I was surfing the Net, looking for 'new born' blogs and news portal when I came across two interesting websites - stopthelies (a blog) and Jurnal Malaysia (a portal).
I also saw two familiar names who are directly or indirectly involved in running it - journalists Tony Yew and Noorhasilah Ismail (Asam Pedas) respectively.
Stopthelies is all about politics while Jurnal Malaysia is an assorted, namely news, technology, health, etc.
There is no exact figure as to how many blogs and news portal we have in the country but it is a positive sign that more readers are turning to blogs for fast and easy info. Although blogs are personal domain, some are really outstanding.
I personally welcome new blog writers to our blogosphere. My only advice is - keep out of trouble and avoid the courts of law.
