If Senator Sotto tweets and blogs … #sottoblogs #Sotto1stTweet
S enator Sotto hits back at bloggers while he delivered his speech this Tuesday afternoon.
Senate President then “pointed out that there is a need to succinctly define the rules of blogging in the Philippines, a proposal which Sotto quickly backed up.”
In a nutshell, Sotto felt he was cyber-bullied.
Perhaps Sotto is just embarrassed and does not really mean to regulate blogging. Most bloggers are now vigilant in case laws will take place to regulate blogging.
Perhaps Sotto is not aware of blogging as a medium of free speech. I then thought “What if he blogs?”.I then threw the question in twitter for suggestions on domain names.
Most of the domain name suggestions (e.g. Sottocopy.com IPlaigarist.com) revolved on the plagiarism or copy and paste issue . The plagiarism is moot and academic because the plagiarized sections have been stricken off the record. Other names were quite funny like @cocoy’s “The ProCopier.com OneBlogUniversity.com Sotto.me i.sotto.am.”
My personal choice is “iSupportRHBillNa.com” because I would really want him to pass the RH Bill.
@mangburns now wonders what would be his first tweet.
I suggested “I AM SORRY”
Here are curated tweets of suggested domain names in case Sotto blogs. Any more suggestions? Use hashtag #sottoblogs #Sotto1stTweet
