I was there when you gave a talk at Nestle, I was actually the next person who will give a talk. LOL

Anyway, It’s because of that talk you did that made me go serious on blogging. Thanks Abe.

Bakit ka kase nagmamadali nung sa nestle.. bigla kang umalis! Di tuloy kita nakilala ng personal. haha

Saying “problogger” defeats the purpose. I think Yuga’s point is to give an answer that doesn’t require further explanation.

“i’m in the publishing business”

IMO it depends on who’s asking. if a person is a tech savvy then i would tell him/her that i maintain my own blog and im working as full-time blogger otherwise i would say that im into internet publishing business and im the owner.

So when King Leonidas of Sparta asks you, “What is your profession!!?”… You’d say, “I’m in the publishing business! Ahu!”.

But I still think the term ‘problogger’ sound cooler!

This exactly what I said to a friend on a phone when he asked me what exactly did I do. He thought we made websites for clients, but I said the company all the websites we made. Then I said, think of it as a publishing house. Just like publishing books.

Web design is a different dilemma, though. I tried explaining to a client what a CMS is and why you should get paid a little higher for modifying it compared to creating static websites. Argh.

Of course! There’s nothing else how to call it but publishing. So, can I say that I am a web publisher and a newspaper publisher too, since I manage a newspaper in our town? he he.

Depends who I talk to. If the person is not into the internet, I’d probably say “publishing”.

Makes great sense. Especially when you hit the “Publish” button!
