Work Whore loves a scandal. And these blog advertising networks have been nothing but scandals.From Blog2U, we had the mini catfight by Blog2u’s Paddy Tan vs Molemole, one of his staff. Or should i say, ex-staff. What’s the big deal over a resignation? The catfight died pretty fast, both (angry) entries were taken down really ...
Just when I thought it was just a boring Friday. No scandals, no catfights, nothing! Boooooring! I was just contemplating on writing some boring techy stuff when I spied some trouble brewing.So Andrew Peters was miffed that one of his commercial blogs was not allowed on Ping.sg. I thought it was rather smooth of Uzyn ...
I doubt that everyone would be able to earn much money from the blog advertising networks in Singapore since most bloggers do have a paltry number of readers unlike the top bloggers in Singapore who probably have tens of thousands readers. I’ve read numerous complains over Nuffnang and Advertlets and I decided that Work Whore ...
After all that hoo-hah, everything seems to have quietened down now.So what’s the deal now?What happened to episodes 4 & 5 of Blogger’s Treat? Has everything been scrapped? I did a quick check and I noticed nothing existed anymore. There is only a static page on www.treats.sgI think they owe an explanation to the blogosphere. ...
Poor Sisuahlai. He voiced out some woes like any other blogger and he has been banned and even threatened to be sued.Check out the post here. (pic taken from ShadowFox)Would Nuffnang start banning and threatening to ban everyone who “defames” them? Your guess is as good as mine.It feels like Nuffnang is a little boy ...
I posted a rather insightful entry regarding the PR industry in my previous and there wasn’t any comments at all whereas entries regarding scandals on Jean, Podfire vs Blogger’s Treat and blog advertising networks warranted many comments.I think it’s sad. Some of you guys think that scandals are horrible and how there shouldn’t be anonymous ...
After all the hoo-hah heard in the blogosphere, would anyone still want to work with Podfire?At first, Podfire announced a few shows like Blogger’s Treat and The Geek Goddess Show. Both shows did not turn out as expected however they had the support of the local community.Soon cracks started to appear. I was one of ...
Right after my previous post, my paymaster decided to send me overseas to supervise some company dealings. I was given only a day to get ready for my trip and I’m still overseas. It doesn’t help that my other co-writers (an introduction about them soon) are too busy too.Updates soon. I am so kicking myself ...
Sometimes you can’t trust everything you see online. Apparently a rape victim decides to seek vengeance online. She set up a blog with details of the rapist, pictures included.In her own words: This self-proclaimed “righteous” child of God who is unavailable for leisure outings on the grounds of Christian Fellowship (CF) activities sexually harassed me. ...
Having come from a rather relaxed working environment previously where one is clad in teeshirt and jeans all the time, it was a rather rude awakening when I came to my current workplace.Everyone here dresses formally. It’s always a long sleeve collared shirt plus pants/skirts combo. It was more of a culture shock. It wasn’t ...
I bet Contender Asia never guessed that this would happen to them. They were quick to impose a gag (or otherwise known as embargo) the media journalists that they had invited. The embargo was suppose to last for 12 days till April 24th.Straits Times writer Tay Yek Keak was obviously not pleased by this arrangement ...
How would you differentiate the two?According to Wikipedia…New Media is the marriage of mediated communications technologies with digital computers.Social Media is an umbrella term that defines the various activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and the construction of words and pictures. This interaction, and the manner in which information is …
While the PR industry looks glamorous to those not sitting on the other side of the fence, it really is a crock of shit when you start crossing over. Let’s talk about the lies that …
Why the huge exclamation you say?That’s because as mentioned in my Intro page, I feel that we’re all whoring for our trade.Today we’re going to pick apart the job called ‘Advertising and Promotions’. The job that is supposedly deemed as cushy and glamorous by outsiders but boy do they not know the truth.Life of an ...
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH! I have dabbled in a few different areas before. From Marketing to Hospitality to PR to Events to A&P to HR and most of the times, those jobs are not what they seem to be.As such, I feel that it is of great importance that I share with you the ...

My my… It seems that when I was away on business, the other “tabloid” blogs decided to go on a hiatus too. I didn’t know that I was such a great influence to them.A few questions here. It would be very helpful if someone could help clear this up. I haven’t been reading blogs since ...
Companies that is.Both of them have their benefits and drawbacks.For bigger companies, you get a better resume and usually better benefits. However, there are many red tapes and it is rather a hassle getting approvals on say proposals or budgets. It may even take months getting the approvals.Whereas working in smaller companies does get things ...
It’s Wednesday and it seems that there won’t be an episode of Blogger’s Treat today. What happened?
I’ve decided to join the blog-frenzy! Get ready to hear:- My personal blog entries about work and life- Some personal views about Advertising and PR. (I’m not trained in either but have a keen interest in them.)It’s not all business here, it’ll be more of casual entries. If we’re so serious after work, isn’t it ...
