A giant TV network fears twitter, etc.

Since everything in the web is so interactive, businesses even the likes of Walmart are now getting hip companies and are trying to gain profit from this once "media misfit". I was watching last Sunday, Discovery channel and it talked about the development of internet. It all started by just a simple logic of Tim Berners-Lee, now the likes of Bill Gates and many others are filling their bank accounts because of this "new world".

Here in our country, PLDT launched watchpad, it gave way to other producers to divert their projects to internet instead of paying too much airing fees in televisions. Of course, youtube and other sites came before them. Manny Pangilinan, a Filipino business magnate, just got TV5 and it seemed interesting how his influence as telecommunications aristocrat can change tv programming...should ABS-CBN & GMA7 be threatened? Sure the audience has something to look forward to.

It is truly true that sometimes we get more info in the web than tv now. I, as for one, has no more time to watch tv and if ever I have time, I ended up either with documentaries or even lucky enough to get replays. I get buzz from twitters and facebook. I get a lot of scoops and I believe that I am helping to conserve environment by using less paper. I read newspapers on-line and I often read monthly magazines!

This lifestyle might seemed more westernized but knowing Filipinos, we are not far from this reality. So should we just have no other choice between Kris or Ruffa to listen about showbiz? I don't think so...I have my twitmates as well!
