How about a Secret Blogging Community?
I am planning to create a secret blogging community of 10 members who can collaboratively help each other at every step of blogging. This will include reviewing, promoting and help each other really improve. I believe that sharing is a very important aspect of blogging. What I've also learnt is that when communities become as big as IndiBlogger people tend to forget why they were here in the first place leading to activities like promotion without reading the posts which I find really retarted.
The bloggers I want to include in this little community should be just amazing in their writing. I don't care if the blogs get a millions hits of just a couple of hits a day, I want them be just amazing in the kind of content they carry. Once I am able to find these 10 bloggers I will startegize future plans. As a starting point I can assure you that what I have in mind simply crazy.
I know how new bloggers struggle every day to get a few hits. Hence I am calling everyone who think they have a blog that can stand out. The blog can of of any category, from any location. I am really looking out for diversity in these 10 bloggers.
Hence, if you are interested, please comment with your blog addresses. I will review them personally and any further communication will happen through IndiMail.
Cheers,
Hanish
UPDATE : No need to enter your blog links. I'll hunt them down through your profiles. Just leave a comment.
Reason: Asked users to enter their blog links which is apparently against the forum rules. Corrections have now been made.
I was chilled out...did you feel otherwise?
Hi Hanish..I write travel blogs..let me know if I can join this group..
Hi Hanish,
I'm interested. I've added you to my network.

cheers.
@hanish
I do understand ,and that is precisely I said so. Secrecy will get you a lot of yes men and a few critics but will it serve the purpose?
Think again,
You are trying to create a new Secret community because you do not like the concept of Indiblogger promotion.
What I basically see happenig is that you and the other 9 "Selected" bloggers will start promoting each other without really caring about quality as you wil be a group and that is sort of mandated that you promote each other.I do not think that is a viable solution.
In case you plan to share blogging tips, you will be defeating the whole concept of blogging because you intend to keep your knowledge within the "Select" 10.
If i were to share my experiences I would keep an open session and would know that the ones close to me would attend and many more wh wish to attend can also join in.
Not regular, I write when I feel like... But always game to learn something new.. Let me know...
I am glad that some of you like the idea. I have already started reading a few blogs. I'll probably wait another day for more people to join. Expect my IndiMails on Monday :)
Definitely Ageerd with the idea. Do Count me in.
There are many blogging syndicates like this who work together promoting each other blog. I would be interested in this scheme. Kindy get in touch.
Greetings from the larger lunacy, Harish. I was reminded of the classic Monty Python set about the funniest joke in the world while reading this thread. Look it up on Youtube if you are interested. At the crux of human conflict is the sense of I am right, you are wrong, let us be different from the others. That is how religions work. Almost all of them claim that theirs is the way, and that all those who follow other ways are, well, doomed. The good thing about this idea here is that it is secret. That way no one will ever come to know. Moreover, it is crazy, so it does not have to keep up any appearances. And since it is secret, it will not even appear to those who are not in on it. All the best, Harish. I'm going to be in on this even if the ark is full, as a matter of fact, I have always been in, just that no one knew.
That was the secret idea!! However, my reading skills are obviously below par; apologies for getting your name wrong, Hanish.
Plus your experiences will help everyone out there on how to do stuff.
Why secret? Why not be open and help each other openly? You will automatically find the ones to your liking and form groups and communities
@Hanish - Best of luck for your venture. But in the past 3-4 bloggers came like this and announced schemes and asked for bloggers to join them. Then they disappeared. Not sure if it was because they found enough bloggers or some other reason. No idea if they implemented their idea and anyone benefitted.
And in your model, I don't think it is a good idea to invite different kinds of bloggers. Better for bloggers of same genre to come together. There is no common ground between bloggers of different genre. Anyway its your call. All the best.
Diversity is something that helps us understand different academic disciplines. I have a friend who writes on philosophy. He read an article on irrationality (which is completely based on economics) on my blog and guess what? The next thing he did was write a blog explaining the reason behind irrationality using what he learnt in philosophy. I was able to give irrationality a completely different treatment after I attended a marketing conference where one speaker briefly spoke about how unreasoned human actions are which can hence be exploited. These are just two examples. Diversity encourages ideas, more specifically newer ideas. On the other hand people from the same academic disciplines can't contribute much because all of them are from the same field and hence probably know the same things. The best ideas emerge when diverse minds meet.
Also, I don't know about others. I have a few ideas in my mind which I am looking forward to implement. I am just a normal blogger like what you are. I was really surprised when I added an IndiVine post which linked nowhere and still there were people promoting it. Funny.
See diverse thinkers are fine. But you have cookery bloggers and tech bloggers whose priorities are totally different and I don't see what they can contribute to say a philosophy blogger.
