Spot.ph Users and Bloggers

Thursday May 8, 2008

During the last Spot.Ph Bloggers Food Tour, I was curious why they invited bloggers to this Food Tour. I want to know the purpose of the tour. Most of all, I was curious about spot.ph

I asked the marshall of our group for the Serendra/Bonifacio High Street restaurants. From what I gathered, spot.ph is user generated content where one makes reviews of restaurants and other places. Then I added, “but bloggers already write reviews in their respective blogs. What makes spot.ph different?”

Oh my, the marshall’s answer annoyed me. She said something along the lines that “bloggers are not fair…” and spot.ph will be a better site for reviews than blogs. I said “excuse me? I am a blogger and I don’t know many bloggers who just rant and rant about a restaurant”. Oh but she refused to listen to me and started telling me about this blogger who kept complaining about the food. I left the marshall because I could not stand her low opinion on bloggers.

What a snobbish reply!
