So, Blogger.com / Blogspot is still the leading free blogging tool around. After changing hands from PyraLabs to Google, there wasn’t much improvement apart from the built-in commenting system (without track-back) and a few more ready-made templates for your choice.

However, they are not short of supporters. Including, ermm.. institutions. There are government departments building their websites in blogger.com too, for example, Jabatan Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan Negeri Sembilan, wonder why didn’t they get a proper host. The Khazanah Nasional owned Penang Bridge Sdn Bhd is another, I found it through Penang Bloggers portal.

Calling it “The Penang Bridge Blog“, you will find no blog in that single page website. There’s no chronological entries. Only basic information such as length, construction cost and concession period of that bridge.

Owh no, that’s not all. The jewel in the crown of this “blog without blog” is the real time webcam, showing 4 shoots of the Penang Bridge, from 1) towards island after toll plaza, 2) main span towards island, 3) towards mainland from island-side entrance and 4) towards island before toll plaza, respectively.

It is still smooth traffic at the longest bridge in Malaysia, as at 7:36am. It’s free of jerebu too! And you can also see the financial nightmare Malaysia Airlines as well as TM Bhd’s Diriku Bukan Sekadar Nombor billboards, yeay !

p/s : shots are actually beamed from another site, the UEM’s, where you can view live video too !
