Bloggers share ideas and tips

Pune: Around 50 bloggers, including software professionals and those into Indian-languages blogging, came together on Saturday at a meet organised by Indiblogger.in and Vineet Rajan, an MBA student and blogger at Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning.

Sandhya Rajan, who as ‘Enthusiastic Evangelist’ represented Microsoft in the meet, said, “India has the best pool of writers and blogging is emerging in a big way here. We wanted to contact as many bloggers from the country as possible and thus associated with Indiblogger.in.”

Such meetings have already been organised in Hyderabad and Bangalore, with Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata to follow suit. Anwin Joselyn, who along with his three friends, manages Indiblogger.in, said, “This venture was created to remove the misconception that Indians are not serious bloggers. The site lists active bloggers all over India for whom language is no barrier.”

The meet also saw tips by Microsoft on making blogs popular. Karamveer Singh, who owns 200 sites, guided about how to make money by blogging.
