Power To Bloggers

Bismillahirahmanirahim

Greetings everyone. As an avid daily reader of other people's blogs, its inevitable that i would one day start my own. As of today, i am now officially the new kid on the block. So for my first post, i shall write about the world of blogging from a Bruneian's perspective.

Nowadays, you see more and more Bruneians starting their own blogs. It's an ideal way to express your thoughts and to voice out your opinions. Blogging used to be a way for young people to express their emotions and feelings talking about random things and their daily lives. Girls writing about how their days went and boys posting their football matches and their analysis etc. that sort of stuff. As time went by, you see a lot more blogs and then you get the new generation of Bruneian bloggers who are more mature and talks more about thought provoking topics. Even Brunei Times acknowledge the importance and presence of these bloggers. So now bloggers have been elevated to a new level. Bloggers are now seen as a new media tool, maybe a new way to reach out to the young people of Brunei. A way no radio or tv have ever done before. Kids these days as you all probably know have an almost unlimited access to internet either from their homes/internet cafes/hotspots. So its no wonder that blogs are now becoming more popular than they were before. The new in thing? I would certainly say so.

There are many bloggers in our country now but some of them stand out than others. Ranoadidas, Bruneiresources, LSM are probably some of the best of the crop. Well known bloggers like them who provide local news, interesting articles, hilarious posts on a daily basis with quite a considerable flair in their english writing skills makes their posts enjoyable and worthwhile to spend that half an hour of your day. There are certainly many others who are worth the mention but i will not waste your time on that as most of you probably have heard of them. Anyway, so that was my first topic about. Just a random thought from a young student living in a peaceful village. Thank you for spending the time.

Hail to the Bruneian Bloggers out there.

Salam.
