I will work hard on my blog network, follow the arguments here and strive to make it big.

What is the best dedicated server web hosting company?

I’m want to build a web site for my supervisor.

Thanks,

1. There are 50+odd low paid youngsters in India who keep scouring the internet and lift content created primarily by others.

2.This content is then mercilessly stolen(including images) and put up on Instablogs.

3. Most of Instablog bloggers have no opinion of thier own and quite possible they have never used the gadgets they write about, never been to places they talk about and never seen the movies they review.

4. Instablog is a outsourcing model for blogging to server Americans from India. Scour the information from American sources and present it back to them.

4. They do citizen journalism. where they never report from the field , and steal news stories from so called traditional media sites and link them on thier blogs as breaking news. Look at IndiaDaily blog. It is an outrageous.

Is this is what future of blogging is? It is bloggers like instablogges who will give blogging a bad name.

>> 1) Your company is based in a country with over 1 billion people in it, so to gloat that 75% of your traffic comes from outside of your country is a bit strange to me. You guys could be a powerhouse with just Indian-based traffic alone. To each their own though right?

Ignorance is bliss, my dear friend.
I have done a post on it few months ago, with a graph of Google Analytics. You can find it here. . If you want more graphs or proofs, please don`t hesitate to ask.

Though you are right we could be powerhouse with Indian traffic alone, but right now we have only two blogs out of 130+ blogs catering to only Indian audience. Anyways with the advent of broadband penetration in India, not only Instablogs Network but many many networks will see a sharp rise in Indian traffic in coming days.

>> 2) Yes I remember those discussions. You even attributed many of the ideas in your portal last year to the ideas that Rundle freely threw out there for you.

I have great respect for Mike Rundle, and have always attributed him as a top notch programmer and designer, though many times I haven`t agreed with him. But if you think Rundle inspired Instablogs Community and we worked only on his ideas, you better start your medicines again. The discussion took place in Sept 06, and the community was launched next month in Oct 06.

>>3) We are all aware of what you have done with Instablogs since you continuously remind us of it and its great and we think that moves you beyond the blog network category. If you kept up with the comments Tyme even gave you props earlier on (don’t think that will happen again though).

I think you were the first one to remind how great 9rules is and each and every other blog network is a failure, so I thought you might be happy to hear others progress too.

As I told earlier too, Instablogs is still a network of blogs and our core produce is the blog posts’, in which we help bloggers to monetize their work and earn profit for ourselves too. By adding features or social functonality we haven`t changed our product but the way how our customers (readers) get it. We consider Instablogs still a blog network.

>> 4) What is your fascination with Fine Fools? and then selling that network for thousands in just a 5 months span then I am guilty as charge. It was a failure.

I have no fascination with finefools. Just wanted to remind you “Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”

If you want to tell what a decent blog network earn in less than a week, you made by selling the entire blog network and is a run away success, then I agree with you.

More power to ya. .
