.: ShaolinTiger - Kung-Fu Geekery :.

As of now (since I installed the sitemeter) this site has welcomed 1,000,723 unique visitors with 1,845,073 page views.

That's quite a sum!

Also check this out, especially for fans of Gossip...a scandal in the socialite Metro Manila world - I've met some of the characters in the blog before and I've been to the place mentioned frequently more than once (Embassy).

It's an expose by an Australian who allegedgly got conned in the Philippines by one Delfin Justiniano Montano, it features the Gucci Gang, a pretentious bunch of coke snorting rich kids like Celine Lopez, DJ Montano, Tim Yap, and Wendy Puyat.

Look at the insane traffic it's getting, it's probably since yesterday one of the most highly trafficked blogs in Asia! IF you want to read, make sure you read from oldest to newest. Lot's of people are getting exposed in the comments.

Apparently it's set Manila on fire and is slowly spreading through the Philippines - I wonder if the mainstream media will pick it up. It seems unlikely as Celine Lopez and her family seem to be quite influential and quite a few of them are involved with the media.

Thursday - 547
Friday - 6881
Saturday - 13,768
Sunday - 31,674

These are uniques too, not page views! I wonder how many it'll get today...and during the rest of the week as it gets spread around.

If you read any of the socialite Filipino blogs you'll probably recognise some of the people being 'exposed'. I do hope Brian gets his money back, I'd also be interested to hear the other side of the story as it's only one sided so far.

*UPDATE*

The story has finally reached the Philippines Inquirer (mainstream media) - no names named of course.

"Naming names: Online 'telenovela' indicts RP 'high' society"

The traffic is still going insane too with about 68,443 uniques yesterday!

Kinda brain dead from all the travelling..

Anything you'd like to see me write about?

Any questions you have about anything (me, computers, etc..)

Yeah, lazy, give me some inspiration.

I guess this is a quiet spell, I'm all written out.

I have to say I do use Technorati quite a lot, mostly as an ego tool with the nice watchlist

Da I can watch "Shaolin Tiger" "ShaolinTiger" and "http://www.shaolintiger.com" to see who is linking me or talking about me.

They are doing a great job of tracking the movements in the global blog arena, how many new blogs are formed, how often people update and how popular certain blogs are.

They do seem to have some capacity issues lately though as I get 'too busy' messages quite frequently and their "Last updated" was totally messed up for quite a while (It showed this blog as last updated 198 days ago..when I update it pretty much daily).

Darren Rowse of Problogger even bitched about it in January.

What I am looking at today though is the quarterly summary they do, which shows the HUGE increase of bloggers, and the persistency rate has also gone up.

What Technorati have found is that the number of blogs doubles roughly every 6 months! There are 60 times, yes 60 TIMES more blogs than there were 3 years ago (Technorati currently tracks 35.3 Million weblogs).

Technorati currently tracks over 75,000 new weblogs created every day, which means that on average, a new weblog is created every second of every day - and 19.4 million bloggers (55%) are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created. That's an increase both absolute and relative terms over just 3 months ago, when only 50.5% or 13.7 million blogs were active. In other words, even though there's a reasonable amount of tire-kicking going on, blogging continues to grow as a habitual activity.

In addition to that, about 3.9 million bloggers update their blogs at least weekly.

Some pretty interesting statistics.

ALL YOUR BASE AM BELONG TO BLOGGERS - w00t

I can't take all the negative comments any more..

All the horrible e-mails.

All the lies.

All the jealousy.

All the cliques.

All the haters.

It's just not worth it..

I Just

Any MORE

Better channel all my energy into something better right?

BloxExplosion? What the hell is that you ask...well it's a way to generate meaningless guaranteed pseudo-traffic for your blog, by reading other peoples blogs.

You can sign up at http://www.blogexplosion.com, click lots of blogs and earn me more credits so random people get to see my random crapola, yay!

Pimped from BE:

The concept is very simple. You read other blog sites and they in return visit your blog. Blogexplosion is the internet’s first blog exchange where thousands of bloggers visit each other’s blogs in order to receive tons of blog traffic. Imagine how many other people out there could be adding your blog to their blogroller and how many people would be reading your blog every day with this sort of attention. It’s free to use!

Pros of BlogExplosion
1. You will get more traffic to your blog
2. You will find some really interesting blogs to read/blogmark/blogroll
3. If you are bored it's a great way to pass time and find out some interesting stuff
4. You will gain a handful of new regular readers
5. You might get a few link backs if your blog is any good

Cons of BlogExplosion
1. You will get totally meaningless traffic (30 second sessions on average)
2. You will have to trawl through endless boring drivel about politics, how god is great and peoples pets
3. If you have important stuff to do you might find yourself having wasted 2 hours surfing BE instead of working.
4. You might run into some weird stalkers/trolls
5. Some nasty men might write a review on your blog and give you an inferiority complex

Some of the good blogs I've found:

1. Bryan the Funny Faggot
2. ZeroBoss
3. Some others which I forgot to blogmark..I will add them later, promise.

If you haven't checked out Xia Xue, I also suggest you do so, bitch is funny (Not found on BE).

Anyway BlogExplosion, I think it's worth it, give yourself a little press, find some other interesting souls to stalk, perhaps make a couple of new friends (I did), Hi Letti!

Here's my stats:

It's pretty hard to find blogs from this region, the large majority seem to be American, with a few europeans and people from other parts of the world.

My BlogStreet is finally working too, yehhaaa (although I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to 'do' yet), maybe might add some other geekish random bloggery stuff soon, Suan did an update today and added more crap.

Getting excited about the new year party, hopefully my TV will stay in one piece and more than 4 people will turn up. Rock on.

On a sadder not, the Tsunami/Quake disaster death toll is over 61,000

Sri Lanka: 21,715 dead
Indonesia: 32,828
India: 4,371 dead
Thailand: 1,516 dead
Maldives: 52 dead
Malaysia: 44 dead
Burma: 30 dead
Bangladesh: 2 dead
Somalia: 100 dead
Kenya: 1 dead
Seychelles: 3 dead
Tanzania: 10 dead

Now toted as one of the worst natural disasters ever.

I have some pictures I received via e-mail, but they are not nice so I don't think I'll post em.

Stimx called today aswell said they'll be coming on Friday, Woo! Broadbandalised at last.

Which is good as my laptop is still totally b0rked, with no sound nor modem...time for the dreaded re-install..need to get my other PC working first though so I can back up all my shizzle.

I called Canon about the dreaded E18 thing...but well I didn't understand a word he was babbling about. He's somewhere in Subang apparently..

Ciao for now dearies.
