The trouble with PWiT, is not that they are Mac zealots. It’s not that PWiT is competing against Pinoy Tech Blog.
The trouble with PWiT is that is reads like a mainstream media blog, like say Engadget. Or CNET. The writers are from mainstream media - just check the blogroll which links to a mix of personal blogs and MSM websites. So, why is the PWiT crew writing for this blog and not for their own publications? Some have blogs of their own, such as Hinge Inquirer and Summit Media?
For those publications without blogs, the reason is obvious. Maybe their writers will carry their PWiT experiences into the corporate blogs. But for those with blogs, I can only guess and think, it’s their personal choice. Blogs are supposed to be personal, anyway.
Update: The official response of PWiT: All in this together.

Those people suck. They discontinued it.
Come on! You can’t be serious. What is the “trouble” you’re talking about? So what if the other site “reads like a mainstream blog”? Why all this rubbish about what a blog is or isn’t supposed to be?
You seem to be creating a fuss over what is a non-issue. So they have day jobs. So they blog. What’s the big deal? Anyone can blog. It’s like 1995, and people bragging about having a homepage. Yeesh.
ZDNet blog: a journalist-quality blog?
Well that would be the folks from PWiT!
If not, maybe our friends from Inquirer.net, GMA7, etc. would step up.
Or, if I quit my job and be a full-time tech writer/journalist… I could come up with that! But I need to keep my job…
