The news are the same, only the amount (of news) are less as only selected news were replicated on the website.
There was no official launching, no news being circulated, not even on the hard-copy version of Berita Kampus (as far as my eyes can rover/scan through the pages).
Well, not even through word-of-mouth, until I knew it from an official meeting called about 3 weeks ago.
You can view the pages here.
So, unofficially the BK Online version has been on the web for the past 3 weeks. I assume it is so, because if you consider the first issue of BK this semester which was distributed on 18 January 2010, then the unofficial launching date of the web also runs concurrently with this 7th issue of Berita Kampus.
It is too early to give a complete analysis of whether this web version of BK has gathered a steady traffic of readers or otherwise. But my intention here is to try give it as much publicity so as the website could gather more hits, and this include notifying other denizens outside the campus community.
The strength of the website I supposed is the statistics counter analysis, where it can trace and analyse how many hits each and every page were being accessed (not read, as you wouldn't know if the person reads through the whole article).
The thing is it could trace and record on its counter which page you have browsed or which choice of articles in either language (BM or English) were read (bahasa pembaca dan laman dilihat).
Another exciting feature is the search and vote window, which (for the former) supposedly let us do a search on the website, making browsing much easier if you want to look for something -- news, article or report that is archived on the website.
The vote is naturally what it is meant for, but after voting for my choice of:
AUKU patut dimansuhkan? I found out that I was the only one voting ever since this option was out there on the page.
So, my Sangat setuju gathered 100% vote as I am the only one who voted. Quite strange for a site which was viewed a number of 632 times for the past 3 weeks?
Nobody here likes to vote...eh?
Anyway, if you are interested with the polemics of AUKU, there is an article in Kosmo! today on an interview on the matter with a UM student leader, Khairul Anwar Abu Kassim.
Click on the pic to see a bigger version of the news article. My wish on the BK Online is of course a comment box, where readers can give feedback on anything, including every article that is posted, either about the contents or choice of news/pics being uploaded.
This I think is the biggest letdown so far.
I'll come back in another three weeks or so to give another analysis.
