Here is our try on answering a few of the questions people keep on asking us:

Why are you doing this?

Coz somebody had to. We had begun last year by saying that it’s the Indianised version of bloggies..

So what’s on your agenda?

As flashed in our banner above, “showcase the excellence”. Inform others about blogs that are being liked universally, about what people like to read. Convince you that these blogs deserve to be on you blogroll and let you peek into blogs you would not otherwise ever visited .
Bind the bloggers together as a community
Promote other bloggers to write regularly and write good.

You mean to say this selfless act is for the betterment of the society and would eradicate poverty. I do not believe you.

(A long sigh..)

Tell me..isn’t it a vicious little plan of yours to promote your own blog?

Our blog is nowhere listed here, it wasn’t even nominated last year nor do we hope it would be this year. All tools/services used by Indibloggies come free. We are not making any moolah out of it.

Why beg to the sponsors? I am sure you are keeping some prizes with you.

If you call solicitation begging so be it..It’s a voluntary effort. Those who sponsor prizes get due credits here and may be a hike in their page hits. We can only offer that much. And since we do not play any role in distributing prizes there is no questions of us gobbling it up midway.

Will you be there next year too?

Hopefully yes, more than us it depends on whether these free services continue to be free.

Why appoint Jurors yourself. You cannot monopolize this affair.

Beg your pardon! This was started by yes and being managed by us so we have to ensure there is no anarchy out here; someone has to take hold of the strings. Did you expect us to hold a poll for selecting jury members? Do remember that the award is not for the jury but for the blogs and blog related services.

People say you go very well with the whine and pretty much accept any suggestion.

In the age of broken promises where even your chosen representatives don’t care when you whine, isn’t this a refreshing change?

My blog is much better than the listed ones, why wasn’t it nominated? / I sent my nomination to jurors, still it did not make it to the final list, why? / My blog won accolades at the Blah Blah awards and it does not feature here, what a joke!

Did you send a nomination request to the jurors? (Their mail ID was published on this blog and even a gimmick was available to post your nomination online to any of the juror). Even if you sent a nomination request it was the prerogative of the juror to include you if he liked your blog. Each juror was allowed to nominate a maximum of 3 blogs in a category which means there couldn’t have been more than 36 blogs in any category anyway. Emphasis in on quality and not quantity and judging quality is a subjective affair.

I am offended by my blog being listed here. I am not for limelight.

Tell us well in advance and if voting hasn’t started yet we would certainly remove your blog from the list of nominees. No questions asked!

I want to sponsor an award/donate for hosting of this blog on its own domain. How do I go about it?

We are flattered! Just drop us a mail at indibloggies at gmail dot com and we will get back to you. If you are thinking of sponsoring domain/hosting do write to us for details.
