Renie Ravin said 5 months ago
@hrish, which videos do you have in mind? Sounds like a good plan though!
hrish thota said 5 months ago
@Renie, it could be precursor to discussion on cricket blogs (or IPL blogs)... most of the IPL teaser-videos are on youtube here - http://www.youtube.com/ipl (something like 'the heat is on')

Prashant Mehta said 5 months ago
@Renie, What about teetotalers? Regardless, this would, hopefully, be my first bloggers meet.
Vijay said 5 months ago
I'm sure, this meet is gonna' be Funntasstic..!
Jagadish Shenoy said 5 months ago
Hi Renie, You said the meet starts at 15 hrs. You didn't say what time it is expected to end. This is my first Indiblogger meet. So tell me what is 30 seconds of fame,
Satya Prakash said 5 months ago
Idea on what? anything!
Nahid Saleem said 5 months ago
Hey I am on
Rajesh Dangi said 5 months ago
Glad to be there!!
Vijay said 5 months ago
@jagadish - Well, the agenda has lots of discussions :) so.. until we stop speaking (&drinking) the meet may go on ;) you never know..! 30 seconds of fame - This is an ice breaking activity, where every blogger comes forward and speaks about him and his blog for about 30 seconds. Many would've read your blogs or followed you on twitter, this is just to do a face mapping.!
Sharath said 5 months ago
ohoo :( the RSVP is closed (again).... wanna join up!! anyone got an extra ticket? :) lol...
Sharath said 5 months ago

R. Sudhir Kumar said 5 months ago
Please see if the nos can be increased. Other wise all the best..
Dhimant Parekh said 5 months ago
Well, guess I was a bit late. If there is an increase in the capacity, please do let me know.
Aswin said 5 months ago
:( Is there a way how, you know, more of us can stand in a corner (100 'seats' rite) ? Moreover, I don't drink beer.
Ganeshprasad Puranik said 5 months ago

S.R.Ayyangar said 5 months ago
Oh my God, the Kingfisher temptation has attracted so many bloggers and I too missed for not checking the mail in time!!!!
Hitesh Rawat said 5 months ago
hey, how long this meet will last.....?? I'll coming from south bengaluru....and it'll be too far for me.......

HI, perhaps I have delayed in checking the mail. If there is some back out of from attendees. Please consider my name then. Thanks and have fun
Renie Ravin said 5 months ago
Meeting ends at 6 PM - we only have the venue for 3 hours. :(
Sourav Biswas said 5 months ago
Same here, I checked my mail late and by the time I could register, the attendee list was full. Is there anything that could be done to accommodate more people, that would be gr8. If the reason is sponser from KF, then the additional people like me can pay their own bill :) ..what say?? but it will be sad to miss the oppurtunity to meet the fellow bloggers...What say Renie??
Renie Ravin said 5 months ago
It's nothing to do with KF, it's the venue - we're trying to get more seats, will let you guys know! :-)
Piyush said 5 months ago

Lokesh said 5 months ago
This will be my second meet, expecting huge flow of thoughts and beer............
Yogendra Oza said 5 months ago
Hi Renie Ravin, What about people like me who don't drink (not even beer), so please arrange some cold drinks.... :-) I have seen the agenda but I was wondering that don't you think that better blogging means a blogger who can be create some useful contents for its reader as well as make some money for self. I suggest that there should be a half hour section to discuss about how to monetize blogs in better ways. Bloggers should share their experience and how they make money.
Arun Bhat said 5 months ago

Tathagat Varma said 5 months ago
Thanks Indiblogger team! It was my first meeting and I enjoyed meeting so many bloggers, and more importantly, the discussions, especially on whether to blog for passion or for money, were good. Is there an online chat forum for indibloggers to keep such lively discussions alive round the year ? I am already looking forward to the next one (whenever that happens)

Hey hey team, it was lovely meeting all and well, looking forward to seeing everyone again in the next meet. And now that I've met everyone, will definitely try and read up all the blogs in the next week or so! Thanks team.
Manuj Bansal said 5 months ago
I really thanks the whole team of indiblogger, sponsers Kyra and kingfisher for arranging such a successful blogmeet. This is my first meet and from now i will be regular one. For disscuison I want to say one point. See a person can do a same task for different reasons. For eg take simply proffesion of author. Some people write books for their living, Some write for fame and Some for passion So similar the blogging, any people can do it for any reason.
Naveen JP said 5 months ago
It was interesting to get a sense of the blogging activity in India. Since we ran out of time yesterday, here is my view on the difference between blogging and tweeting - Blogging is more for an OpEd activity Tweeting is more for Reporting news as is - @naveen_jp, @naveen_ookull.
Pranav Bhasin said 5 months ago
