I agree, a barcamp that weds journalism and blogging would be a great start, and would undoubtedly lead to press coverage on responsible blogging. Maybe in the near future something will spring up eh? @9_6 I'm glad you support the Pink Chaddis :) @Prem @Sanjeev Thanks for your thoughts.

I think its time that bloggers move out of the "passion" domain into understanding that they are considered serious advocates of a school of thought. Their subscribers and followers give them that power. This power, unintentially, also makes them "public media" Hence, it is important that they understand the consequences of words and expressions used. Maybe, someone can launch a barcamp that weds journalism fundas to blogging for serious bloggers?

The pink condom campaign was only on my peripheral vision & somehow missed out on the action happening out there on the blogs. :( Am not going to go through the social media war in detail, not worth it. But would certainly like to comment on your final observations wrt educating the masses on social media. :) Bloggers & journalists, when it comes to events happening around us, have to follow these simple tasks: (1) To collect information. (2) To cross check it. (3) To analyze it. (4) To present it. (tx <a href="http://twitter.com/prempanicker/status/1044698684" rel="nofollow">@prempanicker</a> Guess this should correspond to your observation 1 :) Excellent round up!
