A Cambodian blogging bubble?

Tharum interviews Vireak.

Q: For a couple of reasons, you don’t consider yourself as a blogger. But what do you see yourself in the next several years when more Cambodians find blogging as a norm in their Internet activities?
- To be honest, I don’t really care whether blogging will be a norm in Cambodia or not. I don’t see myself writing online for too long.

Q: Do you encourage your friends to start blogging and/or keep blogging?
- Not really. It’s not like I’ll make their lives happier if I ask them to come online and start blogging or keep blogging. I’m not a believer in online life. To me, the happiest form of life exists off line.

Q: Lots of people say blogging is taking off in Cambodia. Do you think so?
- In one of early post of 2007 http://www.vireak.net/2007/01/05/2007-predictions/, I made a bold prediction that blogging bubble in Cambodia will burst in 2007. Like many things that become popular, it will soon fade off. I’ll stick with my prediction. I don’t know. My instinct told me so.
