BLOB Awards?
Give me a moment while I dust off the cobwebs that have settled on this blog. Ah! now, this is what I call a neat, clean and an EMPTY blog :) It's been around an year since this blog has been started and now that I see it, the list of bloggers to my right is quite substantial. Apart from this list, I have a list of close to 70 odd bitsians in my blog and I am sure that x 20 is the number of BITSians who are blogging. I have an idea and I need your opinion on the same.
How about starting something like BLoggers Of Bits (BLOB) awards (the resemblance to BOB is purely coincidental, let me tell you!). We decide on a set of categories and readers (BITSians or anyone else who is been reading blogs maintained by BITSians) can nominate blogs of their choice. And once the voting is done, we declare the winners and all the winners will get a "BLOB award" which probably will be a logo (Or some sort of "graphic" that people will like to have on their blogs :-).
I personally would love to do something like this because,
Or if you can think of reasons because of which this wouldn't work, or things that we have to take care of while doing something like this, or just find this whole idea stupid, please drop in your comments too.
PS: I am not sure how many people still read this blog. So, if it's not too much of a trouble, can you post this link on your Blog so that people can read this post and voice their opinion. Thanks again!

I personally would love to do something like this because,
- It reiterates the original purpose behind starting this blog which is to bring about a sense of community among all BITsian bloggers.
- It's a nice way to appreciate blogs that make our days and have become "our daily cups of coffee".
- Sharing each one's favorites gives us a chance to showcase a list of interesting blogs that one can add to his daily list.
- IT IS A LOT OF FUN! :)

What's the point? Shaggy and Rat are going to win everything anyway !!! :))
Kidding!!
Sure thing man.
And I think you've got to make sense of membership on the BITS blog. Throw out people who've never contributed. The point to being part of the blog is contributing something. If you can't why put your name up at all?
Announce categories soon. Please include a "best-blog-maintained-by-3-BITSians-of-the-same-batch-who-have-also-at-some-point-of-time-been-wingies-and-spent-their-psenti-sem-in-VK-in-1st-sem-2003-2004" (phew!!). Phuleez!
