Sonnie’s Porch

The venue is bigger compared to iblog2, accommodating more bloggers. The tracks I appreciated are as follows (don’t get me wrong though, all presentations are good):

• Do’s and Don’ts of Personal Blogging (Lauren Dado)
• What every business person should know about blogging (Arelle Valla)
• Literary Blogging Experience, Observations, and Trends (Dean Alfar)
• Blogging and Freedom of Expression in ASEAN (Roby Alampay, SEAPA)
• Bloggers Code of Ethics (Emerson Banez)
• Blogging and Copyright Law (Atty. Jaime Soriano)

Tomorrows’ session is more interesting, check this value packed line up:

• Abraham Olandres: Blogging Success Story (Philippines’ Most Read Blogger)
• Photoblogging Success Story (Anton Diaz)
• Philippine Politics and the Blogosphere (Manuel L. Quezon III)
• Podcasting/Videocasting Growth Trends (Wilson Chua of eRadioPortal.)
• Blogging / Web Marketing Trends (Aileen Apolo of Google.)
• The New Prosumer (Norman Agatep of Euro 4D.)
• Blogging and Investigative Journalism (Alecks Pabico of PCIJ)
• Blogging as Mainstream Media (Angelo Racoma of the Blog Herald)
• TV Journalism and Blogging (Malou Mangahas of GMA Network)
• Blogging for advancing one’s career (Marc Hil Macalua)
• Professional blogging (Jayvee Fernandez)
• Increasing blog popularity (Gail Dela Cruz - Villanueva)

It appears (to me) that more can still be accommodated basing it on today’s turnout. If you can, go check out and don’t miss tomorrows’ session.
