This is someting else I don’t get and never have from day one. I watched Global Voices grow from its inception and lots of people I respect have a lot of respect for Global Voices. It’s based at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School, for crying out loud. And they just got some big funding and support from Reuters.

But the Philippine blogosphere is so much more robust than what is represented on Global Voices. And that makes me suspect how other countries are represented. The stories under the Philippines heading are a very very very narrow window onto our (on-line) lives and issues here. How do they pick and choose what gets in and what doesn’t?

It’s a little like talking to Americans back home whose only perception of what’s happening in the Philippines is what they see in the news. If your only perception of the Philippine blogosphere is Global Voices, you’re missing it.

Here I go again with a negative post, and I know I will regret it. And Rebecca’s in town. What bad timing. Hopefully I can listen to a podcast of her presentation at iBlog and gain a better appreciation.
