Yugatech on Pilipinas, Game ka na ba?

Ok, this was told me by surprise when Anton passed by my pad this evening. He said he saw on TV, Pilipinas, Game ka na ba?, that my blog was part of their trivia questions.

The question goes like (and I’m translating it liberally) “According to Alexa, this is the most popular blog in the Philippines. It starts with letter y——-.”

But where did they get that info? Alexa is unreliable at the very least. So, I dug a little deeper and found this:

Alexa

I’m sure the contestant/s weren’t able to guess it correctly. Yugatech? Who, what??

Oh, no, I’m not that popular with the masses. Or maybe I should start blogging about celebrities and showbiz gossips?

I guess you are really that popular. Another blogger send me a survey form to find out the most popular IT blogger in the Philippines today. She however indicated that you should not be included in the list anymore, because it is pretty obvious that you are the most popular.

So, congratulations!

Migs: A blogger game show? As long as we post it on YouTube. ;)

Miguel · 19 years ago

Yeah let’s have a bloggers’ gameshow!

Preferably not one that requires us to be locked up in the “big brother house.”

what i did saw was the question involving just the top 10 websites in the philippines, yugatech.com was one of them

Celebrities and showbiz gossips? Nah, leave that to the others. ;)

hehe. the staff really made it hard for those contestants who don’t surf. If I were the contestant or even a blogger , I would have guessed it.

Congratulations Yuga! I thought you were a contestant. I admire your blog…

Kudos! Maybe this mention by Kris should really awaken the Pinoys to what blogs and blogging is.

at least, you can proudly say kris aquino mentioned you in her gameshow. now maybe a Game Ka Na Ba episode with pinoy bloggers would be nice. I would like to see Abe, JV, Migs and some others go head on head for some favorite tech charity. Hehe.
