Happy Birthday to the Philippine Internet

10th Year Anniversary of Internet in the Philippines
Makati, March 2004

Nakatikim ka na ba ng diyes anyos? Definitely. You may not be able to read this if you haven't. You've turned on a 10-year old. That is internet in the Philippines.

To the most intelligent 10-year old, Happy Birthday!

Here are a pair of Filipino-developed sites (developed and in the market for the last couple of months) for your trial. I haven't tried them personally, but that shouldn't stop you from using them :

Funchain.com : Funchain is an online service for creating FriendBlogs - a collaborative journal on the web, composed of short, frequently updated posts written by friends connected through their similar interests. It can contain a broad range of topics and content, from diaries and personal news to hobbies and reviews! With Funchain, you can create your own personal journal, interact with other people of similar interests, and have one or many dynamic online webpage communities! You'll enjoy doing it! It's so easy!

My comments: No, it is not fun sending chain letters. But it is touted as Friendster + Blogger = Fun Chain. So it maybe is the next in thing.

MyLife.ph : If you are an 18 year old looking for someone to chat with, a working professional who wants to keep updated on news and current affairs, or a medical practitioner looking for the latest trends on health and fitness; then you’ll soon discover that MyLife will become a fitting aspect of your life – as it was meant to be! This was the vision of East West Bank for its website's market.

Comments: some tried to scratch the surface of a "yahoogroups" community site for a targetted market before, but failed. What should mylife.ph offer as a competitive advantage? You can set up a blog, discussion board and put up photo albums for everyone to see.

Both websites have great intention in creating a network of common minded users. Maganda na intentions, Pinoy made pa! Here's to more Pinoy Internet ideas for the years to come!
