~~ The amazing blogging scene...heh ~~
How dramatic can it get man...one of the most popular local bloggers Xiaxue has been hit by a hacker...losing all her past entries for the past few years in just a single night. My first reaction to this was...hey...I thought this type of despicable stuffs only happens in the corporate world sia...I am surprised.
I really wonder what she has done to deserve this...heh. Though not a real fan of hers, I am still peeved by the manner this particular hater of hers chose to exact revenge. In the first place, why am I even mentioning revenge eh...what has this girl done to him/her that warranted such responses. A blog is just like a diary to many...imagine having ur diary being stolen and in it contains your precious memories at specific moments of your life...if anyone were to do that to me...I really do not know how I will react. Perhaps many could argue that she was asking for it all along with her stinging remarks on issues or personnels and offended people along the way...but no way should anyone do this to another person...pure disregard of privacy and morals...what a sadistic world we are living in.
Its simply amazing to me that a blog online can generate so much attention and even cause a person to actually disregard his morals just to make his stand against it. How influential can blogging get man. Indeed, I find it amazing not only because of this particular incident but due to the many that found fame by simply typing away and posting it online. Just to name a few like Mr.Brown, Mr.Miyagi , KennySia. And of course Xiaxue. But fame is a double edged sword though. Look at what happened to Xiaxue...and also KennySia due to the SPG photo saga. Because of the fame they possess...the traffic flow of their sites comes up to thousands per day...Imagine thousand of people waiting to read what you gotta say everyday...amond these there are bound to be detractors who think otherwise of what they say...hence resulting in all these flaming we see.
However, let's not deny the perks they get from their publicised blogs as well. I am sure Xiaxue would be the first to agree she has found a niche for herself through her blogging. Getting endorsements....doubling as column writers...her blog have allowed her to achieve commerial returns from it. I have absolutely no problem with that. It certainly takes more than interest to convert your hobby into a career. I am impressed with the way she did it. And I am also convinced that alot of people are trying to emulate her model of success. Most failed though.
Kingmeng wrote in his blog that his site experienced a massive jump in visitors after his blog is linked to one of the famous bloggers mentioned above...heh...another example of the influence of blogs. I am not sure if its of coincidence or what...but for the past few days my blog have been experiencing higher traffic flow as well...though its not really significant. Kingmeng mentioned as well that with the higher traffic flow comes pressure to blog...simply because you know that whatever you write is being exposed to many who may not even know you at all...Is that a good thing after all?
To put it simply, my view on this matter is...if you are people like Xiaxue who sees a future in blogging...future meaning you are able to obtain returns that are more than satisfying your interest..go ahead and make it as well-known as possible. For me, I would rather my blog be kept simple and be read by people who are related to me....simple as that. I certainly do not like the idea of total strangers reading and commenting on what I say or do...heh...I would feel really weird...to make things worse...what if people hack into my blog and do all those nonsensical things to me??? HAha...I shudder to think... :pPp
