Kolkata Bloggers Meet 09 - The K-factor rocked

Sorry guys, me being the usual late latiff is posting this blog a week later than it was scheduled for. I regret it, honestly. But since now I am writing this blog, I should better get to the point fast. So here goes:

A Kolkata Bloggers Meet was organised last week on 8th August by www.webreps.in and www.indusnetacademy.net together. This was the first ever bloggers meet that I visited. And to tell the truth I was surprised. Surprised not because of the crowd (a crowd is always expected given to the fact that people are so informed these days) but because the immense insight I got about the web industry. Honestly speaking, I am a laymen when it comes to technical stuff of things. I know that I have to click 'Publish Post' and my blog will be up there. Any thing more than that and I am in trouble. Oh! Forgot to add that this event was held in CCD in Salt Lake Sector V, the one below the RDB Cinemas. Now some pictures:


This guy gave a presentation on some trends of blogging and why we need blogging etc. Sorry I forgot his name. But I loved his presentation. Specially his witty inserts in the middle of coversations. You rocked Mr.

There was another guy who presentation I liked. I remember his name but I dont have his picture. Irony isn't it? His name was Abhishek Rungta and he gave a presentation on 'Monetisation of Blogs'. Now thats something I know nothing of. You can see it. I have no ads on my blog! But I liked what he said. It was all new for me.



Some fellow Kolkata (or was it only Kolkatans?) bloggers listening intensely to the speakers. I guess they were enjoying it too. Its clearly visible on their face isn't it?












Arun Agarwal (Finally, I have both the picture and the name together) gave a presentation on 'Reputation Management'. As usual I didn't knew much about it. But I liked what he said. I guess he is a man with great knowledge of the web industry and what companys or individuals can do with it. I liked him throughout the whole presentation.







And now the best part (It ain't over till its over right?)
They gifted all the bloggers something that I never expected.
1.










A beautifully designed T-shirt with a smart messege on it.









2.




And a tutorial CD on Dreamweaver.








I liked both the presents. Thank you webreps and co. Thank you for a lovely evening. Thank you for adding to my knowlegde of web. Thank you for everything.

Great post!

I too had registered but could not attend the meet as some urgent work cropped up at the last moment. After reading your post, I feel bad - especially for missing out on the free goodies :-)

Anyway, it's good that Kolkata too is catching up on things fast. First, there was a workshop in Feb this year that was immensely helpful for content writers organised by Pritam and Co. of Pentasect, and now this bloggers' meet. Hope that I'll soon have something similar to attend to.

See you there then. Keep bloggin in the meanwhile though!
