Okay.. Yet another update. Though i have the sinking feeling very few people will read this on time. The blogger story will go on air NOW. The latest I know is that its going on air on the 8 and 9 'o' clock bulletins on NDTV 24*7 on 13th October. Thats right - tonight.
But if you miss it - take heart. We are planning to do a longer story on blogging pegged around this issue. Do leave your thoughts here on possible angles to such a story.
The last time we did such a story I think there was some confusion on who the target audience should be. Should it be the vast majority who do not blog and thus run the risk of perhaps not getting them interested in the topic or do we talk to bloggers but run the risk of telling them things they already know. I guess like a good general news feature it should interest anyone - So how do you do that? Will be picking my brain over that.

Hi Alaphia:
that great news kudso to ndtv
was away i missed the 8Oclock bulletin but ill keep a watch on the news at 9
my take on this iipm issue
Was it opinions or allegations why is iipm suing indian blogger ?
http://puneetworld.indiablogs.org/archives/2005/10/opinions_vs_all.html
a summary inshort point i have covered
-Freedom of speech Allegations VS opinions
-did gaurav make allegations or expressed his opinions ?
-Its morally unethical amateurish to sue someone for their opinion
-Are indian cyber laws redundant ?
-freedom of speech support badge few designed by me
and also not to mentioned “getting sued is not in my priority list thus a little disclaimer below in my postif at all its needed or not time would tell ”
lol
Well I missed the story! I am in office! :( can I see it some place?
:( Missed it! Is there anyway it is going to be repeated tonight (after 12 or something).
Anyway, would wait for the big story! :)

Hello,
please pardon my stupidity,but first time here and haven't had adequate time to read your post properly, so must beging by asking are you with NDTV? if so, please ask your bangalore desk to get in touch with me- I am one of the founders of the bloggers of bangalore community, and we are planning to take out a protest march to IIPM, bangalore next week, to hand over a formal letter of protest. in the event of their refusing to accept it, which is very likely, we are willing to hand it over as an open letter of protest to the media.
oops, sorry. my contact details: 9243122682/56995562. arka.01@gmail.com

I was glued to the TV set but did not see a scrap of news about this, was it really aired or was it a special program for Mumbai?
yeah me too... was glued to the TV watching NDTV.... i even watched those stupid ads lest i miss out on our story.
Hi Alaphia
i have an intresting finding
Is iipm spamming google , msn and yahoo search engines ? i would say Yes
http://puneetworld.indiablogs.org/archives/2005/10/is_iipm_spammin_1.html
its shocking .. probably you could include it in the next story
Damn, I can't see it in California. Alaphia - do you have a web relay of this story.

Hi! Varna here? Has the story been aired on NDTV already? Is there a video reel of it on the net, we can get a copy of? Wasn't it supposed to be tonight?
Alaphia, r u not the one who was with TMG, Chennai ??
Hi Buck,
Yes i am the one who was with TMG, once upon a time... a long, long time ago.
that was 4-5 years back. I remember meeting you at the Chennai Office with David.

Alaphia, the dean of my institute said he saw somehitng on the NDTV last night related to this story. Any chance of watching it again? Any updates anything or something on the web?
Al, don't you think that Blog is nothing but an old wine as they say in a new bottle? All those free websites we used to have in the mid to late 90s? Geocities (before Yahoo took over and screwed the community feel and commercialising it?), Fortunecity, Tripod (these still exist, but ain't glamorous anymore) etc etc? As a once-upon-a-time Geocities Community Leader, I should know. Only that Blogs are another easy way out for those lazy to keep realtime diaries... one because too lazy to put pen to paper in these days of Word Processors and two - it is someone else's space and I have a broadband at my disposal and I can rant (like Samanth's Weblagh says... no editorial cuts on wordlimit or freedom of speech!)? Penny for my thoughts somehow?
Hey Alaphia...
Have been going through your postings. Its quite fascinating the way you put your views across ... the choice of words & phrases .... looking forward to some more great stuff...
