Tags: Blogs, Top Ten Blog Posts, 2006, Review

By Ayesha Saeed and Shirazi

If one sets aside the usual blogsphere buzz, rabid trolls, rants and ramblings one notices that the year 2006 saw the Pakistani blogsphere alive to the blogspot ban, to remembering the October earthquake, to the vagaries of domestic Pakistani politics and to tumultuous events on the international front. The Pakistani blogsphere matured into a wider and more dynamic community. Light Within celebrated the Top Ten blogs from the Pakistani blogsphere and to wind up the year, we now present the best posts from 2006. It was a difficult task to sift through the burgeoning Pakistani blogsphere and pick out what we remembered as the best of the year. But here follow our favourites(in no particular order)::

  1. Dainal: Islam, Earthquake and Disasters
  2. Zakintosh: Hadd ho gaee!
  3. Bilal Zubari: Muslim Nobel Prize Winners
  4. Ali Etraz: Free, Free Pakistan
  5. Mast Qalander: Pakistani Turbans
  6. Raza Noor : Lahore
  7. Dr. Awab Alvi: October Earthquake archive
  8. Owais Mughal: Auto Rickshaw - A Socio-Mechanical Study
  9. Norbert Pintsch and Ghayyoor Obaid: Extreme Housing
  10. Abu Abdur Rahman: Free Speech in Pakistan? You're serious?

We invite you to pick out what you consider to be the best of the Pakistani blogsphere.

What are blog(s) to Me?

This blog is a resource for my thoughts. More often, I blog form impressions and or generate ideas to see how they invoke reactions, to keep track of others’ work in the fields of my interests, or simply to rant or point out things that come to my attention.

Also, I use blogging as a platform to prune ideas. This is where I meet others. And “I am neither geek, nor nerd, I am not a hacker, a phreaker, a programmer or any variety of technoid dweeb.”

What are blog(s) to you?

Internet is a lonely place without Blogs; a fine art and economics. Blogs are different to different people. I usually ask blogger friends to share their views on what is a blog to them?

Contribute your thoughts on blogging in general. In particular, write how you blog? Why? How blogging matters in life and work? Answer these questions and more (add what you feel is important dimension for you) and share {sajshirazi(at)gmail.com} here.
