How to start blogging after a break

Posted on by

Bloggers, like anyone else, do need a break after years of blogging. Some take it deliberately with a promise to return, others are bound to leave blogging in order to manage other tasks, not knowing whether they would be able to return to the blogosphere again. There are a third kind of people, who, being unable to tackle so many things at the same time decide to quit blogging but later reassure themselves that they would blog again. For some, a break may be for a couple of weeks and for others it can be a couple of years. Nevertheless, a break Continue reading →

From Google to Yahoo and from Twitter to Facebook; our day to day activities are limited to these sites. Occasionally we use Amazon or PayPal and sometimes have a look at Wikipedia or YouTube. And when we sum these sites up, we see that there are no Indian sites among these. But do you think there are no Indian sites which could match the level of these top players. No; actually the thing is that they are not much talked about. So why Continue reading →

How to get your name on Google Search

Most of us have the habit of searching for our names on Google Search. It is a metric (according to us) to see whether we are popular and the first time we find a link about us on the first page, we become overwhelmed and start telling our friends about our newly attained popularity. I have been searching for my name (Bijit Sharma) from the days I started using Google. Back then I never found my name listed and at times it really felt bad. But how will Google know of you if you do not have a web presence; and truly speaking at that point of time I had a scarce web presence with only a Gmail account and an Orkut account. Gradually I created my Facebook account, Twitter account, launched this blog (SiteOnn); launched my YouTube channel and created accounts on various Continue reading →

20 Safe and Interactive Social Networks for Kids

Social Networking Sites today have become such a huge part of our culture that it’s no surprise kids too would want to connect with their friends via social networks. But you know these sites are not appropriate (or even safe) for your child, whether he be 5 years old or 12 as they contain content not supposed to be suitable for children. So today’s biggies in social networking have set the minimum eligibility age to 13, 14, 16 or even 18 years. But when you see the world today, everything is computerized, so why deprive your child from getting a feel of the connected world; why deprive him/her from being introduced to the web. So over the years, a lot of sites claiming to provide social networking features for kids have fortunately come up but who would you trust (or should you trust) so that your child can enjoy social networking in a interactive way beneficial to his academic Continue reading →

Google today has become so important to us that imagining our life without it is quite difficult. It is known to all that only one-third of the world has access to the Internet, but it is also true that this one-third consists of over 2.30 billion people, which in no sense is a small population. Google has touched the daily life of every Internet user and is today Continue reading →

Why you must have a clean Facebook profile

Facebook has always been your online identity. Strangers have known you and even judged you by looking at your Facebook profile. Today, as you decide to spend more time chatting with friends and posting updates, even your parents, teachers and real life peers judge you by the look and feel of your Facebook profile. You chat with befriended strangers on Facebook, you post weird updates about your late night hangout, you upload photos dating the girl next door and so on. You do not care to keep your profile clean because you feel you are independent and have all right to enjoy your life. That is absolutely true but one thing you need to remember seriously is that you should have a clean Facebook profile whenever you apply for a job because these days a majority of the applicants are being rejected because their employers find their profile on a real mess. Do you think you will get a job if you upload your drunk photos with a bear can in your hand, and what if you post updates bullying your former boss who fired you for coming late to work.

In its 8-year presence, Facebook has seen all heights; the height of Social Networking, the height of innovation and the height of imagination. And this post focuses on the imagination aspect of Facebook. Let us make it simple; how the Facebook status updates would have been if it was launched, say exactly 100 years before its actual launch on February 4, 1904 instead of February 4, 2004. What if Facebook was there when the Titanic sank, what if it was there when Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany, what if it was there when India achieved independence, what if it was there when man first reached the moon and what if it was there when Facebook itself was being created?
