OAP: "Power Blogger's Meet and Unfulfilled Expectation"

Power Blogger's Meet and Unfulfilled Expectation

There are only two reasons why I wanted to go to the Innove Bloggers Meet . First, to finally meet all the power bloggers in our country today and second, to get a free one year HSDA wireless broadband access from Globe/ Innove. It was great to finally meet the power bloggers all in one round table discussion including:

Abe Olandres of Pinoy Top Blogs (http://yugatech.com), -- blog overlord problogger
Connie Veneracion (http://houseonahill.net), --- Finally! The controversial Sassy Lawyer
Jangelo Racoma (http://racoma.com.ph), --- The first Full time Blogger
Gail of Kutitots (http://kutitots.com), --- The first pinoy blogger
Marc Macalua (http://www.macalua.com/) --- Mr. SEO Philippines
Markku (http://rebelpixel.com) -- Pinoy Lyrics Guru

We were a cheap group. It only took a few round of drinks for us to share all our knowledge and insider information about blogging with Innove. The Innove marketing guys has NO clue what blogging is all about so they invited us to know what really ticks in the mind of bloggers for them to create services to meet blogger's demands.

It was a great meet and here are some more photos on the actual focus group discussions in Temple Bar at Greenbelt last night. In the end, we just ended up with one month free wifi subscription and some goodies. Hmmn, I'll talk to my Smart Contact (attention Jovy... ) and maybe they can fulfill our dreams of free pilot use of HSDPA wireless broadband for one year :) Just kidding.

Lovely Innove ladies...

A few round of drinks for a wealth of knowledge on how blogger thinks is a cheap deal. But we are glad to spill all our brains out just for this.

Jayvee -- you're the man. Thanks for inviting us to the innove meet.
