KOM seminar
The ‘Digital Media’ seminar organized by Knowledge Oasis Muscat a couple of days could have been made much better with the inclusion of local bloggers in the panel. The best part was a young blogger defending credibility of blogs versus traditional media, that too in front of a minister. That was truly heartening. There is one more seminar as part of the ‘Digital Nation’ series that will be held in December. Mark your calendars; worth attending for bloggers/new media enthusiasts.
PS: Overheard at the conference: Expect good news on VoIP services in Oman soon!

Who were the bloggers on the panel?
Hey. Thnx for mentioning that. It was I who stood up infront of them but I was a little frightened. I just wanted to defend us bloggers and show them that we are indeed reliable as much as other conventional media.
Thnx again :D

Moderated by Graham Porter, Cisco, the panel of speakers included Dr Andreas Liffgarden, Ericsson; Karim Rahemtulla, Info-comm; Raed Dawood, Nawras; Mohana Prabhakar, Apex Publishing, and Ravi from UMS.
There weren’t any bloggers among the panel unfortunately. Liffgarden of Ericsson was the lone spark though; he was too good.

You’re welcome. Was not sure whether you would like it if I had mentioned your name. Agree with you on reliability factor of bloggers since they don't have an agenda unlike the traditional media. Keep up the good job.
I wish all the bloggers of Oman could meet face-to-face someday and discuss issues on blogging per se. That would be great.
Why don't we do something like that?
We should make a meeting for all bloggers to join and discuss blogging issues. That would be great.
Any ideas?
I was planning to come to this one but couldn't at the very last minute. I attended all the previous ones but not this one.
We should really be doing something for bloggers.
such a a goos step!
I think you should do something special preset all of the Omani Bloggers and show others how we could make a change! from such a thing as blogging .
I am game for bloggers meet. How about planning a meet after Eid?
Kishor: Great idea. I support it. Lets see what do other bloggers think of this...
