Woman of the Earth Site
The history
The Woman of the Earth (WE) started as a forum on 18 September 2008. It was initially named as Goddesses of Beauty. It was meant to provide a caring arena where discussion about Miss Earth is well moderated.
The forum was developed almost overnight when John Soul heeded the request of Eye for Beauty for a splash photo of Jessica Trisko, the current Miss Earth. The first photo used was taken by Andres Gonzales with hair and make up of Jessica done by Noemi Melendez. Woman of the Earth has developed close relationship with Miss Cuba Organization eversince.
The name adapted was soon found out to be similar to another Site. Immediately the search for a new name was conducted and the title of the theme of Miss Earth, “Woman of the Earth” was coined.
The beginning of WE has never been an easy one. It has faced a lot of criticisms. Instead of reacting, it used the criticisms to improve itself.
Even as a very young Site, WE was able to form a group to cover the upcoming Miss Earth 2008. The first photographer contacted who was recommended by John Soul, was Joel Almagro. Joel was contacted and he agreed saying that “if you will find my service useful.” His photos then ended up as one of the best photos of Miss Earth. They have become so popular and even reached the homepage of Global Beauties.
Mamer Nilo is having close contact with Eye for Beauty and he recommended Konrad Ong as one of the photographers and she said that he is familiar with Joel Almagro. Soon there is a couple of photographers with Joel becoming the Chief Photographer. Tony Santos who is also their peer photographer naturally followed making up one of the two other Official Photographers.
Eye for Beauty contacted a “Mole” to ensure that there will be a coverage.
When the pageant season came, the system went well. The visitor statistics went shooting up.
One time, Eye for Beauty learned the news from John Soul that Carousel under Gemina Mayo is observing the forum. Gemina said that if the forum stays moderated for another two weeks, the Site will be made as a news link for Miss Earth Site. Two weeks came and we received a notice and saw our a “related news forum” link at Miss Earth Site linking to Woman of the Earth Forum. We were elated.
Soon after Woman of the Earth forum had communications with Global Beauties. WE was surprised when Global Beauties turned Woman of the Earth forum as their Official Message Board.
It was reported that National Organizers are now focusing on Woman of the Earth Forum for the flood of photos and coverage of their candidates being posted on the forum.
The live coverage of the Coronation Night on 9th November 2008 saw one of the peaks in the visitors. It was reported that there are simultaneous visitors of 1,000 at one point. Luckily, the system did not break down.
The following day i.e., the 10th November 2008 pushed the peak further when the visitors reached more than 2,600 unique visitors in one day. At least 2 friends reported that Woman of the Earth is confirmed to emerge as the top forum during the Miss Earth 2008 Pageant Season.
Woman of the Earth is a non profit group that has its members sharing their talents and time for their passion for Miss Earth. So you may ask why are google ads all over? The proceeds of the ads are quite minimal and the funds will be used for the next coverage of Miss Earth.
WE hopes to become a centre for Miss Earth fans. Its main intention is to further the prestige of Miss Earth and its causes.
We appreciate your regular visit and please be assured that WE will do our best to provide you quality feeds for the Miss Earth’s fans enjoyment all over the world. (WE)
Special Thanks: Eye for Beauty
