on April 18 and 19, the Manipal Media Students’ Convention 2008 (MMSC ’08).
What is MMSC?
MMSC is a formal Convention - the first and only venture of this kind in India. The foremost aim of this Convention is to bridge the gap between the Industry and the Individual. It will act as a platform for creating awareness and encouraging debate about various aspects of the Media.
Why Media?
Well, we live in a very fast world, an ‘information obsessed society’, so to say. In today’s world, it is extremely important to understand this crucial tool, which shapes – and sometimes transforms – the society.
This Year’s Convention…
A very wise guy called Francis Bacon once said, “Knowledge is Power”. Taking off from there, the Internet is a Nuclear Arsenal in the hands of today’s generation! In the years to come, the Internet and New Media will definitely make a huge difference to the way we perceive society.
Solely for this reason, the theme of the first edition of the Convention – MMSC ’08 – is ‘Communication through the World Wide Web’. Participants and the guest speakers will discuss and debate about innovations like Blogging, Podcasting, Social Networking…
Manipal Bloggers’ Meet
Ladies and Gentlemen, behold - The Manipal Bloggers’ Meet (MBM)! The first ever Bloggers’ Meet in Manipal, the MBM is open to ALL Bloggers in and around Manipal, irrespective of their background. It is also open to people who will be in Manipal on the designated date.
The Media Council
The Media Council is the dream of veteran journalist & honorary director of MIC, Dr. MV Kamath. The Media Council is to be a national body fostering the confluence of various mainstream media. MMSC will be the foundation for the same.
MMSC will be the impetus required to encourage & appreciate the inter-disciplinary spectrum of media. It is a long term goal to create & sustain a growing group of aware & responsible media personnel under the umbrella of the Media Council. Annual MMSCs will help propagate this desired awareness regarding every major section of media.

Blogger Party March 7, 2008
The latest from Blogger Buzz
Blogger Party at SXSW: Sunday, 9:30–2:00 at Club de Ville
March 7, 2008 —
Going to be in Austin for this year’s South by Southwest festival? That makes several of us!
Blogger is once again rocking it out at Club de Ville [map] with delicious snacks, an open bar, Blogger Play, and our SXSW staple: climate-inappropriate schwag.
The party starts at 9:30PM this Sunday and goes until 2AM on Monday.
You’ll need an invitation to get in the door. Members of the Blogger team will be at the Interactive conference, so just stop anyone you see wearing a Blogger logo and ask. If it’s one of us, you’ll get an invitation. If it’s someone else, you’ll still make a new Blogger-loving friend.
Want more drinking on Google’s dime? Come to these parties:
Google Party
Light Bar [map]
Saturday, 6PM–8PM
(This would be a pretty sure place to find invitations to the Blogger party as well.)
OpenSocial OpenBar
McCormick & Schmick’s (back room) [map]
Monday, 6PM–8PM
See you there!

Hyderabad bloggers together in an event
IndiBlogger.in and Balaji brings Hyderabad bloggers together in an event sponsored by Microsoft
More than 75 avid bloggers meet at the Microsoft Office
(IndiaPRwire.com)
Post the phenomenal success of the recently concluded blogger meet in Banglore, IndiBlogger.in conducted the second meet in the series at the Microsoft India Development Center, Gachibowli, Hyderabad on March 1, 2008. These blogger meets are being held in association with Microsoft. Over 75 avid bloggers from Hyderabad attended this one of a kind initiative which was held on Saturday from 4 pm onwards.
IndiBlogger.in was started by Renie Ravin, a web architect from Chennai and he is joined by a team of bloggers from Bangalore and Chennai. "Most bloggers don't realize the responsibility that lies on their shoulders, that they are a highly influential media on the internet today. With a little bit of collective thinking, bloggers have the potential to tackle various issues that plague our society. The Bangalore meeting was the test for us and we achieved our objectives of making the meeting both meaningful and fun. This has spurred us on," said, Mr. Renie Ravin.
Sudeep D’Souza, a Hyderabad blogger who’s claim to fame is a guest post on ProBlogger .net has this to say about the Hyderabad meet: “we quickly realized that there was a good mix from students to business men from the young to the middle aged, bloggers with varied interests from mosquitoes to psychology to recruiters to people who blog about everything and anything. It was a wonderfully funny and interesting session.” The Bangalore meet also received raving reviews on several well established blogs. A snippet from Sandil's post on Mutiny.in- "I must say, I've never been to a more enjoyable blogger meet ever, and no, it wasn't because of the pizzas." "The crowd was super, totally my-kinda like-minded folks. I guess the caption on the T-shirts pretty much summed it up. We blog, therefore we are."
Launched in September 2007, IndiBlogger.in has over 1700 blogs registered in the directory, with the number of submissions from bloggers increasing everyday. The website helps you find bloggers by name, city or user-generated tags (keywords). Members can organize local blogger meetings by coordinating with other bloggers in the directory. Every member in their network needs to be approved first, as cleverly outlined on their blog - "We've also added new submission guidelines for IndiBlogger, since we had many discussion forums trying to pass themselves off as blogs. Needless to say, their thinly veiled disguises failed to bypass our high-tech blog validation algorithms (our moderators)."
IndiBlogger.in has received many positive reviews from reputed websites like killerstartups.com, webyantra.net and eindiareview.com. Excerpt from eIndiaReview: "It's hard to set your site apart in a growing commodity-like space, but IndiBlogger does a good job of being distinct." Amit of Webyantra says: "They have this really cool idea about blogs badges, which denote blogs belonging to a particular genre (coder, chef, writer, gamer, biker etc) and the badges are real eye-candy stuff."
