PEP.PH all geared up

PEPPEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) has formally launched last night together with the 7th anniversary of Yes! Magazine. The showbiz portal looks really promising and has the basic features (forums, gallery, commenting) engaging enough to keep avid fans glued on their monitors. The operator of the site, GMA New Media, is really proud of this site (based on what Ms. Malou Mangahas relayed to me) and though they were not able to snag pep.com.ph (by Philippines Equity Partners Inc.), I’m sure there won’t be any type-in problems there (I see they already got pep.net.ph too).

What is more interesting is that several big time showbiz bloggers have mentioned that PEP could pose as a huge competition in their market. It’s possible PEP could take away their readership in a short time. Talk about pageviews and unique hits huh?

IMO, it could go both ways. With PEP, they (showbiz bloggers) might have competition growing their reader community (thru forums) but they now have a more centralized source for entertainment news.

(To PEP: Nice work on the watermark, huh!? You know you can’t stop people from grabbing your images, but at least they got your brand along with them. ;)

    pep comments section contains the gravest slurs you can find in a philippine blog… is the operator (GMA New Media) of the blog vulnerable to libel cases? Just read the comments sections…

    Including a url of the site in the watermark may help marketing the site.

    PEP is right on the money!! specially for OFWs who I think want more showbiz than current events or politics news.. i guess inquirer just missed this opportunity.

    www.pep.ph aims to be a one-stop shop for entertainment. Showbiz bloggers will now have to contend with entertainment journalists who maintain a blog in PEP as well as celebrities who are willing to write for Philippine Entertainment Portal.

    Non-PEP bloggers can outscoop PEP.

    And don’t forget SEO.

    There is more than one way to skin a cat…
