From broadcasting to blogging 3

Posted on May 25, 2005 by Administrator

DWBR broadcaster Adrian Sison started blogging right after the iBlog event. Visiting his blog certainly makes us proud.

Adrian’s blog is filled with high-impact content reflecting his various interests. It offers an opportunity for radio listeners to interact with him after the program. Furthermore, followers are beginning to recognize the power of blogging as Adrian encourages them further.

More power to you Adrian!

Should you know of people who only started blogging after the iBlog event, let us know!

Unanswered questions 4

Posted on May 24, 2005 by Administrator

How often do we find ourselves posting questions in a forum and not finding an answer? Worst, we are at times judged for being naive because of our questions.

This is the thought that came to mind when I read Glendz‘s blog post. It is about her curiousity as to how we perceive “mura”. Her thoughts on the response that she got from her questions are pretty interesting as well.

I felt intrigued as “mura” seemed to be too common nowadays. You can even find songs having lots of “mura” in the lyrics. Religious people uttering “mura” when they preach. Parents scolding their kids once “mura” comes out of their mouths while at the same time, the reprimand given is filled with it.

Confusing indeed…

The Google Zeitgeist on “Filipina” 11

Posted on May 22, 2005 by Administrator

(From Clair)Turns out, a Google search for the word “Filipina” throws back a slew of sites on dating and mail order brides. It’s even worse for Google Image Search.

We don’t have to take this sitting down. The Sassy Lawyer makes the following suggestion:

perhaps we can all write about our own definition of what a filipina is and then let’s provide the urls to the permalink pages then let’s point to each other’s permalinks. In a few weeks, google will show different results. :)

For best results, use “Filipina” or “Filipino women” as links to each other’s permalinks.

(Or maybe we can all put up a button that points to one site/webring.)

The Filipino Librarian has a starter set of good “Filipina” links.

If you have a nice definition/description, please drop it in the comments section of this post. I’ll post it in the iBlog blog, as well as my 3 or 4 personal blogs.

Can Pinoy bloggers reverse years of google zeitgeist pollution? This is certainly a blog-worthy project :)
