goblok, oops go blog MIC
May 28th, 2008 | Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe to poobalan.com by Email From a scenario where bloggers were either stupid or bored housewives, it has become a fashionable “in” thing. Ex menteri besars, ex prime minister, election losers, election winners, political wannabes, all have taken the plunge. But its not easy to blog. We have seen how Ali Rustam cheated by saying his blog had problem when in fact he blocked all comments on his posting. And the replies Toyo got for his postings. Now, MIC is planning to do the same! God bless them.
MIC should be informed that having blogs is not the issues, but how the media is used, the honesty and the willingness to accept criticism. A domain name is not a guarantee of winning back the lost respect and name.
First, MIC needs to update its website. Its latest news (when i wrote this piece) was dated 3rd March.
As for blogging, I hope it does not backfire and totally humiliate MIC in cyberspace. They must remember that they can’t bully nor intimidate anyone in cyberspace. Selective comment approval also will be easily exposed.
Samy should try to get some prominent bloggers to give they leaders a thorough course on blogging. Unfortunately, all the prominent bloggers seems to be pro-Malaysian and anti-BN. They have MIC leaders like Murugesan and Kamalanathan who blog, so should ask these guys to knock some sense into Samy’s plans before it becomes an utter disaster. Of course, I’m available as well 🙂
Or would they make use of third persons to run blogs on their behalf?
Err..before going on to cyberspace, it would be great if MIC organises language courses for its elected reps, branch and division heads! Let them communicate well in real world before venturing into cyberworld. » Read more: goblok, oops go blog MIC
Study show BN lost media war
April 3rd, 2008 | Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe to poobalan.com by Email The study did not indicate how the respondents were chosen, data collection method, and number of respondent for each age group. But if the study is to be accepted, then it means nearly 2/3 of those aged between 21 and 40 would have anti-BN views. Added with the probability that this group would have high mobility (thus able to convey things they saw/read to more people) as compared to those in their 50s or 60s, the BN did a terrible mistake by overlooking the Internet.
Minister accuse bloggers of bias
March 31st, 2008 | Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe to poobalan.com by Email hmmm…definitely not talking about me 😆 small fishes like me and (thousands more like me) is not the threat or problem for anyone. I think its the heavyweights who retain loyal readers and large visitor numbers who have major impact in recent election. » Read more: Minister accuse bloggers of bias
BN to engage in cyberwar
March 25th, 2008 | Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe to poobalan.com by Email What can we expect now?
The local dailies will be offering more videoblog ala Youtube, setting up blogs and updating news at breakneck speeds. We see The Star as one example of a Internet-embracing media, while Utusan, BH, NST, Sun, tamil dailies lag far behind. NST has been providing video feeds of late. So, we can expect more of the one-sided stories to be available online as well. More IT jobs for the young people! » Read more: BN to engage in cyberwar
