‘Blogocracy’: Tri-city UnConference Lahore Camp
Thursday, 5 January 2012
Pakistan blogosphere is growing fast. Thanks to the Second the Annual Pakistan Blog Awards and the series of tri-city UnConferences aimed to bring leadership to Pakistan’s New Media voices that the awareness is also growing. Pakistani bloggers now have a very loud voice in this din. Latest, presentation of awards and UnConference session (last of the series ths year) held in Lahore on Jan 4, 2012 in FAST is a testimony to how blogs have become mainstream. In the UnConference, the group of able panelists, who seemed to be in know if the new opportunities being presented by social media - highlighted the role of blogs in all fields of human activities while most of the audience live streamed every thing discussed there. Here are my suggestions for effective and intelligent blogocracy (read democracy) in a very local context:
- Start a blog; everyone (or buy a media house or at least a printing press)
- Have your on domain (me included, and have your own niche
- We don’t need gTLDs (raise hand if anyone is applying from Pakistan)
- Urdu is a must for adding local content and someone need to take an initiative to bring the Urdu font (but don’t hold things while it comes. Remember all those who have a connected computer do understand simple English)
- Know the local fellow bloggers (some of the bloggers who are in constant communication online could not recognize each other. Remember, together you have better opportunities)
- Must share your professional secrets (tell everyone how you make money. No one can take away your share I believe)
- No plagiarism (Badar Khushnood, Google country representative says that Google is now after plagiarists)
- Pakistan Blog Award must have more categories (and bring each blogger in the lop)
