Around San Francisco, I’ve heard little conversations about how India may soon start becoming influencers instead of just being influenced. I have a good friend who actualy moved to India to start his own business. It’s beyond outsourcing. He says there’s a freshness in India that is pretty amazing.
Here’s one piece of evidence of this hypothesis:

On September 9th and 10th, bloggers will get together in Chennai for all things blogs. Check out their cool video on the front page.
Blogging is more than just a tool for online communication. For
bloggers and blog readers, it represents a way of life where open
communication, dialogue, feedback and collaboration enrich content,
helping us forge professional and personal relationships. From
encouraging government transparency, blogging about children,
discussions on economics, sharing poetry and literature, ribtickling
humour, online activism, movie reviews to Sunday musings, the tool has
changed lives for all those who use it and rely on it for opinion,
information, entertainment and business.
I love that, "ribtickling humor". We need more of that in the US.
They are also adopting the Barcamp.org style to allow for improvisation based on who shows up. They seem to also be very tuned into videoblogging. Wish I could go. Exciting to see the philosophy of the blogging community spread farther out.
HiYa Jay -
Brad just left a note in my LJ and mentionned HatFactory. When I saw that you’re into vblogging I just wanted to mention http://freejosh.pbwiki.com … I ended up as administrator when he went to the bighouse.

Hi Jay
Yes in India there is a lot of activity going on around barcamps and sharing of fresh ideas. Blogging has become bigger than ever before and as a matter fact is accepted as a major source of learning and sharing.
I happened to meet Freeman at Pune Barcamp, he has got some nice ideas and it was really good to listen to him.
I was planning a Blogcamp in India, if possible try to make it to it, if not then do try to participate through internet, using Youtube, Slideshare etc. I will also be discussing this idea with Freeman and let’s see how he responds to it.
