Blogcamp Chennai : India's first truly international bloggers 'unconference' blogcamp.in took off to a dazzling start today at Tidel Park here.The full day event that includes a beach party at night was splendidly organised and had a unique 'open world' charm to it.Knowledge was being shared,pooled and the power of collective enterprise & technology was being beautifully demonstrated.A conference where everybody is supposed to pitch in with some contribution,it was live streamed at an IRC channel too.
There were in all about 200 participants from across India and some from even places like US and London.
There were 2 parallel tracks running and sessions kicked off with an open house titled 'How Blogging has changed your world' .

An impressive talk on collaborative,Disaster relief blogging was also done.The day ended with sessions on Proffesional Blogging and SEO techniques (Search Engine Optimization).
