My Interview with Indian Blog Community BlogAdda

Leading Indian blog community BlogAdda recently did an interview with me.
We talked about the use of social media technologies in the 2009 Indian elections, about our crowd-sourced election monitoring platform Vote Report India, about my approach to social media, and about my new social media analytics company 20:20 Web Tech.
In response to a question on how I promote my blog, I mentioned that the directionality needs to be the other way round. If positioned well, your blog should be able to promote you and your ideas.
I also said that the most gratifying aspect of blogging is being able to develop an idea in public over time. I first wrote about social media outsourcing more than one year back and now my series of posts on the subject has led to 20:20 Web Tech.
My advice to a new blogger? Use your blog to learn, share what you have learned and build a reputation. My blog, for instance, has led to a fellowship, a teaching gig, numerous speaking opportunities, a few book chapters, and now a company.
