The Quality of Pings on PPS Lately

I've heard a lot about this lately, a lot of people talking about it, well complaining about it.

And it's struck me too, the quality of content on PPS has dropped dramatically, I guess it's inevitable for any kind of unrestricted system, as the volume increases, the quality decreases, the same can be said for music or TV shows or movies even.

Due to this the traffic generated from pinging PPS has also dropped, not that this effects me much as my traffic is about the same if I ping or not.

It also makes me lose faith in the blogosphere, and the quality..where are the good new blogs? Sometimes I read every ping on PPS looking for a new gem, I've found a handful decent writers in the past year or so, and even they aren't consistent. There are some good ones though (Pink Pau, Sabahan and a few others).

Why are the good posts by the same old people from the same old blogs.

Sometimes I feel like my blog is getting lost amongst all the crap, well honestly..perhaps my blog is just part of the crap.

I've been meaning to write about it for quite some time, but I never got around to it, it was really prompted after the whole 'Kahsoon' thing when a bunch of people started imitating his linkblog style and flooding PPS with crap no one cares about.

There are a bunch of new blogs doing the same thing now (e-globe1, TheTubeVideo, OffBeatEnough etc..).

I mean seriously if I want to see 'funny' videos I'll go to break.com if I wan't to see stupid pictures and viral emails I'll go to boreme.com.

All these pseudo pro-bloggers, then there are quite a number that just paste articles from other sites in a hope that they will strike it rich..

Easily spotted as they have more adverts than content..The 'original' content is usually misspelt and grammatically incorrect.

Quite a few of these have thankfully died off, obviously the creators weren't as motivated as they once thought.

Zzz boring all the same loads of pro-blogger kind of blogs alex allied, financially independant

Creating, running and having a successful blog is not as easy as it seems, it takes a lot of work, effort and in some cases technical knowhow.

PPS has also gotten flooded with myspace kinda blogs, journals about irrelevant stuff, no real content, just whinging, whining, emo..

These people have as much right to ping PPS as say Paul Tan or Mack Zulkifli, but really I wish they would realise no one really wants to read their shit, and keep it somewhere else.

I still do use PPS as I don't have room for everyone on my RSS list, so I check PPS to see if the blogs I like have updated.

I'd really like to see PPS version 2 come out, with the ability to block certain blogs, as some people like to ping 3-4 times a day when really they have nothing to say, they are just making a 1-2 line commentary and posting an entire news article.

Voting like SpyMy might be a good idea too, but well that idea failed as no one in Malaysia is interested in promoting anyone except themselves.

People just submit their own links and move on, they don't vote nor submit links from others sites or resources...but well that's another rant for another day.

I've kind of lost momentum with blogging lately, most because I haven't been doing much or eating anything different..

My traffic is at an all time low.

Should I keep blogging? What should I write about? Does anyone even care?

I've taken up a new hobby, photography! So pretty much everything has revolved around that, I'm setting up a new site for my pics, tips, photoshop tutorials etc..

Looking for guest writers too.

Internet Disease Part II - How to Be a Net WHORE

So here I was minding my own business when I heard about a post from FA that mentioned her, so I had a look at this blog, Kenny No-Coconuts did an aside about it before, Miniwhatever blogged about it too.

Well now it seems like it's my turn, this post is inspired by the alltime grand master of pain, Maddox, yeah he's my man! My little battles are nothing in comparison to his intergalatic missions of destruction.

Inspired, outraged, nihilistic STFUNESS of bombastic power, STEP AWAY FROM THE THESAURAS BITCH.

To quote:

Ever wanted to become a trashy internet cam whore, but you just don't know how? Tired of earning money for things the honest way? If you're shameless and conceited enough, then the exciting world of online prostitution may be for you. It's hard at first, but don't get discouraged. Being a cranky bitch and undressing yourself in front of a cam for middle-aged men isn't as easy as it seems.

There's so many of these cheesy fucking fancy letters on my pictures, look at me, write about me, look at me more, flash my titties blogs around now.

Of course Joyce The Fairy did the whole cool writing on pictures things first, and best, with style.

Now comes Emo, angsty, juvenial rich kids whinging about their losses..MUST BE EMO.

