a Boomer's Reveiw - John Chow Dot Com

The following is my review of John Chow Dot Com back in 2006. 

Quote:
During the Christmas holidays,  I spent plenty of time reading the John Chow Dot com reviews.
There are six batches of them each batch with 10 reviews.  I read most of them.  I enjoyed reading them.  Among all these reviews most of them (over 90%) are positive and honest. commenting the format, writing style, writing skill and helpful personality of John chow.
 
These readers are now "the great fans" of John Chow and I am one of them reading, digesting and applying  what he blogs in his blogs.  We can find in some of these blogs the shadows of John Chow Dot Com with   respects to the format, ad placement, color scheme, etc.  

I am a relatively new blogger.  I came across John Chow Dot Com some time in September 2006.  I remember  my first impression when I came across this blog.   Um, the name John Chow Dot Com is  good title.  It is simple and easy to remember.  It shows John's great confidence in himself, his own name, knowledge, know-how, presentation and application.  The blog format is simple, neat and concise.  People   visiting the blog can find what they want readily. My second impression is from the red corvette.  I asked myself is this blog related to race cars or may be an auto-maniac on the driving seat of this little blog. But, this impression gone swiftly as my eyes was   caught by the tab "Who Is John Chow".

I checked on the tab and was hooked by the brief and lively description about John.  I began
to like this blogger.... a cool man with lot of passion caring for the living beings in his surrounding. 
I read more about John in his blog about Techzone and Techmedia.  He is a "big shot" yet so humble and eager to help those who may need help.

I bookmarked this "John Chow Dot Com" and from then I read this blog daily.  Actually I check it out
several times every day.  I like his Top Posts    I am an eary batch baby boomer and I am now hooked with blogs .... reading them,  blogging them, improving them along the continued learning journey.  I enjoy reading John's blog.  The reason is the personal touch which are missing in most of today's blogs. In his writing.  John seems very close to me when I read his blog.  It is a feeling of sharing his precious  knowledge and valuable experience which he let people shared unselfishly.
 
What he earned from his blog in 2006 he distributed them to his church and the world non-profit organization   for the kids and people who are less fortunate,   In these days, I don't find this helpful attitude around our neighbour, friends and co-workers.
Lastly, I wish the seeds of love and caring for others which John planted on the blogging field will grow
on our global village.
