    OK. You might have missed #11 Blog for Beginners so I thought I just keep you update about it just in case you want to list the next top 10 list.

    Yeah, Facebook is ridiculously popular I hardly understand why.

    HaHa, good one Yan. It’s too bad you just missed the top 10 list.

    UPDATE: Google is no longer #1. It has now been replaced by “Technology For Non Techies”

    W00T I made the Top 10 list!

    And yes I agree, Facebook blew up overnight and people spend WAY too much time doing nothing on that website.

    There you go my friend. I could now follow up on my comment. You know what, I tend to refrain commenting on those blogs who don’t have that option. The reason is that it’s just too rude in my opinion not to response if there is a reply.
