Bloggers occasionally find themselves in hot water for stealing other people’s content. The hot topic at the moment with regards to blogs is the way the Associated Press has been dealing with people using its content. What exactly is “fair use”?
For anyone who doesn’t know, the Associated Press (AP) is a major news organization owned [...]

I think this video pretty much sums up the downside of social media. Twitter, while being a great tool for keeping abreast of what’s going on in the world, often descends into farce when people use it mindlessly. Most of us are guilty of self-indulgence with social media from time to time, but there are [...]

All right. I need a favor. I know this is a bit unorthodox, but I’m looking for bloggers who will let me guest post on their blogs. If you own a blog that is related to Thailand (any blog, no matter how big or small), I want to write a post on it to build [...]

After yesterday’s mini-drama, I’m pleased to announce that the top 100 Thailand blogs is back in all its former glory, only this time the user votes have been reset, which is something we’re just going to have to deal with. Don’t sweat it anyway. All the blogs are in the list. If there are any [...]

Today is something of a landmark day for me. For the first time in this blog’s lifetime, we have more than 300 RSS subscribers. This is a great point to be at because RSS subscribers are most valuable visitors to any blog. RSS subscribers are the life force of a blog because those visitors are [...]

Interior Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung is on a mission. On Tuesday, he announced that he would use a security law to shut down what have become Thailand’s top 29 websites, after several sources listed the offending URLs. Many of the websites have already been taken down by their owners, but some are still rampaging against all [...]

I often wonder how far ahead or behind the rest of the world Thailand is in terms of the technology that we have access to here. With widespread access to the Internet and online stores such as Amazon, i don’t think there is much difference.
After hearing several reports about the new Asus Eee PC, I [...]

I just started using this new web browser called Flock. It’s really similar to Firefox, but has tonnes of little gimmicks. If you’re into social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg and Pownce, check it out. I don’t know if I would switch from Firefox to this new browser, but it’s pretty cool to play [...]

You readers are a funny bunch. On the one hand, I’m glad you’re here, because I like being read, but on the other hand, you drive me nuts.
Sometimes I want to sit down with each of you and ask: what do you want?
The trouble with blogging is that you’re given free reign to write about [...]

The “top 100 Thailand blogs” has been doing its thing for about a week now. As promised, I have added Alexa rank to the metric so that the ranking system is a bit more rounded. I’ve noticed a few glitches in some of the figures, such as Werewolfs Lair apparently having an Alexa rank of [...]

You have to see this to believe it. Google Earth still blows my mind every time I use it, but the guys over at Pattaya Photo Guide have taken things one step further and applied similar, albeit scaled down, technology to a city. Instead of zooming in to a point from above, you can basically [...]

NOTE: Should work fine in all browsers. Tested in FF, IE6 and 7, Safari and Opera.
OK, I’m going to let you in on the project I’ve been working on for the past couple of week’s It’s a list of the top 100 Thailand blogs. I spent a long time compiling this list, searching for active [...]

As some of you have noticed, I have opened up a couple of channels for advertising on this blog. First of all, why would you advertise on this blog? Well, at the moment, the blog has:

A Page Rank of 5
An Alexa rank of 143,234
More than 600 posts
About 700 pages indexed in Google
More than 250 RSS [...]

Could someone with the Firefox web developer app take a look at my style sheet and help me figure out what I need to change in order to have a line break between each paragraph in a blockquote? Take a look at my newest post to see a blockquote. I want spaces between those paragraphs. [...]
