BlogRush Syndication Network Shutting Down

Friday, October 31st, 2008

One of the famous blog syndication network – BlogRush is shutting down. If you still remember, my blog has been banned from BlogRush on last year October.

I’m still new blogger (1 month old) at that time. They decline my account due to too much promotion and not enough quality content. Since then, I never reapply my BlogRush account.

I’m glad AhTim.com is still alive while BlogRush is shutting down. Last year same month, I said “My BlogRush is Dead”. Now, we can say “BlogRush is Dead”!

Why BlogRush Dead ?

During the first year, BlogRush successfully served 3.4 Billion blog post headlines all over the world. Then why end up with closed down the service? According to John Reese:

  • Made many mistakes in deciding what blogs should stay or go (Maybe one of the mistake is decline AhTim.com?)
  • Never made a single penny in revenue (No revenue, how to survive?)
  • Service didn’t meet the expectation (Major factor to close it down)

No wonder the word “Beta” was there for pass 1 year. I doubt the reason behind this project. Do the founder build it for fun? What they want to do with all these blog’s information? Nobody know.

DELL for Sale !

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

DELL factories for sale! The Wall Street Journal says Dell plans to sell “most and possibly all of its factories” within the next 18 months.

You’re not wrong. Photo above is not fake by photoshop. It was taken at DELL Malaysia branch located at Bayan Lepas, Penang. Seems like DELL is going to shut down Malaysia branch soon. How many people will lose their job if DELL shut down?

Oh no. I just order a DELL XPS M1530 laptop. How about its warranty and support if DELL has been sold to other company? Anyone from DELL here mind to answer?
