Surprise…Surprise…Surprise

Posted by CJCM on 18th November 2006

There are two surprises for me today….although it may not be big deals for you out there..they are for me… :)

The first one….remember my post about eBay Explained 2006 where I had met LiewCF and Colbert?

I checked out my Technorati links today and found a new link to my blog from Ashruffz Reality Adventure. Well Ashruff is actually a fan of LiewCF blog and he had been listening to our (me, Liew and Colbert) conversation while we were waiting for the seminar to start. Poor Ashruff…he should have had the courage to meet his favourite blogger and say hi and join us in the conversation. There were a couple of other guys who did just that. All the best to Ashruffz and his adventure.

The second surprise… I have mentioned Wendy Piersall a few times in my posting, and that I am a regular reader of her blog called eMoms At Home. This morning I was there again and guess what? There was no Most Valuable Posts entry which she would normally post every Friday, but I found the Most Valuable Commenters instead. And my name and my blog’s had been mentioned as one of her MVCs. This is an honour really…I really appreciat her for that and to tell you the truth.. I have learnt a great deal from Wendy, not only through her blog but also from her advice which I had sought through email, although not very often. Thanks again Wendy…all the best to you, eMoms At Home.

And it might be worth while for you guys to check out the other MVCs honoured by Wendy as well … :)

Gobala and His 100PercentMalaysian.com

Posted by CJCM on 14th November 2006

Gobala
I don’t know exactly what Gobala is up to, but it must be going to be quite big, just by looking at his name and his new project….all 100% Malaysian. If you are looking for a Malaysia-boleh guy, Gobala certainly fits this stereotype well…in addition to other top Malaysian internet marketers such as Irfan Khairi, Saiful Hisham, Alang (he is a low profile guy but succesful..I learn a lot from him :) ), LiewCF, Colbert Low …just to name a few….and the list goes on and on.

Back to Gobala’s story…he is launching 100PercentMalaysian.com on 15th November 2006…that’s tomorrow guys….no wonder he is asking for help to drive traffic to his new site…this is great thing about internet. In short time you can reach millions of people, if you know what you are doing…I hope I do… :)

No I am not doing it because of free Astro Max Gobala is offering for top referrers (my site’s crowd is not there yet..but I hope is growing…please tell your friends about CJCM and IT…TQ) but I am doing it because of Malaysian Internet Marketers camraderie…if you know what I mean…we internet marketers are helpful lot..providing tips for free, promoting each others products so that everyone benefits….I hope I make my point clearly there.

So don’t forget to bookmark 100PercentMalaysian.com and be there first thing tomorrow…I can’t wait my self…Good luck Gobala!!! Malaysia Boleh!! (Malaysia Can Do It!!)

Me, Blogging, and Gadgetell

Posted by CJCM on 6th October 2006

Since I got involved with blogging…one of my past time activities on the net is…what else…reading blog. I came across a lot of different types of blog themes. I read personal blogs, gadget blogs, techology blogs, business blogs, make-money-online blogs, you name it..there are all kinds of blogs out there you can never read them all.

I recently saw an advertisement in ProBlogger for a Technology Blogger at Gadgetell, a consumer technology blog that regularly writes about, “Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things.” I checked it out and thought…why not give this one a try so I immediately shot an email to apply, referring them to this blog and PDAs Review as my ‘referees’.

To my surprise, within a week of my application, I received a “Welcome to the Gadgetell Team” reply from Doug Berger, the Editor at Gadgetell. I was floating in the air for a while….and landing to the ground a few moments later I realized that I have started a new chapter in my life.

I quickly replied to the email with all the necessary information requested by Doug and another few days went by. Yesterday, I finally received my login ID to Gadgetell with the instructions of how to post at Gadgetell.

I immediately work on my first posting and upon scouring the net, I stumbled upon a nice gadget that I like and thought why not feature this gadget in my first Gadgetell post. I searched for the device in Gadgetell and there was no post featuring this baby yet so I quickly spent the next thirty minutes on my maiden post.

The submitted post however must be approved by the Editor first so I was waiting anxiously to find out if they like my first post. Today when I visited Gadgetell, I couldnt be bothered to scroll down to see if my post was there, I just typed ‘iWear’ in the search box and hit enter. It took only a few seconds to show the results but I felt that must be the longest wait I have ever experienced for a search results to show.

Ta…taa…..there it was….the title “Grab attention with iWear for iPod Video” looked so familiar, still fresh in my mind because it was only yesterday I had worked on it.

I hope you enjoy this posting and will regularly join me at Gadgetell as well to find out what is the latest thing happening in the gadget world.

Thank you Gadetell for accepting me as one of your Technology Blogger.
