TeethMaestro and Sabeen “Activate” KBM08

We wanted to start up the gathering with two people who can put blogging into a great perspective: social activism and blogging with passion. The heart and soul, coupled with the hard work, research and creativity that goes into a blog, is something many people greatly underestimate. And for those who might not underestimate it, they may misunderstand the sheer power and outreach the Web provides to a cause or belief. This is a clip from two online activists, Dr Awab Alvi (aka TeethMaestro) and Sabeen Mahmud, who picked up the pace of the event from the get go!

The Karachi Bloggers’ Meetup: The Panel Video

We’ve been getting loads of request from people who may have missed the event and the live webcast, to put up videos - Thanks to our Flip Videos (Yes, Sabeen! We Love the Flip, Man!) we’ve captured most of the event - If you search for “KBM Videos”, you should get the list of videos that we have up. Please bear with us though - frequent internet disruptions and electricity downtime make it difficult to get all the files up - But we’re working on them!
