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
