Pinoy.Tech.Blog Meet-up

It’s great to see the faces behind the famous blogs. I met Migz (for the 2nd time), Rain (finally!), Marc (I thought you looked familiar), JAngelo and the very inquisitive, Ka Edong.

A lot has been discussed — a lot about Pinoy.Tech.Blog, other ways to monetize your blog, adsense placements, WordPress, Pinoy Top Blogs, SEO tips and tricks from Marc, telecom insider info from Migz and other group blog projects Rain, Ka Edong and I brainstormed amongst ourselves over dinner.

Chit-chats abound and we talked about other pro-bloggers as well — Markku (and his famous iPaP), Connie, Darren, AnP, Alwell, Manolo, Rickey and a few others I will intentionally forget. :p

I guess 6 hours (4Pm to 10PM) is not enough to talk things about the Filipino blogosphere. Too bad we’re not equipped to record (for podcast) some of the more cheesy stuff. ;)

Care to join us for another meet-up this October? =)

Hi yuga, let me know if there’s a meet up. I’m interested to meet you guys. Also, if you still need a blogger for your pinoy tech blogs project, I’ll be glad to contribute.

I did not want to create my own tech blog because this is my line of work being a cio in a multinational company. But I can provide corporate technology perspective and alot of technology contacts in the industry :)
