Sober IT truths from the island-state

An explosion of food bloggers in Singapore

A long time ago, blogging was almost considered a kind of online private diary... till someone found your entries online. Then it was no longer private. A few years later, there's been an explosion of bloggers from all walks of life and on all kinds of topics. And yes. I am one of those contributing to the numbers. :-D
So what's the point of this entry? Well, recently I was looking for some bloggers to invite to a food tasting event. But they can't be just any other blogger as there are criterias to meet in order to be invited. Hence, I was on the hunt for local food bloggers.
Well, to say I was shocked was understating it. I've never seen that many food bloggers online (and I bet more and more are emerging from their kitchens to the Net).
With so many food bloggers online, some companies have set up online blog advertising communities. Prominant ones in Southeast Asia that have been actively promoting the bloggers and helping them get adversting opportunities are Nuffnang, Foodbuzz and Blog2U.
These companies assist the bloggers to get featured online, keep them up to date, and help get them invited to product launches and paid advertisments on their blogs. What good opportunities.
So let's not talk about the already well-publicized food bloggers in Singapore. Some of the other good food bloggers whom I got to know are:
Camemberu
Kuidaore
Food Recentrunes
Black Tie, White Lie
Ironcheflady
Milk Milk
Southernoise Gluttony
Diners, bakers, cooks, food critics, hence, food bloggers. You can also check out other food bloggers from their friends' list.
After all that effort looking through food blogs, it's making me hungry. So I'm going to end here and go satisfy my hunger. See ya!
