Akshay Surve attended BlogCamp Mumbai last weekend on the 20th Feb, 2010. The event was very well *un-organized* and it was good to see a lot of first timers who were curious about blogging. Add to it a healthy mix of veteran campers and you are assured of a fun filled time with a lot of knowledge and experience sharing. Most of the sessions were interesting and it was great to see participation from each and everyone. Campers no doubt were an excited lot!

It was also heartening to see among all other topics there was a special focus on on social causes. Satish and Ranjeet spoke about ‘The Sapling Project‘, Sanjukta took a session on how Bell Bajao used Social Media, Meeta shared an inspirational story, Chandni spoke on how she leverages twitter and posterous to mobilize funds for causes and finally Akshay on how bloggers could leverage their blogs for good by using Ads4Good on their blogs. Sanjukta summed it up by tweeting:

@sanjukta: Am glad we are not talking about how to make money with blogs nemore. Money is so passe, we r now changing world. #blcm
