I attended the Hyderabad Bloggers Meet that happened on Saturday March 1, 2008 at the Microsoft Campus. It was nice meeting people with different interests in life. I have never been to any such meets before and this being my first of it’s kind, it was certainly better than what I actually expected.
The Meet started with a Welcome note by myself. I have never given any such note before and was not prepared for this one either. I gave a welcome speech which most people would have felt like crap 
. The indiBlogger team then introduced themselves to the crowd. The next in the schedule list was 1 Minute to fame which was certainly an Ice Breaker. Every blogger was given a minute to explain about why and what they blog about. Microsoft had earlier promised to offer a nice dinner (which they did by serving unlimited Veg and Non-Veg pizzas) and the dinner started immediately after 1 Minute to fame.
It was at the dinner time when I started socializing with people and was good to know about the time and efforts people spend to do what they are doing. The dinner was then followed by a small skit by the indiBlogger team (I was also there in that skit with the best of my acting skills).
The meet then proceeded with the Windows Live Writer presentation by Sandhya (an Intern-Enthusiast Evenagelist) . It would have been better if she could have just told us about the features in it instead of explaining people on how to use it. Everyone at the meet are very comfortable using computers and it wouldn’t be hard for them to figure out how to use WLW (like any other MS product). It was then the time to call for end of the meet. The indiBlogger said thanks and bye to all the bloggers.
On the whole, the meet was very good.
