In Hindi blogdom we call it "Chittha", a term coined by Alok Kumar the first Hindi blogger. We indic bloggers need to talk about it more so that people get to know more about it.

Are these guys joking. Wonder if they did any research at all. The word வலைப்பதிவு has been used by the Tamil bloggers for years now. <BR/><BR/>Tamizhmanam has made a greater impact on me than DP has or ever will. <BR/><BR/>Once again this is just a personal opinion,as Chenthil says each to his own. DP to me is similar to Kaps' linkin Park and God forbid Nilu's pukefest posts. These posts provide me with links of interesting posts which I would miss if not. I am thankful for these links, but that doesn't mean that any of these blogs have helped Indian blogosphere to shape an identity for itself. Come on lets be realistic.<BR/><BR/>And anon, there are a lot of us who do care about using proper words where possible. So translation does matter.WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277823372788218526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057873.post-1144475433752415722006-04-08T11:20:00.000+05:302006-04-08T11:20:00.000+05:30Prakash, thanks for the updates.
