Filipino Takes Over US Gaming Blog

Kevin Codamon is a cool dude. We hung out with gaming circles at the University of the Philippines near the close of the twentieth century, just after the Internet hit the Philippines. That’s why I admire a lot of his ideas on gaming, media, and babes (Yes, babes. You can have ideas about babes.).

That’s also why I think he’s the perfect choice to take over Creative Weblogging’s PC Gamers blog. Kevin’s writing style never fails to entertain; he knows how to give the people what they want. Go check it out; I’m subscribing.

Just the other day, Abe Olandres announced his takeover of The Blog Herald. Filipino bloggers are on a winning streak this week.

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.
