BlogCamp 2006 in Madras

Posted on September 9, 2006 by Neha Viswanathan

BlogCamp just kicked off in Madras. Good fun. Look for photographs tagged BlogCampIndia. Join us for a chat at the IRC channel #blogcamp. A live webcast here. An interesting mix of people here. That’s me, apparently giving gyan to Ravages. Dina and I attempted doing a brief Open House. Unfortunately since it was a last minute decision, it didn’t go as well as it should have. Some people are live blogging the event.

    You can use “blogcampindia” also “blogcamp”. I am trying to bring the event very exclusive with my snaps @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dreampics/ or http://www.flickr.com/photos/dreampics/tags/blogcamp/ !

    Stay Glued for more updates… ;)

    Cheers,
