Tim Yang On Offense

Against Motorola’s Motoblog website has struck a fireball against Motorola and NetInfinium, who developed the project. He didn’t come from all sides as his geekiness only was up to the level of so-called, business blogging.

In my humble opinion, if there’s no clear sign of trading or selling practice then how do you even categorize it as a business? I’ve got a question for everyone, how do you look at the Nike Art of Speed website, HERE [opens new window]. And to be transparent with everyone, that was what Motoblog was trying to achieve.

I felt Tim Yang also took personal punches at the bloggers who helped the project by providing a space in their busy schedule. He criticized that none of the articles written had any dynamism in it. Now, if I were to ask you, how many of you really find dynamism in a person’s journal type of blog and get excited? I wonder how many hands would there be.

Tim definitely went all the way through as he even commented on the photos that were taken by the bloggers. He said, “And the photos are generic shots of cars, food and other still life. Hardly “dynamic” stuff.” Anyone could guess what kinda dynamic stuff he was looking for in terms of camera phone photography. Does a blonde with a high slit and nice numbers count as dynamic?

Oh, one of the best part of his article. He even hammered the Terms & Conditions that was on the website. Does a geek really do all this just to fill their time? Gosh.

I’ve got no true way to end this article but it would be for the better because for a person who comments on a project till this extent:

So I hope Netinfinium, the web design company that has the Motorola account doesn’t lose the account just because of this experiment with the four bloggers (althought part of me thinks they deserve to) and I hope everyone learns a lesson. Bloggers cannot carry a business blog alone. Content is king and marketing is queen. If you have crap content, no one will recommend the blog and no one will return.

I don’t think he’s a person that qualifies himself as someone who accepts new ideas. As for those out there who’s done the same, it only takes one to create a rebellion but if you hadn’t any involvement in the project, all you can do is exploit the freedom of speech.

If you’ve worked with multibillion corporations, why not comment even on the clients you have online on your website? And also why not allow people to comment your article? Are you worried you wouldn’t have anymore freedom so you take other readers freedom away too? Oh yeah, guess what else Tim Yang the Malaysian does to his other fellow locals online, HERE [opens new window].

Does anyone want more? Google is such a lovely tool to use. :D
