Dear Nuffnangers,

Time really does fly when you are having fun!

With our busy schedules, Tim and myself, only just realized that Nuffnang was turning 5 this year!

This milestone, I might remind you, comes right after 500 bloggers from all over the region, descended upon KL for the 2nd Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards. A huge endeavor by both our Nuffies and the community at large.

Whilst I’ve considered that this might prove strenuous for our passionate Nuffies, I have still asked all 7 countries, where Nuffnang has a presence today, to mark the occasion with something special.

So, today (And for some others, this week), bloggers in Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Australia, Hong Kong, China, and Thailand will all be celebrating with us in one way or the other.

We have truly come a long way, but the work is far from over. Blogging is hard work. Nuffnang’s mission is to make Blogging an even more fulfilling endeavor.

This does not merely mean commercializing the space, but also building communities, and bridging them, helping bloggers get the recognition they deserve not just from their readers, but from the world.

Self-publishers, many of whom have no formal training in writing, journalism or the like, provide an alternative sense and view from the ground up, and have changed the world we live in already.

The question Nuffnang continues to ask ourselves is how can we go further? How can we aid this movement into becoming something more powerful?

It is with great pride that I announce Nuffnang is working on something we think will take us, our community and the blogosphere to the next level. Nuffnang will evolve, as we all must, and hopefully further fulfill the mission we set down 5 years ago.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled on this space, it will take some time, but we believe good things come to those that wait!

I will end this message with my favorite ending for big occasions, and that is “The Best Is Yet To Be!”

Best regards,

Ming and Tim
