Given that December 1st is World Aids Day, I'd like to suggest a topic on Aid's Awareness: the Stigma and the Isolation
ReplyDeleteEvery regular internet user, at some time or the other downloads pirated songs or softwares, even though they know it is illegal to do so.
ReplyDeleteThe main reason behind this is the high price of many music tracks and softwares, which are too heavy for the pocket of the users.
This has led to the unprecedented growth of Peer 2 peer (P2p) sharing networks like torrents and limewire. A new revolution has altogether started, called the "Anti Copyright Campaign".
Do you support p2p and internet downloads or do you think they are a bane to the internet community?
Hey blogroll me too. I commented here(http://blog-a-ton.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-is-blog-ton.html) but I think it went unnoticed.

Thanks a lot for making me a part for Blog-a-ton :)
Hey,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Welcome. Looking forward to Blogging-a-ton! :)
I'd like to suggest the topic 'My Dream of India'
my Topic : "Self Publicity in the Internet Age."
ReplyDeleteWe are all here for doing our publicity, orkut, facebook or blogging. The companies are making money because we like the idea of self publicity.
I would like 2 say...'Aids' is a nice topic...:D
ReplyDeleteThey say, "Memories are all we really own". We may be leading ordinary lives... yet we all have witnessed some or the other headline grabbing event(s).
ReplyDeleteHow about writing on the 5 seminal or history making events that we have been a part of/witnessed/observed and have a good recollection of... What say???
Topic: "Living History - Glimpses of 5 Seminal Events - Through My Eyes."
With all due respect, Lighten up people! Whats with the topics? Can we try and be zany? :O
ReplyDeleteFor all of those who are itching to call me a hypocrite (:P) here's my topic: "Spunk: you have it or you go have tea"
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion: Social networking: an addiction? or is it good?
ReplyDeletehello all...why not keep it plain and simple 26/11
ReplyDeleteand i must remind you in BAT3 we decided that a topic 'all in a day's work" will be considered in BAT4..which dint happen. :( so....
@aneet i second the thought...:)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteCan you please blogroll me... I have joined long back..
www.kanaguonline.wordpress.com
Gosh!
ReplyDeleteEach one has a topic of their own!
Think people think!
We need to get a topic fast!
What about "THE FUTURE OF POLITICS"?
ReplyDeleteBloggers can post their constructive/ destructive, optimistic/dismissive, abusive/curative... .. views on the topic.
MMmmmm... a colour tied to an emotion.. though it is vague.
ReplyDelete@Saro: MMmmmm.... that sounds ..... psychedlic! My kind of stuff!
ReplyDeleteMy two cents :
ReplyDelete@Psych Babbler,
Very relevant and compelling topic, but it does shut out comic aspects -- you need to be a genius to parody that topic and not offend people :-). Add to that, media will be awash with their runs of AIDS related messages-programs in the first week of December..
@Roshmi,
Nice topic, but 5 events, seminal to boot may compel people to make it long. Add to that coming up with 5 events of that stature may weaken the post (people may add in fillers).
Maybe just 1 is better ?
@Saro,
Strangely I like what you suggested. Don't have a clue as to how to interpret it, but it is intriguing..
Given we do not seem to have a consensus, do we need to look toward over-flow topics from previous BATs :
1. All in a day's work -- as pointed by Narendra
2. A Perfect Day -- That was a close runner up in BAT-4
I go for keeping it simple. A topic that can be open to interpretation and different tones of writing.
ReplyDeleteI also liked the previous Batom's topics, second Madhu, and third Narendra, "All in a Day's Work" (which could also be a perfect day's work)!
"Self Publicity in the Internet Age."
ReplyDeletei second guria!!
ReplyDeleteI second Solitary writer and in words of Guria, third her, fourth Madhu and fifth Narendra!!!
ReplyDeleteAll in a Day's Work, let it b.. (now tht evn i'v starting wrking :p)
The newbies, this is not the final topic but just my vote.. plz continue suggsting nd voting for the one u like!
Hi Vipul,
ReplyDeletePlease blogroll my name. I joined long back.
Best,Sanand
What about the topic "What if..."?
ReplyDeleteIt will give us all the flexibility to creatively interprete the topic and write either on missed opprtunities, or regrets in life or may be a fiction with this theme...It will also give us a variety of posts to read and vote for.
Whatever be the topic, please make sure that it allows enough scope for variety and creativity.
I too joined about a week ago & would like to be blogrolled. My blog- http://www.magalic.com/
ReplyDeleteThank You.
Marshal,
ReplyDeleteAre congrats in order ? !
What's with the "..now tht evn i'v starting wrking :p).." ? Which lucky company do you grace now ? :-) . All the best ..
My vote for all in the day's work too. There is a huge scope to the topic and its simple and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI withdraw my suggestion for the topic and vote for Madhu's second suggestion "A PERFECT DAY"
ReplyDeleteWhat if ...sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion would be to put up a picture and see where people take it.
It gives room for all types of entries, makes a diverse read and creativity as well.
My vote for
ReplyDeleteWhat if..
all in a day's work
ReplyDeleteit seems interesting, but also tell more abt this topic
