Philippine Blogging Movers & Shakers of 2005

Connie & I have been contemplating on something like a blog awards over at PinoyBlog for months now but we don’t want anymore of those popularity contests.

What I had in mind was some sort of Movers & Shakers of 2005, much like what ITNetCentral did a few years back during the dot.com years. It’s not too late yet though but I’d like to throw out some questions and suggestions on how to go about it.

• Who are the bloggers or blog that influenced you the most?
• Which Filipino personalities/bloggers heavily contributed to the Philippine blogosphere?
• Which bloggers or blogs created the biggest buzz this year?
• What are the greatest and most notable achievements in Philippine blogging this year?
• How has blogging influenced the Philippine society (even in a minuscule way or if at all)?
• Has blogging increased online content readership?
• How about in the academe? the press? or the government or judiciary? Have they made steps to incorporate blogging as a form of communication?
• Has blogging made an impact on consumerism and brand awareness in the Philippines?

Share us some of your thoughts on these. (or maybe add some more questions on this list.)
