It was a hot afternoon (not really! just trying to give it a dramatic angle) and the jaljeera story starts from this tweet of mine. Sachin & I were having fun on Twitter and was later joined by Praval (he rather hijacked the conversation – Good work buddy!) and Ketan (also know as Keeda - he is responsible for the motivation behind making Jaljeera as trending topic & for the cartoon).
Our very own Jeff has once again, posted a short and sweet write up about Follow Friday campaign (of course, his thoughts were provoked by Andrew Mueller and who in-turn got motivated by Seth Simonds) that rules twitter on every Friday and across all the continents (of course, there is no official confirmation about the fact if this guy actually tweeted from antarctica or not).
When the world is talking about leaked iPhone 3.0 beta 2 and praising it all over, I’ve been pretty unfortunate enough to not own it till this time and probably I should blame Indian mobile telcos for the same. I understand that iPhone’s pricing is pretty ridiculous in India, however I would go for it if Indian Telcos provide an unlimited 3g facility (we can expect that they’ll launch 3G soon in India) with it. My craving for having an iPhone increased when Abhishek bought it and was flaunting it in WordCamp India, that Blog Design Studio co-organized in Feburary.
I recently discovered the fact that, I was one of the top 50 power users of twitter in India. However, the service showed me as power users isn’t active anymore and then I checked Twitter Grader from HubSpot and fell in love with it.

Twitter grader allows you to see your ranking against other twitter users and I am yet again fortunate enough to be part of the top 50 power users of twitter in india.
Hubspot has done some wonderful work in internet marketing and have come up with tools like Website grader, Twitter Grader and Facebook Grader too. I love Twitter grader as it is one of the few tools that lets you find out the power of your twitter profile and lets you compare your profile with millions of twitter users around the world.
I noticed that there are many bloggers out there, who make small mistakes every now and then. So thought that it’ll be a great idea to run a series that’ll point out the mistake that can be fixed. Not only this will ensure that, people will get aware of those small problems, they’ll be on their toes to fix it as well.
Twitter has been doing really well in recent times; Acquisition offer from Facebook & $ 250 valuation can be called feather in a cap for this wonderful service. Of course, Twitter guys didn’t go with Facebook and are planning to monetize the service on their own. Now the question arises that how exactly Twitter can be monetized? Here are some of ideas that have been thought by many and I thought of just sharing it with you guys -
