It was two years ago that I first thought about seeding a benchmark survey that captured Blogging & Social Media trends & insights gathered from marketers and corporates. However, there was little action on the ground but social media has now gained sufficient traction on the ground, we have perhaps contributed in our small way. Then a few months ago, we conducted this qualitative study attempting to capture an overview of the blogs & social media environment in India. The insights were invaluable and we knew then it was time to do a deep dive and a conduct a larger survey amongst marketers & corporates.

So, here we are, along with Exchange4Media Group hoping to put together an insightful study based on real inputs shared by you & your peers and not speculative theories. This will allow the industry to benefit from shared insights & make for educated decisions.

We need your participation:

1. You can take the survey here- open until 24 December 2008 but don't wait until the last day.

All valid participants get a FREE copy of Summary & Key Points from the "Overview of Blog & Social Media Environment in India", a report prepared by Blogworks - this will be emailed to you. For it to be a valid entry, you must answer all questions.

Once you have completed your entry, do share your feedback on the questionnaire by writing to [email protected].There would be mistakes to learn from & things to do better the next time -we'd appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
