This post first appeared in Manila Bulletin's Terchnews last December 24, but I don't think it was uploaded online. So here's sharing with you my thoughts on Plurk and the many ways by which you can Plurk your world! Is the Philippines on its way to becoming the next Plurking capital of the world? Unlike in other countries where Twitter continues to reign, Plurking appears to be the more popular microblogging medium now, at least among the denizens of the blogosphere. Not a few have said that they've left Twitter for good, or visit there now ONLY occasionally. ... Continue Reading...
My not-so-late Christmas wishlist
My Manila Bulletin column on A Blogger's Wishlist For Christmas appeared two weeks ago, and am reprinting it here. Our peer, Melo Villareal, has an ongoing blog promotion on Christmas wishlists and am joining coz I want to win the 2009 Starbucks Planner, even though last year's remain unused :D Here it goes: It's the time of the year again! Christmas is synonymous with wishlists and we do this for a couple of reasons: remind ourselves in choosing which stuff to spend our bonus on, guide our loved ones as to our preferences, or serve as a raincheck for future ...

My Top 3 Cellphone Peeves
Word Sell. Inc. has an ongoing group blogging project on Cellphone Users and Abusers. Since the topic is interesting, I now give my two cents' worth on it. It helps that am in the Philippines, the so-called "texting capital of the world." This way I get to see cellphone mania in action. Here goes my Top 3 Cellphone Peeves: 1. Texting when it's not safe. An example of this is using/not turning off the cellphone in the airplane, before take-off or even upon landing. Am afraid of flying so I get paranoid when somebody insists on texting, as we all know that ... Continue Reading...
Matt Mullenweg on why bloggers shouldn’t be like the Fourth Estate
My Blog-O-rama interview with WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg came out last Monday; it was cut due to space considerations, full transcript is here. The bad news is that I wasn't able to attend the historic first WordCamp in St. Benilde :( The good news is that I was able to chase him down just the same. It was over a buffet breakfast, and we were both sleepless: him from drinking the night before, me from working the graveyard shift. Hehe. Also in company were two of the WordCamp organizers, Mr. Batang Yagit, Winston Almendras and Blogie Robillo. Anyway, we all ... Continue Reading...
Plurk, Twitter & the rest of the microblogs
My Manila Bulletin Blog-O-Rama column this week talks about the unstoppable rise of the so-called microblogs. If you ever wonder where your favorite bloggers are, most likely you can find them in sites like Plurk & Twitter. What you can find here? Mundane details such as what we ate for lunch, gossip in cyberspace and all sorts of chatter that would otherwise be worthless in a blog. Ask me to write a movie review worth writing about and I am likely to squirm. It's quite hard choosing my words and forming them into coherent paragraphs. But somehow it all seems so ...
