There’s no denying that hyper-local, citizen journalism website, STOMP is one of the more influential Singapore websites shaping the local Internet community lately.
Controversial and loud, the people who loves it swears by it as a daily read while detractors who hates it, refuses to click on the site ever and cringes whenever they hear the word “STOMP” being uttered.
In any case, I was still quite surprised to find a professional-looking “AntiStomp” hate site. The layout looks eerily similar to that of Stomp, except this site seeks to “Stomp the Stompers” and get them at their own game of citizen journalism.
I think this is an interesting development. I always think it’s an achievement of sort when you attain “hate-site-status” on the Internet. It means you are well-known. At least famous enough for detractors to bother operating a hate site whose sole purpose is to promote negativity about you. Just look around, most famous bloggers like Xiaxue and Dawn Yang all have their hate sites.
I will honour the day whereby someone start a “anti-alvinology” blog. Since it’s not going to happen anytime soon (due to my lack of fame); it explains why right from the start, this blog has another secret co-author, Antialvin – the evil nemesis of Alvinlogy. 🙂
