Been here for a couple of hours -- my first BarCamp -- and I can already see why they"re so successful, because there"s a lot of sharing in an informal casual environment.

I"m at the Blogger"s Collective right now, and we"re talking widgets now -- the whats, the whys and hows. There"s an ongoing discussion about the different widgets available, and the all-famous flickr widget that adds your flickr photos to your blog.

For whose who want to make some quick bucks outa this, there are the Google AdSense widgets. You can add a ShoutBox widget to allow people to quickly post a random comment. So we"re checking the top ones out.

Right now, Krishna and Nilesh are speaking about where to put the widgets. There are also widgets that are added to RSS feeds, now that"s a surprise for me :-)

Here are a  few pictures @ the lovely IIM campus.
