Over the past year, some members of the “Wiwi Blog Universe” have started a trend of submitting themselves to nownownow.com, which has made me wonder if I should also try submitting myself to nownownow.com?
However, after thinking about it, I think I shouldn’t submit it for now?
All the members contributing to nownownow.com in the “Wiwi Blog Universe” are from Taiwan. I was born and raised in Hong Kong and have never lived in Taiwan for an extended period, so I’m considered a foreigner in the “Wiwi Blog Universe”. The Hong Kong section of nownownow.com currently has 10 members, and from what I’ve seen, they’re all English websites. It would be a bit awkward if I included myself in it and nobody really reads it.
Furthermore, if you submit yourself to nownownow.com, they will ask you some basic questions about yourself. If you don’t answer them, you’ll be listed in the “missing photo” or “missing profile questions” section, which may affect your visibility. However, firstly, there are some questions I’m not quite sure on how to duel with, and secondly, I’m a person who is a bit values privacy, and I don’t like to reveal too much about my personal information (or information that I would consider too personal) to strangers.
Additionally, this website currently does not have its own domain yet. I don’t know if I will migrate the website to another domain in the future. If I do migrate the domain, it might be a bit troublesome to change the links on websites own by others.
I wonder what opinions my fellow bloggers have on this. Feel free to contact me via email, private messages, or comment (if I ever set up a comment board on this site)!
Update on 2026/05/05Wiwi later published a new article “NowNowNow World Champion”, in which he mentions that “if everyone in our BlogBlog Club Universe works together, Taiwan can have a chance to break into the top three, or even win the championship1”. After reading this, I thought that the BlogBlog Club only has about 100 participants, and not all of them are Taiwanese (I myself am actually a foreigner from Hong Kong). Even if all the participants in the BlogBlog Club submitted themselves to NowNowNow, Taiwan still wouldn’t be able to get into the top three. Therefore, Wiwi’s viewpoint is likely exaggerated and flawed, so I immediately wrote an email to Wiwi to discuss about this.
And he responded by saying, “The BlogBlog Club Universe isn’t limited to those who have already submitted posts; it also includes all the readers of these websites, the website owners’ friends, and potential members who will be brought in later2”. Is this an exaggeration?
