Greetings to blogging in 2004!
research imminent, I entertained thoughts of abandoning this newsletter and
webpage as I was already struggling to cope.
But I tend to encounter a lot of information and the approximately 1,000 of
you out there seem interested. The five-year old Habitatnews also serves a
specific niche which compliments the efforts of Nick Baker and Ria Tan who
maintain Ecology Asia and WildSingapore respectively.
But I had to find a simpler way to carry on.
Habitatnews began in 1998 with the appearance of OneList, an innovative idea
that led to a mushrooming of thousands of mailing lists. Once again, another
internet phenomenon would help Habitatnews reach out, and this time it is
the simple blog, or weblog or web diary.
There weren’t too many models around, so with the help of fellow macaddict
Bernard Teo, I started my own blog last year. I found it relatively easy,
quick to use and maintain with my macintosh iBook. So Habitatnews now
follows suit. The newsletter will be less frequent but more news will be
posted more frequently here where it will also be easier to display the
numerous digital photos and webpages that are emerging.
This blog also heralds a friendlier and more personal tone that many seem to
prefer!
Resource people have always helped out Habitatnews. But now, in addition,
I’ll be looking for Subeditors. Carefully chosen subeditors, for issues of
timing and verification, though tiresome, are important. Age will thus not
be a criteria.
