function of today’s Netizens. They channel the collective thoughts and ideas in cyberspace and leave knowledge there for posterity. With the collection of these thoughts, much of it is idle chatter, pretty much like the sounds that you hear when you enter a crowded hawker center. Most of it is meaningless, until you zoom into a relevant voice – like if you were craving for lor mee, you’d zoom in on the grubby guy in the corner of the food center and engage in a transaction.

 

I’ve only been blogging a while, but I do know that thinking patterns can be captured online through writing. That’s what I’m interested in! Hopefully, this blog serves to reach out to those who need some clarity of thought on certain issues. Then, to explore those issues and take action on it. Perhaps that’s the kind of transaction that some people say is ‘meaningful’.

 

If you have a blog and want me to link to you, write me.
