Thanks Fritz! And thanks everyone who emailed and actually said they liked the Podcast (And how less gay my voice sounded). What you can do to support us is donate a decent mic.

Marco’s logitech mic is really annoying the shit out of me.

Dude the mic would work fine if your tried to stop putting it in your mouth.

I pretty understand and agree what Marco said about the so-called “blogosphere.” Evolution, trendings and stuff, … And the blog ethics stuff.

A blog for me will always be its basic definition – online (personal) journal.

Was it my headphones or the podcast sounded a bit messed up towards the end? Like bad signal or something.

“The Blogosphere exists not to promote blogging as a practice but to promote blogging as a certain fashion.”

You got that right, Marco. Very interesting take on what the local blogosphere trends are showing lately.

“Good content first.” I attended an online lecture by Mr. Adam Smith from Google and they have the exact same principle and strategy. Think of the product users first and their needs before getting advertisers or sponsors on board. Google made it BIG that way.

Great podcast. You guys really need a new mic though. Medyo maingay na. Hehe. Try vidcasting naman para makita na kayo ng fans nyo. Haha.

I hope somebody will sponsor the fuck meter.

And can I please say this again? Marco has a sexy voice. Hehe.

I do believe that bloggers will always believe in the necessity of having a blogosphere. Where there are people, there will always be communities…and politics. So, I don’t think we’re seeing the end of the “blog wars”. Oh yeah, maybe this particular blog war is ending, but there will always be another one.

Coolness Jake then you wouldn’t mind me tagging you to give us a brief history on the rise of blogging as an internet phenomenon? I thought not.

Actually what I discussed was not the very basic definition of a blog. Blogs or weblogs according to its historicity were actually never intended to be online journals of sorts. The reason why they were called weblogs was because they were initially logs of cool stuff people found on the web. Pretty soon people started interjecting their own thoughts about what they found.

Soon enough they were treating blogs like online journals and so on and now we have these badly designed freak baby monsters of a website with dozens of ads and meaningless reposts from other online articles in attempt to whore some approval from its fellow freaks.

What I was arguing about was going back to the roots of blogging – what it means to blog and the significance of keeping this idea alive instead of drowning it with web jargon, monetization, censorhsip, ethics and what not.

Of course, bloggers will always find the necessity of having cliques and groups that is undeniable. However, to brand these collectives with completely meaningless web 2.0 jargon such as “blogosphere” only proves irrelevant and completely devoid of the main element that makes blogging distinct from all the web 2.0 trends – which is giving the user the power to create and publish quality content.

Blogs will always and should first and foremost be about content. Everything else is secondary and merely by products.

[...] a rather late but still interesting take on the goings-on in the local sphere. Check out the 3rd episode of the FOBCast. Just a trivia to Marco – one of the very first blogs were actually just linklogs. And yes, we make [...]

the “certain fashion” marco was talking about … IMHO, is the media industry. some blogs are really just as good as — or better than — print.

Glad to be obliged Mr. Jake.

@ Marco

I think I just have to listen again. I may miss some points there. But yeah, in a nutshell, I get what you mean.

So much for that.

Yeah, Mike doesn’t sound so much like a pixie in this episode. Nice of you guys to mention Maddox.
