Pune, June 16: Discussions on topics as varied as censorship and citizen’s journalism, ‘Blogcamp Pune’ — Pune’s first blog unconference held at Symbiosis Centre for Information Technology (SCIT) — was attended by over 120 bloggers — both the recent converts and the veterans — from Pune, Mumbai and Goa. The one-day unconference being the city’s first blogger-targeted event, there were informal discussions peppered with tech-talk. It also provided a platform for unmasking new-age concepts aimed at the net-savvy generation. While Sulekha.com’s Sudhir Syal spoke about blog print, the website’s attempt to take blogs into the print medium, Rediff.com launched its ‘blogshowcase’ (platform to showcase their blog) www.blogshowcase.rediff.com. Besides software pundits, many young bloggers nurturing hopes of venturing into the blogosphere thronged the camp. “Camps like these double up as cesspools of novel concepts and also act as indirect market spaces,” said Mythili Rao, a blog novice. “I wanted to know how I can commercialise my blog,” said Pune-based software professional Tejas Nandarshi, who sees blogs as a money-making venture. “The blog camp has been a source of many tips on how to increase one’s blog traffic and readership,” he said. Vidya Shastri, a Reiki instructor from Pune plans to start a blog informing masses about the nuances of the healing art. “Lots of people are unaware about Reiki’s power to heal. Blogs are an informal medium through which you can communicate and educate,” she said. Rajesh Segu, who had been a part of the first blog camp held in Chennai and one of the organisers of the Pune blog camp, said there were many developments since the first blog camp. “Though there were fewer attendees, the spirit remained the same,” he said.
