Blogger down?

Rocky spoke as a discussant to my topic at a conference earlier this month.

While acknowledging that the cyber platform does have ample space, but it will have to be dependent on three players:

  1. People like Zam, who will want to regulate and stifle the blogs and on-line news;

  2. the bloggers themselves (who might be drunken with "power and money", or simply be bought over; and

  3. the hijackers, which include the mainstream media, which have the means to hijack the bloggers agenda by investing in blogs themselves.

Twenty days after he had shared his views, Rocky says he may be staring at one turn-coat.

Too true too soon (check Rocky's 01:46am remarks)?

The bloggers have an agenda? And this agenda can be hijacked?

I never knew ...

Bloggers' agenda? What is the motivation?
Read the letter below. Ask Zam if any of the facts stated is not true.

A 'letter' highlighted by another concerned Msian. Worth your time reading. I read it 3 times!!!

well, looking at the freedom of speech angle, he has every right to be a turncoat.

just like we have the equal right to call him a turncoat.

INTERNET does not operate in a legal vacuum.
