MANILA, Philippines — Since he first started blogging in 2003, Filipino singer and composer Jim Paredes can still recall the thrill of putting his thoughts in cyberspace and getting quick responses from people.
“It’s as if the Internet was my nervous system and cyberspace was my barangay,” Paredes said as he described his feeling when he first started blogging.
Paredes, who migrated with his family to Australia in 2006, has been known for his music and compositions, his career on Philippine television, and his being a member of the APO Hiking Society, a singing group composed of Danny Javier, Boboy Garrovillo and himself.
“I’ve been blogging since 2003. I felt the need to express myself outside of my usual venues like music, recordings, TV, etc. I also discovered I like talking to a world audience and receiving quick reactions and feedback,” Paredes said.

ARE you tired of reading lengthy blog entries that speak of philosophical topics that almost give you a headache? Never fear, Twitter’s here!
Twitter is the newest blog site that is uniquely different from its other blog counterparts. The concept of Twitter is micro blogging. That is, you write about minute things and details about you or just about anything and everything. Micro blogging, in short, allows you to revert to those old school diary entries that go something like,
“Dear diary, today I went to school. The teacher gave us a pop quiz. I had lunch at the cafeteria. I went home at 4PM.”
Founded in 2006, Twitter has since gained a huge following, with site visits reaching up to 500,000 in July of this year.
AILEEN APOLO, Google country representative to the Philippines, is organizing a blogger event on July 3. Over 100 bloggers are being encouraged to sign up for a sampling of Taste of Asia located at the SM Hypermart at the SM Mall of Asia. Specifically, the details are as follows:
WHO: Bloggers of all ages and sizes
