Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008
How do you consider one as an influential blog? I read Ms. Janette Toral’s attempt to answer this question. I do agree that it is a tough question and I don’t think there is a single description that fits all.
I was already blogging during the first edition but really did not mind the project (and all other happenings around the blogosphere at that time). It was just me, my blog, and the few people in my blogroll.
But I happened to read the results because a few of the winners were in my blogroll. Like the others, I was surprised. Some people were very vocal about their disagreement, and I may have even agreed then with the points they raised. Is it popularity or influence? 2007 is behind us now and everyone has moved on.
For this second edition, the Emerging Infuential Blogs of 2008, I’d like to participate. Though I may ask: Is it the blogger or the blog? If it’s the blog, then I don’t think the blogger’s identity is important. There are plenty of influential blogs whose authors remain anonymous. If it is the blogger, then let us see what he is made of.
Anyway, I’ll just stick with the project title and the rules. So, here are my ten nominees to complete the circle of 10.
1. Bloggista
2. Mapiles.com Your Partner Online
3. A Man of My Town
4. Go, Blog
5. Humane Blogging Tips
6. Mar Roxas for President in 2010
7. What Have You (updated)
8. This Book For Free(updated)
9. The Spitting Vessel (updated)
10. Dong Ho’s Bhayeng Noypi (updated)
The bloggers behind two of the nominated blogs above may not want to reveal their identities. In case they’ll win, I believe they can handle fame and attention. But perhaps it’s only me voting for them. I should have nominated them earlier.
To my readers, you can still join and nominate the blogs (created after July 1, 2007) that have influenced you and others. This is the last week of this writing project though. So, hurry up now!

Bro, thanks for the nomination! Hehe. Pasensya kana I came to know this when we talk over coffee just now - in Cebu pa. Hehe. Looking forward to see you in Manila. Influential or not, we’re going to launch something that will make us small time bloggers keep up with the big guns. There is power in number.

What can I say?! I am not sure if I really deserve such nomination but I am grateful to know that someone here gives me that kind of recognition. It is such a great honor for me just being nominated.
Thanks for the support for my blogging tips blog.

You guys are simply great! And that includes you, AJ! Had your blog been created after July 1, 2007, it would have been in my list.
Oops, I think I should add one more in my list to make it 7. Yeah, the magnificent seven.
