Where do most Filipinos Blog?

Pinoy blogging trends

Abe posted an interesting analysis on Why Blogger isn’t that Popular in the Philippines. In fact, I would not really wonder why it’s not that popular. With Friendster dominating the social networking space in the Philippines and with it having a blogging feature (which is powered by TypePad), I won’t have that much of a doubt if Friendster would be the most widely used website by Filipinos for blogging. In fact, there are about 182,000 search results in Google using the search term “blogs.friendster.com“. Please do take note that I applied a filter here to show only results that are in Filipino language. Thus, the results for those who are written in English but owned by a Filipino is not included.

Friendster is still the number one social network in the Philippines

Plurk or Twitter?
