Amitabh blogs on BigAdda – what a shitty gimmick from BigAdda

Scene 1, Take N:

Execs at BigAdda, R-ADAG’s social networking site, nervously thinking of ways to counter MySpace India’s launch.

Exec 1: “Quick…We need something to counter PR efforts from MySpace India’s launch today. Can we pull off a rabbit from the hat ? ”

Exec 2: “Hey, why not ask Amitabh Bachchan (who happens to be Anil Ambani’s buddy) to start a blog on BigAdda ? It seems really creative and will help counter MySpace India’s announcement.”

Exec 1: “But will it work ? Will BigB be open to the idea of blogging ?”

Exec 2: “Who cares ? We’ll have what we need to make big announcement for the day.”

So, BigAdda comes up with the shitty idea of having Amitabh Bachchan to start a blog.

The entire concept seems to have been put together in a jiffy in a totally lame manner.  Here’s why:

1) Even though BigAdda has a ‘blogs‘ section of its own, the BigB blog is hosted on a separate, WordPress MU install.

2) If you want, you can join BigB and sign up for your own blog on BigAdda – click here to signup – and then flaunt to your mom-GF that you blog alongside BigB. Apparently, the WordPress install is configured to accept signups – see the screenshot below (click for bigger version):

   And also Big B is sitting the nights up to compose posts for the blog which put essays to shame. Seems like Big B was waiting for this rare opportunity to express himself and can’t thank BigAdda enough .. lol

   I swear on that! I tried and easily got the access to wordpress signup window. Not sure of what the guys at BigAdda.com doing?

   I think there is a need for you to look at the language you use in your writings. If I were to explain this in your language — please try to avoid using shitty word like “shitty” in your posts . Thank you
