Blogopolis Into The Wild: Blink

Blink a new platform for streaming movies, tv, live events and whatnot can now be purchased online theough BLINK.

There were a few glitches on her presentation but i think that's understandable. Wifi connection here isn't that stable. For what its worth, the service is quite cheap if you compare it to cable special screenings and on top of that you'll have more of hollywood since they literally get movies from these companies around three months after the actual release. Isn't that amazing? 

Well, I have yet to deal with my own bandwidth I guess before I seriously consider doing this. I may be tempted to get this connected to my HD tv, do they have trials? I must ask!

Blogopolis Into The Wild: Social Media in the Newsroom

Tj Manotoc made us all a little old by asking us when we signed up for twitter. Starting from how personal initially their accounts were to making their accounts available in the newsroom, he started stating initial tools and how tweetdeck was useful. 

He was made to imagine that Twitter was like Starbucks where you can probably say anything but most of the folks that would hear it are strangers. They did social media research in elections and it was really useful for pushing content. The public engages in live discussions and that is just like real life. It is a big boost for their corporation and the reach is definitely BIG.

It was a perfect avenue for crowd sourcing, sometimes their headlines or scoops come from social media. That just makes news to become an ongoing conversation. Much like online bayanihan. It's not just them pushing content.

Great guy, smart too. No wonder he's got a show based on Social media.

Blogopolis Into The Wild: Podcasting with Lori Baltazar

Lori Baltazar of Dessert Comes first says she can't tell everyone what she means so she immediately delved us into a video podcast.

She has invested on her crew and has made arrangements on doing this. She's on her third group of videographers which she believes is already "a charm". She says content is still king, it will benefit your viewers and it will also be able to capture your intended audience. 

I must say she's one of the best food bloggers in the Philippines and what she's doing is a level up from the norm. She's a kind gal and she says that actually got her places in this industry. So for those who are still evil you better change hahahaha!

Blogopolis Into The Wild: Maria Ressa

Live blogging from this event! 

Maria Ressa just finished her talk about journalism and blogging. She also touched on Typhoon Yolanda and how they covered everything online. She was also awarded a Rippler Award courtesy of Nuffnang Philippines.

Personally I still don't like her because of her views about public domain and stealing photos... But i won't discount the fact that she has helped media and social media in general. There I said it.
