Blogging on The Times
The feature on blogging by Stanley Borg that was published in The Times on 24 October is now available online. It is divided in two sections. In the first part, Stanley - a self confessed 'faithful blog reader', introduces the subject of blogging. He writes that blogs are 'a valuable genre of writing and the blogosphere is fast becoming the place to virtually be'. The second part of the feature is dedicated to commentaries by three Maltese bloggers: Sharon Spiteri, Jacques Rene Zammit and yours truly. Sharon, an insider at The Times for many years before moving to the UK, refers to me as 'the man who will be labelled the foremost blogging talent scout this side of the 21st century'. In return, I happily dub her the 'Queen of Maltese blogging' - long may she reign! Meanwhile, I continue to await Stanley's entry into the blogosphere.

*warning: blunt comment following* putting it plainly, i can't understand why you and sharon and all these Maltese bloggers who are into journalism consider yourselves as the talented pioneer bloggers in malta (it's like that you were the ones who introduced blogging in Malta). There were many bloggers in the underground, dating back to the year 1999/2000, times when you guys probably still used the typewriter to write your articles. I was one of these underground bloggers. Back then, blogging wasn't about writing about our personal live, or copying/pasting the BBC news and show our criticism. It was quite technical in nature. We posted tricks and hints for IT users, what we have discovered upon hacking this network and that, etc. Well 'naf said...long live to modern blogging. I'm running one as well! :) PS: there's no such thing as the queen, or king or grandfather of blogging...it's lame to use such adjectives
