Introduction

I just thought that a small introduction would be the best thing to start with. So, let me first start with myself and this blog.

Blogging

Many who have been using the internet for a long time are unaware about blogs and blogging even now. So, I have decided to start off with an introduction to blogging, and to have more informative posts following this.

Blogger Vs Wordpress

Undoubtedly, Blogger and Wordpress take-up the top two positions with all other blogging platforms way behind them. Both of them are famous for their simplicity, stability, and user-friendly nature.

Tsunami E-mail Hoax - Tsunami in Asia on July 22

Posted by Lance Quest On Thursday, April 16, 2009
I have just noticed that there has been an e-mail hoax spreading all out in the internet through e-mails and forums that drastic Tsunami waves are going to hit Asian Countries, naming Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia and Philippines to be the countries that are to be hit 'badly' by the waves.

The e-mail that is going all around the internet is quoted here:

"REMOVED DUE TO SOME ISSUES

There are many simple points to prove this right. Let me just spread some light on some I have noticed just now:
  • The e-mail is not backed with any trustable/creditable source.
  • The bad formatting of the message ,also leads us to think about it's trustworthiness. The e-mail of-course therefore originated from an unofficial source.
  • If we have have had any such prediction, then the News channels and other media would have been reporting it's details as soon as they received any announcement.
  • There is no connection between an eclipse and an earthquake.
These points are what I have found out, and there might be still many and more flaws. even if they were just trying to spam all over the world, they could have made it much better than this. Anyway, this has only been beneficial for us, to easily identify what it was.

So, regarding all these, anyone can easily understand that this was a hoax, and that they shouldn't be going around again spreading the hoax, and sending mails which should be flagged as 'Spam' based on it's content.

And anyway, above everything else, ther has been no official announcement about this.
