Indiblogger wiki

Features 2 Comments »

The Bangalore bloggers meet was a first for a lot of things.

And one of those was an online guide for ethical blogging and was initiated at the meet by Mrinal, who brought up the subject of blogging ethics at the recent blogger meet at Bangalore. Subsequent discussion revolved around the fact that most bloggers are simply unaware of what’s right and what’s not. Sridhar then brought up the idea of creating a wiki on IndiBlogger, so the blogging community can formulate the rules and guidelines of ethical blogging.

And, Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow indibloggers, we have started a wiki where you can create and edit content. Indiblogger is not going to influence what you write. But we will be looking at the entries. So, like Mrinal and other bloggers said, please keep this ethical and professional.

To start off, we should be working towards a good place to start Guidelines to Ethical Blogging for new bloggers, for bloggers who are just plain unaware, for bloggers who plagiarize content and for bloggers who are not sure what is right and what may not be.

And of course, just like any wiki, we welcome any blogger to create and edit content.

Dear Bloggers of Bangalore,

Thank you for coming and making IndiBlogger’s first meeting a success! We couldn’t have done it without all the frenzied interest, thoughtful inputs and hilarious banter that you brought with you.

We’ve posted the pictures of the event here:

If you have any pictures of the meet on Flickr, please post them to the IndiBlogger group as well.

Mrinal, the 24 year old Rich Internet Consultant (by the way, does that mean you have a lot of money?) brought up the topic of ethical blogging, and the need to create a standard for what’s right, what’s wrong, and what’s downright nasty. Sridhar suggested having a wiki on IndiBlogger so that everyone can build this page together. You know where we’re going with this don’t you?

Please jump in and contribute – even if it’s only a single line, every little bit helps.

Special thanks to all of you who took the time to blog about the meet – your testimony will bring many more bloggers to future meetings. For those who haven’t seen them, here’s a few:

Many of you mentioned that the agenda should have been announced beforehand, and that the introduction round was too long – thanks for pointing these out, among other things. Your feedback will help us make the next meeting even better.

Balaji is organizing an IndiBlogger meeting at the Microsoft office in Hyderabad on the 1st of March. If you have a few minutes, please wish Balaji good luck and send him your suggestions for the meet.
