Change of guard at the helm...& other stuff

Yes, we know. It's been a while since we posted on our Blog. There's a reason why. Since the last time we posted here, many things have happened. Guess we were busy tackling them & our tired souls found no time to come here to post. Bad policy, we know, but then such is life.

Very quickly. Our previous Editor NuNet has retired (just joking. He's moved on). What's New On The Net is now being edited by Sorab Ghaswalla, ( the man who's writing this post). For more on him ( me) here's some details:

An old world journalist who went to the light. Sorab Ghaswalla is a born-again chronicler (this time digital), a newbie Internet Entrepreneur and a digital world consultant, all rolled in one. One of the Internet’s earliest advocates, he was snared by the Web in 1999. He’s been in the zone ever since. To give a more formal touch to his Internet nomadism, he recently founded an Internet consultancy firm, New Age Content Services LLP (www.newagecontentservices.com). The firm also owns two Sites – What’s New On The Net (http://www.whatsnewonthenet.com) and the 1st-ever Digital World Lifestyle Blog called Always Above the Fold (http://www.alwaysabovethefold.com), which Sorab edits. Roaming the labyrinths of the digital world, he occasionally surfaces in the real one. Because of which his family and friends have given him the moniker -The Digital Monk.

Hi Guys.....

Okay, now I shall quit talking about me in the 3rd person. 

What's New On The Net has been chugging along quite nicely, thank you. I have tweaked the layout a little, made it more reader-friendly. No major changes though. The aim of the website remains the same - to be a one-stop window for all developments related to the digital world including Internet related Startups, & in the world of smartphone apps.

New Age Content Services LLP,  our management, has also launched the 1st-ever digital world lifestyle Blog called Always Above the Fold. So go have a look because that Blog, too, is run by yours truly.

There are many things that we at What's New On The Net are looking out for (See the list below):

1) Partners ( full time or part-time)

2) Venture Funding

3) Freelance writers

So, if you are any one of these, write in to administrator (at) whatsnewonthenet.com

Before I sign off, I promise to post here more often. 

Cheers

2 years of existence

That's the right word. On March 13, we complete 2 years of my Website's "existence". To be frank, when I had started the Site I had not envisaged it getting past the 6 months mark. But look at it guys, 730 days of existence....all on our own money & wit & initiative....surely it deserves a little pat on the back, huh? Applause....

First, lets get the business part of it out of the way before I get all sentimental about the journey so far. For our 2nd anniversary, we at Whats New On The Net have launched Market2Net, a new service for Startups/Internet Products & Smartphone Apps. M2N is a telescoped Marketing/Branding/PR/Advertising service that will hold hands with Internet Startups in their initial days & go about telling the Online world about them. So, while the Startups owners/managers are busy running the Site & attending to related issues like Servers, design and funding, Market2Net will do all the publicity for the Startup across the Web. The service will make enough noise for people & organisations across the length and breadth of the Internet to sit up and take note. For US $100 dollars for a month, we will do it. This is a personalized service & not a mindless automated one. Each client will be handled by our in-house M2N executive on a one-on-one level.

Of course, there's a lot I can say about Market2Net but guess readers may have got enough of a general idea by now. To know more, you may click here.

The other thing I have done is that our highly popular The Most Useful Website of the Month will now be extended to Smartphone Apps. So starting April 2012, we will start announcing The Most Useful Smartphone App of the Month, too, so watch out for that one. We have also made a few design changes to the Website, too.

Now., to the nostalgia part....so the last 2 years have certainly been an eye-opener, to put it mildly. We discovered a whole new world Online & now are proud members of it. And proud of the fact that members of this community chose to follow us - our Website, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Chime.in, on every Social Network that we are members of...so a big THANK YOU to all of 'em, & a BIG request - Keep following us guys.

Focusing on the year gone by, Whats New On The Net has moved up several notches & passed some more milestones in its journey. The Website got Google Rank 3, in the last year we set up our Board of Advisors & also our first advisor, Fred. T, based in Palo Alto, USA, we got a little bit more advertising, a tad more readers, some more recognition as publishers of Startups, Internet news & developments...& of course some brickbats too (sorry there for letting you down).

We also joined several more Social Networks like Google+ & Chime.in. We also launched our website's mobile phone version on Dudamobile. Another important milestone was our website's LIVE events section. We have already shown several world events live, most recent being the launch of the 3rd version of Apple iPad.

There are many such milestones that we hurtled past in the last 365 days but listing them all here would be kinda blowing our own trumpet.We would like our work to speak for itself. But before logging out from here, let me assure our fans/readers of an even better 3rd year of operations & a request to keep following Whats New On The Net & providing support.

So long

NuNet

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

The first quarter of 2012 has been quite fruitful for the website. Not only has our website grown in traffic, we have also started getting some advertisements outside Google Ads.

Whats New On The Net has made further inroads in consciousness of Internet readers. The flow of letters from readers is more, free lance writers have started asking us whether they could write for our website, it is clear that the website is becoming a recognisable and solid place for all info related to the Net and Smartphone Apps.

We have not made any major changes to the Site. With our 2nd aniversary approaching in March, all pending changes shall be implemented then. There could be surprises in store for our readers,so watch out.

Cheers till then.
