Hello everyone. We are now gearing up for iBlog9: the 9th Philippine Blogging Summit (#iblog9). In this regard, we would like to invite interested speakers to submit a topic proposal for consideration on or before April 15, 2013.
iBlog9 will take place on May 31 and June 1 at Malcolm Theater, College of Law, U.P. Diliman, Quezon City.
The first day will focus on Blogging for Business and Advocacies (entrepreneurs, corporations, non-government organizations, and similar entities). We prefer to receive proposals on topics that can help businesses and organizations better understand how they can tap blogs as a marketing and promotional tool, and how to work effectively with bloggers to achieve that purpose.
The second day will focus on topics of interest for Bloggers in general, such as blogging must-know, social media, blogging policies, taking blogs to the next level, among others. We are also interested in hearing experience of bloggers from different parts of the country.
Submit your topic proposal on or before April 15, 2013. The approved topics and speakers for the summit will be posted before the end of April as we open for registration.
Thank you.

Hi there, I got this link from the Freelance Writers Guild page. I'm not qualified to speak on the matter but I think, from experience, there is a need to establish a guideline for the professional ethics of bloggers who engage in paid projects. I understand that blogging is hot now and that there is a large volume of opportunities for anyone who has a blog, but there will come a time when brands and business will become interested in an accounting of the true value what bloggers provide. When this happens, blogging will be held up to the spotlight and only the truly professional writers will have any real commercial viablity. In which case, I believe, the entrepreneurial nature of blogging will shift, again, and not to the benefit of the general blogging community. Many thanks, Myles. http://geostride.com/

ReplyDeleteHi Myles and Valerie, those are keen observations you've raised, i agree, blogging should be regulated as well, just like any profession, that way, there will be balance, and bloggers could benefit from this..thanks for your valuable comments..
