We’re on a mad testing spree, testing out all the paid to < insert something > services. This time, we’re getting paid as well - two birds with one stone. Onwards with the review.

*This is a sponsored post*

Bloggerwave is one of the lesser known paid to blog services in the blogging scene. Hailing from Denmark, Bloggerwave opened its doors early this year.

After registration and approval of Zhongg.com, we’re presented with 2 opportunities - each worth $10. Apparently, the opportunities given to you are based on your blogs’ Alexa score and Google PageRank.

It’s time again for another linkfest episode. Since the previous linkfest - where we brought you 31 Malaysian Tech Blogs - was so well received, we’ll do it again. This time, it’s going to be about Malaysian Food Blogs.

As Malaysians, there are few things in life that are more important than food to us. It is no wonder that the number of Malaysian food bloggers around are far more than tech bloggers. How much more? We scoured the Internet for hours to find the answer. We found 65 ACTIVE FOOD BLOGS! That’s more than 2 times the amount of tech blogs we found earlier.

Due to the insane amount of blogs we had to go through, the list you see below is not ordered. Our selection was based on the activeness and scope of the blogs. Therefore, we had bypassed some blogs that haven’t been updated in a long time or not really focused on food. Some of the food blogs are more inclined to recipes so we grouped them under ‘Recipe Blogs’. We’re happy to report that the Malaysian food blogging scene is booming; with a lot of quality food blogs out there. Thanks to them, our stomachs were growling throughout the searching process .

Time to update your blogroll. We present you 65 Malaysian Food Blogs

We’ve finally gotten to implementing a DoFollow plugin on Zhongg.com.

For the less technical ones, comments are normally configured as NoFollow. Meaning google won’t include the link when calculating your PageRank (some silly ranking thing for websites ). Basically, you’re out of luck if you post comments just to get more links to your website.

Being the generous PageRank 1 (First!) website that we are, we’ve generously allowed everyone to leech off the little remaining self esteem that we have as a website. Just post a comment and Google will love you long time. Yahoo will kiss you and Microsoft will slip into a sexy lingerie just for you.

There’s a catch though, you need to post regularly - at least 3 comments - to enable the feature for your comments.

For those interested to implement the plugin, get Linklove here.

We knew it was coming, and it came - Google buys over Feedburner. Almost everyone is delighted with the deal: Google, Feedburner, advertisers and publishers. You can read the announcement by Feedburner and the short post by Google on this matter.

We’re back. Problems have been plaguing our servers the past few days, so we didn’t get to post new articles. Meanwhile, our laboratory has been busy reworking our frankenstein creation, the feeds digest and giving it a new bride. Many thanks to those who have pitched in their suggestions which, we’ve taken into consideration when reworking the Zhongg Feeds Digest.

The feed url has been changed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/MalaysiaTech. To those who have subscribed to the earlier feed, the old feed will redirect to the new one, no worries :). We’ve hooked up with feedburner to provide better compatibility and statistics. The rest of the fixes are rather minor, best that y’all give it a go to see them changes.

Today’s linkfest is close to home (that’ll be Malaysia). I scoured the Internet, far and wide to bring you my virtual neighbors. A large portion of them were picked up from Technorati

So here they are, 31 Malaysian technology blogs that you may or may not know. Each is unique and the blogs vary in languages and focus. The list is ordered roughly from blogs with high ratio and amount of tech articles to the low ratio ones.
