Rojak style reporting but who cares?
I have to admit that the reports coming from KL Chess Open 2008 unofficial blog is very unstructured and messy with some grammar/spelling mistakes here and there. The blog also is seriously lacking in terms ‘journalistic’ standards but I don’t mind. It’s supposed to be that way! The collaborative efforts of Marcus Yeoh, Hairulov and Gilocatur is a great voluntary service to chess fans by providing as much ad-hoc chess news as possible about the KL Chess Open. It’s THE place to go to to find reports, pictures and games of the KL Chess Open 2008. It’s good to see how web tools such as blogs, twitter, email subscription, online newsletter, RSS feeds all being fully utilize to provide quick information and publicity for a chess event. Old media such as newspapers is great publicity for the general public. New media such as blogs and websites is the way to go if you want the most recent updates. For me it’s a good learning experience so that in future, these tools can be used to the max to publicize any major chess event. Still, these are just tools. Without the power of human contribution, these tools are useless. Thanks must go to these bloggers for offering their time and effort so selflessly.
