Internet Slowdown?


I don’t know what’s up (or what’s down?) with the internet today. Some GMail systems can’t be reached. Even Yahoo! is acting flaky. Or it could be an ISP-related issue here in the Philippines.

If this keeps up, I’ll just ask my friends to leave comments in the blog. If they just send email, who knows when we’ll be able to open our inbox.

    I wonder why the comment box is “obliterated” in the blog post “Obliterated: An Anti Pangandaman Blogger…”

    So that bloggers can express their comments in their own blogs, and then have the trackbacks appear beneath the “Obliterated…” blog post.

    Thanks! Most interesting… What Jakob Nielsen said is probably true. People don’t read on the web; they skim.

    Skim only? Probably.

    I find the Search and Find features most interesting and most useful for my readings.

    Bilocano’s post here could also be true.

    Thanks, Bay! How interesting to see earlier versions of blog posts, and how they evolve (without disclosure) over time.

    [EDIT: I'm referring to the post of bilocano in the sentence above.]

    Some bloggers tend to read too fast and assume that their freedom to express themselves or even edit their blog posts is under attack. They conveniently skirt the issue of credibility in blogging.

    Oh well. A high profile blogger is a high profile blogger. :-)
