Frederick Noronha has an interesting perspective on the Indian blogging scene. Some excerpts : "Bloggers seem to be working in isolated islands, rather than
building synergies with more traditional media. This probably
results in bloggers 'talking to themselves'. Journalists, or
a section of them, have taken to blogging; but are they
largely attempting to impose their traditional forms of
writing onto the blogsphere, or adapt to it? With many
different newspapers and websites starting their own blogging
platforms, India could well be fragmenting its bloggers." "Then, one might ask if the wide range of issues that deserve attention are actually being discussed in Indian blogs. For once, here's a form of the media which actually empowers. But is it being adequately deployed? Are students being encouraged to check out the power of blogs?"
