Writing

I have number of blogs and it is really very difficult for me to keep posting to all of them different pieces. Sometimes, even it is difficult to regularly post to my this blog. While searching for tips on writing ideas, I came across Scott Berkun. He says

The first goal is to get one word on the page. It can be any word, but you have to choose it, and put it down. I’m partial to the ridiculous[1], so for me it’s often Papaya, Pomegranate or Throat-warbler-man-grove (If you’re thinking that’s not a word, go back two paragraphs). If one word was easy, go for two. Still feeling lucky? Go for a small sentence. It doesn’t matter what the words are, but get them down. Write the lyrics to the song on the radio, the names of people you’ve slept with, your favorite Dr. Seuss lines, it just doesn’t matter. Once all the magic muscles in your little fingers get going, you’ll soon find yourself, in between rounds of one fish blue fish, writing some intelligent things. If it peters out, repeat. Return to the unit of writing anyone can do, and build up again.

I think, he is right.

I will be syndicating my blog posts to my blogs wherever relevant. All the posts shall be part of this blog as well.

Progress So Far

I have posted two pieces to two different pages - Politics and Inbox. But it seems that only "Home" page is working as a blog and all others are static like wordpress. But what I am looking a feel like "Joomla" that posts articles on "Home" page as well as on related category page. This feature is missing in Wordpress and Blogger. But let's find a way around.

Future of Internet

Here is a quick look into the future of internet.


"Imagine sitting in a rural health clinic, streaming three-dimensional medical imaging over the web and discussing a unique condition with a specialist in New York. Or downloading a high-definition, full-length feature film in less than five minutes. Or collaborating with classmates around the world while watching live 3-D video of a university lecture. Universal, ultra high-speed Internet access will make all this and more possible. We've urged the FCC to look at new and creative ways to get there in its National Broadband Plan – and today we're announcing an experiment of our own."

Tech Is Too Cheap to Meter: It's Time to Manage for Abundance, Not Scarcity

"When scarce resources become abundant, smart people treat them differently, exploiting them rather than conserving them. It feels wrong, but done right it can change the world."

Fast World

The world is changing fast. Not only the pace of change is fast but the nature of change is also fast. We have fast food, instant coffee, real time chats, ready made friendships and virtual reality. The story does not end here, we have instant publishing tools - Blogs, say few words as these come to mind - twitter and instantly create online community, thanks to "facebook". Fast means ready-made, instant. All this has changed our view of the world that was.

Online Collaboration

Today, I would like to share with you something that I have found just by coincidence. I came across the "ZOHO" office applications that work on web using your web browser - internet explorer or firefox. All you have to go to http://www.zoho.com and login by using your gmail Id or yahoo Id and start using online applications. It is a tremendous tool for collaborating online. You don't have to physically everywhere. You can interact and collaborate your colleagues in remote areas or in other places using this online application tools. All you need is an internet connection.

Start your online collaboration effort.

بہ زبان غالب "میں نے خط کو مکالمہ بنا دیا ہے "۔

بلاگ لکھتے ھوے مرزا غالب بہت یاد آتے ھیں۔ انہوں نے بہت عرصہ پہلے یہ کہا تھا کہ میں نے وہ چیز ایجاد کی ھے کہ خط کو مکالمہ بنا دیا ھے۔ بلاگ ایک دو طرفہ مکالمہ ھے۔ بلاگ کا مصنف کسی موضوع کو زیر بحث لاتا ھے اور ھم اس پر اپنی راے کا اظیار کرتے ھیں۔ عام مکالمہ اور بلاگ میں فرق صرف یہ ھے کہ مکالمہ بروقت ھے جبکہ بلاگ میں مکالمہ دو مختلف اوقات میں ھوتا ھے - بلاگ لکھنے کا اور اس پر اظہار خیال کا وقت مختلف ھے۔

Socializing Online

I have made minor changes in my Blog. First, now I shall be publishing my views on host of other things than only Islam and Islamic Banking, and open source software movement. Second, I have changed the template of my blog.

All these changes are mostly, the result of my experience with "facebook" - the social networking portal. To my amazement, I found my university fellows and old friends there. One such friend provided links to articles relating to the origins of current financial mess. I am enjoying this new way of socializing. In my quest to know more about Blogs, Online Socializing and other related things, I came across "The New Rules of Marketing and PR" by David Meerman Scott.

Anyone can find me on facebook as saeedbabar and on twitter as saeedbabar. I am looking forward to meet like minded people on the net.
