The Delhi Bloggers community completes 6 years!

twilight — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:06:13 +0000

It’s been another glorious year in the history of this group of Delhi’s bloggers! It seems like just yesterday when we were celebrating the 5th year anniversary of our group which is still growing, spreading further and hopefully adding value to the lives of all who are a part of it! . From my end, it sure has been one hell of an experience which has provided me not just an opportunity to interact with so many bloggers and indulge in so many events/activities with them, but has also directed me towards a new profession altogether!

The Delhi Bloggers Bloc completes 6 years on 13th Jan! (It was created after the first ever Delhi Bloggers meet on 13th Jan 2004).

In the past year we have organised some spectacular meets like India’s first ever WordPress camp where Matt Mullenweg, the founder of WordPress & Om Malik, the founder of the Gigaom network, joined us along with a lot of bloggers from all remote corners for India! This was the first such pan India bloggers/social media enthusiasts event to be organised. It was also the first such event where global attention was upon what was happening in the Indian capital, thanks to it being a WordPress Camp being fairly popular events. Such was the excitement generated during this meet that the hashtag of our event (#wci) top trended for the entire 2 days that the event was held for!

Another wonderful meet organised in the past year was the first ever meetup with a politician in India – and who else but the savviest one – a meet with Dr. Shashi Tharoor himself! It wouldn’t be entirely incorrect to state that the entire country’s twitterati and bloggerati was watching our event hashtag to see what was transpiring in this one of a kind unique interaction between a politician & users of new media.

Apart from these exciting events, we of course also had a lot of the regular fun meets, heritage walks, photography walks, food meets/tw-eatups.

We would love your suggestions on what all you want to do in the coming year (both online/offline) .

A big thanks to everyone who’s been a part of this journey whether it was by helping organise meets, participating in meets or even being a silent spectator of the goings on.

If you aren’t a part of this community and want to join us, here’s how to join us on the Mailing List, Flickr, Linkedin, Orkut, Facebook, Twitter. You can also stay tuned in to our website by subscribing to the rss feed here.

Let the drums roll!

Delhi Bloggers Bloc Presents DBM#30 – Meetup with Shashi Tharoor

twilight — Wed, 20 May 2009 10:49:40 +0000

Ahoy Bloggerati and Twitterati! Here’s an opportunity you can’t afford to miss.

Meet Shashi Tharoor, one of the most charismatic leaders we have in the new parliament in an exclusive informal Meetup with Delhi Bloggers Bloc.

As you know, Dr. Shashi Tharoor, has been recently elected as the Congress Member of Parliament, from Thiruvanathapuram, and much like us bloggers & social media enthusiasts, is himself an activist and excellent writer (award-winning author of eleven books). He has put in a lifetime of work in the United Nations and was India’s candidate to succeed United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2006, and finished a close second out of seven contenders. Dr. Tharoor was also named a “Global Leader of Tomorrow” by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. You can read more about him at his official website http://shashitharoor.in/

One of his recent tweets (@shashitharoor on Twitter) will give you an idea of how he has also adapted well to the 140 character space of Twitter:

“First day in Parliament. From the sublime (the historic Central Hall for the Cong legislators meeting) to the bureacratic (8 forms to fill)!”

AGENDA

Introduction to the meet
A few words by Dr. Tharoor on his impressions of Twitter and Social Media.

DBB presents #DBM 29 – a meet for Delhi’s bloggerati and twitterati!

twilight — Fri, 01 May 2009 20:08:36 +0000

It’s been quite a while since we last met! India’s first WordCamp was sure the coolest event we have ever organised (and at the risk of sounding pompous) or that India’s online space has seen for that matter going by the superb feedback we received! . We’ll be updating this blog with the details of that event soon for those who missed out on it.

We understand junta has been revving up since quite some time to have a meet but we have been in the recuperation mode after WordCamp India . But not anymore! It’s time for the next meet (and many more to come) – DBM#29 – which is a Delhi tweetup as well as a bloggers meet. All twitterati and blogerati are invited!

Now for the real thing:

When : 9th May’09 (saturday), 5:30 pm onwards till abt 7:30-8pm.
What : get acquainted with each other. Demystify twitter for those who dont know it yet. Network, socialise, laugh, check out the venue, see the exhibition, shop, snackup, drink, tweet, blog, be merry! The venue is wi-fi enabled. Snacks and refreshments would be provided. We’ll be collecting a nominal amount of Rs. 50/- from everyone for the snacking part.
Where : The maximum store, 5-J/1, Ground Floor, Shahpur Jat, New Delhi – 110049. t#: +91 11 26493150, 46168026; Map

Please give your ayes and nayes here in the comments section or you could tweet them keeping @delhitweetup in your confirmation tweet or you could confirm in the Facebook event of our Facebook group or give your ayes/nayes in our mailing list.

For any further info please contact Twilight Fairy (Priyanka) at 9811511719
