A historical chronology of English language blogs in Malaysia
OK, the title pretty much says it all 
To get an overall view of the history of blogs in Malaysia, and my fieldwork, I've made a table.
Of course, this only represents what I know of, and the events and so that I was able to attend during my fieldwork. There are many many thousands of blogs out there, and I can never hope to cover all of what blogs have been to all bloggers over the years.
So - I'd really appreciate any feeback! Anything I've missed out, got wrong... please tell me!
It's too long to post as a table (or rather, I don't know how to convert the Word table into html), so I've uploaded it as a pdf.
Just to give you an idea of what it looks like, here's a screenshot - click on the picture to get the full version!

RPK: I did mention him, but not that he was arrested and all
Defamation suits: which other ones apart from Sheih Kickdafella do you mean?
All-Blogs: it's difficult to include that in a chronology, as it still exists in theory. Though I did mention the 'split in the blogosphere' (December 2008)
BN blogs: unfortunately, the BM ones are inaccessible to me... But you're right - any ones in particular you think are worthwhile mentioning?
Thanks again for the reminder. Since I posted this up I realised that it is really mostly a chronology of my field work rather than blogs as a whole. Although I did track the 'blogosphere' pretty well throughout, my focus shifted from SoPo to Lifestyle/Nuffnang blogs - mostly for practical reasons, i.e. there are too many blogs to track them all!
I will try to make it progressively more complete.
