Inspiration. We all need it, don’t we? Without inspiration, we just cannot get started with whatever we want to do. I haven’t blogged since November 2011, and after a hiatus of over a month, I’m back. It surely wasn’t easy because of two reasons: 1) My ‘flow’ of continuously writing posts was suddenly halted and 2) I had no inspiration. Continue Reading

Our tweeting experience is incomplete without retweeting. Everybody loves to retweet. As @Flipbooks said, “If you ain’t retweeting, you ain’t tweeting!” So true.
I’ve noticed that on twitter, there are 6 different kinds of retweets. See if you fall in any of these categories! Continue Reading

Log into twitter and you’ll find tons of tweets. Even thousands, depending on the number of people you are following. Of course, it is humanly impossible to read every tweet. There are conversational tweets, noise tweets and links. We just skim through all the tweets. If the headline or the title seems interesting, we go ahead and click on the link and read the post.

Waking up and reading twitter like it’s the morning newspaper, stuck in traffic and writing a facebook update about it : I’m sure most of us have done this. Our day is incomplete without social media! Can you remember your life before the ‘influx’ of all these social networking sites? Admit it, we are addicted to social media. Don’t deny. One of my friends admitted to tweeting only when he had time – morning time, work time, day time, night time, all the time. You get my drift, don’t you? Continue Reading

There are two main types of bloggers: those who write just for fun and enjoyment, and those who blog for business and for building a community. For about a year, I fell into the first category. I used to blog whenever I felt like blogging – maybe once a month, or once in two months. But ever since I bought my own domain, I started blogging seriously. At that time, a question popped into my mind:
What makes a good blogger? Continue Reading
