[edit] Background

The site was launched by an Indian blogger Debashish Chakrabarty as a fun venture, he felt that he wasn't able to read so many good blogs just because he never heard of them[1]. Indibloggies blog was started at free hosting service from Blogger.com in 2003 with many few bloggers contributing with their awards. The Indibloggies website now operates from http://www.indibloggies.org and has an allied blog.

Though the modus operandi has been different each year, the Indibloggies decides the winners in various award categories based on a mix of peer-review from a panel of jurors, public nominations and public voting. From 2005 onwards Indibloggies uses the social book marking site Del.icio.us to solicit category-wide public nominations[2].
