Now, after 10 years, user generated contents became not just merely past time reading, but have became "referred trusted contents" by many. People tend to believe what they read what others says on the internet than people they know for ages. It became reference point for many:-
(i) to decided on holiday destinations and itinerary
(ii) to form and opinion and views on all matters including, life, business, politics and religion
(ii) to learn new things - recipes, how to... etc.
(iv) and the list goes on......
Is it too late then for me to start one myself?? To pen down the first time is always the hardest part. But then again, after just looking around things that happened over the past 10 years, everything seems to be moving very fast right in front of our own very eyes....what was not there then, is here now..what was a myth, a reality..what we thought can never be replaced being replaced..what were merely academics now being practical.
Just to give some idea how fast things move over the cyberspace |
Who would have thought the used to be number 1 search engine Yahoo being replaced by Google?? My kids don't even know the existence of Yahoo. And as I'm writing this blog, I received an email from my colleague, Tengku Farith about this new kids on the block that could change the world.... Check this out!! Startup Changing the World
See how what I mean by how fast??? What else have changed over the past 10 years?
This camera was found by my 11 year old son somewhere in my study room. He asked me whether he can have it or not. I told him that he won't be able to use it because the camera needs FILM and no photo shops near our place sell FILM anymore. FILM???? This is alien to my son...
Dialing Phone??? How do you dial?? We Press... |
The camera and phone are just few of many others. 10 years too is just too short.
What about community? Near where i stay there is this area which many today call the "Korean Town" and the "Arab Town". The Koreans have their own provision shops, supermarket, private schools and more than 3 churches within the same area. And the Arabs are not much less either. Ten years from now? I won't be surprise if they have political rep too..:-)
Anyway, my point is, it can never be too late. So here I go, my first blog.....and it will not be the last I hope. It would be my personal point of view on everything and anything. Do keep on visiting.....Sorait!!!.

ReplyDeletehmm.. alta vista... wasn't that something that Skali first mirrored in Malaysia? Those were the days gone by.
ReplyDeleteI was bitten by the blogging bug too as you can see here. It started for me in 2003 when i first joined SourceForge.net to participate in the Compiere ERP project. What bit me was when you could start threads and watch them go up in flames.
That got me notoriety and when i started my own portal of sorts at www.red1.org in 2004, it made me the leader of the bandits from those who oppose the commercialisation of Compiere in 2006.
Even fanatical use of Facebook got me deeper when friends there offered me free stay in Vienna, Praque, Paris and soon Tokyo.
Maybe the social urge is wired in our genes.
And about startups that changed the world, I know for a fact that even MOSTI does not try looking more closer at home. Last week i was at an ICT Strategic Roadmap meeting representing MNCC and i stood up to ask if anyone knows me and no one raised their hands.
