Well, the topic of discussion today is whether students should become bloggers or consider blogging as their primary career option. I thought of writing about this topic after reading a post on melvin’s blog (a blog by a student blogger) and also after observing the trend of more and more students focusing on blogging, of late.
I know that it’s a controversial topic and many of the young bloggers in my own private blogosphere are students. They are all wonderful people who have great potential to make it big on the Internet. However, my sincere advice to them is that when you are studying just focus on that alone! And I have my reasons to believe so.

I have written quite a couple of posts in the past explaining how you can derive great blog post ideas while fighting writer’s block or have no idea as to what topic to write about.

Looks like the recent PayPal India chaos – whereby the personal account holders couldn’t withdraw money to Indian banks – has come to an end! When I tried to withdraw money to my bank account last week, it asked me to declare a purpose for the proceeds received through PayPal (See the screenshot below).
This is definitely a great move. As I have always maintained, the online income earners need to comply to government rules and regulations while making money. In principle they are bringing in foreign exchange (Forex) to India that’s not accounted for and sometimes not taxed.

Exactly two years ago, I had maintained that facebook is going to witness explosive growth over its competition. Today it has actually done so and well beyond expectations at that. It’s no more a mere social networking platform but also a place where people market their products and promote their brands.
Facebook fan pages have become one of the bare minimum ingredients for any company in order to successfully build its brand and online campaigns (even for offline success).
