A plug from Mr. Miyagi on Today ("Singaporeans, it is time to podcast your views to mark this National Day", July 5):

Created last month by Huichieh Loy, a recently returned overseas graduate, the blog is the group effort of eight contributors, including bloggers Kway Teow Man (kwayteow-man.blogspot.com) and The Void Deck (thevoiddeck.org).

These are what I would call "serious bloggers", and they write in a serious manner about the serious issues that affect Singapore and Singaporeans.

And by serious I mean ... well, here's how Mr Loy describes the blog:

"Our individual motivations for casting our lot in the project--I am sure--are as varied as our choice of monikers. But (if I may hazard a divination of a mood) each is drawn by the possibility of reasoned discourse and civil discussion on matters to do with Singapore."

Reasoned discourse, as opposed to what appears more regularly on blogs, could be what works for singaporeangle.com in terms of audience numbers (at last count more than 300 per day)--because satire, sarcasm and humour, as some people say, might be lost on readers who are not accustomed to them.
