You know what? It's kinda disappointing.

But then I went to check, and actually, it isn't so. I have at least a thousand more daily hits than he does. It's just that less of my readers bothered to support me.

The Sony VAIO W mini notebook is the latest in the netbook market and retails at Sgd$899. Beautifully rounded and compact, it comes in 3 colours, like the neopolitan ice-cream; pink, white and brown. All these yummy colours have their matching mouse, pouches and accessories in the VAIO W series.
This ultra-portable baby tips just over the 1kg scale (1.19kg including battery) and is 1.3 inches thick. But this tiny thing packs enough punch with a whopping 160 GB hard disk, which to me is great because I had another netbook before, and even though I loved that it was so cute and tiny, it only had a 4GB harddisk space, which rendered it pretty much useless when it comes to watching/editing videos or photos.
The operating system is Windows XP, and it has all the USB and memory card slots one would need. And as with all VAIOs, it has a slot for my Sony Camera's memory card so it's so convenient to transfer and upload pics anytime, anywhere. Battery life is 2.5 hours. It also has a nifty little built in web cam and mic but of course, that is a common feature in most laptops and netbooks now.
This makes watching videos very pleasureable and not at all a strain. Another advantage of the VAIO W's impressive screen resolution is that you don't have to scroll sideways when viewing websites.
My previous netbook was a nightmare when it came to typing long emails or blog posts because I needed fingertips with the precision of a brain surgeon. Truly exhausting and vomit inducing trying to get work done. (If you're going to get a netbook of any kind, make sure you don't get one with a cheap, uncomfortably tiny and unresponsive keyboard. You will definitely regret it)
As with all Sony products, attention has been paid to design and quality. The superb screen size and quality, and fantastic keyboard will set the W series apart from the crowd.

I've fallen behind in votes. Like.. Mega Falling behind.
.
Bagaholic boy has managed to rally 400plus votes from his readers, and I've got about 200 plus. When I first saw this today, I thought.. wow.. his blog must be popular, he must get twice the amount of hits I do.
But then I went to check, and actually, it isn't so. I have at least a thousand more daily hits than he does. It's just that less of my readers bothered to support me.
.
This makes me worried now about the blogawards as well... because maybe I didn't get the support I thought I did. :S
.
But at least for the blogawards, I can't see who has voted. But for facebook, it's shown. The only thing suckier than not getting a vote is hearing some people tell me- I've voted for you babe, when actually, I went to look and they didn't. *sad laugh at myself*
But Life Goes On!
Spent the last couple of weeks with the Vaio W... and here's my video and review.
The Sony VAIO W review.
Even though I spend a lot of time on the computer, I am no gadget geek. I don't know what Rams are or what exactly they do. But what I do know is whether a product looks great, works well and enhances my lifestyle.

What does set the VAIO W apart from other netbooks however, is the screen and keyboard. The screen is 10.1-inches and Sony has packed in one of its tasty X-black LCDs, assisted by LED technology. Furthermore, it ups the resolution to 1,366 x 768 pixels – larger than the normal 1024 x 600 resolution standard. The colour and contrast are also excellent.

So I am extremely pleased that the VAIO W has the pebble type keyboard, which means all the keys are isolated. There is also decent spacing between these large and responsive keys. Trust me when I say - It is a dream to type on! (I have no complaints about its touchpad, it's soft and sensitive)
And if that isn't enough to keep you beaming, of course, there is the aspirational value of the VAIO brand. Be seen with the best, don't settle for less. :)

God.
Fitted. Cutted. Shitted.
I would like to point out that there are flaws in your logic.
Number of hits per day does not equate to fan/supporters. There are many people who are against you (as seen from their previous comments) who can't wait to read your posts and flame you instead. Hence you should not rely on 'hits' to determine allegiance to you.
Personally, I would like to vote for you but there are so many obscenities in your postings, and when I compare it with other blogs, the others seem more befitting of being the VAIO Ambassador.
I hope you take my comments constructively as I am giving a subjective opinion based on how I cast my vote.
Do you honestly believe that the majority of the 3000 people who come into Holly Jean's blog every day do it because they hate her and are looking for an opportunity to flame her?
I don't think everyone is a free as you. I come in here because I like to, not because I hate to. Doesn't make sense.
And since you are using "logic", then I shld let ppl know that the reason BB has so many votes for the Vaio thing is because he has bribed his readers with Angnes B stuff if he wins. So they are all voting like crazy, hoping to be the winner of the agnes B prize.

Being subjective and comparing the efforts spent into this ambassador contest, BB has done better in his reviews and photos - and giving away prizes is something he has done ALL along - so much so as giving away Balenciaga and Roberto Cavalli bags during his blog's anniversary. So people, please think before you spurt.
Furthermore, the prizes in question were sponsored and not bought out of his own pocket - which does cement the fact that BB is indeed a desirable and fitting candidate in the eyes of those said brands.
Anyway Holly, you've garnered quite a number of votes yourself too..which isn't all that bad. Not to be curt, but I guess its really too bad your readers just can't be bothered to help you out. Perhaps you should find some incentive too, everyone could do with a little marketing no? Just an honest suggestion.
All the best,
Kristy

To answer Kristy, well, its not snooping. the facebook comp is public, everyone can see the stats, and as for Blog stats, ranking etc, that is easily acccessible online too. It's not protected or privilleged info.
Is this a one off, or a regular service provided to you?
All I'm saying is do no take it personally and don't push it. There are people who love u and those who don't quite fancy u. Chin up doll. :)
but well, whateva.

anon 9.45 - okie.
anon 12.09- hmmm.
maybe publishing the readership stats wasn't the best thing to do? i honestly feel that BB has a larger readership and perhaps many of his readers don't need to check his blog for daily updates (hence lesser hits). i for one rely on content updates from his facebook notes.

I hope I did vote for you cos I clicked "like" a few times but the screen didn't update to show if I really voted. :P
Hey but it's over. Now, hope you win OMY blog award!
