    Firstly, the new look is superb, very clean as well. It has motivated me to do something about mine. lol. On the post now. It seems that, this, IPL Blog has shown much more than bat and ball. I enjoyed the entire article. Especially, the very last part about internet penetration, and how you talk about commentary jousting.

    It's ironic that the posts at Fake IPL Player are now infested with spam comments and sometimes downright vulgar stuff. Wonder what happens to moderation? Anyway, on this 'I am first to comment' thing, I have seen it happen with sites that have great content but where the posts are looked forward to. Like in Rames Srivats' blog or at Krish Ashok's blog (http://krishashok.wordpress.com/).

    Interesting find, Rahul. It is sad to see the quality of the comments. But that's the thing with transparency. We all think that bloggers, tweeters, facebookers owe us a few answers and most importantly an identity. Fake SRK joined Twitter and started distributing viral business cards for red chilli entertainment which made people rethink the 'fake' part for a few moments but of course, rediff news soon revealed that SRK was not on twitter. People ignored the fake one and moved on. But until the verdict was out, the followers had fun playing the guess game.

    Over here, the blogger is sort of inviting such comments by playing along and instigating the madness. His/Her responses are equally reactionary and I am assuming that's a big no when it comes to a bad backlash.

    Anyway, interesting post. Look forward to reading more.

    That is quite an interesting insight Rahul. I'd never seen the comments section on the FIP posts cos there were always so many, but i just saw some after reaidng ur post and see wat ur talking abt.

    This FIP has created quite a frenzy!
