If only Elton had his own way.
The other day Elton John made comments to British Newspaper “The Sun” about closing down the internet.
“There’s too much technology available.”
“We’re talking about things that are going to change the world and change the way people listen to music and that’s not going to happen with people blogging on the internet.”
“I mean, get out there — communicate.”
“I do think it would be an incredible experiment to shut down the whole internet for five years and see what sort of art is produced over that span.”
Quite ironic since he has an official website and indeed, he posted these comments online!
Introduction to eMenang Contest Portal
The basic idea of eMenang.com is actually to create an environment where every Malaysian can come, test their wits & luck to win something for themselves while having fun. There are hundreds or perhaps thousands of contest out there but we hardly know about it. Based on my personal experience, people will not share with others whenever they found out about any good contest. They will probably keep it for themselves fearing that other people might take part in it thus diminishing their winning rate. This is true in some way but then again, how many prizes have you really won by doing this? I myself has never win anything in my life but for me, it is not about winning, it is about healthy competition spirit with other people. If you want to win something, do you want to win it just by being lucky or by being the best of the best?
We can improve our contest industry. We really do. By sharing contest info with others and inviting them to participate, you are actually helping this industry to evolve. Imagine if you are an organizer and you are offering tons of cool prizes but it turn out only few dozens of people who actually take part in it. How would you feel? Would you still host another contest in the future? The answer will be certainly not. Eventually, this unhealthy attitude will kill our contest industry. This is the message that I’m trying to convey to the world. When there’s a lot of demand for contest, everyone will be happy. Who knows, maybe one day, we can have a contest in which there’s a prize for each and everyone. We never know rite?
*Noor Azlin Shah is the founder of Malaysia latest hottest contest forum called eMenang.com a.k.a MalaysiaContest.com. Up to 20 new contest will be added in the contest blog on a daily basis.
New layout and more…
New Layout
You might have noticed that I have tweaked the layout a bit. I think it looks a lot better now and not so plain. I decided to keep the same header because the matched with the current theme.
I’ve also upgraded the blog and installed WP-Cache. You will need this if your site gets dugg or slashdotted, unless your server is sh*t hot.
Microsoft’s Offer… They didn’t like my answer
A few months ago Micro$oft made an offer for my domain “Scrizzle.com” (the one I use on this site). First I was quite shocked and dismissed it. I thought it was a Nigerian scammer, but thought it was too well written (no offence). But I ended up laughing it off, why would Micro$oft want to buy my domain!?
This was months ago… Yesterday after writing the Verizon post, I decide to give the link to a few friends on my msn.
Here is a chat log I copied…

I tested it and tested it with an old MSN messenger account I had, seems they have filtered my domain. I guess they did make an offer the domain, but because I rejected it, they turned evil.
