Last weekend, we joined Pesta Blogger (Blogger Party). I think it's the biggest event (for bloggers) so far. It took place at Blitz Megaplex, Grand Indonesia. More than 500 bloggers and also journalists gathered in this event. Can you imagine what happened the situation? Superb!

We're addicted to blog. Seriously. So, when we heard about this event for the first time, we had no reason not to attend it. Communications and Information Minister Muhammad Nuh declared October 27 as National Bloggers Day! I am not sure if there any other country has this kind of support for their bloggers.

The Jakarta Post reported:

"I can see today the Indonesian blogger community is developing the use of IT facilities and filling information gaps in the country with blogging," the former rector of East Java's November 10 Institute of Technology said.

He said the gathering and blogging were both "revolutionary" and deserved support.

"Blogs can be educational, empowering and enlightening. That's why I can guarantee you curbing blogs will never happen in this country," said Nuh.
