From Maish’s E-learningpost Aug. 18 links:  Robin Good has created a video to demo the new Windows Live Writer blog tool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY6gf5aa93E

Try it out, let me know what you think!

Ms. Janette Toral of the Philippine Internet Review was nice enough to mention Architelago's review on iBlog 2. Thanks, Ms. Janette.

All the more, I am convinced that this move to WordPress is a great,wonderful thing. Wouldn't have known about Janette's comments if not for the meta features of WordPress. 

Her post led me to the intriguing article of  Erwin Oliva of Inq7.Net that  blogging is still seen as an 'elitist' activity.  This is an opinion by  Dr. Ronald Meinardus of My Liberal Times. He says that in the Philippines, blogging is limited to those who are educated, have access to technology, and earn higher incomes. In physical resources, yes. But there is nothing like the blog that has encouraged so much citizen's journalism here and worldwide, that it  is definitely far from elitist. The conference emphasizes how much privilege and responsibility bloggers have in sharing both their physical resources and intellectual capital. A little knowledge need not be a dangerous thing.

So, Ms. Janette, how do you see Pinoy Bloggers moving forward with i Blog 3? How do we keep our community growing and glowing?

Finally, iBlogph’s 2nd conference is happening this April 18. I just signed up–I’m really dying to see how bloggers have been using, networking and benefitting from taking their virtual soapboxes. As an online community researcher, I’m dying to know how I can overcome this virtual cloak of silence when I see ‘0 comments’ appear in most blogs’ comment box.
