Engadget blogger resigns, the AOL Way’s first victim
NO DOUBT THAT CONTENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, that's one of a few reasons people still reading blogs and checking out their social networking accounts.

Actually, blogging is dead (again)
THAT'S TRUE. It's like a term says that there is "iPhone killer" while the Apple's shiny gadget is still there. CopyBlogger writes: How many times have your heard them say that? They said it in 2007.

Why mobile blogging helps me most?
I'd just aware that I often rely on mobile blogging in maintaining this blog: while having a coffee or hang-out, business travelling, or even on my way home (thanks to my driver!). I found that around 70 per cent of my previous blog-posts are coming from mobile blogging! The reason behind this is simple: I always ...
