"Regional Blogging" - Good and Bad

I can see a lot of emerging blogs from different regional languages Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi...etc., in India, seems to be a good growth for the blogging community and the importance of the regional Language. I'm also very happy to see a number of people who browse regional blogs have been increased a lot.

Some of the regionally popular blogging sites like iLand, also introduced to blog in 8 Indian languages.(Ref. The Hindu Business Line). It is very nice to see such a good opportunity grow your language as well as B-Literature. Many poets are emerging, the information is being spread to all over the Internet and it also unites the people.

What is possible bad thing about regional blogging is bound to IT companies. IT administrators can see it as threat because increasing number of regional blogs gives a strong message to control and manage these blogs too. They may also need to differentiate between good content and bad content in each language, and control it. This is not only bound to Blogs, This is also applicable to regional language web-sites, forums..etc.,

Why am i talking about regional blogging because in India there are thousands of IT companies in each city and close to 75,000 people working in Infosys alone in India.

IT administrators may need to start thinking of managing regional blogging, if not now at least they will look after near future for sure.

If you have more points I welcome you to put your comment on Regional Blogging.
