Barrio Siete daw is not a blog

29 August 2009 44 Comments

Do you agree that Barrio Siete is not a blog? If so, then, what are we?! Me nag-email to me. Said he: Barrio Siete is not a blog. Huh?! So, kung hindi kami blog, di mga kling-on kami? Hahaha! Charing lang! Eto laman nang telegrama nya:

barrio_siete_dot_com

“para po sa akin, hindi ko po makoconsider na blog ang barriosiete. yung website ko po, blog po ang tawag ko dun. pero kung ikukumpara ang website ko sa website ninyo, malayo ang diperensya. para tawagin na parehong blog ang mga website natin, hindi po ako makakapayag.”

“for a lack of a better term po, para sa akin, ang BarrioSiete ay isang “internet magazine” or “e-mag“. titignan ko po kung pwede ko ito gawing term paper kaso hindi na po ako nagaaral e. baka pag nagenrol po ako sa professional schools, magamit ko po ang concept.” SOURCE

The blogger did not really say clearly why Barrio Siete is not a blog. But lemme ask you. What’s your position? Is Barrio Siete Dot Com a blog? Or an Internet Magazine?

    Reynz, before I answer him, I want to know from him his description of a blog. Not an entry from Wikipedia or Meriam. I want to know his personal description of it.

    • reynz says:

      he did not say Rob. basta ganun ang sabi nya. so it’s just a comparison of his blog and that of Barrio Siete.

      • Rob Angeles says:

        I see so, it’s his/her own comparison. But does it really matter if Barrio Siete is a blog or an internet mag? I think what’s important is how people consume the message and how you help readers understand the message. Another important thing is kung marami natutuwang readers.

        Ok, I will agree. Barrio Siete is not a blog. It will be the home page of the barriotic internet citizens in a few years time. Agree?

  • Mahalia says:

    Bakit sya nag-object na B7 is a blog?

  • jeri says:

    Palagay ko naiinggit lang ang blogger na yan.. baka kulang sa pansin kaya nagpapapansin.

    kahit maikling panahon pa lang ako sa blogsphere, ay marami na rin akong observations, may mga blogger na sa kagustuhan nilang mapansin ay mambulabog sa ibang site para mapunta sila at syempre tataas ng bahagya ang traffic nila.. hindi po ba?

    • Rob Angeles says:

      This is what you call as cheap social engineering. Yung mga nangaaway sa reynz op kors, cheap social engineers.

    • reynz says:

      hindi naman siguro naiinggit. i guess, baguhan sya and he has his own definition of blog. i guess he got confused dahil sinabi nya na he found out about the blog noong Cory Aquino. isang linggo ba naman nateng iblog yon – well dahil nga we were on a mourning period then.

      • promking says:

        oo nga.. ako, dalawa lang ata entry ko tungkol dun sa Cory Aquino.. magkaibang araw pa. dito sa BarrioSiete. sa loob ng isang araw, apat-lima nga ang entry..

    • promking says:

      tama po.. naiinggit po ako sa website ninyo. andami pong bumibisita. andami pong nagbabasa.

      kahit sino naman po, gusto niya meron magbasa ng website niya di po ba?

      kumpara sa BarrioSiete.. kulang talaga ako sa pansin. wala nga akong Alexa stats e.

  • Tiyo Paeng says:

    Rob, me mga cheap palang engineers ano?
    So ano tawag dun? cheapgineer? he he he

    Engineer din ako pero hindi ako cheap.. nya ha ha ha

  • Chi says:

    B7 is still a blog. collective bloggers lng ang nagpopost and what we post are still ordinary blogs like what we are posting in our own sites.internet mag e iba na yon. me mga date of issues yon parang ordinary magazine, everything is edited like ordinary magazines as well, ska walang commenting. bka npagkamalan lang na internet mag kc mgaganda ang posts! hahaha.

    • reynz says:

      i like that Chi, i guess i would assume na dahil saksakan tayong ganda eh napagkamalan tayong e magazine and we’re not.

      i did not even realize that.

      all the entries in here are not edited, ‘cept for sexual innuendos and other hate or violent words. other than that, walang editing dito unless nag-habulan nang dos por dos hahaha

  • Mel says:

    Well, kung hindi ito blog ano ba tawag? Komiks? Charing!
    Hindi rin naman ito e-mag kasi magaganda kami dito. Lol. Ang e-mag kasi as far as I know eh online equivalent ng mga published hard copies. Example: British Vogue magazine, ang e-mag ang Vogue.uk. Correct me if what I think is wrong ha.

