Marc and I were shopping for some suit last week in anticipation of next month’s SEMCON 2007 and Aaron Wall’s wedding with his would-be Filipina wife. While discussing details of the conference, I told him that he should be blamed for locally popularizing loaded terms such as link juice, link love and link bait. He replied, “that’s why I don’t blog anymore!”, or something along those lines.
See, before bloggers would usually give out links because they want to give traffic, however big,small or non-existent their traffic count is. Now, most would do it to give link juice. Besides, we realized a link costs a lot now than before.
Before, people loved to do link exchanges. Now, they call it link love. Then, just a year ago, bait’s are mostly for fish. Now, calling out somebody on your blog is considered link bait.
Ok, I digress. Let’s move along and share some tidbits.

I remember the iPod Video 60GB retailed for Php32,000+ when it first came out locally.

Karl asks why aren’t there any other Filipino bloggers included in the Top 50 Most Influential Bloggers List (well, except maybe for Filipina blogger Michelle Malkin). Methinks to have at least one there (Malkin) is good enough. Singapore’s Xiaxue didn’t make it nor the most popular blogger in China, Xu Jing Lei, both of which are on Technorati’s Popular 100.

Do we still consider Malkin as Filipino/Filipina even if she doesn’t even want to be associated with anything Fillipino? :P
