How big is Nepali Blogosphere?

The easiest answer would be: who knows?

Because there is no way anybody can correctly answer the question. The same question was asked to me when I was discussing ‘Nepali Blogging: Around Feb 1 & Now’ – a discussion organized by Martin Chautari last week and I said, “Well, it’s very difficult to track the personal blogs. But regularly updated blogs are between two to three dozens.”

How wrong I was. I found that a week later when Anamika of Say Na Something asked me the number of Nepali woman bloggers. Initially I emailed her saying – just TWO. A day later, Deepak told me there were two more blogs – Avinashi and Unshared Thoughts. How did I miss them?

So I tried to search for more Nepali woman bloggers and every time I did some labor, I will find more. The number grew and I was amazed to see results. Some were blogging like professional bloggers, some had blogged for a few months and stopped. Some were leisurely blogging – but none-the-less there was quite a few woman bloggers – I sent a total of eight links to her. (And I didn’t do much tried to get into blogs hosted in MSN Spaces because they open too slow in my browser!)

After finding those, I couldn’t even estimate the number of blogs run by Nepali – even though I have listed a lot of them in NepaliVoices.com, I believe this is just a chunk for the pie. I will certainly find more in coming days and thus thinking may be it would be better if I list them only on the separate page – not on my sidebar.

I don’t want to reveal all the woman bloggers’ blog because Anamika is working on an entry which I hope also to put up here. But if you know blogs by Nepali bloggers not listed on my sidebar, please send the links to me so that I can TRY to keep track of them.
