Project Petaling Street

An exciting new website launched a few days back: Project Petaling Street. It is a weblog content aggregator, meaning it collects (or receives, in this case) new weblog entries from dozens of Malaysian weblogs and displays them in real time. They’ve even been nice enough to let a Mat Salih like myself participate! I and about 20 others have been beta testing it for the last two weeks, which just means we got to play with it first; Aizuddin has been doing all the heavy lifting. Now that it has gone live, any Malaysian here or abroad can submit content. It is quite easy to do. Foreigners on Malaysian soil are welcome too. Check it out and see what’s happening in Malaysian weblogs.
f**k u guys

So why are you not pinging to PPS anymore?
I had trouble with the pinger years ago and never really went back to fix it. It was a decent idea at the time, but with rss feeds and whatnot, it doesn’t seem as useful as it once did. PPS should just update their format to pull rss from Malaysia-relevant blogs.
Leave your response!

Author and Professor Dr Jamillah Karim spent a year living in Kuala Lumpur. Read this great interview by Sister Brooke, and then visit Dr Jamillah's blog for a series of thoughtful reflections on what living in Malaysia was like for her as an African American Muslim, what insights she gained about the immigrant Muslim experience in America and more.
Granfalloon (n) : "A proud and meaningless association of human beings." A word coined by Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) in his book Cat's Cradle. I was recalling the concept recently for some reason but couldn't bring the term to mind. There it is: A granfalloon. The idea is illustrated in the book by a woman from Indiana who is just thrilled to meet Hoosiers everywhere she goes, a Hoosier being a name for people from the state of Indiana, but the shared qualities she recognizes in Hoosiers exists only in her own mind. Thanks, Kurt.