    Puede rin kaya na ang Barrio Siete ay isang blogazine? According to urban dictionary ay researched based ang isang blogazine. Pero there are posts here na originally written so hindi rin blogazine.

    To the letter sender, ano ba dapat ang tawag?

  • Leo says:

    parang sulat lang ng isang high school. turuan nga natin ng blogging 101 ang batang ire ng maliwanagan.

    • promking says:

      teka lang po.. masyado naman yung high school.

      siguro grade3 po.. hindi pa po talaga ako magaling sa blogging. para sa akin, grade3 lang po ako sa blogging.

      blogging101.. parang ang hirap.. pang college na ata po yun. basics of blogging sana gusto ko matutunan.

    • glorien says:

      just a comment on this. sana wag naman masyado harsh.. i think that was just a misunderstanding to both parties. try to get the opinion of the other party as well.

      i know his intentions are clear. and i personally think that this became a big issue because of one opinion doesn’t match another person’s opinion. but still both of them are opinions!

      Thanks!

  • Dinah says:

    a rose in any name is still as sweet.
    ke blog ke e-mag, ke tambayan, at home ako dine!

  • Monique says:

    i’d say when you look at the front page ng barrio eh mukha nga siyang magazine. kaya lang it’s still a blog. ibang iba naan talag ang magazine eh. pero for someone to say that, the barrio council and the barrio kapitana must be doing something good na masabing magazine siya. :)

  • Amor says:

    dapat may definition sya ng blog para naman ma justify nya kung bakit hindi nya matatawag na blog ang B7.

    “para tawagin na parehong blog ang mga website natin, hindi po ako makakapayag.” e di wag! sapilitan ba ito?

    • promking says:

      para po sa isang blogger (who considers himself as a newbie grade3 blogger) wala po ata akong karapatan para magdefine ng isang concept.. pero pipilitin ko po. watchout na lang po sa blog ko.

  • an2nette says:

    i agree with you mudra, palagay ko kinder pa lang siya sa blogworld, heniway, whatever you call it, dumadami ang ating readers, tumataas ang ranking at maraming taga ibang barangay ang dumarayo

  • Mahalia says:

    Blog po tayo. Dahil agree ako kay Mel na most E-Mags have a hard copy counterpart. Ang mga E-mags pati a mostly ay may isa o dalawa sa sumusunod.

    1. Manuscript submission through an editor
    2. May Editor
    3. May Manuscript Guidelines
    4. All articles may or may not be compensated (mostly compensated)
    5. Kapag maga-submit ka ng Articles it should be pre-queried for approval of the editor. Query Letter is always required.
    6. Can be denied or approved by the Editor
    7. Response time on queried Articles are usually 3 weeks to 6 months
    8. Publishing time on submitted articles are usually 4-8 months.

    Wherein Blogs naman do not have these rigid conditions, even B7 have a few people to “monitor” publishing but not with editorial responsibilities. Dahil nga assumed na mga bloggers na ang ating mga writers, alam na nila ang kalakalan ng blogging and forwarding write-ups. The key point is the Editorial Pool. If this is an E-Mag we are terribly lacking in that area. Dahil nga dito, it’s a writer’s responsibility what he or she writes.

    Plus it doesn’t necessarily mean na gumamit ka ng “magazine” styled theme, eh E-Mag na ito. It’s just a theme. Anyone can use it. It’s just the styling.

  • promking says:

    Hello Po..

    sobra ka naman po reynz. hindi ko po ineexpect na ilalagay mo kaagad sa website ninyo ang inquiry ko. gusto ko lang po din sana mabasa ng mga readers ninyo yung entry ko sa blog ko about BarrioSiete. sobrang salamat. parang dadami ang hits ng website ko dahil dito.. maraming maraming salamat. Social climbing at its best ako. ahhaha

    kaso reynz, hindi mo nilagay dyan sa entry mo yung website address ko. hindi tuloy nila mabasa yung writeup ko. ahehe.. well pa click na lang po ng pangalan ko then read up po. salamat.

    inaamin ko po. ako po ang matapang na nagsasabi na magkaiba ang website ko at ang BarrioSiete. Siguro po, ang gusto ko lang mangyari e magkaroon po tayo ng distinction between websites like mine compared to websites like yours.

    ang alam ko po kasi, marmaing klase ng aso. meron pitbull, meron german shepherd, meron din mongrel. yun ay dahil nag evolve na ang mga aso.

    tingin ko po, nage-evolve na rin ang blogosphere at kahit na ipagpilitan natin na parehong BLOG ang tawag sa mga website natin, nung tinanong ko ang nanay ko, sinabi niya na magkaiba daw ang mga website natin.

    nung tinanong ko siya kung bakit, ang sagot niya “ewan”.

    sana po wag ninyo i-impose sa akin na ako ang gumawa ng definition ng BLOG.

    maraming salamat. Social Climbers RULE!

