This phenomenon has inspired IBN, stands for IdBlogNetwork, to unite these blogger into a specific community and link them as publishers to advertisers who are willing to collaborate.  Followed by more than 2.920 bloggers and 3.250 Facebook fans, IBN plans to hold a big event, called Roadblog-Blogilicious 2011.

According to IBN, Roadblog-Blogilicious 2011 is meant to give an offline-media for their member of bloggers as marketing partners to link with advertisers, represented by IBN staffs. As stated by an IBN staff, this big event will be held in some interesting ways, such as seminar and workshop, presented to improve Indonesian bloggers’ skill in the way they write, create design, optimize SEO, as well as monetize their blogs. The good news is that Roadblog-Blogilicious 2011 will be held widely in 7 big cities in Indonesia, namely Jakarta, Bandung, Jogjakarta, Surabaya, Makassar, Medan, and Palembang, around May and June 2011, enabling many local bloggers and also those attracted in blogging to participate and get advantages of such an inspiring event.
