Blogging has been defined many times, many ways. It’s mostly about personal publishing, and most would agree. A person starts a blog, and he or she writes about his/her interests, daily musings, and would usually link to interesting things elsewhere. Some would move on to write about more non-personal items, treating their blogs like magazine or newspaper columns of some sort. Some even move on to blogging for income. I should know, I blog for a living, myself.
But in most of these cases, blogging is done as a one-man (or one-woman) thing. When the SplashPress team conceptualized Froodee, our first thought was to bring blogging to a higher level. Sure, team blogs are also quite abundant, and I’ve been part of team blogs since I started problogging (there’s the Blog Herald, for instance, but I also started out with other team blogs like Pinoy.tech.blog, Forever Geek, and Blogging Pro. But here on Froodee, we prefer to call ourselves a community blog.
We are a community of like-minded people with different interests. Froodee is not a niche blog, as you may have noticed. Our topics are varied–these include entertainment, business, family life, science, healtyh, leisure, and even science. Each one of the contributors has his or her own interests and passions, and we give them the opportunity to share their thoughts on these. We are like-minded in that we love writing about our passions, and sharing our thoughts with the rest of the world through blogs.
And then of course, a community will not be complete without the participation of you, our dear readers. So please feel free to leave a comment and be part of the discussion. You’re always welcome to share your thoughts. Hey, soon enough we’ll be welcoming guest bloggers, too.
Froodee has been online for just a couple of weeks now, and we can expect a formal launch/announcement soon!
The earthquake that hit Haiti is one of the worst in history, and we are all witnesses to the suffering that the people of this country are going through. Even though you and I may be worlds away from Haiti, there are many ways by which we can help. For sure, you have [...]
One of the biggest things I’m raving about here in the USA are those tech gas pumps. You know what I’d mean if I say their pretty secure, fast and easy to use. I remember in Asia when I’d pull into a gas station how I’d hand over my credit card to a gas attendant [...]
Did you know that sales figures show (consistently) that during a bad economic period, more cosmetic products are sold than usual? These figures also show that after a tragedy occurs in an area, sales also increase.
What can we gather from this information? Just as Leonard Lauder said, tough times equate to a higher [...]
The whole Duggar family is no stranger to the limelight. They have been featured on TV, magazines, newspapers and every member of the family is used to the coverage. Last year, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar announced that they were expecting their 19th child. Naturally, they were once again exposed to publicity.

We’re right smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. Have your kids gotten into the spirit of it all yet? It saddens me that today, some kids would rather play sports via the PlayStation (or any other gaming console) than actually go outdoors and kick some butt. With the Winter Olympics [...]
Every house has a first aid kit. That is basic knowledge. But do you have an emergency kit that will help keep you alive just in case you experience a natural disaster? At this point, many families in the Philippines are creating their own disaster emergency kits, if they haven’t got one [...]
