BarCamp Bangalore - Day 2

On day 2 of BarCamp Bangalore, it was a bit too boring and I attended only a few sessions which were interesting.

The first session was Rules to break in a startup by Mr.Ashwin which was quite interesting. I also met Sagaro during that session. Then we headed off to a session by Preethan about Branding on the internet. Then I sat down in the bloggers’ collective again where someone was supposed to speak about corporate blogging - which he greatly misunderstood and talked about how bloggers blogged about corporates. Then someone else made a impromptu session on corporate blogging.

After lunch and TShirts, two people were talking about bringing metro bloggers into print media. They were thinking of a startup where bloggers can get their content published on a paper which is distributed across a city.

When the afternoon sessions started, I sat down for a interesting session about Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) which was cool. Then in the startups collective, there was a hot discussion started off by Vaidhy which was about the lack of good developers in India and why starting a startup in India is difficult.

We started by 5 and didn’t wait till the end. However I have uploaded the pics to my flickr.

do leave a comment. Anyway, this can be thought of as a pseudo-live blog of the event.
