How Flickr Did It Right

First of all, I would like to thank Chris Brogan for giving bloggers like me something to write about. Yes. In his blog he has given a list of 100 topics which he hopes that bloggers write about. In his blog he has clearly explained how some people approach him and ask about how he manages to get topics to blog about each day. He has explained how his situation is quite the opposite as for him, he has too much to write about. Not boring you anymore with my reporting. "He said, He hopes, He explained" Ok no more. So one of the topics I got from that list was: "How Flickr Did It Right" There were  a variety of topics to choose from but I chose this because I wanted to do some research before writing. Let me be honest here. At this moment when I start writing I have no clue what it is. Yes I do know its part of the popular new generation networking band wagon and that it has something to do with sharing. Maybe pics or reports or articles. I donno. In fact, I dou...

Telangana: Do or Don't

I write this just a few minutes after a discussion with my team at work.

What is this issue all about? Why did it come up for discussion today? The basic reason is the fact that, today in all leading national newspapers, the headline is: To quote Times of India: " Protest continues; trains, airports, hospital services...

United Nations Orgins

Recently I was reading about the United Nations and it was then that I started wondering what lead to the formation of this great international organization. Though I have a high level idea, I felt the need to delve into the details and get a proper understanding. In addition to this I also felt like putting it on my blog. The basic idea is to write about a topic each day. Make it as long as possible during the day and conclude it by the end of the day whatever the amount of info gathered. Get Knowledge and Share knowledge. Live and let live. Blah! If you open the website www.un.org and check the about UN tab, you will find some basic details such as...or wait. How about a question? Who coined the name United Nations? Any clue? It was the late US president Franklin D Roosevelt and was first used in the Declaration by United Nations of 1 January, 1942. Now that's an easy date to remember right? All you need to keep in mind is the year 1942. And did you know that American b...
