Blogcamp Pune - II

Blogcamp pune, that’s where I am today. Its a gathering of bloggers from all over India. Well atleast bloggers from Pune and Mumbai are here. And there are representatives from rediff, sulekha and fropper, all here to promote the services that they will be launching soon.

Purplenova was one of the tool that was showcased here which can be used to host a site from your home pc. The Fropper team is going to show a demo of some product at 3 pm. There was a demo earlier given by the sulekha team. And rediff launched a new service called blogshowcase .

Till now the unconference has not been very impressive, all that we got to attend were talks by companies trying to showcase their products. I am looking forward to a few talks in the evening.

It was nice to meet Akshay Mahajan who is going to participate in the rickshaw run, check out his blog here http://trivialmatters.blogspot.com. Those who don’t know what Rickshawa Run is visit this site www.rickshawrun.com. Also the chick who I think was the CNN IBN reporter looked cute. So the event was not totally boring.

If I upload this post today then it will be from my cellphone. These guys were going to provide wifi access but sadly we never got to access the net :-(. Anyways it was a great day, I am with my friends Abhimanyu and Fritz who has come down from Goa to attend this event. For now this is it. I am getting back to the talks..

Blogcamp Pune - I

I came to know about Blogcamp pune frem my friend fritz who is visiting pune to attend it. Well Blogcamp is a unconference where bloggers will be coming together to share their ideas. Its being oeganized at SCIT Hinjewadi on the 16th of June.

Preparations to go for the event began on friday the 15th. Fritz was reaching on friday and all he and myself were planning to stay at Abhimanyus place for two days since Hinjewadi is closer to his place than mine. We had made plans of meeting at the SGS mall Mc. Donalds after office hours. This was just cause we wanted the Shrek toys that they are giving out wit the happy meal.

Fritz and abhimanyu reached late as usual and after some shopping at landmark we were off to have dinner. I got the Gingerbread man and ave still not figured out wat he says. After dinner we made a short pitstop at café coffee day on FC road and from there it was a walk back to abhimanyu's place.

The plan was to go to sleep early and wake up early in the morning to catch the bus to Hinjewadi, but we stayed awake till late. Luckly we managed to wake up on time to catch the bus and reach the venue on time. One bad thing that happened was that nobody else turned up on time.

To be continued live from the event...
