Read some good analysis on Aberdeen about why blogging didn't catch on in Hong Kong (as compared to China/Taiwan/Everywhere else) as most people still treat blog as a daily.

Of course a blog is not just a daily, it should/can be much more. But since it's a fad, all just jump on the wagon for "fun". The thing is, not everyone has the real motive to use blog as a communication tool for their opinion and such. Therefore, most people blogging just trying hard to find idea to put on their blog. Guess what, most such idea just conveniently come right out of our live (ie oh, wake up at 10 and it's such a shitty night when I go to bed @ 3am). The people that participate define our blogsphere. It is the same way back when everyone have their "Hello, world!" webpage, and it's the same right now.

A similar thing happen to the media; They see a pop cuture "Phenomenon" and catch on to put up a story to attach reader. That's just their job.... I guess they have that "instance" what is in..... and of course the reporting will be just on the surface when it's been treat as a fad.

To me, my blog is a technical platform for me to try out all technologies behind the blog (Ajax, PHP, Webapp dev). I admit that don't have much to say, besides maybe using it as a journal for snowboarding technical information for myself.
