Bloggers, we're pleased to announce that the IndiBlogger of the Month contest is back after a looooong hiatus, and nominations are now open. Unfortunately, tech bloggers will have to wait a bit more as the category has already been chosen by our new sponsor GiveIndia.org.

The category for this month is "Social Blogging", and there are additional prizes on top of the usual IB of the Month prizes.

More details here. Enjoy! Smile

I find the details given in the page is vague. Could it be explained further?

Can it be about any social cause? or just about donating etc to the poor people (like it says on Indiblogger site)?

Hi guys, 

I can see there are some doubts cropping up. Hope these help:

@Cherian: The blogging is for social causes and not for social media. Social media would have become too niche :) 

@Moulee: What are the details you are looking for? Based on those we could modify the contest page itself. 

@Avada: This could be in any way related to social causes. Does not necessarily have to be giving or charity. It could be your opinions or something you did, anything. :)

Cheers,

Vinni

Awesome, Renie! I am glad to find this contest back after such a long time!

Anyway, Social Blogging is a good topic.. Now, let's see what kind of nominations we have..

Another Request to Renie- Since the contest's name is IB of the Month, please keep it a monthly event and not a 6-monthly one. Please!

"Social Blogging" !!

That is a nice concept. Yet to see a blog in that category. Waiting for the nominations to pitch in and to learn more about social blogging.

Waiting for a day when I too can participate in this contest

Yes vineet, Blogging for a social cause conveys the meaning better, but as a buzzword "Social blogging" is good.

Social blogging could be also community blogging, we have social networking :) So is indiblogger social blogging? :D 

Ok, renie will kill me now.

what the heck is social blogging? I would have loved to nominate myself but since Iam a misanthrope doing social service by ensuring that the said society doesnt take themselves too seriously, i guess iam in the in between category...

but if theres any blogger out there who is not posting poetry is , i believe, doing great social service..

To create a iGive page on GiveIndia i have to list a NGO. But, we need to pay 5000 rs to GiveIndia to get a listing. I am not sure, how many people can find NGOs who can sponsor a listing for us to win a prize.

Hi Anita, I just created a Give India Page for myself. You do not need to pay any money. You just need to select an NGO for whom you want to raise funds. Just check the page I made right now. http://www.giveindia.org/give/pledgepage/vinolxi

Maya there are many things you could write. A poem or ghazal is just cool! Infact it would be very different from what others would post. You must write one!
