Launch of IndiSpire

@ Renie Shouldn't the name of the blogger whose idea got selected be shown on the post listing pages also?  http://prntscr.com/4aqp3v

I agree

Yes! Idea credit/mention is most welcome

this time voting is slow on indispire .. either topics are not capable enough to attarct the bloggers or no one has even bothered to visit the indispire page 

I would go with the former

Looks like everyone has been busy with Independence Day & Janmashtami celebrations

NSV agree..

Anita.. yea right, I mentioned NSV's topic headline in my first ever indispire post "what is in the name" .. even till date his foto is there coz I coiped the text direct frm indispire home page. so it wud be very nice if the idea proposer can get a mention. it will help to increase our blogging network.

I feel those whose topics get voted, should get the credit/mention in the post that shows the listing.

Also, we'd love to know the views of the idea-proponents about their voted topic.

Commenting on my post for the first IndiSpire topic of mine that got selected, one Blogger shared that she was waiting for my post as my idea got voted.

I feel those who suggest & vote for topics ought to write for them. 

Exactly , Its the responsibility to write if you have put an Idea and its selected but its not compulsion.

I have been writing for Indispire in a row , because I Vote for them and If they are selected I feel its my responsibility.

Yes, writing for your topic that has been chosen is expected... though it hasn't happened everytime.

Why is it expected? You are not asking the sponsors to write an entry of themselves in the contests right?

Expectations huh...!!! does that end anywhere ? 

I actually saw someone commenting that the person whose topic gets selected should also visit every blogpost that is written on that topic and should also comment on it. 

People have voted for it that why the topic gets selected. If you feel like writing for the topic then write if you don't feel like they don't. The person whose topic gets selected actually gets "babaji ka tullu"  so it is totally his/her own decision to write or comment or visit. 

@DVD - Even I was surprised to see my topic being selected for this week as I have given this topic really late, just two days before the closing. 

Anyways I'm happy that my topic again got selected. 

Its a good topic , But I am just sad , why only 11 votes , anyways I wrote for it (SSP)

I have posted my comment. 

Since this point made by Anita is lost among many points...I think this point definitely needs attention as my my name is not showing on the previous topics I have given. @Renie please do something about this.

 I feel those whose topics get voted, should get the credit/mention in the post that shows the listing.

I'm actually waiting to read your post on the topic that you suggested... as I believe, you would tend to have some really unique insights on it.

I think everyone is having insights on this but it is easily ignored. I will try to bring them forward. Just another blogger. Just another post. 

Indispire ka haal behal.. voting fir se down .. there are many topics but no voters !!!!!!  wats the actual problm ..  this should be something more than what we are assuming (less interesting topic etc)   Renie do somehting for indispire .. find a sponsor, conduct a contest.. distribute free gifts 

There are peaks and troughs in every activity... quite possible everyone is busy with some other activity.

I think it is because of the missing gravataars.

Half of the voters don't have profile pics which makes the page look as if no one is voting. So, those visiting the page also don't vote for any topics. 

hmm ranjith .. i agree ..

Have you two guys voted for any post ? 

Me? I want to vote for my idea but it is not allowing me  

Lol...your vote is already there that is why it is featuring there  

Voting allow us to select the best topic, do use it. 

I hardly vote as I alreday described my views .. some topics r boring for me (palle hi nahi padta agla chaahta kya hai ) then there are topics for which I think only one para is enough .. I love political issues and I have written a lot ( at my blog and ofr news websites) .. political analysis, policy reviews etc .. but now m a gov employee so I cnt write watever comes in to my mind I need to be neutral .. but yes I reallyyyyyyy wanna write for the political ideas posted on indispire .. those crying for gaza, worried for communal speechs of leaders, cursing/mocking modi ( no m not a pro BJP something still wud like to say something).. yes I have my views but m bound .. so kya khaak vote karu .. and when last time I voted for some ideas they dint get selected .. ab isme main kya karu .. moreover m hell aalsi to write but yes I did write for a topic which I myself proposed but it dint votes ( it was a short story)

yes I too want to vote for my own topic .. plzzzzzzzzz allow me .. atleast let me have one vote (apart form DVD's one vote) 

I vote for almost 90% of the Topics.I write for 100% Indispire topics .

I agree with bhavana but I guess its ok as I tend to agree with Arvind as well.

This is a shoutout for the person who gave the topic related to Chetan bhagat and Indian authors...do add the topic again. I feel that's a good topic to discuss.

Renie also voted this time 

He votes regularly,,,May be you have missed it. BTW your topic does not have much chance this week too #methinks

whose Topic have a chance ?

I noticed him voting only once or twice. 

Yes, this time everyone's topics are having atleast 5 votes 

Will my topic ever get selected? 

No.

It will! If I post controversial topics 

Vote for deceit and love also 

noway :P

Its bad omen :P

bad dvd 

Urban Legend But your Idea will never be selected,You dont even explain your ideas , Some people love brief descriptions :P 

It will! If I post controversial topics

You did not vote. http://prntscr.com/4ojfpt 

Looks like people don't vote if the same idea is posted  second time 

we wont vote for ur topic :P

You always vote 

How much I love trolling some topic on IndiSpire! 

* topics

How much I love trolling you everywhere

Love this week's topic! Oooh! I have so many real life stories to share! 

I hate this week's topic. @ND  All the ghost stories are frightening me 

I love this topic too.

You love all topics

Thanks for the compliments 

awesome

Only 9 posts this week! 

You write one to make it ten

I don't have time! 

Can someone change the topic proposed this time? It's creating war like situation..

Much bigger wars were created by some previous topics 

Lol... This week's topic is hilarious. 

Well, is it a topic... or a statement... or a protest... or what?

I don't understand two things now,

1. Why are people voting for such topics?
2. What was so wrong with the Chetan Bhagat wala topic? 

I too don't understand one thing - Why my love, deceit, rejection topics never get selected. 

Self Promotion Ahead - Please vote for my topics. 

Can we have some better ideas than 'What makes Chetan Bhagat so popular' type as in edition 38. Even if vote count is higher, can Indiblogger think tank select the best of the ideas proposed rather than picking the highest voted. #BestIdeaOnIndiSpire

+11 for Arvind.

If I was to write on the topc above, I would write about:

1. The sociological aspects of the Indiblogger community and the quest for fame.

2. Debate both sides of the question "Can we have some better ideas than 'What makes Chetan Bhagat so popular' type as in edition 38."

(a) FOR the motion: Yes, they can but they won't because they see CB as successful and he writes just like them, so they don't see why they can't be as popular as him

(b) AGAINST the motion: No, they can't because they see CB as successful and he writes just like them, so they don't see why they can't be as popular as him

3. Explore the different ways that IB can select topics.

This post is not about reviewing CB's talent, skills, success or anything to do with CB, actually. It is about #3 above. How does IB select posts. That is, if my English teachers correctly taught me reading and comprehension. All those who are using this topic to write about CB are just plain writing about the wrong subject. In my very humble opinion.

Whatever it is, the participation has surely decreased. Only one post on the topic

Now, it's two 

Congrats, Ranjith. Your wait is finally over.

Thanks 

Ranjith on cloud 9 !

Congratulations. I know how it feels. I even wrote a post about winning the badge.

Congrats. :-)
