I am a blogger in Singapore and I am NOT controlled by the government
Yuhui said:
This group was created in response to a comment by well known American blogger, Michael Arrington. In a blog entry, he claimed that Singaporean blogs are (largely) controlled by the government. [...] it is more likely that there are many more Singaporean blogs that are NOT controlled by the government [...].

Darren Boon said:
A Facebook group, ‘We Support Siew Kum Hong’, has been set up to support Mr Siew Kum Hong’s bid for a second term as a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP).In a strong show of support for Mr Siew, the group, which was set up only yesterday, has 430 members so far, ballooning from 90 odd members to more than 400 members in a number of hours. The number is still on the increase.

Ghost of Hoax?
Juni said:
Remember the BMT gathering photo that sparked a big hoohah on my tagboard? The one with the baby very high up in the background?Apparently, my other BMT friend had the photographer take the same shot with another camera.
Wanna do a comparison?

Enter the Superblogs
Kevin said
What do Superblogs (like Boingboing, Huffington Post, or Tomorrow.sg) mean for the rest of us bloggers?I see two immediate positive effects:
1) to popularize blogging to the masses
2) to highlight salient news & opinionsI also see two possibly weaker negative effects:
1) to polarize the blogosphere where the popular get more popular, the lesser known get even lesser known; works like in-groups or cliches
2) agenda setting through editorial gatekeeping
