18 October lepas telah berlangsungnya Seminar Smart Blogging di UTM Skudai anjuran Izad Blog Network dan WanMus Technologies. Laporan penuh di sini…
Seminar bermula tepat jam 9am dan berakhir lebih kurang jam 6pm. Sesi bermula dengan ice breaking dan Rohaizad menjelaskan motif peserta datang ke seminar dan mindset yang perlu ada untuk penerokaan dunia blogging.
Coverage seminar ini memang jelas dengan pengenalan tentang PR (PageRank), SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SERP (Search Engine Result Page), backlinks, traffics dan asas-asas blogging sebelum ke part yang lebih heavy lagi.
Selepas tea break, peserta didedahkan dengan niche blog network dan blog advertising. Manakala selepas lunch kaedah kaedah smart blogging pula didedahkan.
Perjalanan seminar nampaknya amat baik dan kalau diikutkan rasanya peserta-peserta taknak balik kerana nak menuntut dengan bro Rohaizad dan rakan-rakan blogger yang lain seperti Nuaeman, Shaffik, Boy dan Wan Mus. Rakan-rakan lain juga tak kurang hebatnya; ada yang pakar designer, photographer, cikgu English, Physics, Maths dan macam-macam lagi kepakaran mereka. Nice to meet you guys.
Memang banyak ilmu-ilmu baru yang aku perolehi dalam seminar ini. Ditambah dengan pendedahan pengalaman dari anak-anak didik Rohaidad; Nuaeman, Shaffik, Boy dan Wan Mus memang membuatkan aku terbuka minda dan bermotivasi untuk terus aktif dalam dunia blogging yang semakin hari semakin mencabar.
p/s: Blogger2 kat Perak boleh la kita gathering mana-mana nanti
Setelah beberapa hari tak online, hari ini sempat lah aku online sekejap. Kat rumah adik ipar aku ini kebetulah ada Celcom Broadband, so aku pinjam kejap.
16 Oktober menjadi satu lagi tarikh bersejarah dalam hidup aku kerana buat kali pertamanya aku menjejakkan kaki ke bumi Johor Darul Takzim. Perjalanan aku bermula dari UiTM Shah Alam kemudian menyelusuri lebuhraya Utara-Selatan untuk ke Johor. Bersama isteri, anak dan emak mertua, kami berhenti minum-minum sebentar di RnR Dengkil. Jam 11.30am kami meneruskan perjalanan ke selatan.
Hampir jam 3.00pm kami menghampiri persimpangan Ayer Hitam dan singgah sebentar di Universiti Tun Hussein Onn (UHTM) untuk mengambil adik ipar aku yang belajar di sana. Seterusnya kami menuju ke Pasir Gudang untuk ke rumah adik ipar aku yang sorang lagi. Kali ini adik ipar aku yang belajar di UHTM tu drive. Aku dah tak larat memandangkan dah beberapa hari ini aku asyik drive ke sana-sini sahaja.
Dalam perjalanan ke Pasir Gudang tu, aku nampak signboard ke UTM dan Skudai. Di samping membawa family jalan-jalan ke Johor aku juga akan menghadiri seminar Smart Blogging anjuran Rohaizad.com dan juga WanMus Technology di UTM.
Esok adalah hari yang dinanti-nanti. Hari ini tak tau lagi apa plan, aku layan jek. Lagipun aku masih lagi umpama kena jetlag setelah asyik drive aje. Huhuhu!
Saya jumpa dua video percuma yang diberikan oleh saudara Zamri Nanyan. Dua video tersebut bertajuk:
1. Mencari Idea untuk Menulis Artikel
2. Menulis Komen di Blog untuk Trafik
Kedua-dua video ini amat berguna. Ia menunjukkan kita cara ingin mendapatkan trafik dalam mempromosikan laman web atau blog.
Have you heard about the term Web 2.0? Probably most Internet users nowadays not realize that they have move one step forward in the Internet revolution call Web 2.0. In the early days of dot com burst, they used to call it World Wide Web as Web 1.0 and after that to differentiate the phenomenon of ich Internet application they use one more term called Web 2.0.
THE DEFINITION
The term became notable after the first O’Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. According to Tim O’Reilly Web 2.0 is the business revolution in computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.
Web 2.0 looks like a new adaptation of the World Wide Web, but it does not change the technical specifications of it, but it changes how software developers and end-users utilized the Web.
Terry Flew, in his 3rd Edition of New Media described the differences between previous Web and Web 2.0 as move from personal websites to blogs and blog site aggregation, from publishing to participation, from web content as the outcome of large up-front investment to an ongoing and interactive process, and from content management systems to links based on tagging (folksonomy).
The change from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 can be seen as a result of technological refinements, which included such adaptations as “broadband, improved browsers, and Ajax, to the rise of Flash application platforms and the mass development of wigetization, such as Flickr and YouTube badges” [1]
Just imagine during personal web pages were very popular in the early days of Web, and these consisted of mainly static pages hosted on free hosting services such as Geocities. Nowadays, dynamically generated blogs and social networking, such as Facebook, You Tube and Flickr, are more popular, allowing for readers to comment on posts in a way that was not available during Web 1.0.
SOME DIFFERENCES
This some typical design elements of a Web 1.0 site include:
Static pages instead of dynamic user-generated content.
The use of framesets.
Proprietary HTML extensions such as the blink and marquee tags introduced during the first browser war.
Online guestbooks.
GIF buttons, typically 88×31 pixels in size promoting web browsers and other products.
HTML forms sent via email. A user would fill in a form, and upon clicking submit their email client would attempt to send an email containing the form’s details.
According to Best [2] some characteristics of Web 2.0 are: rich user experience, user participation, dynamic content, metadata, web standards and scalability. Further characteristics, such as openness, freedom and collective intelligence by way of user participation, can also be viewed as essential attributes of Web 2.0.
CONCLUSION
Web 2.0 is social and let user control the data and information. Web 2.0 is about new interfaces – new ways of searching and accessing Web content. And last but not least, Web 2.0 is a platform – and not just for developers to create web applications like Gmail and Flickr. The Web is a platform to build on for educators, media, politics, community, for virtually everyone in fact!
Web 2.0 is all of the above things – don’t let anyone tell you it’s one or the other definition. Web 2.0 is about the people, when it comes down to it. So it has to be inclusive. The definitions of technologists, social scientists, web designers, philosophers, educators, business people, anybody – they all count.
