Launch of IndiSpire
Thank you all for participating in our earlier thread where we asked for random topics; now you can see why!
Check out IndiSpire, and let us know what you think!
Great!
It will be made into A suspense thriller with multiple intervals inbetween, 2 or 3 or more depending upon the number of posts you write.
Because of this initiative after so many days I have taken my writing seriously...and I'm satisfied with the outcomes. :)
Keeping the closing time at 10 would ensure that bloggers don't lose their sleep trying to submit at the last moment
Submitted my post for edition-3.
I love this Indispire format!
I wasnt blogging for awhile.. Saw this interesting Email about IndiSpire and jumped in.
Wonderful initiative, Very motivating indeed.
Is the winner going to be decided upon the number of votes? If that is the case it would suck. It's like Chetan Bhagat trumping Malcolm Gladwell (at least in India).
The topic would be selected based on votes.
There is nothing like winners for a topic.
Wonder why the IndiSpire mails have 'Skyscanner meet page' linked up with that 'IndiSpire bulb image' at the top instead of the real thing?
maybe typo
I was thinking that even this could happen...and it has...
Now der are two latest posts on home page under Indispire which are on unrelated topics- NaMo and Delhi's crumbling metro infrastructure....
There shd b a way to chk d content of the posts as well, otherwise jst to get featured on homepg ppl can do this too n not just b back from d dead!!
Amrita, Agree with you. But, how will the system judge whether we have posted relevant content?
If it looks for the hashtag in our Post, we may be smart enough to have employed the required hashtag & yet have strayed outside the boundaries of the Topic!
Anita, the only way is to report to IndiTeam using the report button and they will remove it.......But still these posts have their 15 min (or hours) of fame.
Yes, Saket. IndiTeam removed those Posts pretty fast, but they enjoyed the IB Home-Page advantage for some time!
I love the IndiSpire idea.
I have 1 suggestion-
Could we please have no Voting for this? Else, the Voting can be on the lines of the idea-submission for IndiSpire- in which we see only max 5 latest Voters. Our Post need not be anonymous, but no one knows the total number of Votes of our entry. The total Vote Count for all the submissions & the true 'Top-Post' will be known on the last day.
I feel this will-
A) Earn the quality posts their deserving Votes
&
B) Encourage everyone to read & comment on the Posts & then Vote if they like it. (just like we are doing for the IndiSpire ideas now)
Rio, I am not referring to the IndiSpire idea/prompt stage. It's just fine! Anonymity works great and an idea is selected on the basis of its strength.
My Suggestion is that let us have the same set-up for our IndiSpired Post/Entry where once we submit our entry, we can see only the latest 5 voters and not the total number of votes or voters (just like in the IndiSpire idea/prompt now)
this home page feature gonna attract more writers.
Even I feel so!
Hi Rio, read your story and found it very engaging. Was it all really true - the dream, chandrabhaga and the money?
Too busy with the contests. Maybe will try this when I decide to take my next break from contests.
hehehe, carryon dude, carryon. I am with you. btw my third part of waking from dead is up.
Shouldn't it be IndiSpire?
or is IndiSpired past tense of IndiSpire?
It should be IndiSpire if we are referring to the Noun form (as the Name of this new initiative).
Else, IndiSpired (liked Inspired) if we are referring to the Verb form!
Both are apt!
indispired post is more apt, as these posts have come up after being inspired at indispire. so rightly it is in past tense. btw, you could have included me in the snapshot but alas.
Rio, Ranjith took the snapshot before you submitted your latest one!
That too irrespective of the number of Votes!
thats actually nice
@Rio, Yes, I do have the highest votes as of now. But, now anyone can join in & still feature on the home-page!
@NSV, Chance to join & make it to the IB home-page!
@Anita I featured in the main page by being a part f top 6 forum heroes
Unforturnately thats not what i want. I want the top post on IB badge
@R your idea is simply not good
@RIo...tell me what i shud do?
I dont read/find enough posts in a day to vote
@Anita I featured in the main page by being a part f top 6 forum heroes
Unforturnately thats not what i want. I want the top post on IB badge
@NSV, Featuring on IB Home-Page is top honor! Congrats for that!
Follow Rio & Ranjith's cool suggestions for Top-Post on IB badge! Best wishes
Love this IndiSpire initiative. It is so motivating that the latest IndiSpire Posts feature on the IB Home-page.
Some of the stories moved me to tears.
Loved to be #BackFromTheDead . After writing my story & reading everyone's comments, I truly believe I am #BackFromTheDead !
Thanks IB for the opportunity.
I saw your #BackFromDead from your Write Tribe link up! I loved it totally!
Thanks a lot! Yours is great!
Waking up from the dead and watching how life unfolded without you.. Is your lover remarried? Is your mother over your loss and likewise. #BackFromTheDead Damn, I am half way through this and I am crying like a 5 year old who is lost in a trade fair or something... I think the response to this edition will be the longest post in my blog.
yo, waiting to read your post.
I finished writing finally!
Amazing initiative. It was high time I got more involved in Indiblogger activities. My lifestyle blog was in hibernate mode. Hopefully I will find some inspiration here to post more often. I already see interesting topics. Posted one of mine! et's see what happens.
Kudos to the Indiblogger team for always doing the best to help us bloggers!
Certainly a good concept. Here we get topics which are really interesting to write upon. Indiblogger is now expanding beyond shampoo topics :D
congo"s Shruti on your idea winning and truly, at first glance I wasn't much attracted by it. but when I plunged, I am glad I opted to write on this theme. I am enjoying my writeups.
I rarely log here.. sucha coincidence, i visited the thread or else I would have missed this.. thankie.. and I wrote this prompt because I have often felt like I woke up from the dead,.. thanks to my endless "death dreams".. I've enjoyed reading your opener :)
there is a bug again, unable to vote at indispire posts
bug still there. voting for posts submitted at indispire doesn't pass through.
At 10PM every Thursday, the next edition activates, and the idea with the most votes is selected. In the case of a tie, the IB server selects one at random.
Earlier it was, 'IndiAdmins select an idea' to break the tie.
