giuk net
Okay so it looks like Giuk.net is reaching its 2nd year anniversary soon and I am overhauling the whole concept of giuk.

Why? Well Giuk.net has been a loyal servant to many, many Sabahan bloggers by quietly retrieving the post feeds every hour. The bloggers themselves has nothing else to do. They just have to register once and that’s it. You don’t even have to go to Giuk.net, you just wait on your blog and welcome your visitors to your blog filled with ads. All the lonely worm asks in return is a link back to it.

Well this is where many bloggers didn’t keep their side of the bargain. A few random checks show that the majority of the registered bloggers didn’t bother to link back the site. Some placed the link on other pages as they prioritise their ads. Though most bloggers placed the link up after I emailed them, but soon when they change their theme, they will remove the link again.

And I don’t have time to check each and every blog there is.


Don’t ask me to develop a script, I’m too lazy. I am using a different ‘engine’ behind the scene so I’m not too keen to hack into other people’s script.

For bloggers who kept linking back to Giuk, thanks so much. You know who you are.

The place is also filled with each and every posts there is from all registered bloggers, including sponsored posts which degrades the site’s content. Probably incorporating a vote-up, vote-down style would be good, so we can give more exposure to quality posts.

So for now, I am closing new registrations for the service as I need to think of the best way to go forward from this. My head is gearing more towards a reddit clone or nuffnang’s innit style, something that would involve the blogger doing something extra (by submitting individual post).

However, I would like to hear from the bloggers and readers of giuk. What would you like to see on that site. Place it on the comments or you can send me email at mrbadak@gmail.com.

Will look forward to your comments and/or suggestions!
