Internet’s high page ratings don’t always belong to the rumormongers, the gossip-frenzied, and those run-of-the-mill social climbers. We met three bloggers who prove that there is substantial life out there on the web. Their pages showcase their passion for a variety of click-worthy topics.

CokskiBlue: One Year (and 37 Days) of Video Blogging

CokskiBlue: One Year (and 37 Days) of Video Blogging

May 25

April 18, 2007 – That was the first day I launched my very first video blog at CokskiBlue which then resided at http://cokskiblue.blogspot.com. I still remember my very unusual layout where my blog “banner” invaded almost half of the screen. With that first look, you’d see that I was trying to do something different – not exactly good on the eyes – but different.

That first vlog spawned unexpected reactions from the first (say, 4?) viewers. Whaddayaknow. They actually liked it. And apparently, the idea – blogging using video as a medium, was relatively new to the Philippine Blogging Community, which back then I didn’t know actually existed. Of course, YouTube already had HappySlip, Komikero, TouchBlue and other great Pinoy video bloggers. But I am very grateful to have found an audience who tuned in week after week, with no high expectations of what I should be doing. They just watched. And had gone with the ride.

It was an overwhelming experience.
