indi³: Indian Government offers Accreditation to Bloggers

http://indicubed.blogspot.com/2005/05/indian-government-offers-accreditation.html

Indian Government offers Accreditation to Bloggers. I'm re-posting something i wrote at my blog. As i feel it is an issue that can affect all bloggers :. The Times of India reports that the Government opens doors to bloggers. This is so interesting. Am not sure what to think of it though. Found this graphic via Return of the Warblog. Thought it was funny. On the one hand i am happy that bloggers are being taken seriously, on the other, many questions and some fear running through my mind . Um, we don't n...

indi³: An unfettered vision of the world

http://indicubed.blogspot.com/2005/04/unfettered-vision-of-world.html

An unfettered vision of the world. Literature is a loose cannon. This is a very good thing. Replace "books" and "literature" in the above excerpt with "blogs" and "blogging" and tell me: does it not hold true? Para; amit varma Saturday, April 23, 2005. This looks like a nice new blog to go with your many other blogs. But amit, seriously, just like media are extensions of man, blogs are an extension of literature. Erin other words, we stand on the shoulders of giants. Yes it does.it holds true for blo...

The truth is (sigh) out there. This story in the Financial Express. Made me wonder a bit about Dilip's post on truth and lies in the Indian blogging world, and also made me wonder, not for the first time, whether the journalist who wrote the story has information that none of us do. Just curious- but the only mainstream "fake blog" I've heard about so far is the Sania Mirza one,. Where some idiot was pretending to be Ms Mirza and posting lurid comments in her name. That's one "flog"; are there others?

indi³: Ends, not the means

http://indicubed.blogspot.com/2005/05/ends-not-means.html

Ends, not the means. Simple questions that I'm sure all here have grappled with before. What happens when bloggers post lies, whether knowingly or not? What happens when they post rumours, whether knowingly or not? What happens when they post unsubstantiated assumptions, whether knowingly or not? What happens when they call others names? Those questions, in a self-perceived descending order of severity). Gives a damn anyway, and people are still flocking to listen to me, so why should I correct myself?

indi³: Hostility in the Online Medium

http://indicubed.blogspot.com/2005/07/hostility-in-online-medium.html

Hostility in the Online Medium. I posted this piece at my blog. And then felt lets talk about this issue at Indicubed. Because it affects us as a community. So here's an edit. We've also had a lot of discussion. Around it earlier, and its increasingly becoming an issue with more and more of us who have voices and engage in discussions online. See No. 13] several times, and not always for reasons I can comprehend. So what's happening here? Is it that there are just some rotten eggs? We're all learning &#4...

indi³: Truth is a function, not a value

http://indicubed.blogspot.com/2005/06/truth-is-function-not-value.html

Truth is a function, not a value. Truth is a process, not a thing. It is the process of unfolding that is truth, not the thing that is revealed. For an individual human being, the present becomes a memory. The memory is not the experience itself, but a sculpture in the mind left behind by time, woodpecker. Don't tell the truth what its like, or what it should be. How can truth be the yardstick of a civilisation whose biggest asset is imagination and fantasy? Para; Fadereu Sunday, June 05, 2005. Truth cou...

Bloggers vs Journalists or the Best of Both Worlds? I will be attending the Global Voices Online summit. On Dec 10th in London. Am on at this session :. SESSION TWO 11:30-1:00 Best of both worlds. How can bloggers become journalists and journalists become bloggers? How do the two learn to work together and respect each other? How can we combine the value of professional journalism with the power of citizens’ online conversation to help all members of the human race understand each other better? With blog...

indi³: Indian, Independent, Individual

http://indicubed.blogspot.com/2005/03/indian-independent-individual.html

Indian, Independent, Individual. What this blog is not. It is not a formal organisation. It is not a watchdog, it is not going to police anything. It isn't a crusade, or a revolution snapping at the heels of Mainstream Media. It isn't a bunch of people who all agree with each other on everything and only want confirmation of their own views. It isn't a pulpit. Or even a soapbox. What this blog can be. It can be a circle of virtual armchairs. The rest can be discussed elsewhere. Lobby somehow seems to sug...

http://indicubed.blogspot.com/2005/11/trolls-101.html

The obnoxious characters who haunt usenet groups, forums and, yes, blogs. The ones who seek to provoke reaction for its own sake, who rant, who are not amenable to logic, who seem desperate for attention of any kind. The ones who make your seriously consider shutting off comments. Care to share your experiences, and what you learned from them? Perhaps you could let us know what you think are the best ways to handle these people? Comments open. Unmoderated for now. :). How about flaming 'em back? How bout...