I just found out about the JasMANn school of blogging.

The Intellectual EMO Glasses : Maddox vs JasMANn

Emo Glasses

No pseudo-intellectual is complete without a pair of ultra-hip "EMO" glasses. Just put them on and let the smart vibes flow. A mere glance and people will be able to tell that you're the type of person who reads Dostoevsky.

Or if you are JasMANn, just quote some pretentious song lyrics no one has heard of and no one cares about.

I fucking hate these stupid thick rim canadian emo glasses, BURN THEM YOU ASSHOLES.

The Stupid EMO Poetry : Maddox vs JasMANn

Maddox:

fire... burning... agony...
sultry shivers of a dark essence
why am i tortured with this nihilistic existence?
bitter... darkness... despair.

JasMANn:

i will not love
i will settle for lust
pure unrestrained stringless lust
that way when the scissors fall like an executioner's axe,
i won't cut myself away into a chasm of dissapointment and endless hopelessness and dissapointment

From: Slit My Wrists

Can't write? Don't worry just Whore yourself!

It seems like..

"Oh I can't get readers, cos I can't write, so I'll get my titties out, simulate some blowjobs and get a bunch of horny net nerds to boost my traffic! Then I'll reply every comment with a new comment to boost my comment count, w00t, profit!"

Whore

I'm spoilt and you know it, clap your hands!

"And I must mention I'm rich and privileged in every post, oh of course I pretend I'm poor now and then and ask people to buy me stuff, I must play on my flaws, such as fake dyslexia and ADD (ADD is the 'IN' condition now, get some Ritalin now! It used to be in to be manic depressive)."

There you go JasMANn (Sorry I can't spell I'm dyslexic) - Seen as though you crave attention, a whole post dedicated to you :) If I didn't have ADD I'd make the post longer, but sorry I can't concentrate on you for any longer.

XiaXue hates ‘hate sites’ then makes one herself..

For those of you that don't care, just skip this entry :)

This makes me laugh, seriously.

She's getting dumber and dumber by the day, or more arrogant, not sure which.

I haven't really been following the whole debacle, but the pink poodle and two of her friends (Sandra and Sillycelly) have been having some kind of fight with another fairly prominent Singaporean blogger Blinkymummy.

Something to do with the Maxim photoshoot, yeah the one where XiaXue looks like a bapok, yeah the one she NEVER mentioned on her blog.

I think it all went wrong when Blinkymummy posted a picture of Xiaxue that wasn't photoshopped.

Not really sure anyway.

Then a well a while ago (December 22nd) which was right after Xiaxue cussed Kimberly and I on Kenny's site, a hate site was made, a very vulgar and crude hatesite, which somehow looked like Xiaxue's writing style, with some You and Your purposely changed to u and ur. I'm not going to dignify it by posting a link here, as I know many of you have already seen it and reported it to me (thanks), if you haven't and you really want to, drop me a line via the contact page and I'll give you the URL.

The best part comes when someone that uses the Bloglines service notices that Xiaxue's latest 2 posts were posted under the screen-name Xialanxue, not Xiaxue as normal.

Xialanxue (Refered to as XLX) is a blogger that has made an anti-xiaxue site pretty much and has lots of informative articles relating to the fuck-ups Xiaxue has made.

Xiaxue Bloglines

You can see the bloglines entries for yourself.

Seems like Xiaxue used another display name in blogger to setup the BM hate site, and in the middle of the night, perhaps slightly drunk forgot to switch her display name back to Xiaxue. Bloglines doesn't lie!

I found it terribly ironic aswell, that the post she posted under Xialanxue by mistake, was about how pathetic hate site owners are and how they have nothing to do. That obviously kicked herself in the ass as today on the hate site she posted:

Well hate site this isn't. It is just a simple webpage for personal bitching.

Remember, you guys are the ones who made it a hatesite.

It got onto Tomorrow aswell, (XX Expose) but promptly got removed again..

Thankfully it's made it on again kind of by proxy.

It appears Xiaxue is trying to impersonate XLX to defame Blinkymummy and kill two birds with one stone, cunning plan eh? Apart from her execution failed due to her being a dumbfuck.
