Sanjaya Malakar is the buzz word in Internet now. People want to know about Sanjaya Malakar more and bloggers are writing about him. Suddenly we can see a huge increase of entries about Sanjaya Malakar in the blogosphere. I just did a Google’s blog search about Sanjaya Malakar and it brought 24,317 results. I did a similar search about my name and it brought only 1103 results. So, you can imagine how popular Sanjaya Malakar is in the blogosphere.

I also did a similar search about Sanjaya Malakar in Technorati and I got more or less the same result there.

About the popularity of Sanjaya Malakar among the bloggers, Reuters reported:

According to a BuzzMetrics report, Sanjaya -- now referred to by only his first name on many sites -- has seen blog references increase 338% from February 18, when he first reached critical mass, to April 8. Reality TV Magazine is the top blog in Sanjaya traffic, with 40 other blogs linking to its posts on the subject from January 1-April 8.

Many blog conversations about Sanjaya in late March center on the fact that he "lacks talent" and doesn't deserve to win. Conversations also focus on Howard Stern and VoteForTheWorst.com, two sources that encourage people to skew the votes, suggesting that both have played a large part in keeping him on the air.

Unfortunately, bloggers from South Asia have largely ignored Sanjaya Malakar until. I am perhaps the only blogger from South Asia at this moment covering Sanjaya Malakar on a daily basis. Hopefully, we will see more bloggers from this part of the world writing about Sanjaya Malakar. Well, if Sanjaya Malakar can survive this round of American Idol then he will become a super hit in the blogosphere.
