I have added three widgets to this blog, of which some of you might have already noticed.

The first one being the Google friend connect social bar, which is placed at the bottom of the site. It allows visitors to join and discover each other, on top of sharing comments!

Click on the “join or sign in link” to join the fun! If you have any account associated with Google, such as that of Hotmail ann Blogger, you can log on using the same user name and password; therefore no need for you to register!

The button allows you to share the post you like with your friends — on different social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

It makes information-sharing so much more convenient! Instead of you having to look for, copy and paste the link into your social media sites, the trick is just a button’s click away.

Walau.

It seems that nowadays everything is instant. No wonder so many people are obese loh…

If you like this blog, why don’t you follow me on Twitter too? I might be a little slow in Twitter but I’m beginning to pick up!

I’ve decided to do away the Google Friend Connect social bar lah since it wasn’t very well-received and slows down the page load.

I came across Malaysia’s and Singapore’s only Twitter advertising network ChurpChurp via my friend’s TuaranBlog.

I had doubt on it as far as reliability is concerned, because there are a lot of advertising networks that are cheats and don’t pay. Advertlets has not paid me until today, and it has been two years since I cashed out.

Helped the sucky company to advertise in the end the advertising fee went into Josh’s pocket. I have 550 unique visitors (around 800 page loads) daily and growing and don’t cincai-cincai one loh!

After a round of research on the Internet, I came to realisation that ChurpChurp is actually a side-project by Nuffnang, and this immediately lifted my fear!

I’ve been a Nuffnang publisher for over three years now and although earnings are a little slow compared to Google Adsense, it really does play and not pay dirty like Advertlets.

It just seems to me that Nuffnang is keen to expand its empire of social network advertising by moving into various directions.

I immediately signed up for ChurpChurp as I believe Twitter, just like other social media such as blogs and Facebook, is a potential source for advertising and money. In fact when I said I wanted to consider closing my Facebook account, commentators advised me against it!

I have focused too much on my blog and neglected Twitter, so that explains why I have very few followers. With the number of followers I have now, I’m not too sure if I will be assigned any ads. Oh well… let’s see how it goes and I will update the results.

So far the ChurpChurp system has been user-friendly and it really does remind me of Nuffnang. Another thing I like about it is that users are given the option and flexibility to customise disclaimer. I think this is really important for those concerned about advertising ethics.

The only shortcoming to it that I can notice as of now is that it takes rather long to load, which can be time-wasting. Hopefully the admin can look into this prob and fix it soon.
