3Didn’t get to meet Mel and Joey myself. I was interviewed off-site by their segment producer.
I believe I may have cited media appearances and citations on my about page.

4do the networks pay for these interviews. If so, being a “resource person” or “interviewee” would be count as fringe income, wouldn’t it? Though technically, that would not be off the internet but a derivative.

7I’m getting interested in joining problogging. In fact, I asked friends who have been into it to tell me more about how to get started. As a result, I was referred to this site of yours and read about your success in the field.
Hope you do well in the future!

10I patiently watched through the entire show, but your segment was not included. They ran out of time daw. Perhaps in August 2007, I’ll get to watch your blogging episode, J.

11The producers texted me last Sunday afternoon saying the feature will be aired sometime this August. I was disappointed, too, that it wasn’t this Sunday!

15I just saw the show. Just some basic info for those who have no idea about blogging. Nothing new. I guess they edited out the details.
It’s nice to know though how much some of us bloggers are earning.. Hmmm, our peso might spike further if millions of Filipinos get on the Adsense program!

16well ive seen the last part of the feature, and i think the interviewed blogger should have mentioned a monthly income starting from $1 upwards and not $300. $300 or more per month for bloggers that also know SEO maybe. but for newbies, i doubt they could reach $5 a month with their blogs. im sure many Filipinos will start blogging, but for how long before they get disappointed and quit?

19You can see my thoughts on the interview here.
@vbignacio, I was the interviewed blogger. Just another case of being taken out of context or perspective, don’t you think?
