not too long ago, I posted an entry here regarding what we could earn from blogging of which can be summarized;

1. Make friends, lots of friends
2. Idea sharing, even on tiniest issue
3. New discovery
4. Recognition

oh, guess what, money is not listed. do you have any idea why?

you see, more and more bloggers are now blogging for money, but they forget things which first was beneficial to bloggers. it was not only money but something which is more valuable.

do you blog for money, or it’s just to complement your blogging activity?

there are few bloggers who even refuse to place any ads in their sites, now why is that so?

have you heard of this girl? have you visited her blog? the name of Aisyah Rozi is known quite well to others, web designing is also one of her activity besides blogging. this young lady is doing a good job in web designing.

visit her at aisyahrozi.com and you will find an interesting personal blog.

Smashin’ Popstar, the name of Jason Goh’ blogsite reachable at smashpop.net. The blog has thousands of interesting pictures to look at, captured by himself. One thing you should know, this guy really like jumping. prove? just visit the site, and you’ll find lots of jumping pictures! =D

and not to forget, he’s also the author of symbian.smashpop.net, review of symbian based phone by himself. lots of photos and videos for your view and review before you decide on purchase

anyway, back to Blog at Malaysiana.org, this is actually to complement Malaysiana.org itself (Malaysiana is a blog aggregator), and another reason is to continue my first atempt, blogging about our Malaysian blogger. it was first known as “The Blogger List“, which expose or review all Malaysian made blog found on the blogosphere. and here it goes, I shall continue blogging and compiling the blogger list..

you wonder what’s the use/different of Shout! since there are so many blog aggregators and ping site out there? I’ve been thinking the same too.. so why Malaysiana is here?

firstly, Shout! will run on manual submission only, at least for now. no ping, no aggregate.

secondly, Shout! is just a starter for Malaysiana.org. there are no other activity here, the site was up for more than one year, and it better have something as a starter.

thirdly, Shout! is trying to find quality Malaysian bloggers for the next project

oh yes, not to forget we are having a contest. write the best article about Shout! or Malaysian.org, provide any idea for future development, reason why you support blogging community,  and submit to admin[at]malaysiana.org and best article will win free 500MB hosting with domain!

oh, what can you do with Shout!, hmm how should I say? well as simple as the name, you can update your blog post.. register as a member, update your blog excerp and post! your blog will then have more audience and chances to get reader will definitely be higher, no?

do you expect more? relax and be cool, more feature will come here in Malaysiana.org and we are expecting to have more member by then. happy blogging!

For the first time, welcome to Malaysiana.Org, an online portal for the Malaysian bloggers community.

I’m glad to anounce that Malaysiana.Org is getting ready to go online. There is few projects under Malaysiana, but only Shout! will be released for now.

What is Shout!? in simple words, a portal for blog updates. Bloggers are welcome to use Shout! and if you’re lucky, you’ll get featured in Malaysiana’s blog.
