india bloggers

The India blogging industry is still nascent with many still trying to reach a large audience. Unfortunately, India has been slow to adopt the internet with some estimates as low as 42,000,000 for both dial up and broadband. There are still some early blogger “celebrities” that are making an impact and we highlight them below using a five point criteria. In order to make the list, the blog subject matter needed to be primarily about India or related to India.

I came across this article today and wanted to share with all of you. It appears India's nascent blog ecosystem may finally be moving mainstream. While years behind Western countries, Blogs like Trak.in, Pluggd.in and others are starting to have some impact in India. I believe 2008 will be a year where India blogs increase in influence but not in affluence until India's bandwidth and online usage increase.
