Desi Blog of the Day Redux

Welcome to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my combined feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss a single post. Thanks for visiting!

You might have noticed that I haven’t done a Desi Blog of the Day post in the last few days. That’s because I have been asking myself a few questions about the series of late.

But, first, a little background. I started my Desi Blog of the Day series because -

I found myself thinking of the joy I felt when I first discovered blogs, and realized that I still feel it when I read some blogs.

I also incorporated a BlogTipping element in the series -

by offering three compliments and one helpful tips to the featured bloggers

- because even very popular bloggers often focus exclusively on the writing part and don’t really leverage the true potential of blogging in terms of optimizing design/ usability and/ or building a community.

However, I wasn’t really satisfied with how the series was shaping up. Here are some questions I have been asking myself -

Is there any value in featuring well-known blogs all my readers are probably reading anyway?

Should I focus exclusively on new or relatively unknown blogs - ‘Must Read Desi Blogs You Probably Don’t Read’?

Every Day is a BlogTipping Day

May 1 is the first anniversary of BlogTipping Day.

But, what’s BlogTipping? BlogTipping is an idea started by Easton Ellsworth of Business BlogWire. The first calendar day of each month is a new Blogtipping Day. To participate, you publish a blog post in which you link to three unsuspecting blogs and offer three compliments and one helpful tip to each blogger. What I love about the idea is the element of selflessness that is built into it.

Blogtipping is a great way to show your appreciation of your favorite blogs, so grab your blogtipping icon and participate in the May 1 Blogtipping Day anniversary.

As for me, while I’ll participate in all Blogtipping Days from here on, I’ll also spread blogtipping love in my Desi Blog of the Day posts by offering three compliments and one helpful tips to the featured bloggers.
