Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009

21 comments

Just another day, I posted an entry about my blog being nominated for 'TOP 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in 2009' which happens to be a project of an influential blogger herself, Janette Toral with the help of Absolute Traders, My Brute Cheats, Business Summaries, Fitness Advantage Club, Events and Corporate Video, Events@Work, Dominguez Marketing Communications, Red Mobil, and Blog4Reviews.com. This has started three (3) years ago which obviously means that right now, this writing project is on its 3rd year of identifying new and emerging blogs that created an impact to their wide group of readers. And for this year, the table is open for nominating those blogs that started anytime from May 1, 2008 to the present...


The image above are those bloggers who emerged victorious last year. They are the 'TOP 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008' and now they're about to pass their title to the next bloggers who will be chosen by majority to be called the 'TOP 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009'.

And now, it is my take or rather my turn, to pick those 10 bloggers which for me are the ones that have greatly influenced and affected not just my blogging passion, but other bloggers' too. To tell you the truth, it is really not that easy... I mean, I really had had a hard time choosing the ones who I should include in my list since there are actually 13 bloggers who deserve to be part of it. Somehow, I feel guilty that I won't be able to include them all here... but I really have to do this... I must pick not 13 but just 10!


Ladies and gentlemen, my beloved readers, viewers, bloggers and online buddies, and Ms. Janette Toral, allow me to introduce to you "atenean101's TOP 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009", they are the following... in random order...


He's MJ Ces and he has been working as a writer for almost a decade of his life. Actually, two of his blogs are supposed to be on my list, this one and A Simple Married Life, but I opted to just choose one to give chance for other bloggers to be part of my list... He's considered a PRO when it comes to Web Writing, SEO Writing, and Copy Writing, and for sure this blog will be a proof.


This is a site where the author expresses his own opinion about Philippine politics, regional economic policies and other trivial things that help mold the pinoys into a unique species.


With the desire of organizing and unifying Cebu-based bloggers, the Cebu Bloggers Society, better known as CBS, was created. Accordingly, its main objective is to create an atmosphere of camaraderie with bloggers based in Cebu who blogs about technology, politics, hobbies, food, travel and almost everything under the sun. BLOGGER KO BAI!


Batang Yagit, better known as Batang Lakwatsero with his travel blog, has been known in the pinoy blogosphere not just because of his unique and very 'catchy' name, but also because of his creative works and better blogging knowledge... he has helped several bloggers already especially those who are new to the blogging world, and eventually became influential to most of them, including me!


This site is aimed at expressing ate Mariz' positive take on life. She's one of the only few bloggers I have met online who is very optimistic. According to her, she created her blog to share her own personal views and experiences, posting stories that inspire, insights to reflect upon, information that are useful, tips that are helpful, and anything that can bring cheer to everyday living. Through her site, she hopes to meet people and make new friends, as she believes that blogging is not just about expressing, but more importantly, it's about connecting.


DOROTHY’S VINEYARD. This is the name of the school Mommy Dharlz dream to put up in the future, that is... This blog will talk about anything and everything about life. From the mundane to the very core of life’s meaning.. On the lighter side, this blog will also be a vehicle for this mommy blogger to bring food to the table..


He's a fellow CBS (Cebu Bloggers Society) blogger. This blog accounts his magnificent interest with photography. As quoted, "Through the Focal Glass... A picture speaks a thousand words, but a thousand words is not enough."


Another fellow CBS blogger who impressed me because of his extraordinary talent when it comes to blogging. But mind you, he is no longer a kiddo... but yes, he is extraordinary!


Again, another fellow CBS blogger that I admire. He's a young technology enthusiast, photographer, a current event geek, a sporty individual and an adventurous one! He is the former founder of XPSource, a site providing daily news regarding Microsoft technologies and Windows Vista and a former contributor to TechConnect Magazine, an online magazine.


She's a programmer by heart and she's now revealing her unrevealed thoughts, this is simply because she just loves writing...

this writing project is sure a great way find all great blogs existing now ;)

Drivera said...

so you are batang lakwatsero, now i know. goodluck to you!

Drivera said...

if there is something that i would like to change on your list, it would be the cebu bloggers society. don't get me wrong, i know it's a good site and could be emerging influential too. but it is more of a community site. the entries written are from different contributors which are of course part of the community...

atenean101 said...

yes, he is indeed batang lakwatsero who is better known as batang yagit.

atenean101 said...

no need to thank me mommy dharlz, you deserve it! good luck to you and to all...

atenean101 said...

i bet they are, but honestly with no biases at all, this 10 bloggers or should i say blogs listed are all influential...

atenean101 said...

weeee! no worries, you deserve it. haha

atenean101 said...

indeed! i couldn't agree less.

i hope they will make it to the top.

atenean101 said...

well if that is your opinion, then let it be... i better respect that. but still i believe that CBS is considered to be a blog that has influenced a lot of bloggers most especially those from cebu or those who are considered to be cebu bloggers... and since we are looking for emerging influential blogs here, then CBS is definitely in!

Snow said...

Nice list. Congrats to the nominees ^_^

atenean101 said...

haha, hi sis!

thanks for leaving a comment. it is indeed appreciated.

you could have been part of the list, it's just that i only have to pick 10... you`re actually part of my original 13. and since you`ve been gaining more votes already, i just then decided to somehow introduce here those who were not yet noticed, hoping that somehow i`d be able to tell the blogosphere how emerging and influential they are too... say for example MANGO CHICO. he deserves the credit, yet only few were able to nominate him.
