Hey..
Every year a set of prominent and talented people of every field come together and discuss, evaluate, vote and award the best performers in that field. Some of these award ceremonies are very popular and call for huge media coverage on a closing eve. Others are popular because of what they represent, mean and their impact. The Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, Miss Universe/Worlds etc., are examples of the former. The Nobels, Pulitzers, Bookers belong to the latter. Every year millions of us track and follow and sometimes vote for these awards religiously. There is something about competition that keeps people going. There is no one field or industry or subject or whatever without a top 10.
So what about blogs ? The bloggers are becoming a huge community on the internet and my friend Raman seems to think that it is becoming a very crowded place . And one always finds it tough to bookmark interesting blogs to follow religiously. If only there was some jury that declared the following were good blogs to follow up for lazy bums like me who wouldnt want to do their own searching....
Well, the wish is true. Atleast for the desis. I came across the site http://indibloggies.blogspot.com/ which confers awards for BIOs. (Bloggers of Indian Origin). They award bloggers in a bunch of categories. Looks like they have been doing this since 2003.
As I went through some of the nominated blogs and the winners, I realised a lot of interesting facts. For example, people blog a lot in their vernacular languages. For example, Dubukku, Desikann etc., are tamil blogs. Likewise there are blogs in Malayalam, Hindi etc., Many of the blogs were very focused like Sadagopan's blog on emerging technology trends. A few of them have multiple authors and operate like a e-zine and/or a collaborative space.
Anyways, I guess we all know whom to nominate for the next year awards. For those of you who arent smart enough to guess who it is, here is a hint - he is the one who sees the road. (come on people, wasnt that a good cryptic?)
Chao..
