Brand or Generic Domain Names?

What’s in a brand name? A name that means ONLY YOU - that is what your goal should be when you try to build a brand name for your business or website. While there is a MASSIVE market for generic domain name reselling where people buy generic names in hope that someone will want it one day and they’ll earn million but I fail to understand why people don’t realize that while some generic names can help you build a successful business around it - not all generic names work. Search.com is not the biggest search engine - books.com is not selling the most number of books online.

Nothing much to tell about .tel domain names

ICANN has introduced a new top level domain - .TEL - where companies can have a single page website containing their telephone contact numbers - no images, no logo - nothing.

Birth of the true social network

TechCrunch has linked itself with FaceBook - this is a landmark for FaceBook as now many websites will connect to it and the amount of information they will have will probably surpass Google in a few years. This information is of course more relevant and a much better measure to rank websites with as this information is more “Human” and not something like “page back links” which Google uses as a primary method to rank websites.

CEO’s recession survival - what a great post

I really enjoyed reading the Recession survival guide written by Glenn Kelman I think it beautifully prepares new CEO’s about how to think of their job or role in the company. I can imagine a new CEO going around trying to please everyone and being defensive about his every decision - wondering if he is doing the right thing and what the board members will think. It’s tremendous pressure and I think this post addresses most of the issues new CEO’s face.

My 5 favorite & Most Used Iphone apps

Here’s my take on what I feel are the most useful Iphones apps available in the App Store. I haven’t jail-broken my Iphone - if you are good enough you will make it to the app store.
When I say my favorites apps - I mean applications which in someway help us be more productive and utilities which use the Iphone features very well. I use most of these applications almost everyday.

Facebook Vs Orkut - Is the name important

Two of the giant social networks of the world but each popular in certain countries. While Facebook is the leading social network in the US and Europe. Orkut used to define social networking here in India. Why does this happen and is there any particular reason why some websites do better than others in geographical areas.

Best NetBooks and why I didn’t buy

Some time back I was considering buying a netbook to replace my huge Dell laptop. I researched and found that there were two companies which dominated the market: Asus & MSI.
While both seemed decently good - I was turned off by the fact that the key board, the screen, the resolution seemed to be a problem for many people who had bought them. And frankly the market in between the laptop and a mobile is not for everyone.

Being an Entrepreneur

Being an Entrepreneur is fun - and you can learn how to do it very easily if you are open to people and their problems. I’ll start by telling you about what should motivate you and how. For most people some of the key motivations for working as an Entrepreneur are:

1) You get to work for yourself and you set your own work hours.
2) The money is much better than if I work a job.
3) You will only get rich if I start a business.
