It was for the first time, I got a chance to have a glimpse at the web development scene or software house business in Pakistan. Our Tutor (Mr. Ali Malik) quickly jumped [...]
Are you investing in a scam or a start-up?
Following Posterous acquisition by Twitter, my trust and faith in all the new and young startups that popup everyday at TechCrunch or PandoDaily, is lost. And I have really been pondering, what could be the purpose of a startup, that apparently does not have a solid “revenue model”. Are they just a scam to grab [...]
Twitter acquires Posterous, strange?
The opportunities in front of Twitter are exciting, and we couldn’t be happier about bringing our team’s expertise to a product that reaches hundreds of millions of users around the globe. Plus, the people at Twitter are genuinely nice folks who share our vision for making sharing simpler. – Posterous Blog Today I woke up [...]
Microsoft demos High-Performance touch screen, would they sell it too?
On Demo it looks pretty nice, so nice that I want to throw my iPhone and iPad in the trash bin right away. But hey! haven’t we all seen the demo videos before of ‘ Courier ‘ which was believed to change our life. Therefore I am little skeptical, and barely give any fuck to [...]
Techcrunch wasn’t a blog, It was a niche, which has shattered.
There are zillion of Tech Blogs, but what’s so special about Techcrunch? Techcrunch wasn’t merely a blog. It was also a niche.

Either one is [...]

Did I just coin the new term ‘MFG’ Made for Google ?
MFA or Made for Adsense has been around for the long time. The sites that primarily are made for milking pennies and dollars from Google’s online publisher program ‘Adsense’. But guess what, the web has grown out of it. MFA websites were mainly small un-branded websites run by Individuals or in other words sploggers. What [...]
Can PandoDaily be as successful as TheVerge ?
ere is my layman opinion about the new startup PandoDaily, as by no means I am an expert in reviewing or evaluating startups. However recently, I have been very keenly observing the New Startup focused blog PandoDaily, founded by former AOL-TechCrunch employee Sarah Lacy. Since I barely take interest in startups press releases, unless of course, the [...]
Google’s game with webmasters
his is in reference to Google’s last year and current changes to its algorithm or ranking factors to ensure the quality of the content on the Internet. Well, there is barely anyone who won’t appreciate better user-experience, top quality sites in SERP and filtering out the Junk or spam sites and discouraging stacking of the ads above the fold. [...]
Adsense Tips are totally discouraged by Google’s Webmasters guidelines
f you have been following both Google Adsense tips and Google Webmaster guidelines or tips emails. You would realize that most of the time, they are contradicting each other. What is even more ironic, that some users got their Adsense banned just for following their own tips. For instance Adsense tips encourage users to place [...]
Klout is Imperfect but It’s the next big thing.
Earlier Alexia from TechCrunch wrote an article ”Nobody gives a damn about your Klout Score“, and she has basically criticized the Klout algorithm that determines one’s Klout score or how influential one is. Klout’s pervasive problem is that the deeper among us are never going to judge anyone based solely on some arbitrary decimal score. Especially when that decimal number [...]
