Today, Dec. 8, is Yahoo! Rocks Day at the SM Mall of Asia!

Harnessing the power of the Internet to support Original Pilipino Music, Yahoo! Rocks features some of the country’s top acts, chosen by Yahoo! readers. Yahoo! readers also voted on submissions from aspiring Pinoy musicians, who will now get to perform on stage in front of thousands of fans.

If you’re outside the Philippines or can’t go to the concert, you can watch the live video stream and join the live blog at the Yahoo! Rocks site.

Here’s the list of Pinoy acts performing at Yahoo! Rocks.

Dec 07 2011 Published by Joey Alarilla under Media, Pop Culture, Tech

Social media is fun, and it’s a powerful tool that’s changing the way we work and play. Just as any tool, however, it can be misused and abused, depending on the person deploying it.

That’s why I’m glad that the Ateneo Association of Communication Majors (ACOMM) is holding its first Social Media Summit, with Yahoo! Philippines as its online partner.

I’m one of the speakers, and I’m honored to be in the company of Maria Ressa, Pilar Pedrosa Pilar, Jim Paredes, Ivan Henares, Candice Montenegro, and Rowena Azada-Palacios.

Here’s ACOMM’s 2011 Social Media Summit video.

For more information, check out this article on Yahoo! Philippines.

See you there!
