There is a novel blog directory called BlogPane which lists all blogs from any college into one group:
http://blogs.edotte.com/search.php
The blogs are arranged based on year of pass out of bloggers.
At the initiative of our alumnus Prasoon Agarwal (Mechanical 2004), the BlogPane has added IT-BHU on the BlogPane script. To register your blog on BlogPane, please search for IT-BHU and search for Plugin Script. Copy the Script, and add as an HTML element on your blogspace. In case you are an alumnus of more than one institute listed (IT-BHU + IIM Bangalore, for example), please check both institutes on the search page, and a script for both will be generated.
Prasoon is doctorate student at IIM-Ahmedabad. His blog is listed under IIM-A, Class of 2008 on BlogPane. It is hoped that in due time there will also be a separate group for IT-BHU blogs on BlogPane. For additional details please contact Prasoon Agarwal at the following contact address.

Following is the excerpts of the email reply received by Prasoon from the BlogPane owner Ajith Prasad:
IT-BHU BlogPane script is now available from http://blogs. edotte.com/ search.php. Your blog has been added under IIMA BlogPane too.
BlogPane is supposed to be a utility using which bloggers can track blogs from their alma-mater from their homepage itself. The purpose of creating IIT / IIM BlogPane pages was to illustrate the multi directory concept. It is not to showcase some of the institutes.
We initially started off with only a page having NITC, IIMA, IIMB BlogPane, but people from other institutes wanted their college panes too to be listed on our home page. This led us to IIT & IIM BlogPane pages. Maybe some time later depending on the popularity of application, we may choose to remove IIT / IIM BlogPane pages and provide individual pages for each college.
So, for the time being, we are not putting IT-BHU BlogPane in our site, though anyone from IT BHU is welcome to add their blogs or generate the widget and use it. If you want to add IT BHU to your page, generate the script by selecting IT-BHU and IIMA again. It'll display the IIMA - IT BHU BlogPane in your
page.
