Alternative to Blog World Expo.

Like millions of bloggers from all over the world, I can't attend the Blog World Expo though I would love to meet some of virtual blogging pioneers like Pete Cashmere, John Chow, Yaro Starak and Gobalakrishnan.

I am thinking of organizing a meeting of bloggers in Chennai though it cannot be a real alternative to Blog World Expo, it will give a chance to meet the intelligent bloggers of Chennai and Banaglore.

I have many to things learn and some ideas to pass on. In fact, I want to start a bloggers club in Madras (Chennai) and I want it to be a monthly meeting affair.

I welcome suggestions.

What happened at Blog Expo?

You, I and he wanted to attend the much advertised Blog World Expo but repressed the desire due to various reasons and money is of course the primary reason.

I was expecting a detailed blog post about what happened at Blog World Expo by someone and I am rather happy to find a nice article by one of the blogger that I have subscribed to his blog feed.

In his post titled, "Did Blog World Expo suck?", he was candid about his observation and conclusion. Sure, he met Darren Rowse, John Chow, Jeremy Shoemaker in the expo, had a chat. But he didn't gain anything fruitful at the conference as the attendance was mainly by new comers to the blogosphere.

The blogger Paul Piotrowski felt the absence of Google, Microsoft and Apple at the expo.

Please read his blog post to get a second hand view of the Blog World Expo.
