You know what. I am not an “important blog in the blogosphere”. Probably because I am not Valley based or don’t write about Valley based bloggers. Or just dont write the right stuff. (Yeah maybe)

But I know for sure that “Techmeme” read my article - How does India fare on Techmeme ?

Read ? You said read ? Yeah. See the highlighted item below which was an update to Techmeme listens: 32 months in the making, search arrives!

See this -

You know what just recently I was trying to think that somehow recently “India” related stories are popping up on Techmeme. Not much that anybody will s*it up and notice but still. Maybe because Michael Arrington’s guys put up a couple of posts or Robert Scoble shared something (?) or Kara Swisher putting up a “search”. Or just because Times of India and Indian Express are built on “site structures” which Techmeme can easily crawl

So, I tried this search on Google - india site:techmeme.com

"That is about to change. On Thursday (14 Feb 2008), Google started testing video ads on some pages of search results. And it is developing ad formats with images, interactive maps and other more elaborate features." - Bits NYT

By now you must have read the above article to death on every other blog. But what is the need for top guys to regurgitate the same news ? Guess its the PR (?) effect which RWW describes.
