What you are about to experience is an amazing amalgamation of - hope, hard work, preparation, and opportunity - I am sure if you read this post (and that of Mark Hendrick’s -Thanks for sharing this Mark!) and watch the videos mentioned, you’ll be left inspired.
To start with … A confession.
I never thought I could ever listen to Opera. In fact, I used be one of those guys who would think why are the thousand odd people wasting their time trying to watch a few souls screaming their hearts out!
Not any more though!

First of all, a very happy 60th Independence day (belated) to all my fellow Indian readers.
I had no particular intentions of writing a post on the 15th of August this year, because I was more interested in being a part of the celebrations. It was after a gap of 3 years that I was in India for the Independence day and I wanted to make the most of it! I had a decent time yesterday, although it was no where close to what we used to do when we were at school. I also watched a brilliantly made film called “Chak de India” which added in its own sweet way to the flavour of Independence day celebrations.

After I re-vamped my blog and jumped on to the Web2.0 bandwagon with the ‘ever-so-cheesy’ tech verbiage of everything being v2.0, I noticed that my good friend Abhimanyu Radhakrishnan left me a comment and tagged himself as “Abhi2.0”
Well, it seems that Abhimanyu has indeed gone 2.0 with his new blog - Life In The Chakravyu. Manyu who already blogs at MoneyControl’s Evening Edition blog and IBNLive has launched his personal blog as a personal journal & mirror blog.

I would surely consider myself to be an advanced user on the internet and a pretty ‘net-aware’ person, but I realised that even guys like me can be tricked by spammers or let’s be more specific, by phishers !!

I would admit to the fact that I just love Wordpress and I believe it is one of those amazing apps that turn people into Evangelists! And having created or atleast started the entire Wordpress project, Matt Mullenweg has branded himself as a ‘demigod’ in the blogging community… but it seems that something has got Matt pissed. And I believe that something isn’t a bad something!
It turns out that, Matt has sent Sherman Hu (who is a well known Internet Marketer) a cease and desist letter, asking him to stop violating WordPress’ trademark and intellectual rights — apparently for using the word “WordPress†in his domain name -WordpressTutorials.com

Couple of days back, I decided to download and install the all new Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. And I must say, that I have been greatly impressed. After having used FireFox(while I was in Dubai) for quite sometime, I became quite a fan of tabbed browsing, and when I saw that IE7 has incorporated the same, I was really glad that I could now use IE with the FireFox like feature. And that’s not all … IE7 comes packed with all features fire-foxy. To list a few, it has support for RSS feeds, improved user interface, inbuilt search and also the ability to have add-ons (IE7 Addons). Although, the add-on’s would not quite compare to the those we have for FireFox, but it sure is a great move. Infact I even found a Internet Marketing Toolbar called the VRE Toolbar.

Over a fortnight has passed since I last blogged and it isn’t the lack of news or ideas that kept me away from posting away on my Babble Belt. Infact I must have come across almost a dozen ‘bloggable’ ideas, but I never really got of to a start. That’s bad on my part … I agree … I could have atleast done a “Happy Diwali” post, like my buddy Kedar did. But, believe me this was one of the longest Diwali I have ever had !

Ohh Yeah, there is one more ‘King Ka-ching’ behind the whole $1.65bn YouTube.com acquisition by the Big G. Like most of the people(including my friend Kedar) , I too have been closely following the Google takeover, and there is a whole lot being said about the deal. But very few people actually know that there is a 3rd founder involved with the YouTube team.

After having seen almost over a hundred different looplets all over the web, I finally got around to downloading FilmLoop software. Why didnt I do that earlier … well, well … the silly me always believed that FilmLoop just works with Flickr, and I am (surprisingly) not much of a flickr fan or user.
But anyways, now that I have ridden myself of the misconception, I would advise one and all to check out the slick tool they have at FilmLoop. Its very easy to use and generates fascinating flash looplets which can be hosted on your blogs, websites and myspace pages. And for all you Web2.0 fans, I am sure you’ll love the Web2.0ish features of this software.

Just wanted to give you guys a very quick update as to what happened with the small SEO test I did using the keyword “MegaMasterClass”. Well, some of the Google data-centres have cached the most recent page of my blog and hopefully I should soon see results on Google.com, but as of now the most recent snapshot of my site’s cached page in Big G’s index doesn’t show the ‘test’ post. So, I guess we’ll have to wait for the Google results to show up !
But, I did check MSN and Yahoo and am quite happy with the results .. :)
