Missionaries in the Philippines are lucky. The lyrical Filipino language lends itself so well to religious evangelism.
I just had to explain event-specific tagging in Filipino. A mere introduction to the idea took nearly two hundred words, many of which had six syllables — and that’s just scratching the surface of the concept!
Filpino is a terrible language for technology evangelism. And we have a long way to go in this country.
Now that Windows Live Writer works with Ultimate Tag Warrior, I’m gonna try Microsoft’s blog editor client. I’m posting this entry from Live Writer.
Gotta admit, Web layout WYSIWYG is pretty damn cool. Let’s see where this goes.
Hanep Hataw Hero 2005 was a pretty damn big anime convention, so I have high expectations for Hanep Hataw Hero 2006. Since Filipino anime fans are a connected bunch, Hero TV’s Eric Go should do what TechCrunch does: promote a unique tag for all social media related to this event. Fans would use that tag for all related media they post on blogs, Flickr, YouTube, et cetera. That way, Hero can automatically encourage, aggregate, promote, and track consumer-generated multimedia online event buzz.
H3 2006 would become the first Philippine event to use a unique social media tag. Considering their online initiatives, I’m sure Eric’s bosses would applaud such innovation. May I suggest H32006.
Update, 90 minutes later: ACPI’s Joy Bacon, who has an anime convention across town on the same day, just called. I’m sending her code snippets to autoaggregate media tagged Toeinty.
