My List of Nominees
- When In Manila (http://www.wheninmanila.com) – Lifestyle, Travel, and Fake News? Hilarious. I also like the way they integrate the power of Facebook in their homepage. No, make that in practically EVERY page. Talk about INFLUENCE.
- The Creative Dork (http://thecreativedork.com) – Interesting blogroll treatment. And I’m biased in favor of The Little Prince. Plus, a healthy number of comments.
- NomNom Club (http://nomnomclub.com) – I wonder if the blogger is somehow related or connected to the owners of Red Ribbon. Nice photos. I now have this urge to gobble up comfort food.
- FaceBuko (http://facebuko.com) – How can this not be influential? Filipinos practically spend all their time in FB. ;-p
- tara na! (http://tara-na.com) – People love food (especially affordable eats). Food talk online? Definitely on the way up the influence ladder.
- The Thirsty Blogger (http://www.thirstyblogger.com) – Hetong pantulak. It’s a drink blog that will definitely catch the eye of the consuming public. But the blogger will eventually branch out to other topics. I hope that doesn’t, uhm, dilute his influence in the future.
- Project 52 Weeks (http://www.project52weeks.com) – Interesting. 52 weeks, 52 short films. As more people consume online video, I wouldn’t be surprised if their online popularity will eventually transport them into the world of local television.
- Kusina Maria: A Filipina’s Food and Cooking Blog (http://www.kusinamaria.com) – Mouth-watering photos. Plus recipes and battle-tested cooking tips!
- NoBenta: I Love the 90’s! (http://no-benta.blogspot.com) – Coming in at Number 9, a blog about the 1990s. My friends often talk about the 80s, but this decade-after group is making its mark online. Get to know this generation.
- Manila Shopaholic (http://manilashopaholic.com) – People still have time to go online, and also go shopping? This blog gives people hope, and that is a key ingredient when it comes to having influence. Makapag-shopping na nga!
Wow… Food, drink, and shopping. I was debating whether or not to include an Entertainment or Pinoy Showbiz type of blog in the list, but I figured Twitter and Facebook are already doing a good job.
