Been thinking for quite a while now. The idea is somewhat like
metroblogs. When I used to live in Chennai, the two metroblogs on
chennai used to be damn useful...
Why dont we, collectively as a community start something like that?
But this should be about whole kerala. A random, but authentic and on
the ground information site.. on places to visit, restaurants,
happening locales, events, culture, etc. I believe it should be the
ultimate repository for two classes of people a). Locals like us who
might need some direction and b). for tourists to effectively figure
out what to do and where to go to in kerala.
tell me what u think of the idea. some real feedback expected.

$$ are more of a inspiration to do this than an objective :P
Target Audience and Authors are the only objectives required I guess.
I am game for this. I wanted to do something for Kerala as such through blogging, views and thoughts of citizens. And updates from cities, event photos and stuff.
Are we planning a single blog with multiple authors or a community blog under a flagship domain? I prefer the single blog idea better as I am sorta lazy :) .

it has to be a single blog with multiple authors.. initially, no money involved.. we need to hit at least 50 authors and get at least a thousands hits per day after which we should consider ads or whatever means of monetizing,....
we initially need a good community of passionate people creating solid city focussed content..
