Apple Fame
One thing that always puzzle me, are most bloggers Apple fans? Check out these metablogs:
- Popdex - Apple powermac stay at the first of popularity index, Apple Panther/iChat AV/iSight at 3rd, 4th and 6th
- Blogdex - Apple powermac news stay within top 5
- Daypop - PowerMac, Panther, iChat AV occupied the top 3 positions.
Whenever there is any news from Apple, it would sure getting lots of attention in blogland. Isn’t Apple just having 10% share of the computer market, or less? That’s weird. But that prove they are in fact really selling innovation, building reputation, selling images, selling brand… It’s amazing to look what they’ve achieved.
Or could it be just most of the bloggers using Apple? I don’t get the statistics. I’d rather guess may be there are lots of admirers too. I have to admit I am just one of them. I really want to own a Mac ever since Mac OS X released (well, it’s just way too expensive, if you earn a living in Malaysia). And of course it’s always cool when you’re holding a Powerbook/iBook, handing around in happening places within cities. Well, that’s how we people think, and that’s what Hollywood wanted people to think. Didn’t you see there’s always just Apple in movies?
OK, movies doesn’t mix with reality. I don’t judge movie by the computer they used. And yeah, I feel I like it, the Apple Power Mac G5.
