Vista and The Blogosphere
February 2, 2007
Jalan menuju rumah saya macet total. Saya terdampar di kantor ini. Untuk menghindari kebosanan yang menumpuk akibat semua aktivitas yang sudah dijalankan, lebih baik saya nge-blog saja. (Pat, ini udah jam 10…tidur pat…at least makan gitu loh… jangan baca reader mulu Pat…)
Pagi tadi saya agak tersenyum simpul melihat artikel di The Telegraph yang menjelaskan mengenai rendahnya antusiasme blogger mengenai rilis Windows Vista. Mereka mengambil kesimpulan tersebut setelah melihat kecenderungan yang terjadi di beberapa web blogger yang masuk ke dalam “A-List”. Menurut mereka, dibandingkan dengan artikel-artikel mengenai Macintosh ataupun Linux, porsi mengenai Vista tergolong sedikit.
Apakah ini bisa menjadi suatu barometer bahwa penggunaan Windows tidak terlalu populer di kalangan blogger? Terlalu dini untuk menyimpulkan hal tersebut. Namun, melihat dari pandangan saya, setelah sedikit banyak blogwalking, momentum rilisan Windows Vista agak sedikit kurang mendapat spotlight. Bila dibandingkan dengan pada saat Ubuntu merilis versi 6.10 beberapa bulan yang lalu, atau pada saat Macintosh melakukan preview untuk seri MacOSX nya kemarin itu, launching Windows Vista tidak terlalu muncul ke permukaan (dalam hal ini permukaan blog).
Lalu, mengapa hal ini bisa terjadi? Apakah divisi marketing Windows tidak melihat peluang dalam dunia blogosphere? Apakah dari kampanye bernilai USD 500 Juta itu tidak mencakup strategi untuk membangun hype di komunitas online? Pasti ada, tapi mengapa kurang efektif?
Saya tahu, “Macintosh”, “iPod”, “Ubuntu”, dan yang terbaru, “iPhone” merupakan jargon-jargon yang deras berkeliaran di dunia blogosphere. Lalu kenapa jargon “Vista” belum menjadi trend terbaru? Saya yakin ini bukan karena Vista produk yang gagal. Mungkin Vista perlu waktu agar bisa masuk ke dalam dunia blogosphere secara lebih dalam. Hanya waktu yang bisa menjawab.

Okay, life must go on, right? So with the spirit of Sumpah Pemuda and the recent festive of Pesta Blogger 2007. I officially announce that:
It's just around the corner, not very far away.
The reason? Well you can say that I'm getting bored with Wordpress and I want to try something new. But trust me, I won't move it anywhere else in the future, I will use patvandiest.com as my main blog, always. I promise you that!
So please... please update your bookmark, I will forever graceful if you do that. But if you are reading my blog through my Feedburner account, worry not, I will automatically update the link. That goes to my other social networking related link.
I won't delete this blog, though. I will keep it as past archives of my writings.
So, sorry for this inconvinience. I hope you don't mind. See you at my other room.
Sincerely Yours,
Patrick Gerard van Diest

According to Scoble, some regular iPhone user has the same problem too after the update that Apple released. It's getting hotter now. :) - #
