Blogging (Weblogs or blogs) started out as a hobby for individuals but it has gone much ahead with the passage of time.

In November, 2004, Jeremy Wright put himself up for auction on eBay as a blogger to rent. Darren followed suit a couple of days later. They offered consulting and three months of blogging services to the highest bidder. The response was remarkable, with stories on CBS MarketWatch, the New York Times and the Washington Post. The breadth and number of the private enquiries were striking as well. Jeremy’s auction ended at US $3350.

The message was clear: the business world wants weblogs, and they want them now. So, they formed InsideBlogging, a blog consultancy. They talk to companies about integrating weblogs into their communications strategy, help them implement the technology and sometimes help them write content for their blogs.

InsideBlogging were able to get their first client in less than one week’s time. They are also in talks with half a dozen more, including 2 Fortune 500 companies.

Yesterday, STAR Movies premiered - Calendar Girls which seemed an interesting movie after I read about it @ http://starmovies.indya.com/movies/calendargirls.html and I had planned to watch it but my family had made other plans to go to Roshanara Club for game of tambola(lotto).

It turned out to be good for us as my wife won the bumper house of the evening. Now I’ll try and get the CD/DVD of the movie.

Yesterday I watched Finding Nemo with my niece who is going to be six soon and this was part of her holidays homework.

Finding Nemo is an underwater adventure between a father and son. Nemo, a boy clownfish, is tragically stolen away from the safety of his coral reef home, and his timid father must search the dangerous and unforgiving ocean to find him. Not only that the movie is beautifully made but the kind of struggle that that boy clownfish goes through to get back to his father is really inspiring. The father fish also shows tremendous love for his baby to go through hardships to ultimately find his son.
