100,000 Mobile Bloggers in the Philippines

Listen to article

好吧,关于是什么导致移动博客在菲律宾尚未普及的讨论,现在或许已有了答案。

据一位非常可靠的来源称,菲律宾曾经拥有超过 100,000 名活跃/注册的移动博主,而这还仅是针对 Smart(包括短信和照片)的数据。即便不计入 Globe 的用户,这在我眼中已是一个庞大的数字。

然而,尽管在如此短的时间内(仅几个月)取得了这一显著成就,该数字主要得益于试用期间移动博客服务免费。一旦免费试用期结束,活跃用户总数立即降至初始用户的 10%。

现在我们可以达成共识,“成本”是移动博客的主要障碍。实际上,仔细想想,几乎任何免费提供的东西最终都会流行起来。:D

I’d rather do mobileblogging using my laptop.

Yes, I did not misunderstand your comment. I’m referring to Yuga’s article re: active/registered Smart mobile bloggers.

I’m sorry, what I meant to say in my first post is that Smart SUBSCRIBERS are in the position to take advantage of mobile blogging.

Pay per post if you use Smart’s Blogging platform. But if you just use the GPRS then it’s a whole new different story.

I think that mobile blogging service was a VAS service, pay per post.

Not that I fully support their pricing. But …

Smart is in the position to take advantage of mobile blogging due to their current price scheme.
