Malaysian bloggers boleh

I looked at some blog directories and compared the number of Malaysian bloggers with that of 5 other neighbouring countries, namely, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.

The results are quite impressive.

Here are the figures for each directory:

A. RICE BOWL JOURNALS

1. Brunei - 30
   
2. Indonesia - 251
   
3. Malaysia - 855
   
4. Philippines - 1560
   
5. Singapore - 858
   
6. Thailand - 53

Malaysia is ranked 3rd here. The number of Filipino bloggers is quite impressive. Probably due to the fact that a lot of them are Americans whose Ethnic origin is the Philippines.

1. Brunei - 0
   
2. Indonesia - 11
   
3. Malaysia - 109

That's an overall average ranking of 2.2. The Philippines comes out on top with an average rank of 1.4. Singapore has an overall average ranking of 2.4.

NOTE:
- The number of blogs are correct as of 6th April, 2007.
- This is not a measure of the quality of blogs.
