Last week I had a post about What’s Web 2.0? Today I found an interesting vedio at YouTube which provides a clearer view about Web 2.0. Hope you enjoy it

Want to know what’s happening in the blogosphere in 2007? According to internet research firm comScore, Blogger had the largest number of unique visitors of all social-networking sites in September, but Facebook grew the fastest. Wordpress.com ranks 6th in this competition.

Yesterday the blogosphere was talking about probably the 3rd or 4th round of Google PageRank change this year. As far as I know the last time was far back in April when my Exploring Blogosphere got Google PageRank 3. Fortunately, Exploring Blogosphere PageRank still stays 3, considering I didn’t post for almost 3 months. My Sunflower Blog also keeps PageRank 4

But some of giant bloggers such as Problogger and John Chow, their Google PageRank were down to 4 How about yours?

Hi my fellow blogger friends, I found this funny vedio on YouTube and want to share with you. Have fun

According to The NewYork Times, Today, Google said that it had bought the Finnish start-up Jaiku, which makes a mobile phone application people can use to send short messages about where they are and what they are doing.

Founded last year in Helsinki, Jaiku specializes in mobile phone software that makes it easier for users to share updates about their whereabouts and thoughts. The concept, known as microblogging, is also being promoted by Twitter, a San Francisco start-up.

In the near future, you and me might be able to microblog through cell phones

Looking at my last post, you will notice that I’ve been lazy in the last 4 month. So what’s new in the blogosphere?

 My Google PageRank still stays the same -3; Alexa Ranking is down to zero. Anyway, not too bad at all considering I did nothing in the past.

In addition, I received more than 5,000 spam comments due to lack of anti-spam plug-in. When I tried to pending comment field, the site was frozen because it took forever to load those spam comments

I have to install an anti-spam plug-in –any suggestions?

Google is updating PageRank this two days and my Exploring Bogosphere now has a Google PageRank of 3. Pretty good for a 1-month-old blog How about your blog?

Where do you find the blogs you read?? Everyone has different answers to this question. Below is the survey result from VizuAnswer, an online poll website. What’s your answers to this poll?

If “Content is King”,  then “Theme is Queen”, because the first impression of your blog/site decides if visitors will stay to look around or leave right away.

Today I spent a lot of time looking for a new 3 column WordPress template. After I installed this Tech-O-Crunch Theme, I started to tweak the HTML codes and CSS and used PhotoShop to edit the header graphic. I like the clean & nice layout and the white & wide post area - very Web 2.0

Do you like my new template? 

If you like surfing the Internet, you probably have heard about Web 2.0

Based on Wikipedia -  Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O’Reilly Media in 2004, refers to a perceived second-generation of Web-based services - such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies—that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users.
