[1] In India, like elsewhere, blogging gained momentum in the early years of the twenty-first century.
Initially due to a lack of Indic typing tools, the early Indian blogosphere was small.
Greater awareness and availability of Indic typing tools led to rapid growth in blogs written in Indian languages.
The two most popular phonetic typing tools of old times are "Indic IME" and "BarahaIME".
In addition to this, WordPress being supporting Indic Unicode, is most popular among those who host their blog on their own domain.
