Is it me or is Indiblogger turning into a social networking site?

@Shankar - Just browse through the topics and ask yourself how many are directly related to the blogging experience and how many are random conversaions.

I said experts because the conversations about blogging seems to have dried up so I remarked that maybe everyone knows everything there is to know about blogging.

Thanks,

Prashant.

Prashant - we hear you! I do agree that the topics have been a bit facebookish of late. Time to bring in a more blogger centric discussion.

@Renie: Bit of a relief to hear that. I thought maybe you guys were looking at expanding the focus. Time to get to work...

@Parv: Not really sure what thats supposed to mean. Are serious bloggers "nerds" then? And flowery, unfocused, non-directional blogs counted as "cool" then? Not trolling, just wanted to check...

Thanks,

Prashant.

@prashanth: I do accept there are some topics which are random conversations...

But I feel conversations are good for bloggers....and sometimestimes  some healthy conversations gives me new idea to post new topics in my blog..so its indirectly helping the purpose of blogging.. http://ballat.blogspot.com

Man I started off with agreeing to the fact that indiblogger shudnt b like the hundreds of forums on the internet where people r discussing thousands of things nd worse become a way to spam users sometimes. But as I come to the end of the discussion, my thoughts hav changed a bit. U don't knw where wl ideas come from. So let conversations happen. But moderators wl hav a big role to play here. Please ensure that none is spamming the forum. Also don't let people publicise their blogs in a cheap manner.

@Rahi Vidya: Fair enough - but how about this: Twitter. The perfect platform for doing exactly that. Short, bite-sized conversations bout topics that interest you in real time with others like you. Just a thought.

@Aneet: ah okay!
