Cuando Jayvee se acercó a mí para colaborar con ellos (como consultor) en la construcción de la red de blogs de Hinge Inquirer, me sorprendió que las publicaciones tradicionales estén explorando los nuevos medios como una vía para expandir su audiencia y marca.

Después de varios meses y con la ayuda del diseñador de temas WP Gail, estoy listo para revelar mi participación en HIP y sus 6 nuevos blogs:

Antes yo me encargaba de los temas, pero Gail tomó el relevo alrededor de la mitad del proyecto. Tengo un contrato de dos años con ellos: alojar los sitios, realizar ajustes y algunos trabajos de SEO. A cambio, obtengo un porcentaje de los ingresos por monetización. Espero que el retorno sea bueno. :D

Congrats Gail, Abe, Jayvee!

You know, a thought has been bugging me since the 1St BlogCon… It’s nearing 2007, an election year and politicians/candidates/political parties are not blogging. Given that the masa are not yet as wired as we’d like them to be… But wouldn’t Blogging be a good tool/campaign machinery?

I say good news also. The old media who ignore blogs or do blogs half-@ssed will feel the pain in the future. How far that point in the future is is the only debatable point.

It sounds as if you have a good arrangement for this gig. I know of many “web experts” who counsel folks that participation type deals are wrong … they feel a developer should deliver product to the client turn-key and let it sink or swim on its own. But for blogs in particular the participation of the expert can make all the difference, so it sounds a good deal.

I’m going to add those blogs to my feeds and keep an eye on them. I’m particularly interested in seeing how the GolfDigest progresses. I’ve been watching a guy who’s doing something similar in Thailand and have long felt that someone who actually had his/her feet on the ground in the Philippines could make something useful out of the great golf assets the Philippines has to offer.
Best of luck
