You read that right, Project Petaling Street (PPS) is maturing even more now. Lots of incidents have reflected back on bloggers, PPS and now Aizuddin has hatched out plans for a PPS blog and another secret project in the works.

It’s hard to guess what it is but I suppose it’s going to be something really big. He seeked 12 bloggers as ‘beta testers’ for the secret project. However, doing my weekend check on PPS just earlier had me wondering of a new panel just added above the SmartThumb ad called, Featured Blog.

Blogger of Footsteps in The Mirror by pledging and donating to the National Cancer Society of Malaysia from the Blogathon website.

And if you’re questioning why you should be doing so? I didn’t want to take your time by presenting all the types of researched cancerous stuff or show you haunting photos but just quote what Edrei told me in MSN. I mentioned about AIDS being worst than cancer and his answer was so clear that compared to his post on his blog, this just sums it up.

As much as we have offline politics ongoing about ‘AP Kings’, we have our very own blogger politics taking place. Though not as serious that it might change the car import system, it’s right now at a stage where it’s hurting others. Topping that, the political debate are involving favored bloggers with their annonymous number of followers.

I browsed todays InTech and Business Times (I think that’s what it’s called). Both were speaking on the same topic of e-commerce and its booming numbers. Much to my dismay, the article that spoke of the boom referenced to only the success of e-commerce in US. Now, when I read that article, it made me think.
