Responsibility in the Internet and Travel Guides

Throughout my time searching the internet. I have googled many things about the Philippines and different catagories. What I have found in 40% of all the sites that involve Travel Guides, Hotel Guides, Blogs, Forums, and many other is that they are all way out of date. With a lot of the sites not been updated or even edited for 5 to 10 years. I think this is a embarassment and also a makes the Philippines look worse. All people who get on the internet and start these different sites, need to be responsible to take care of them, or delete them if they are not going to keep them updated. Especially with travel guides, hotel guides, food guides, review places. One day i clicked on four different sites either to find them not working, or so out of date, and even some are copy and paste from other sites that are also out of date. So as bloggers, forum users, and travel guides creators. We must be held accountable to be responisble to take care of these sites. Can you just imagine how many emails and other inquirys are sent to these sites by travelers that dont ever get a reply. Even hotel, resort web sites are sometimes weeks behind. The Philippines has a big problem with knowing how to answer emails and be responsible on the internet. This needs to change. When you are posting something on the internet, you are not only representing yourself, but a entire nation and people. Lets not get more bad publicity. Lets start making change for better, instead of being labled the same year after year after year.
