Nostalgia, FLS and Social Media pet peeves

December 19, 2006 – 8:56 am

So, I’m feeling nostalgic about my online content creation experience for two reasons.

Laughter, like yawning, is infectious. I’m not sure of when this was rolled out, but I recently noticed a potent YouTube feature that allows users to post video responses to videos at YouTube. At present, there are 783,938 views and 27 video responses to the above video (some reponses in the sidebar here). Once this […]

More Blog Pimping

October 5, 2006 – 7:04 pm

Shyam writes about a comment pimping Jhanki.com. I deleted the comment pimping ilaaka.com and onyomo.com here at MixedBag.

Note: This is my last blog post here for the next six days. There’s already lots that I want to/have to/been asked to blog, so kindly bare…erm…bear with me.
Around three months ago, I got an email from Orkut; someone I hadn’t heard from for almost a year had sent a private message. I responded, […]

Blogger Beta Problem

September 1, 2006 – 3:51 pm

I have a problem with Blogger Beta - the integration with Google accounts sucks.
Mixed Bag (this blog) has not yet switched over to Blogger Beta; in fact, if I have to redo the entire design, I’m not too keen. Ankit looks like he had to do away with his excellent design, and settle for an […]

The Future of Social Networking Sites

August 11, 2006 – 12:53 am

I might as well go public with my views on this, since I’ve been talking about it offline for a few weeks now…you’ve probably read someone else who’s said the same thing, but I haven’t come across anyone yet. Here goes…

Blocked again…

August 2, 2006 – 1:32 pm

A few mails have already been posted on Bloggers Collective. In case your access is blocked, go to the Bloggers Collective Wiki for assistance.
Some pakistani bloggers had […]

NDTV Blogs go live

NDTV’s response to CNN-IBN’s blog initiative, has gone live a few hours ago. Observations:
* Blogs on a domain separate from NDTV.com: In an attempt to get ahead of IBNLive which had initially intended to allow users to post, NDTV allows you to register and host your blog at www.ndtvblogs.com. In […]

How can a few people decide what we view online?

July 20, 2006 – 9:30 pm

If news reports are to be believed, the list issued by the government contained those sites that they considered propagandist; some wrote against the Government, Islam and Christianity. Of these, four were blogspot blogs, and one was on typepad. That’s just five of 17 in this list (there are reports of others that have been […]
