Vutha, I gree with you may his majesty king’s father is the first blogger. Do you have any ideas how many blogger are there??

In my recent interview with an AP reporter i provide my guesstimate of around 1,000 but most of them are inactive. Is my number close to the real figure?

That is great, you were interviewed by AP. U will be popular blogger. Right? For me, yesterday, VOA interviewed me about Cambodian Blogger Summit. But I did not say more about it and i referred it to Virak. I told her about Cambodian bloggers and its advantages emerging among youths in Cambodia.

I have no specified figures of Cambodian bloggers. I used to talk with my friend who is the owner of http://feed.e-khmer.net told me that there are more than 300 Cambodian bloggers. I agreed with your estimated 1000 bloggers who are inactive. I think the not so much active Cambodian bloggers.

According to the Phnom Penh post report, it quoted figure from Global Voices Online as saying no more than 30 blogs produced by Cambodians, not counting expatriates and Cambodian living in abroad.

If you know more details about this, let me know.

That is the number reported from Global Voices. Now there are many newly created blogs in the last a few years. But most of them have not been updated regularly , as i know. Do you think that??

I agree that his majesty the king-father is the first Cambodian blogger, even though his blog seems being done manually (not technically or dynamically).
Anyways, I started blogging a few months ahead(august 2004) of Tharum, but I’m less popular *lol*

Anyway, not Wanna blog is not a popular one.

For me, I just knew term “Blog” or “Weblog” at the end of 2005. And then I created it at the beginning of 2006. As i agreed with u, more and more Cambodian bloggers are increasing from day to day. I hope there will be more bloggers to share their opinion, knowledge and working experiences with each others. By the way, IT is a tool for promoting communication in the present .

I am sorry i have no answer to your question because i have no data researched about it yet. But I think there are a lot of new Cambodian bloggers at the present. According to my previous comment, my friend told me that there are more than 300 bloggers. But i think there are more than this figure.

I hope other blogger will know this data.

I don’t have the answer about who is the first Khmer Blogger? I just have to think who is Khmer Blogger’s domain name? To use WHOIS eg. http://www.gandi.net/whois

It’s not sure that King Father is the first Khmer blogger

But it’s sure King Father’s website has really many many important historical and political informations about Cambodia evolution from 1941 till now, especially during his first reign(1941-1970) and his second one(1993-2004) that we (our generation) should learn from and analyze them.
