Indian blog sphere is still not using the power of blog as such. If you talk about the tech blogs or startup blogs, all they talk about is the funding and who hired whom and mostly talk about the big giants like Reliance or Tata or Web 18 group. General people don't care about who got how much funding. They care about the information that they can use for their daily life. I still feel that Indian bloggers work independently rather than working together. Every blogger wants to be BIG as if there is a race going on. The real blog culture is yet to come. Again thats just my feeling. I haven't attended any blog camps yet. @Prateek,
