Filipino Takes Over Blog Herald
Top Filipino problogger Abe Olandres takes over The Blog Herald, a blog providing blogging news for bloggers. Assisting him is fellow full-time Filipino problogger J. Angelo Racoma — y’know, the PayPal for the Philippines crusader.
When it comes to showing Filipinos how to monetize their natural affinity for social media, Abe leads the way. I’m meeting with the Philippines’ Department of Trade and Industry tomorrow; I’ll definitely cite this local sunrise industry milestone. They hear a lot about Americans taking over Philippine businesses; bet they rarely hear about a Filipino taking over a US business.
Philippine government people talk a lot about IT “leveling the playing field”. In the heavily disintermediated social media industry, that tired old catchphrase could actually mean something around here.

“bet they rarely hear about a Filipino taking over a US business” … ? Sorry — I thought BloggyNetwork was a UK company. Abe and Angelo are management at the company.
Tony: As I understand it, The Blog Herald was owned by a US company immediately before BloggyNetwork bought it.
Right Mike — but Abe and Angelo weren’t management before BloggyNetwork’s purchased it. Am I quibbling over semantics?
That’s okay, Tony. Thanks for the clarification.
