Today, the bloggers meeting was a sign that the Mauritian blogging community is active. It can be taken as a motivation for those who are dormant to make a “come-back”, why not? Why not have a much greater number of blogging nerds for the next community meeting?

Having said that, lets ponder a bit on the UoM Campus (on which there is a majority of bloggers) and this list of clubs and societies affliated to the Student Union. The question is which ones of them are active? Hmm….this calls for some Research!
