The False Blog

First, to write a bit of news here. Yesterday (or I don’t know what day; depends on the time zone) Google had four new products out: Desktop 4, Notebook (not out yet), Co-op, and Trends. Trends is the one I’m going to talk about. It shows popularity of certain search terms.

Today I’ve heard too many people talking about Xanga, in the English lesson, and after the cell group. I wonder really how popular Xanga is in Hong Kong. I remembered this Trends thing, so I decided to do a search of that.

Here is a comparison of the most famous blogging services I can think of. They are Xanga, MySpace, MSN Spaces, Blogger, and Wordpress. MySpace is not mainly about blogging, and Wordpress can be an open source program or a blog host, but they are just for comparison, so I included them.

We can examine the results now. In the Cities tab, Hong Kong is number 6, showing Xanga is far more popular than all others added up together. Next, Regions, wow, Hong Kong is number 1 this time, still showing Xanga is immensely popular here. You can also note that MySpace is indeed extremely popular in the US. Finally, Language. Hm, only English and Chinese? English represent most of the US people I guess. Chinese, we can assume it’s the Hong Kong people. It’s not important anyway.

Although I can’t conclude only with these Google Trends results, as I think most people in Hong Kong use Yahoo for search anyway. But with this we may see the “trend”, yeah. It definitely shows Xanga has a buzz here. My final belief: Hong Kong people use Xanga.

I haven’t written for a while. I’ve got a story to write, in fact. I had a dream one day and it was sort of exciting and dramatic, so I thought it might be a good idea to write that down. Rarely does one dream of a fairly good story and remember it after waking up.

Problem is, I’ve got no time recently. It’s like the time has disappeared. I’m quite frustrated. And I’ve got loads of homework! Fours days of holidays, and the teachers give away homework like mad. Like four days are a big deal. :/

Lastly, Ms Pig gave me a stupid presentation about the Chinese poet, eh, I don’t think he’s got an English name. I have to talk for 5 minutes. Winkey’s worse, she’s gotta talk 10 minutes. I don’t know what’s gonna happen that day. I’m not even sure when it is. I think it’s Tuesday though.

BTW I just found five spams in the comments of this blog. Don’t worry, you’re not going to see it because some kinda smart system filtered them. Very smart indeed. I’m satisfied. I remember I had one spam posted for everyone to see in MSN Spaces.
