I’m a Company Influenced Blogger
Well actually I have no idea if the terms mentioned on the subject is correct. What I mean is that the person who “provoked” me to blogging was someone who worked at the same company as me 
I started this blog at February 2008. There were only few bloggers who work at the same place as me then. From what I knew there were four of them and all of them not only working at the same company, but also the same department as me
1. Prast (simplyeko.com)
2. Jabro (jabro.wordpress.com)
3. Arei (4r31.wordpress.com)
4. Aburifqi (aburifqi.wordpress.com)
The 1st name is the main culprit in provoking me to blogging The minor culprit is the 2nd name plus two of the public figure’s blog of Dian Sastro and Wulan Guritno which I have to admit, made me changed my negative opinion on blogging.
Interestingly, blogs growth in my department in the last 10 months has been increasing significantly. Here are what I know :
1. Olysus (olysus.com)
2. Amzabro (amzabro.com)
3. Blogunik (blogunik.com)
4. Argobel (argobel.wordpress.com)
5. Kejeblog (kejeblog.com)
6. Sahidjaya Flowers (sahidjaya-flowers.blogspot.com)
7. Qisthon (qisthon.com)
8. Redone Batam (redonebatam.wordpress.com)
9. Imran Rosadi (imranrosadi.wordpress.com)
10. Sandalilang (sandalilang.blogdetik.com)
There are also some other bloggers in my department beside those I mentioned above who still keep their blogs private. But looking only at above list I can say that the blog growth has reached at least 1 blog per month. Don’t forget that it’s only in my department, not the entire company.
Now at least total of 15 blogs (including this blog) has been contributed by my department. So far there are around 223 blogs listed as Batam blogs in Batam Digital Island. I’m not sure if all of those 15 blogs listed already there but it means my department contribute about 5-7% from the total blogs in Batam.
Looking at above fact, it seems that company environment really helps on increasing the number of blogs. Obviously not all company. I believe company who are stable and can offer high standard of salary won’t be a “healthy” place for blogs to grow. Does it mean that the company which I’ve been working for is like a fuckin’ unstable ship in the last 10 months? Just ask them above
Now how about you, what’s your story in starting your blog? Is there any “company provocators” like I had? 
Wah..banyak juga temen sekerjanya mas sigit yang jadi blogger, ya ?
Pasti seru, nih…he,,he…
hehe iya Put, sering kopdar tuh kalo di tempat kerja
berarti penyebaran virus nge-blog di kantor lu berhasil dengan gemilang
klo gue, br dapet down-line *loh?!* 2 orang nih disini
heuehehe kyk MLM aja downline
Tp mgkin lucu jg kalo ngeblog pake system MLM 
Keliatannya elo punya bakat nih jd provokator 
it means my department contribute about 5-7% from the total blogs in Batam.
Kalau dipersempit per platform kaya’nya tempat gw punya kontribusi yg lumayan nehh
huehehehe per platformnya msg2x punya dua blogs sih
wow your company have a lot of bloggers! I think I’m the only blogger in my department..
it means you have to be the provocator mas Jimmy
hehehehe……your writing reminds me of my reason in blogging……hmmmm..it was my ex-boyfriend who firstly introduced me to blogging. Now? he stopped blogging and I keep writing
No matter what the reason, as long as u can maintain your interest even though the person who influenced u to blog has stopped blogging…..u r a real blogger then…. 
hehehe actually that’s the hardest part. How to maintain our passion to blogging. It’s kinda up and down really
hehehe… si prast memang provokator blogger sejati
itu uda jadi kerjaan tetapnya koq
dulu saya mulai ngeblog saat baca majalah remaja yang kebetulan mengulas tentang blog. Saya langsung tertarik dan bikin blog. Blog pertama saya memakai blogchex namun kemudian beralih ke blogspot yang sampe sekarang masih hidup dan berjaya (halaah!!)
brarti provokatornya majalah abg ya
Hehe iya tuh kudu tetap jaya suprana ! 
Wah gw justru ga mao klo org kantor pada tau blog gw…
Ngomong2 masa ada satu orang kantor yang suka baca komen2 gw di tempat loe, dari mana tau-nya ya…?
masak sih Sheilla? brarti temen kantor elo itu suka ngegoogling nama elo kali yah. Wah ada secret admirer nih
teman sepermainanku, baek disini maupun di batam, gak ada satupun eh yg ngeblog.
brarti ada peluang bisnis tuh buat jadi provokator
ayo , ngeblog ramai – ramai
ayo dik Reza
Nah, daripada memprovokasi demo mahasiswa atau kelompok agama malah ketangkap trus digebukin, mending memprovokasi org bikin blog, manfaatnya ada amalnya juga ada, hehe…
sekarang sy mau cari korban lagi ah…
*lirik kana-kiri*
kalo kita memprovokasi org bikin blog tp akhirnya yg jadi malah blog bokep kyknya akhirnya jg bakal digebukin deh mbak Astrid
wuiiiih……. keknya nyaman betul kantor lo bro.
di tempat gw mah, it nya pinter2 n serem2 banged ngeblokin segala jenis blog, boleh baca2 tp dg izin spesial…. males khan?? jd kayaknya selaen gw belom pernah nemu ada bloger laen, mungkin mereka fikir pulang kantor mending bwat nonton tipi or bobo aja
wah msh beruntung kyknya elo bro. Di tempat gue akses internet ga dikasih tuh. Biasanya org2x ngeblog di tempat gue justru di rumah. Jarang banget yg ngeblog di kantor. Makanya kopdarnya di kantor huehehehe
