Case Of The Disappearing Blog?

March 21, 2009

You probably know about my book, “No Business Like E-Business”, that sells on Amazon.

August 19, 2008

“Twit” is no longer just a mean word I signed up for Twitter a while ago. But I never “got it” – until recently – when I figured out the awesomeness of microblogging. Seth Godin wrote this on his blog: “My goal in creating this blog is to spread my ideas and keep me from [...]

I recently asked a very close non-blogger, never-blogged-before friend to start his own blog on my new multi-blog site, YehHaiIndia.com (driven by WordPress Mu – very cool software).
