Today a year ago, Connie and I embarked on a new venture to popularize the Philippine Blogging Community. My original plan for PinoyBlog which I initiated in 2002 got sidelined to make way for a manually aggregated Pinoy Blog Portal. Connie’s pet project, The Philippines According to Blogs got a new home and a spanking new site.
I can still remember that day when it all started. Connie and I were emailing several key bloggers then to meet-up and form the team to establish the portal. The idea was simple and doable but we thought we needed more hands. On the day of the meet-up, it was just me and Connie (along with her husband and kids) at the Starbucks in Emerald Avenue, Ortigas. We were very anxious and had a lot of things in mind. She had already started the project from her site for several weeks and all we needed was to properly (or commercially) deliver it to take the form of a blogging community. the By August 4, we were already aggregating blogs left and right.
A year later, thousands of pinoy bloggers, and millions of pageviews later I now realized that my original intentions did not go far from what it is now — to make the Filipino blogger be heard and recognized.
The year went past so swiftly. I am glad at what we have accomplished here and I am sure there will be more milestones to reach.
Congrats Yuga and Sassy!
