Profiling the Philippine Blogosphere

The Ca t made quite a thorough profile of the Philippine blogosphere based on the top 100 blogs ranked atPinoy Top Blogs.

Though the study is not that definitive, we can still see some trending here. We’re not surprised that 51% of the blogs are about personal stuff or the hybrid ones (no focus topics but a mish-mash of different/scattered ideas typical of a weblog). Amongst the focus blogs, the Entertainment, Political/News and Technology (14%, 12%, 10% respectively) dominated the categories.

The Ca t added that…

Literary writers and journalists find blogs as alternative venues for their articles to reach their target audience.

While the mainstream media continue to deliver the news and current events, the blogs are gradually developing as good sources of breaking news which are more updated than the online news. The top bloggers/opinion makers deliver their intellectual analyses of the news more interactively since comments encourage feedbacks and inputs from the readers as well.

An interesting study nevertheless, read more about it on BLOGGING TRENDS – Profiles of the Top Pinoy Bloggers.

I’ll wait until maybe December and come up with a State of the Philippine Blogosphere based on PinoyTopBlogs statistics (and using The Ca t’s initial data as baseline). Thanks Ca t! :)
