GMA News Launches Blog Network

Philippine TV network GMA is bleeding profits and their programming is ripped-off crap, but that’s a nice blog network they’re launching for their reporters.

Too bad for them it isn’t powered by WordPress. That limits extensibility. Nevertheless, it’s got RSS, so no one needs to get fired.

At least they’re not doing something stupid like pulling clips off YouTube. GMA is now officially Web-smarter than rival ABS-CBN.

Philippine Animation Studios on YouTube

The Philippine animation industry pulls in $52 million a year, so I’m glad it’s making inroads into social video. Check out the YouTube channels of Artfarm Asia and Pixel Storm Studio.
