A WOMAN’S POEM:

Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who’s not a creep,
One who’s handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who’ll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he’s gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won’t be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door.
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who’ll make love to my mind,
Knows what to answer to ‘how big is my behind?’
I pray that this man will love me to no end,
And always be my very best friend.

A MAN’S POEM:

I pray for a deaf-mute gymnast nymphomaniac with
huge boobs who owns a bar on a golf course,
and loves to send me fishing and drinking. This
doesn’t rhyme and I don’t give a shit.

Advertisers Face Hurdles on Social Networking Sites

The moment I saw this headlines, it just reminds me of the local blog advertising industry - namely Nuffnang and Advertlets. The point is whether they are doing well or the advertisers in Malaysia plainly believes in the online ads that able to penetrate the niche market?

And when they try to take advantage of new “social advertising,” extending their commercial message to a member’s friends, their ads will be noticed, all right, but not necessarily favorably. Members are understandably reluctant to become shills. IDC, the technology research firm, published a study last month that reported that just 3 percent of Internet users in the United States would willingly let publishers use their friends for advertising. The report described social advertising as “stillborn.”

All Web sites that rely on ads struggle to a greater or lesser extent to convert traffic, even high traffic, into meaningful revenue. Ads that run on Google and other search engines are a profitable exception because their visitors are often in a buying mood. Other kinds of sites, however, can’t deliver similar visitors to advertisers. Google’s own YouTube, which relies heavily, like Facebook, on user-generated content, remains a costly experiment in the high-traffic, low-revenue ad business.

Financial data would show the current state of Facebook’s advertising, but none are available. Facebook is privately held and a spokesman told me that it does not disclose revenue or any information about its ad sales.

I have encounter this before. Putting up a similar sites like Youtube or anything that relies heavily on the ad business seems to be unjust recently. Especially when the cost to maintain the high traffic in return of the low revenue.

When it comes to ads placement, it does not matter whether where we position it anymore. Most blog readers and bloggers are immune to the ads. It is like we got used to the potholes in City of Kuala Lumpur and we become very good at avoiding it. Just plainly ignore it and continue with the blog hopping.

It has been more than a year since both Advertlets and Nuffnang inception earlier 2007. Their business seems to grow as the take up rate of bloggers and those alike increases. However, I am really wondering if the advertisers are really getting a nick out of their marketing on the online ads.

IMHO, I believe it takes more than just ads at the sidebar or the header to create the impact. Rather, web-advertorial or some event inviting the bloggers are among the ways to leverage on the blogosphere influence in Malaysia. Just look at the events they went and when they ping the blog aggregrator sites like PetalingStreet for example, it just generating the buzz.

After a week or two, the buzz dies off replacing with new one from different advertisers. What left is the links and only those links will remain…

Science Made Stupid

Under the Sun No Comments

Wish I learn it long time ago. Otherwise I won’t flunk the Chemistry paper. *sigh*

Introduction
Since the dawn of time, man has looked to the heavens and wondered: where did the stars come from? He has looked at the great diversity of plants and animals around him and wondered: where did life come from? He has looked at himself and wondered: where did I come from?

Later, he began to ask more complicated questions. He looked in his wallet and asked: where did my paycheck go? Am I on the right bus? Who do you like in the series?

To the former questions, at least, science has provided answers.

What is Science?
Put most simply, science is a way of dealing with the world around us. It is a way of baffling the uninitiated with incomprehensible jargon. It is a way of obtaining fat government grants. It is a way of achieving mastery over the physical world by threatening it with destruction.

Science represents mankind’s deepest aspirations - aspirations to power, to wealth, to the satisfaction of sheer animal lusts.

The cornerstone of modern science is the scientific method. Scientists first formulate hypotheses, or predictions, about nature. Then they perform experiments to test their hypotheses.
There are two forms of scientific method, the inductive and the deductive.
