Bloggers’ interview with The Doddle Blog

She blogs, not with text, but with her doodles and they won her the Best Hidden Gem category given out at the recent Nuffnang Asia Pacific Bloggers Awards.

Social PR chats with Yih Chien of dedoodleblog.blogspot.com to find out more about her and her blog.

Who are you? Ie what is your blog name and your real name. Why did you come up with the blog title?

My name is Yih Chien. And I am mastermind behind The Doodle Blog. The name of the blog is the best to describe the content of my blog. That's why I picked the name. =)

What are you? In ten (or so) words, you would describe your blog as: …

Funny and relaxing.

Why do we need you? Why is your blog different? What makes it stand out from the crowd? Why is it special?

I think every blog is unique. However, my standout point would be my doodles. I use to doodling to convey my feelings instead of words. It's easy to understand and it doesn't take a lot of time for the rest to understand my message.

Editorial Deadline? Ie when should PRs NOT call?

I am pretty much available on the internet most of the time.

Features list? Do you have one, and if so, where can we get it, and can PRs still pitch to you ideas that aren’t on the list?

Nope

Perfect story? First, what kind of stories does your blog run? Second, what kind of PR-generated or PR-related stories have a chance of getting a run in your blog?

My blog mainly talks about bits and pieces of my life. I would be more interested in tech products or travelling services.

Contact? What’s the best way for PR to contact you, email or phone best?

Email would be the best as I do not attend to my phone all the time.

What kind of stories make a great blog post?

Funny and easy to understand

If your blog was an animal, it would be a …?

A dolphin.

Do you do lunch/dinner/junkets? Why or why not?

Sometimes. When I want to save money!

Complete this sentence: You wish that PR would…

Contact me and sign me up for a contract. So that I could save some money for the future! Or perhaps sponsor some of my traveling trips!

What stories will your blog be watching closely this year?

No particular ones.

If you were a great novel, you would be…

I would rather be a painter! :D

Will mrbrown's post on Mr Tan Kin Lian's thermometer app "misadventure" promote technology ageism?

I am not ashamed to say I support Mr Tan Kin Lian as a presidential candidate because I believed in what he stood for. And when Mr Tan posted his "misadventure" with a thermometer app, I did shake my head in disbelief that he did that. Source:   http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2013/07/we-could-have-had-him-for-president.html Thinking twice, there could be a possibility that Mr Tan misunderstood how this app work. Most  thermometer app take data from various weather stations to display the temperature on it. Yes, the technology savvy will do a #facepalm when they read the post and mrbrown's post demonstrated it perfectly. Wrote mrbrown , "Maybe the former Presidential-hopeful didn't realize he needed to upgrade to the Pro version of the app. Then his iPhone would not only measure temperature, it would also measure current PSI (PM2.5 included), tell you if you are having your period, and cook instant noodles. Good thing he didn't try to measure boil

How UOB's Paper Trail Amplifies IT Greatest Security Threat

UOB required you to do everything on paper. If you want to change your mobile number for your banking account with them or for your credit card, you need to fill up a form. Yet, this paper trail represented a potential security fail for the bank - Human Error. So a bitcoin expert walked into UOB to open a bank account. The bank employee had to print a form from a online pdf document to fill in this bitcoin expert's particulars. When it came to entering the bitcoin expert's email, that's when the forgotten art of handwriting was the most obvious of the digital generation. Wrote Robert Capodieci, My name is Roberto Capodieci, as most of you know. and my email address is very obvious to decode. It is not a p4l_l337_s0u1@gmail.com, but it is a more obvious roberto@capodieci.com, thing that, right after reading my name in the same form, should come out easy. Still, a data entry personnel of the UOB bank (or of a service provider the UOB bank uses) entered it as roberto

Singapore radio personality in "hot soup" for reporting train delays based on Tweets?

Update - Hossan Leong has commented on this post to say " I'm not in trouble pls don't blow this out of proportion. Let it rest. It's getting silly. Thank you for your love and concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding." ~  Hossan Leong. Hossan Leong, a Singapore radio personality for The Gold Breakfast Show on Gold 90.5, was censured today for reporting on train delays on the Circle Line because he based the information on Tweets, rather than waiting for the official reports from the Circle Line operator, SMRT.  It is, however, unknown if the "warning" came from Mediacorp producers or SMRT. Tweeted Hossan Leong ,  OK...I reported it on air and now I'm getting into trouble for it?? The CC line is DOWN rite? I did nothing wrong rite? The SMRT Circle Line was reported to be down this morning during peak hours and started as early as 7am. However, local news only received official statement was received by the mainstream media at about 9
