The Need to Know

I didn't find these articles very interesting...
Big Phone, Big Screen, Big Pleasure and Riding the Rails of Malaysia, in Singapore.

The first talked about things a not-that-techie girl like me doesn't understand. The second simply narrated what happened. It was lacking the magic words plus a good writer could do.

I didn't feel any connection.

What i found very fun to read were How I Used Tweeter to Live-Blog the Opera and The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved.

I liked the way Tweney described what he did and how he actually live-tweeted the opera. I was amazed with how he carefully used his words not just to not exceed the 140-character limit but also to let the readers feel that they were also watching the live opera.

It wasn't just merely reading what was happening, it was as if even I was seeing it in live.

Thompson's use of quotes made his article powerful. He made me feel curious as to what will happen to them.

That's what a good story needs, I guess.

Curiosity. Want to know. Then the need to know.

You just have to keep reading and reading until you already know.
