I've been checking out Nuffnang's innit posts and I don't really get the big hoo-haa over alot of things, especially with fellow bloggers now "identifying" disgusting bloggers and thus ranking them based on how disgusting they are.
XiaXue made the topic hot back in 2007, ranking bloggers like Steven Lim, Ice angel, Maia Lee and even Lao Zha Bor. Her post is here
That did create an uproar and many weren't pleased with her post. However, the fuss soon died down and may didn't bring it up. Until recently...
It seems as though almost every blogger is trying to "gain attention/fame" by posting lists of disgusting bloggers so that people would read, and thus increase their traffic flow to their blog.
I'm not bothered about the traffic flow at all. What I'm bothered about, is the fact that everyone is coying each other, by listing bloggers as disgusting!
how would you feel if you were one of the those who is listed as disgusting? You may be thick skinned and shrug it off as the most hilarious thing you've ever heard. But not everyone is like that isn't it?
Besides, blogging sites like Nuffnang has aims and that is to bring fellow bloggers together, Not destroy everyone by having them blog about each other.
I don't really know, but I think the blogosphere is lacking originality and everyone is copying each other lately. Where have all the wondrous posts full of originality and creativity gone? Is this what is becoming of fellow bloggers?
XiaXue made it hot, but that doesn't mean you MUST copy her. Get your own Hot topic.

The next terrorizing blogger?
If you've been sticking to Nuffnang's innit posts lately, you would have noticed something going on in there. Apparently a fellowblogger
posted "Top 10 dub things ppl do to their blog", which has undoubtedly sparked comments flying all over.
Many have felt that she was unfair in her judgment. There was even a post that was replied to her, from another blogger
who disagreed to the previous blogger's opinions.
However, the first blogger realized that things were not going well and so, she created a video, clarifying her opinions on the post. (note: turn volume to maximum as it is really soft)
I do have some agreements with both sides of the party, but what ruined it, was that the first blogger actually did the video, which entirely contradicts what she has in her post. Besdies, why so garang? Some people prefer to do things their way for their own "style", and so i guessed they can be blame isn't it? If everyone were to have the same opinions, then the world, or rather blogosphere, would have clones instead of originality.
I don't know. But what do you think?

The next Dawn Yang , XiaXue and Xiao Yun?
I was blog-hopping through the net and I found this rather interesting site
I don't know if she had been through plastic surgery but she sure looks pretty to me! I never thought that Thais were fair. Anyway, just like Dawn Yang, she has received many criticisms. She was even labeled as a Dawn Yang wannabe. Well, is she?
Well, I got rather intrigued by it, and so I decided to google "Xiaxue wannabe". Can't hep it right, once you're famous, people will start checking things out about you. Anyway, here's the results. (I'm sorry if this has offended anyone. And if you are, then by all means tag me, and I'll try to make changes.)
Anyway, i found a site. Her name's May Zhee
Well, in her very long post, she actually clarifies that she and XiaXue are from two different worlds (more like two different countries) and throws in different occasions of being labeled as a wannabe, as well as her point of view.
In her post, she also pointed out a XiaXue wannabe who copied XiaXue by buying a Juicy Couture Bag for her dog. Yes her dog. Anyway her name is Cheesie
I've read through her post a couple of times, but I couldn't find any self-proclaimed "I'm just like Xia Xue" trademarks. And as far as I could recall, I don't think Xiaxue bought any juicy couture bag for her dog. I don't think she even has a dog.
Anyway, speaking of XiaXue.. Remember when XiaXue posted about the top 7 most disgusting bloggers
. This post has definitely set bloggers and netizens crazy about it.
Well, I know that many have tried to replicate her post, when the topic was hot. But only recently, while looking through princess taqinah's blog awards, i came-across this site
that labels 2 fellow bloggers as disgusting.
If you've clicked on the site, and haven't noticed, it's in Chinese. But fortunately, having learnt Chinese for the past 12 years, i'm able to read it! Unfortunately, my Chinese quite bad, so pardon and correct if i misinterpreted certain words. And let's begin.
"Among all bloggers, i feel that he's(Fauzi Rassull) is the most disgusting blogger.
His looks and even clothes are very girly.
Look at how he dresses.
Whether it's shirt or pants, it's still worn very tight.
But overall, I really admire his blogging style. His content is very good, and his posts are not bad.
This blogger is none other than Fauzi Rassull!"
Hahah, okay, I've left out the Steven Lim part, because I think even without translation, we all understand why he's disgusting.
Anyway, back to Fauzi Rassull. I have read Fauzi Rassulls's blog and I don't think that his dressing is that girly. It's not that bad what. I believe that he is not a trend follower, but a trend setter.
To me, I think that a disgusting blogger, should be someone who's disgusting in his/her blog. Someone who constantly blogs about how macho he is and how much girls ogle at him, when in fact, he's some fat, ugly guy who takes photos of himself while dressed in baggy three-quarters and a singlet, showing off his man-boobs. Now, That's disgusting.
I don't actually think that bloggers should be judged by their looks though, but should be judged by their content in their blog? No?
Anyway, it seems like my blog has been attracting traffic especially for Dawn Wayang
and Xiao Yun
post.
Maybe I should be a wannabe too. the next Xiao Yun? (no appropriate photo, so anyhow hantam one old photo in.)
hahah!

Blogging = Good or Bad?
The post today, is about blogging: Is blogging good or bad for you?
We live in a world where people tend to focus more on the bad side of things than the good. The internet, for example, has been a hot debate to whether it causes harm or benefits you.
When children don't do well in their studies, parents tend to blame the internet, and computer games for the bad results. Parents always ground or "ban" their kids from using the computer till they achieve better grades. But who or what is to be blame? Shouldn't the kids be blamed for not working hard enough, and neglecting schoolwork for games? Or should the schools, or even parents be blamed for continuously stressing out the kids, causing them to "freak out" or be rebellious?
Blogging is another big issue.
People gain fame (in a good way or bad) from blogging. Some, even benefit from their blogs because it not only brings them fame, but fortune as well.
I for one, don't necessarily blog for fame nor fortune, but for the mere fun of it. Blogging has been a useful tool for me, because not only does it expand my creativity, it also enables me to search for things/issues to blog about. I also blog-hop frequently. Thus, by doing so, I can update myself on all the latest buzz, be it in the entertainment industry or worldwide catastrophes. I'd say it's a rather interesting way to update ourselves.
On the other hand, a lot of people, including my dad are not huge fans of blogging. My dad thinks that it causes corruption of minds just from merely clicking from blog to blog.
Some blogs,true enough (it's either they want to gain fame from this sort of stuff or they think it's cool posting them) post about sex scandals and nude photos. People had posts about Paris Hilton's sex tape, High School Musical's Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens) nude phots.There were even posts about Singapore's very own sex diva: Tammy aka NYP scandal. I bet there's going to be more.
Posts like these not only bring unwanted attention to the victims(but I think Paris doesn't mind) but also to the fellow blogger who posted it. But it does increase you traffic flow though.Come on, who wouldn't click on a post with a title: "Crazy hot sex tapes and nude photos!!!"? Majority of us would, and to worsen things, amateurs who try hard to be accepted by fellow friends who have watched it, would click on it too, just so that they can be "cool" too, and discuss it together.
It's posts like these that are being circulated around and innocent minds and eyes are stained with "bad stuff".
So, is blogging good, or bad for you?
