Now, I am in India; but first thing I do on Monday mornings is to read your blog, without fail. And I have also forwarded this link to so many of my team members. I am absolutely finding it 'cool', this is the way to go. -Santosh Basab,

I am absolutely finding it ‘cool’, this is the way to go.

Join a popular blog and raise some dust. First don't reveal your identity and then slowly reveal it. Draw the crowd, period. First of all, a blog is nothing but an online diary written by the author. If you are allowed a peep-in, that's magnanimous enough. If you begin to claim `rights' and define the way the author should to write - you reveal a slice of your personality...an egghead. Did you say you are from B-School ( IIM-A)...? Holy F. This looks like another way of saying “me-too”. Join a popular blog and raise some dust.

Those who blog, those who comment and those who lurk. I guess this discussion has not included the last category which should anyday account for some 80% of people in "blogworld". I have got a fat opml from <a href="http://manishksri.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-netvibes-opml.html" rel="nofollow">my netvibes</a> and I rarely comment. Does that mean anything for this discussion? Those who blog can just blog on what they want to blog. If they get comments thats an encouragement. If there is a discussion in their comments thats a bonus for the lurkers. ~mks There are three kinds of people in the “blogworld”. Those who blog, those who comment and those who lurk.

Firstly,(my guess) Basab's objective of writing is to voice his opinions and thoughts and not necessarily get in to an interactive discussion. And if thats the case,this is the way to go.

Go ahead, retain your false sense of pride and your dual identity. No wonder, school is no sustitute for eduction! Basab, continue the good work. you are doing good. watch your steps and you will attract thousands.

Since the first time I read Basab's, I have been visiting his blog regularly. I find his way of running his blog very insightful as well as useful. Interestingly, I and Basab dont know each other at all (We just have one connection between us - that I work for an IT major where he was working before, which even Basab is not aware of.) I just happened to land in 6ampacific someday and I keep visiting ever since (as well as suggest Basab's to others I know). To me, its the priviledged information that I get to read from blogs. I am not demanding for service levels, simply because I dont pay for reading Basab's; I just enjoy reading whats interesting to me and Basab has many things thats intersting to me. Keep going Basab; you have many visitors like me. Happy new year, Cheers, Durai I disagree with you Annoyed. Since the first time I read Basab’s, I have been visiting his blog regularly.

Just a small note: other bloggers have day jobs too. Which we do for passion. In the early days of start-ups we all have to put in hours which we would not like to put in. And Seth Godin can probably get away with what he does on his blog because he is a tad better known already. Would you not agree? Your blog after all has to be run by your rules. I suppose many wouldn't return (as my other housemate suggested I should do too) instead of spending time, as I did, stating points of view which would be definitely unpopular.
