Running short of time, so just copy + pasting the info. from my blog ;)

BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. It's an unconference, so everybody will participate in the happenings, unlike traditional conferences, where one person talk and the other's listen.

India's first BarCamp happened in Delhi, and it turned out to be Asia's first. Well known bloggers in Chennai like Kiruba Shankar, myself and Vijay Anand are organising the Bar Camp Chennai. The BarCampChennai focusses on Web 2.0 and Next Generation Internet. The BarCampChennai's focus will be creating awareness about Web 2.0, showcasing some of the hot start ups work and also providing a wider network platforms for the people.

My friend Boris in Amsterdam has been creating a wonderful tool which I think is worth sharing with you here.

WeBlogistan is a tag cloud project with a twist, and is paired with "Clickmybut" - both can be added to your own blogs easily. It's still beta, of course, but I have experienced no problems with either service placed in my main blog at Speaka's Plain English

Boris' new venture Fleck.com is also a very innovative concept.
