1st Annual Pakistan Blog Awards
, no offense intended
Let me start post by congratulating CIO Pakistan, Google Pakistan for arranging the 1st Annual Pakistan Blog Awards and then heartiest congratulation to all the winners
It all started when bloggers appealed to get recognizable around the world, get award for their blog, to showcase their blogs. Then CIO Pakistan and Google Pakistan started their engines and gave us www.blogawards.pk, some bloggers nominated themselves, some got nominated by their fans and after 5 to 6 months, awards were being announced!
On 28th May 2010, bloggers were invited to Regent Plaza, Karachi for the award ceremony and new media unconference. Heading towards Regent I knew am not going to win but yet I was very excited for my friends, I had a feeling that award ceremony would be classy, one of its kind.
Ceremony started a bit late with a welcome song by Salman and Yasir, after the wonderful performance there was first session of unconference on Innovation in Media then some awards then second session on Selling 3.0 then some awards and then third session on Engage & Converge and then some awards, the bloggers were handed awesome goodies bag by CIO Pakistan and Google Pakistan, which contains our traditional Ajrak, notepad, key chain etc. Oh did I tell you about the theme ? It was Ajrak!!, liked it.
There were some drawbacks which I felt, not necessary that you all agree on them too
? 2 could be enough.. but 4? Once again Congratulation to CIO Pakistan, Google Pakistan and all the winners!
Winners list can be viewed here, CIO Pakistan’s post and photographs
As many of you have heard about ban on facebook, I just can’t get why government is banning it? I mean is it the only way to teach them a lesson?
When government don’t know what to do they simply ban the website, I mean can’t we teach the culprit some other lesson? can’t we trace the guy who started all this nonsense and send him behind the bars?
I agree that by banning facebook we are giving them financial loss and then they will remove all the nonsense, but what about the real culprits? you think they will stop? NO!, they will definitely find some other platform to harass us.
Blogspot has been banned in past, now facebook, how many websites are we going to ban? this will never stop them, there are people who talk and write nonsense about Islam and they are given the honor of being called ‘Sir’, we yet sit quiet and bear it.
If am not wrong there was some ambassador who have done something bad too? but still we sit quietly and watch..
I don’t have any concern with facebook, blogspot, anything! but government, when are they going to act intelligent? WHEN!
