The Top 50 Most Influential Bloggers

*****
Note of the day: This week, office is having renovation and thus I have the luxury to “Work” from home. Working life is kind of bored now with no direction how soon things will move forward. I guess I am just not use to the easy life after being an important and busy member in the team for my previous job. Just hope that things will move forward here in the new job, and Soon I can be in the productive train again.

Taken from the nanyang infonet, the top 50 most influential bloggers’ site.

I do not have time to browse any one of them yet, but looking at the short review from nanyang, I did a simple stats and have the following findings.

The Findings:
1. Out of the 50, top category is Personal Blogs (11), followed by Politics & News (9),
Entertainment (5) and Technology (5) at the third place. It is understanble the popularity of politics
and entertainment news. But it is quite suprisingly  how personal blogs can become number one top category out of the 50 most influential blogs. They must have some really interesting stories to tell.

2. Two of the bloggers (in real life) actually got fired by the boss because of the blogging activities and that’s how their site become popular. (Blogger number 5 and number 36)

Do check out some of the sites if not all, it will definitely be an interesting time passer and do let me know your review of some of them.

A photo book!

I first used Mypublisher software, unfortunately it does not do delivery to Malaysia. Then I did a google on photo books availble in Malaysia. Pixart is the one and only that I can find, after a quick browse on the web site, I decided to give it a try.

Working with pixart was more difficult than I thought. First the two different size book need to be generated using two separate software, thus for undeciding people like me, it’s a problem of keep on switching in between and loading the photos in and out. The software itself is not that user friendly, however after a few try and error, average user would probably get the grisp of using it. Although the page layout is limited, you could actually use your creativity with the move, resize, crop features to customize the layout. This is something I only figure it out after playing it for the whole of evening.

Price wise, it is definitely reasonable, I read a few review on pixart, and apparently everyone is quite satisfied with its’ quality. I just placed my order for my Bali trip photo book, for a 49 printed photo pages of 5R sizes, it cost only RM74 including the hard cover, binding and delivery. That was a pretty good deal.

Now, all I can do, is to wait for it’s delivery…hopefully the quality turned out to be what I expected…
