IB of the Month Aug 2009 - Category Selection
Hey guys, last time the discussion for holding of subsequent IB of the Month for the month of May started as soon as that for April got over.
Just half a month left and we'v not started discussing the topic for the month of June!
Till it officially gets started, I thought of generating sum debate on the next month's topic.
UPDATE FROM RENIE:
And the contest is back! Let's decide on a category for August 2009 - yes, we have decided to skip June and July in order to catch up!
Reason: Update
Congratulations to Sakhi for the winning the IndiBlogger of the Month award and entering the hall of fame!
Seriosuly I was also thinking to suggest the same..better have 10 nominations so that guys can read fully (60 is a huge number N v cant read everything) n vote depending on the quality of the post! Wish the moderator takes a note of this !
hey mods,
I agree with pal on that topic. anyone who just goes to site will look at the first few blogs and vote nad the quality posts might stay back too. please see to that you guys read and give ten spots for voting which gives good quality.
I didn't see the nominations info either. And can I suggest something here? Since many blogs are nominated, can the Mods shortlist only the top 10 blogs (I mean, by reading and judging the entries) for voting by the rest of us. That way, the voting is more fair to the quality of writing, rather than popularity of the blogger? Just a suggestion.
Thanks :-)
apologies to all the bloggers,moderators for the above.The notification was sent to me in the mail about the indivine2.0(whic i overlooked..and whic of course is my fault)..I am not supposed to be shouting on the Indiblogger.in for my foolishness...I contacted Indiblogger and they agreed to accept my nomination,whic in my opinion is really really great of them...they say it right..'yeh aapka badappan hain' yeah same thing happend :) ..
I Just want to point out the generosity and considerate attutude of the INDIBLOGGER moderators :)thanks a ton..again..
No probes dude, and sorry for the trouble. We sent the message about the contest along with IndiVine cause people may not appreciate too many emails from us in a day!
but this is sheer injustice..i dit know the nominations were open!!!i am feeling terribly sad...this is insane...oh god make something that i stop abusing!!many times i have got notifications for humor,social issues and all these...i couls never participate..and now??
some moderator speak up!!not that i deserve to win..i dont belie that too..at least i deserve to nominate my blog...and how dare you send me a notification asking me to vote,when you dint send me a notification asking me to nomiante blog(s)???
some one speak up...this is terrible..I am sorry but this is bad..i cheked my inbox like 100 times..and no news of nominations..
ok its fine...Ill cast my vote and go away from here...how come you ppl dont mail us saying the nominations are on??
oh god..this is preposterous..i never got a notification that nominations are open...this is insane..now how do i include my blog...(which happens to have a main theme-original litereature)...I am saddended deeply by this...****..****..****..
oh hell!!they also censor things here...??this is too much...Now someone help me to add my blog too..:(
I guess, these do not follow among any of these categories!
The contest on original short storiers sounds exciting .I have submitted my 5 hindi short stories for nomination just now and now would wait with crossed fingers to see whether they get nominated or not.since literature is a passion for me, I look forward to read some great original stories during the contest .
Cheers,Gee

Hi sonya, my nominations just got accepted. Looking fwd 2 read ur nominations as well
I think this is a great idea. I can contribute something of mine! :) Writing is my passion and writing fiction more than anything. I wonder if published stories (in print) are allowed for this contest? I have a few unpublished ones too, so depending on the rules I shall apply. Thanks.
So now u want 2 raise d bar for us
Just kidding.. well, stories should be original, i.e. self written, published or non-publishd doesnt matter.. so jus hop on
I guess, most of the stories the bloggers would be contributing would be published - if not in their books or magazines, atleast on their own blogs .. I know that sucks!
Mera number kab aayega?
When will we make business and finance as IB of the month topic?
waiting, waiting, waiting.... :-)
