So indeed blogs are now commonly used to reach out to others as well as gaining some feedbacks and comments. Even our very own ex Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad don’t want to be left out and he started his own blog few days ago, 1st of May 2008 to be exact. You can visit his blog using this link. He bought his own domain chedet.com which is the pseudonym he used when he wrote articles for the newspapers.

He made his first post at 1.27am on the 1st of May 2008, at 5.00pm on the same day his blog has already received 10,000 visitors. The massive traffic to his blog is simply amazing as I don’t think many other new bloggers would have gotten 10,000 visitors in less than 24 hours.

Dr M’s first post was on the appointment of judges, he has than received 1075 comments (at the time of writing this post). Seriously I’ve never seen many blogs having 1075 comments especially on the first post. Dr Mahathir Mohamad can now be considered a celebrity blogger on his first day of blogging.

The above picture shows the total amount of visitors since he started the blog which the picture was taken not long ago, probably 30 minutes ago. How I wish I have this kind of traffic coming in.

Well I think Dr Mahathir Mohamad has chosen the right way to reach the people of Malaysia, never underestimate a blog as it does wonders. If you’ve not read or seen Dr M’s blog, you should visit his blog now.
