If you want to know what the popular web destinations are, check out PopURLs (PopUrls.com). If you scroll down, you’ll find the Twitter section. I was surprised to find not one, but TWO Pinoys on Twitter who appeared in the PopUrls page at the same time. Jon Limjap (twitter.com/LaTtex) and Janette Toral (twitter.com/digitalfilipino)

That’s what happened to Annalyn Jusay when she traveled to Batanes via Asian Spirit, and experienced five cancellations and an extended stay in Batanes. Why did this happen?

Spotted a new Pinoy blog at JoeBreaker.com, and enjoyed the video shown in Blast from the past. There are a lot of other Pinoy vloggers that you’ll get to meet, thanks to Coy’s Discovering Pinoy Vloggers in 2007. (Hmmm… this kind of blogging is so liberating, for some reason. I’m slowly starting to develop a [...]

People are taking Entrecard Traffic to even greater heights. One way of doing this is through some kind of “regional” Entrecard community.

This, in turn, helps gain attention from many bloggers, who then begin referencing http://pinoyentrecards.blogspot.com And as more bloggers from [...]
