So I am at the second Blog camp at New Delhi and we have Mr. Ajay Jain, the Founder speaking and addressing the audience (which is late as usual).

With an introduction to IBNMS, Ajay says is a community initiative for people to come under one umbrella for people to interact and really communicate. Its really going to be worth your while to share with people around! I urge all of you to use this platform for you personal or professional agendas.

IBNMS is not owned by anyone, its all of us working together and we have the volunteers coming together. We have technical sessions by our in house technical experts ad we are all going to be around to help each pther here in this conference or un-conference to be precise.

I think this day is going be action filled as its the community which drives the whole day! Interesting initiative Ajay! Truly an Un-conference. We also have DFC taking a 3 hour session talking about photography in the afternoon. So if you are set out to buy a camera they are the people to talk to.

Don’t talk sales here! We are clear to people about it! This is not a sales community effort happening here. So Ajay’s session would be happening

So I have completed my session, and am back at LIVE blogging the event!

Now we have Jasmeet talking about Mobile Blogging, Jasmeet is from Nokia. Jasmeet is the founding member at rediff.com and this is his first foray into Mobiles. Jasmeet is here to talk about the next coming medium.

The world is changing

So we are now talking about history of how we all reached here!? So, the world is changing okay…what is change, Jasmeet defines it for the audience! We are talking about Traditional media now. And well, Jasmeet says, for us the whole medium changed! The primitive way of doing business was not accepted by the emerging entrepreneurs.

So what’s changed?

Jasmeet talks about a 3 pronged strategy:

Access
Reach
Engage

If you have t play your game, you have to have this ammo with you! We started getting users from the community we started getting into the community mode and the whole game changed. Well, and now comes the same words that I have been hearing everywhere 1.0 and 2.0

There was a lot of types of content being churned out by users and hence we started thinking about platforms. Jasmeet smartly talks about the 2.0 domain, and he has rightly used the engagement model and presented it to the audience in an amazingly simplistic manner. Jasmeet is now answering a question from a participant on Ad networks.

Fortunately for us the mobile ecosystem is ramping up very fast and we are happy to be in this coutry!

Types of content, its an interesting perspective into personal content that Jasmeet has provided here. Content formats have changed. Why has this happened?!

Your main home page has changed to your page, if you havent realized it yet!

The fundamental reason of why webmail was created has changed! Hmmm…interesting download Jasmeet! Since the power of the mobile has come into play, things have changed and the concept of blogging in the traditional way would change as well!

The POWER of Social Media

Jasmeet gives the real picture of Social Media to the audience and I think all are in tune! Well, the definition of PRESENCE has changed! Well, and the good or the bad part is is that its going to change again! Sharing his experience at the Mobile World conference Jasmeet gives a new starting and emerging point on the best device that you have with all all day long - your mobile phone! Well, Jasmeet gives a whole paradigm shift in the usage of phones for what you do.

GPS
Traffic alerts
Finding friends
Extending your navigation to your car

Well, so the change is fundamental! And what do you do with this information presented to you?

Search
Locate
Choose

And now here is the scary part - well, in one integrated way, whatever happens on your mobile since the moment you have connected to a buddy, everything is trackable! Jasmeet has just now given an amazing usage of the maps that we use in and out! So, people beware of your bosses

Lastly well, a powerful point made by Jasmeet, is COMMUNITY!

And to close we are talking about Speed, and size…there is a mobile device coming up with 40GB in-built data capacity and wallah there is a lot of Raw Power that you have in your hands!

We are set for a good good community ride! I agree no less Jasmeet!
