[ADV] Responsible Blogging Campaign by Crowpot and Ninetology


Blogging isn’t about pouring your hearts out and showing every nonsensical and even nasty thought of yours to the world as if you’re writing a diary. As bloggers, we have to be aware that our words are constantly being monitored and judged by the world. We should always blog responsibly and avoid plagiarizing, lying, framing, bad-mouthing etc.

What exactly is Responsible Blogging?



Okay don’t laugh at my video. This is my first time doing a vlog.

Everyone has different opinion about responsible blogging. For me, responsible blogging is about being transparent and honest to your readers, differentiating sponsored posts from editorial, and always giving credit when you share someone else’s contents. Always remember that your blog represents you and you’re accountable for every word written (I’ve learnt this lesson from my past experience).

It’s important to practice responsible blogging because it will increase the trust and faith from your readers and clients. By being a responsible blogger, you’ll also earn respects from others.

If you’re a blogger, quick go pledge now at http://www.facebook.com/NinetologyMalaysia/app_128992063920910 and you might win a Ninetology smart device!


This responsible blogging campaign is initiated by CrowdPot, a premium blog marketing platform that connects brands with blog publishers to create ethical sponsored blog posts.

Crowdpot is a new platform that enables brands and business to engage with bloggers and the online community with their unique thumb-tipping mechanism.

As I’ve mentioned on the video, the presenter of the Responsible Blogging campaign is Ninetology.


Founded in August 2012, Ninetology Marketing Sdn Bhd is an ASEAN mobile device technology company; strongly driven by people’s pride and importance of being on par with global technology progression and renowned international standards. Ninetology had proven its capabilities when the brand had emerged tremendously and had earned a significant market share in Malaysia’s mobile device industry. Ninetology’s objective is to transform the way of traditional communication into the revolutionary era of smart phones. This prominent transition will assure enhancement of people quality with enhanced intelligence. Ninetology was launched in Indonesia in September 2012 and continues its progression to other ASEAN countries.


Ninetology's concept of smart communication

“Our smartphones and tablets are only one portion of the core of our business ecosystem. Completing the system is Ninetology’s comprehensive communication package consisting of Connectivity, Content, Software, Hardware and Smart Ecology elements,” said Mr. Sean Ng, Chief Executive Officer of Ninetology.

“We are proud to be the first organisation in South East Asia to incorporate these five crucial elements in our integrated business model, and this is Ninetology’s biggest strength,” Ng enthused.

Ninetology believes in an integrated approach to smart communications and the framework covers connectivity with ASEAN Telco providers and mobile partners while all content sources and device applications can be customised for better user interface (UI) and user experience (UE).

Content and data storage are delivered and uploaded in the cloud for simplified management. Meanwhile, the integrated Operating Systems (OS) offer easy-to-use communication, organisation and customisation processes.
