This is written by Sreejith Ramakrishnan When I refer to this statement I’m talking about the westernised version of karma other than the traditional Indian word.

This is written by Manuel Amador Offending your audience for fun and profit: how to say controversial things Do you blog? Then offending your audience should be the least of your concerns. And here’s why. I’m going to begin this article with a single thought: I’d rather you insult me than have you be dishonest with me. And here’s why.

This is written by Jessica Beck Blog Juggling: Keeping All Your Online Identities In The Air at Once These days it isn’t unusual for people to have several online aliases. There’s the personal persona, hanging out on MySpace and YouTube; there’s the work persona, reading news feeds and doing online research; and there’s often a third, leisure persona, frequenting specialized bulletin boards and sites for hobbies like crafting, D&D or politics.
