Top Ten 2009: Batch 1

Posted in Blogging & Technology by juned on the June 25th, 2009

I have been delaying writing this list for some time. Even if Janette,in her very sanguine and gentle ways has been encouraging me to put down my list, I took my time and I am still taking my time in writing in completing my list of ten blogs of promise for 2009. Or roughly translated ten blogs that you should read.

The problem with getting the list out is (one) you want to appear non-biased and (two) even if it is your friend or even your own blog (gasp) … one should have a very good reason for it to be on the list.

And what is the purpose of submitting this list ? To win ? Maybe but let us take away the winning factor aside for a moment. In its bare essence its recommendation list that a blogger places before you and says,”Friend, read or visit this blog you might find them interesting and worth your time,”.

So here is my partial and initial list of blogs for 2009 that I would like to recommend to you for reading and try to visit them to judge for yourself. In no particular order or preference they are:

1. Happyfoodies.com

Why?

A food blog by Ironwulf and Lagal[og], which is dedicated to food that they stumbled upon. Ferdz and Ogie are well-known in the Philippine Blogging Community as Photo-Travel Bloggers and this food blog is a visual treat of the foodscape they encounter as they travel from Batanes to Bali and elsewhere.

2. VideoChops

Why?

Videochops is a new blog by Cokskiblue and its Chop of everything video one sees on the Net. More accurately I think slices of moving images one sees and searches for. It offers (1) video series ; (2)free downloadable video clips; (3) Events of happenings and news; (4) Opinion both online video and about online video; (5)Pinoy Viral Videos; (6) And videos both in normal and high def format. So it is blog to view entertaining, informative and video resources.

Actually, I had some hesitation in naming this vlog partly because Coy and I set this up. Anyway, as I said the purpose of this list is also to recommend potentially interesting and good blogs or in this case Vlog … and the fact that you might find this interesting is more important.

3. Marikina Life

Why?

If you are from Marikina City. If you are going to Marikina City. If you will be going to Marikina City. And even if you are not going to Marikina City. This is a blog of interest because it chronicles and reports about what is happening in the City of Marikina from the biggest shoes in the world to the interesting statues you will find in this city.

So those are my first three blogs. Seven more to go.
