The conversation between Chris Pirillo and Dave Newton sure hits a vein. In his post about a KOMO TV invite which he declined, Dave Newton, talks about how “I come from a conventional old-time broadcaster background, so I’m not available for schmoozing.” This was with regard to Chris’ comment about bloggers and journalists (oh no…

I had come from a small blogger event for the launch of the “Blogger,” a bag model that belongs to the Timbuk2 line of bags.

Where are the car bloggers?
And a voice cries out from the Web 2.0 wilderness .. “Where are the auto enthusiast bloggers?” Technology, entertainment, politics, religion, fashion, pets, and even support groups — we’ve got them niches covered in the Philippine blogosphere.

On soft launches and something I’ve been working on
Yesterday I had come from the soft opening of mag:net Cafe at the Bonifacio High Street. I’ve been giddy as a geek about this as I’ve always enjoyed the mag:net crowd in Katipunan as its been the hangout of the most friendly and non-pretentious crowd in the city, who are, to my glee also some…

Bloggers aren’t journalists – they’re bloggers!
