Project Petaling Street Under New Management

Project Petaling Street (PPS) as it’s known is the Malaysia blog ping aggregator. Malaysia bloggers ping the blog network to share their latest findings and it’s been around for a long time – more than 5 years. I’ve grown up with PPS as a local blogger and have once proposed a redesign back in 2005 -  a long time ago.

Then my friend; Edrei, shared the news with me. PPS is now under new management. It didn’t come as a shock to me until he mentioned the increased number of advertisements now on the homepage. True enough, there are now 5 ads on the homepage.

Anyway, PPS is now under the management of MENJ and his organization. He’s recently shared what Malaysia bloggers could expect of the new PPS soon.

Improvements wise, it’s definitely better to read because white always makes a nice contrasting background. There’s going to be a featured pings area and whether or not it’s a premium space, I’m guessing Yes.

As you might notice, the new PPS seems more monetized and there’s large chunks of space between areas – a little too large for me. Well, I can understand the need to monetize in order to support the bills of PPS.

But then again, is it going to be about the money or having a place for local bloggers to be discovered in the Malaysia blogosphere?
