iBlog5: Learn, Learn, Learn and never stop learning

It was my first time na makasama sa iBlog5 last May 9 sa Malcolm Hall sa University of the Philippines Diliman, before I’m contented watching via Ms. Janet’s streaming sa Justin TV. Of course I still consider myself as newbie though I start blogging 4 years ago and almost two years with this blog Ang Sa Wari Ko where most of my fellow bloggers knows me.

Para sa technology ng internet at mobile phone, lahat ng mga seminars na pinupuntahan ko like Social Networking Event, Search Engine Seminar, IMMAP and others, they always say ang technology tulad nito ay palaging naggro-grow so never stop from learning and discovering new things. Aside seeing old friends and meeting new one which iBlog5 offers, sharing what we learn and learning from others ang isa sa napaka-essential sa event na ito.

From the basic of blogging to search engine optimization we learn the importance of content and how we deliver it to our prospect readers and the potential of monetizing it. Hindi rin mawawala ang issues pagdating sa responsibility sa mga content na nilalabas natin and how it might affect our readers especially for the political writers who is planning to be the internet watchdog pagdating ng 2010 election.

Maaaring iba-iba ang way of writing ng bloggers including the way kung paano nila kausapin ang readers nila online and how they mingle with fellow bloggers. But one thing I believe is that no one has the right to classify bloggers depending on their personal issues in their blog, the way they generate income through their blog, and their advocacies and their content. Dahil isa lang masasabi ko sa bagay na yan at paulit ulit kong sasabihin ay tamang respetuhan na lamang ng kapwa at iyon ang mainam.

I’m happy to see bloggers na naging kaibigan ko na online at lalo na sa offline, kilala nyo na kung sino kayo and new friends lalo na ang Cebu Bloggers na nameet namin nila Sire at nakasama sa Katips. To Janet Torral and UP College of Law Internet Society salamat sa pagkakaeroon ng ganitong event at congratulations.