    • Silver says:

      promking,

      It will be better if you, yourself interact with the readers and writers more often. That will be much better than going ahead and making blunt statements like hindi-maituturing-na-blog-ang-barrio-siete. That’s the root of social climbing. Social climbers, according to Reyna’s definition are not the one who just barge in through the door without knowing who and what are behind that door. Social climbing, according to Reyna’s definition is more on interaction and exchanging ideas.

      SO how you will work on the definition of a blog? That’s the proper question to ask of you since you are the one who is saying that barrio siete is not a blog. It will be better if the rest of the barrio siete peeps know your definition of a blog. Different individuals have different perspectives and definitions about things they see and feel. It will also help if you could share to us your perspective why barrio siete cannot be called as a blog.

      My own take on this matter: I can still call barrio siete as a blog, collective blog that is. The site is composed of bloggers who regularly make posts for the barrio which appears 4-5 times a day. We dont have strict publishing schedules as compared to an e-magazine. We dont have an editorial staff as compared to an e-magazine you are saying. We rely on the web as our publishing site. Barrio Siete is driven by the hard work of the writers and Barrio Council. Maybe, Huffington post will fit into the definition of an e-magazine but not Barrio Siete.

      Anyhoot, I take your point on the evolution thingy. Of course, the only constant thing in the world is change. Therefore, as Barrio Siete goes, you and the rest of the blogosphere will see the changes and those changes will take us, as a collective blog to newer heights. Who knows what Barrio Siete can become in the next months or years.

    • Rob Angeles says:

      Ahhh ikaw pala pre ehhh..Anyway, di naman natin kailangan i classify kung ano mga bahay natin. As long as we give value to our readers, it really doesn’t matter. If we focus more on classifications instead of value, we will end up nowhere.

      Sample na lang. When blog rockstars started to evolve, they said that one thing to drive traffic and create a following is to bring value to readers. Define value. Ito ba ay dapat written in trying-hard intellectual english? NO!Useful information, entertaining, opinion, etc are things that readers value. They pick up something.

      If readers go back to your site at bandang huli ay nagiging home page na nila, I assume there’s value in what you write.

      So sa blog, should it be define by the format of the articles or the layout of the site? Gamit ng Barrio ang Arthemia. One of the nice magazine layouts for WordPress but it is still a Blog. Blog Sweet Home.

      And maybe the reason why La Kapitana del Barrio posted your inquiry is to promote transparency sa Barrio. If you need to voice your opinion, let it be heard. Let people know about it. Why? Eh para naman mapag usapan natin. Malay mo others can learn a thing or two.

  • BURAOT says:

    i take this inquiry as a compliment for the barrio.

  • dencios says:

    blog din ito kasi may mga nag sheshare ng mga personal na bagay na nangyayari sa kanilang buhay.

    ke blog o kung ano pa man, basta sikat at binabayo si alexa, OK na yun!

  • Tiyo Paeng says:

    Basta para sa akin, Ang Barrio siete ay masasabing Blog..

    Kung sino mang mag Opposed “baliBLOGin ko ng bote.. jowk! he he he

    Peace!

  • glorien says:

    This is a compliment for barrio siete. So I hope everyone can see the intentions of the writer. Hope you read his writeup for barrio siete so that YOU will know.

  • MsPinkBiik says:

    I think I would have to agree with him because a blog TO ME is an opinion of one person. Barrio Siete have several writers contributing to the page. para ngang magazine or dyaryo! I don’t think it is an attack pero all of you have amazing talents kaya nga palagi kayong inaattack ng mga engkanto dahil sa mga abilidad ninyo… lalo na yang si reyna at buraot. I love them both!

  • chuva says:

    Puede rin kaya na ang Barrio Siete ay isang blogazine?”

    I actually like Mel’s description of blogazine. There’s a good tone to it dahil it is a blog but we do have a lot of topics for discussion here that isn’t written by one person. True, wala tayong editor and it’s a contribution of many bloggers kaya parang apt yata yung term na blogazine.

    And I think Snow was right when she stated that it is a compliment. Kasi dalawang taon na rin akong mahigit na nag-ba-blog pero hindi ganito kalakas yung mga blogs ko. To each his own lang talaga siguro.
