Every blog has its day
Chenthil has passed the judgment. Kribs does not deserve to be a top blogger.
Senthil said "He does run marathons, he does organise blog meets, agreed. And he did organise a donation drive after the Tsunami. But that doesn't make him a great blogger." All right, so tell us dude, what makes a great blogger?
By trying to debunk the myth about Kribs you have actually made him more popular.
I am not a big fan of Kribs' writing. But, he has other enviable skills. He is a great PR man. He has tremendous energy. He runs marathons. He jumps at an opportunity to volunteer in times of disaster. He likes to learn up new stuff and pass it on. That's what probably made him popular. All right, he does goof up every once in a while with his facts etc. But Chenthil you don't pay to read him, so you don't have to get your knickers in a twist over Kribs being the top blogger. Yawn. You need to watch some funny stuff:
Balayya on YouTube. Relax my man. Every blog has its day.
That said- yaawnnn- you don't have to be a great writer to be a blogger. That's the whole point isn't it? It is about citizen participation. Blogging is not a literary or media movement. It is grassroots bro. It is personal. It allows me to write sh*t without too much hassle: click and boom, you are published. And, and, and it is free too!
If you don't like a blog, stop reading it. I don't read some blogs that biz school boys write! Me thinks they are a bunch of condescending pricks. So I don't read them.
So, who according to me is the best blogger? I think the Torpedos are a couple of bad a$$ bloggers. They write sh*t that'd make a saint go rape a puppy. They are fun. But then again, hey, that's just me.
We got my man the Madman. He is a deadly combination of stinging sarcasm and eye-opening intelligence. Yeah.
There is this dude who runs unganisha.org. I think he is an awesome story teller. I could list more but I am bored right now.
I'll leave you all with a quote from a Creative Director of HTA I met years back in Chennai. I met him because I wanted a junior writer's job. So, our man showed me his latest press campaign and asked me what I thought of the idea. I told him that it was ordinary. He told me "Opinions are like a$$ holes. Everyone has one. What comes out of it is shit."
And I told him 'Touch�!'
Of course I didn't get the job you #@#@%!

Ashok (of unganisha) writes wonderfully. I'm pretty sure you guys have met? He was at one of my parties in Chennai and also at the first Chennai blogger's meet.
I don't remember meeting him King. I'd love to meet him though. Oh yes, he is a wonderful writer. No, story teller.
Kingsley, Suman wasn't around when we met Ashok. We met at Muthu's place in Besant Nagar, you, I, Ashok, Bajji (anybody know what happened to this dude?) and a couple of your other friends.
Suman, not to defend Chenthil or anything, but jealousy was never a chenthil trait.
nice blog :D
