Puttin' a little spice innit!

Okay, here are the interview questions for Yoon and Eun (how cool is that, their names sound the same!!):

BLOGGING AND SINGAPORE
Interview Questions for bloggers:


Do you blog?
How long do you spend in a week blogging?
Do your friends blog?
Why did you start blogging?
Do your friends share your interests?
Do you and your friends discuss what you blog?
Do you feel like blogging once you read other’s blogs? If yes, what/why?
If you were not within easy reach of a computer would you still blog?
What is the main theme in your blog?
How do you feel when you blog?
What do you write most about?What mood makes you want to write?
Do you blog sometimes with any one person/group in mind?
What inhibitions/lack of inhibitions do you feel when you express yourself in your blog?
Do you post art/poetry/songs on your blog? If so, why? Is it your own work or do you cut and paste stuff you like? What do you hope get out of it?
How has your interaction with your friends changed since they/you/both of you started blogging?
How did you first find out about blogging?
How much better do you know your friends after you started blogging/reading your friends’ blogs?
How has it changed how you communicate with them in person?
Have you seen a different side of your friends emerging after you read their blogs? What is it like?
Do you feel there is adequate freedom of speech in Singapore?
Have you ever had anyone confront you about what you wrote in your blog?
To what extent do you consider your blog “private”?
Why do you think there are so many bloggers in Singapore?
Do you think bloggers should be fully responsible for what they blog? Do you feel the need to write responsibly?


And the list for PK and myself. This list needs a little work, it's kinda sparse. I think some of the questions from the list above can be pulled into the one below as well, questions like "Do you think bloggers should be fully responsible..." and "is there adequate freedom of speech". Will see to that in a bit. Anyway:

Do you feel pressured at any time to blog? By whom? Why?

Questions for the one who doesn’t blog at all:
Do your friends blog?
Do you feel pressured at any time to blog? By whom? Why?
Why don’t you blog?
Have you ever wanted to blog?
