Back when I first started my blog, PPS was the major, primary reason I got decent traffic in the first place. And from there, I built a loyal group of readers and fellow bloggers, some of whom I’ve grown to know personally as real-world friends.

I started out blogging a couple of years ago and I was all alone in the blogosphere, aimless and lost. After a few months of blogging, I found out about PPS and started writing and pinging almost on a daily basis. I was euphoric when I received feedback from fellow bloggers. From then, my social networks had grown wider, in the blogosphere and in the real world. And best of all, I took up digital photography and now have my own DSLR after browsing other photobloggers' blogs. Today, I own a dot net! Thanks PPS and Happy 5th Anniversary!

5 years is a long time in the blogging world and its an achievement of sort. PPS set out to become what it was meant to be, a Malaysian blog tal that seeks to allow bloggers to publicise and showcase their content to other like-minded bloggers. I remember well when I first started blogging and got to know of PPS, it helped me built up my traffic and at the same time allowed me a window into what others were saying around the country. It was a privilege to also find kindred souls and good friends in the blogosphere and it was thanks to PPS. PPS hosts all kinds and it had its lows and ups but since its still here and kicking, it is only fitting that everyone who has ever taken part in it to give thanks for its existence as well as to those who went about making it happen.

When I was first come to PPS (Previous white layout) I thought it was some news web LOL! But then, after the changes and I joined PPS as well, until now most my traffic was by PPS itself. Nonetheless, PPS is the first thing I check everyday after my email checking, because it's simply the fastest Malaysia news than any other media! Of course bloggers in PPS are all very much appreciated.

It took me quite a while till i surf the site myself only to find out that the site is a blog aggregator. Back then, i didn't really use PPS service as i think that the things i blog (eg:today i woke up, i eat, i sleep...) was quite boring and i figured out that people wont want to read it. Instead, i'm one of the stalkers that stalked various bloggers who pinged their blog-posts there. I was really an invisible reader then. Going from blog to blog without leaving any footprint in each blogs.

I have been blogging for about 6 years and petalingstreet have been a great companion in showcasing my writings and works to all Malaysians. Its like advertising for your new shop. But in this case its free. Its like go to a busy street, like petaling street at the heart of KL and scream your writings or creations, and before you know it, people start to notice you, people start to come to your shop, and the best part is, people start to leave comment, leave behind their foot prints, making a mark on you. For this, it helps me to shape myself, imagine, I have the whole malaysia as my audience, and I have different kind of people giving comments. Happy Birthday Project Petaling Street, I would have been a different person without you.

5 long years! This is what Project Petaling Street (PPS) have been doing for our Malaysia Blogging community. My blog have not been there for such a long time, but PPS have been a great medium for me to spread my blog post to the Internet World.

I stumbled upon PPS from KennySia's site few years back, it had definitely gave a small time blogger like me to blog confidently, linking me to other big bloggers and assisted me in getting a decent traffic to my site. PPS is no doubt the best blog aggregator in Malaysia. Happy 5th birthday PPS and keep it up!!!

I started reading blogs way before I even thought of registering my own. Back then, the default source for stuff to read was all in PPS, and the sidebar of links to recent posts by people like sixthseal.com was still around. Some things in PPS have changed - that sidebar is gone, I've started pinging it, the flurry of spam came and left, the increasingly political tone of the pings. PPS was one of the first places where I realised that the online community was getting very political, just glancing through the blogpost titles. Now, it's still the place to go in search of blogs to read, and to feel out what's going on in Malaysia.

Project Petaling Street, or PPS as it’s faithfully known, a Malaysian blog-tal as it calls itself, is a blog aggregating site where many Malaysian bloggers are familiar. Most Malaysian bloggers gather their first pot of traffic from this site. It is celebrating its 5th anniversary this 12 June and in their words, “It must have done something right!” I agree that it could have done something right, but believe it could have done more! This is especially with the huge fan base that it has!

I started blogging back in 2005, back then, there were quite a few Malaysian bloggers already, and then there was PPS. It was (and still is) THE place for bloggers to ping their latest post, and come to find the latest in the burgeoning blogosphere. Most of the bloggers that I’ve come to know in the past 3 and a half years where through PPS.

People tend to say that PPS is a outdated aggregator, but I think it is a awesome aggregator which stands the test of time. It may have been around longer than the rest but I think it is still the best aggregator. People who comes here are just here to read and get their post pinged and not for some popularity contest which most of the other aggregator is for, which only result in flaming and fights. This is why I love PPS and it will be here for another 5 years and more. Thank you PPS and happy birthday.
