Welcome me back in the Blogsphere
2008-03-29 10:01:00 I have been out of the blogsphere for more or less two weeks. And those two weeks were really very excruciating, full of tension and tiring. Here are some facts that had happened to me on those weeks that I forcibly shut down the blogging side of me.1. I presented my thesis proposal to my methods of research teacher and an invited professor and to the whole class. I had a grilling from them though my topic is already great. The bottomline is: They wanted me to contextualize my research on househusbands ( I will be using a qualitative-phenemenological approach) into a more Filipino-based psychology and indentity. 2. The abovementioned recommendation gave lots of headaches for weeks. Its simple cause: research, research and more research! I made revisions on my frameworks and related literature (and I think revision on the whole process, goal and skeleton of my research). Filipinizing it (if there is such a word) was really nerve-wrecking. Burning midnight candles, reading ...

Pak Blogsphere ? Top Ten Blogs - 2007
2007-12-16 06:31:00 Raza RumiPak Tea House and Jehane RumiI have to admit that selecting Top Ten from Pakistan blogsphere was a difficult task. I used an arbitrary criteria: quality, diversity, regularity; and value-addition to Pakistani blogosphere. As you can tell this is a pretty subjective criteria and I apologise if I have missed out the good blogs (I write these lines stuck in a traffic jam with no internet access).The list in not ranked ? there is no way that one can do such a thing?All Things PakistanManaged by Adil Najam and Owais Mughal, ATP is interesting and diverse and provides the space for a lively discussion. A good number of its readership and discussants are the expat Pakistanis which skews the discussions and makes them a little out of touch. However, the quality of posts remains excellent. Furthermore, it attempts to highlight the myriad aspects of our shared "pakistaniat" and therefore does not become boring or one-dimensional.WatandostPakist-ani civil servant turned academic (quite...

Pak Blogsphere - Top Ten Posts - 2007
2007-12-12 14:20:00 Dr Farrukh MalikIn deciding top ten posts of year 2007, it is too difficult to stay objective. My choice is debatable but I will try to keep it as much objective as I can.1. Sindhi Newspapers in PakistanThis post by Owais Mughal at Pakistaniat.com is unique in a sense that it has focused on print media in a regional language. It is an effort worthy of appreciation since it appears as an attempt to bring the regional media in mainstream of blogging.2. Blogging PaysThis post of SAJ Shirazi at Light within defines the art of monetizing the blogs. Bogs is Pakistan are considered no more than a favorite past time in majority but SAJ appears giving a new meaning to blogging by sharing his experience. This post has got this potential to leave long term impact on Pakistani blogsphere.3. PainThis post by Phil at The Canvas is beautiful since Phil is tacit enough to link his bodily pain with the pain society is facing generally in the wake of current political friction.

Pak Blogsphere - Top Ten Blogs - 2007
2007-12-11 07:30:00 Dr Farrukh MalikLike last year (1, 2), Light Within has asked bloggers to point out to Top Ten Posts and Top Ten Blogs in Pakistan blogspheres (2007). Series of posts have come in. Here is the first one.It is very hard to choose the top ten posts and blogs is Pakistani blogsphere when we do have so many good places to visit and read the original content. In an attempt to make it easier for me I am examining the blogs on criteria that comprises of three main points. Those three points are as under:1. Regularity/Activity2. Content3. ImpactHaving this thing in my mind I tried to search the blogsphere. The blogs I searched and viewed for the ranking purpose are picked up from bloggers.pk since it is the main repository of blogs of Pakistani origin. In my survey following blogs came to my notice as top ten blogs:1. Teeth MaestroTeeth Maestro is one original blogs around. If we will check this blog on the criteria I have fixed to judge, this blog is one of those blogs that use to get upda...

Personal Finance Blogsphere Update
2007-11-26 21:54:00 Carnival of Personal Finance #128 is up with some good posts. I was especially fond of the following:1. Why passive investing beats active investing - This post by everything finance blog discusses one of the basic mistakes of both novice and veteran investors. I myself have written quite a bit about this point.2. A healthy diet doesn't have to be expansive - This post by our family village refutes one of the basic myths about health foods. Indeed buying healthy food is expensive per product but it reduces the many expenses of unhealthy foods from candy and salty treats to health care.3. Lessons from the dot-com bubble - This post by the investors journal has some everlasting market truths. Which lessons will we learn next is an interesting follow-up question.The photo was taken by djinas
Presence of Sindhi blogs in Blogsphere?
2007-11-05 17:33:00 Sindhi is regional language of Pakistan along with Punjabi, Pashto and Balochi side by side. Apart from this, several other languages are also being spoken in Pakistan e.g. Siraiki, Hindko etc. Urdu claims the status of National language. Since blogging, even in English, is not that common in Pakistan; it was hardly expected to find blogs in Sindhi. The Pakistani blog aggregator blogger.pk has no Sindhi blog listed. Having this idea in my mind, I started search for Sindhi blogs in Cyberspace. My first step in this regard was to run a search in some search engine. Since Google stays my first priority regarding web searches so I knocked at the Google's door and results were not disappointing ...

BlogRush is all about spreading your content on other users blogsHow it works? Simple you sign up in a few minutes and simply add the BlogRush widget yo your blog, and you start display headlines content from other blogs, just as others display your own content.So far sounds pretty old and boring, right? And that's where its starts to get really interesting, since the more users read your blog the more references you gain in others people's blogs, and if someone clicks the referral button and signs up from your blog you basically multiply your exposure.So they say anyway.Its worth s shot, check it out, feel free to sign up, its free and sounds pretty darn good. Just click the BlogRush button at the widget and see for yourself.Boldinvestors latest and greatest posts: including news items, editorial takes, investing opportunities ideas,and much more.

When I started out in blogging my goal was to be in the top 100,000 of Technorati, after I reached that goal my next goal was to be in the top 50,000. By the rate of back links it looks as if it won’t be long till DesiNotes.com get in Technorati’s top 50,000 blogs. I learned alot from reading blog tutorials, talking to other bloggers, and just exploring other blogs. My main goal is not to make alot of money, but to get my voice heard in the blogsphere.
