PayPal is now in the Philippines … sort of!

The moment we have been waiting for is finally here!

Albeit in a lite version. I guess when they said “Paypal, they really just stressed the “pay” part. Apparently you can only send money but not request. Nonetheless, this is a step in the right direction to our eCommerce.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Prices of Moleskine in the Philippines

Before the personal digital assistant, there was the notebook and the organizer. But there also emerged the moleskine, which was dubbed as the writing enthusiast’s journal. It’s sorta like the Macintosh of the journal universe. Haha!

Sorsi’s blogging adventure begins!

One of the nicest things about blogging is that it is, just like art, never a finished product. As an advocate of continous improvement, we left BlogCon 2006 with a case study for the migration of Sorsi Soriano’s blog from Friendster to WordPress. Correct me if I’m wrong but Friendster does not archive posts.

I’ve been a fan of Sorsi’s “kwento style” blogging which not a lot of people have the knack for. If I were to give a reward to the best journal style of blogging, that award would go to Pam Pastor for her uber long posts and uber camwhoring skills. Sorsi’s style of blogging is similar to this, for she engages readers with her everyday “matter of fact” content.

This is what I call the “Seinfeld Phenomenon” (coined after the famous TV sitcom Seinfeld) where Jerry Seinfeld, as himself, finds humor in everyday things.

If you were to meet five bloggers …

Who would they be? Darren has posted this question up on ProBlogger and this is a repost of the comment I’ve left. Since i have to limit this list to five, im not going to include the b5 founders because that would be a given already. I’d love to meet the following:

BRIAN CLARK – I come to Copy Blogger daily to read up on the writing profession. it’s not just his advice, but the WAY he conveys his message. I want to see what he’s like in person.

JOHN C. DVORAK – they say that the cranky geek isn’t as cranky in person. i just want to see for myself. in fact i’d feel disappointed if he didnt tell me to scram!

PETER ROJAS – Pencil pusher? Writer? Editor? I want to see what makes this guy tick.

EASTON ELLSWORTHKnow More Media’s Associate Editor is young and talented. I’d love to have a beer with the guy and hear his thoughts about life, the birds, the bees and blogging.

HUGH MCLEOD – is he a copywriter? a cartoonist? a creative director? this guy is a legend in my books and i want him draw a comic behind my business card that says, “Jayvee, your tail is sooooo long.” (wait, that sounded wrong!)
