Click Of The Week #27: Ika Maya Susanti

Like many other journalists Ika Maya Susanti began blogging because she was frustrated that the paper she worked for did not want to publish much of her writing on its website. She felt she had something to say and wanted people to read it. So she started her blog called Kisah, Berita dan Cerita. Ika writes about technology, health, finance, beauty, career and other subjects that catch her fancy.

She also runs some competitions on writing, photography and film making in her blog and through them get to know who are the enthusiasts in each field. She also has great photos on her blog and through her embedded Flickr account. Her blog has many comments even though her Technorati Authority is 18 and Ranking is 461,934. Nevertheless she’s attracted 55,628 readers since she started blogging on September 2006.

Ika was born on 15 October 1981 in Jakarta and worked at Harian Tribun Batam as a reporter.
