After microblogging, its a time for micro-question asking site

All similarities of Twitter is Available over FormSpring.Me like changing Themes, Following button, Profile Pic, Uploaded background but the working is not at all like microblogging. After the increase of Twitter lovers, there many new microblogging site launched like identi.ca and others but they didn't gained much popularity coz these all are the same concept and works same!


I must say you that formspring is very different from the Twitter service and is totally works on different concept. It is a site where users can ask their question to any users registered and the user can answer their question without emailing him.

To grab his answers, he need to come to that profile page later to see his Answers along with the Question  Publicly!

FormSpring is too having a Widget to put it on your blog, where the users can ask question to you directly from the sidebar without visiting the contact page. I suggest you to try this site once and i am sure that if you like Twitter then you enjoy this site! :)

Twitter is the most popular site where many bloggers, company, celebrities and proffesionals are depend on. Huge ammount of  of money are daily spend by the rich twitterers to gain more popularity and followers, but what about those small tweeterers? Are they not able to gain followers?

Gaining Followers by the small tweeters is really a tough job and many users lead to spamming to gain their followers, as a result they are banned. There's some ways to gain followers....
  1.  First, if you are a popular person or celebrity or you account is linked with a popular site or the account is a brand.
  2. Secondly, if you are daily attempting reciprocal following- where users follow each other to retain their number of followers and in other word, the make friendship or deals with the other twitter users to follow each other.
Why they need followers?
Its known to everyone that Twitter is a place of daily active users, where users can promote their own sites article or sharing affiliate links to earn money (but sharing affiliate links is highly restricted) .

  2. Try to tweet the text contents maximum time, this gives a good impressions in front of the Tweeters and they follow you.
  3. Whenever follows you, follow him back.

  10. Always Retweet the intersting tweets of the popular tweeterers!

Aims that Bloggers Always wants to Achieve for Money!

More than millions of Bloggers are posting their blog post daily but only 10 percent of them are success in blogging world but rest of them are still working hard to achieve their Goal of  Success...

Why peoples want to become a blogger?
If the time they spent in the blogging are used in other profession then they may have got a fixed monthly income but they still sticking with their computer screen and typing all the time, tweeting, commenting, digging, stumbling, reading the popular bloggers success and many more activities that gains traffic, popularity and quality content to their blog.

The Blogging platform is chosen by the maximum users because blogging is the most easiest way of earning by just sitting in front of the home computer. And if we talk about the money amount then i must say you that you can earn much better than your job or much more than that!

But to reach in the position of high earning money from the blog, you must reach to that level that the blogger like Darren of  Problogger or the Yaro Starak of  Entrepreneurs-Journey.com . These mentioned bloggers earns more than $10,000-$30,000 per annnum, which is really a big amount. Just think if you live in India and you earns $3000 per month then you will receive around Rs. 137,399.56 INR. There a blogger named Harsh Agarwal of ShoutMeLoud who earns such amount of money through blogging.

I can't say that only the popular bloggers earns money but the money also generates by the small bloggers too... they use Adsense, Chitika, and others different Advertisements and combines them to receive a sufficient amount of money. But do you think that earning a normal amount can compare with your Salaries? And who knows that later in the future Bloggers competition may keep you back and unsuccessful!

So, the money is generally the main thing that the bloggers wants to achieve in his or her blogging carrier. But in spite of money, the blogger also wants Popularity, Followers, Interviews in many popular blogs and at last but not the least- The Quality Contents.

I just want to say- always write the Quality Posts on your blog, so that your readers starts trusting on you and always ready to do anything for you- even can buy your products.

I think, No introduction needed for Mashable blog... A blog which is rocking the web users for years with its light blue brand color and its attractive designs. But the design of Mashable has became old and they has changed its whole template to a noticeable deep color of the same earlier. I experienced that this new template takes time to load... I am not sure, it might be my connection slow problem.


Not only that, they even had reduced the amount of their Twitter Tweets, which earlier i noticed around 17,000 is now a little of 400 tweets. All predated tweets are deleted.


This shows that Mashable is again having fresh and attractive contents! Nothing is old in this blog and their readers too enjoying the new design as well as its newly pattern of article display.

Whenever any of the FF users entered to his account in the 1st January, 2010, he might have found a duck passing from the right-hand to the left-hand side of the screen. "A Duck with a 2010 banner" goes from right to left was needed to be shot but many users didn't knew what to do with the it. This duck was actually a concept of the TV Game "Duck Hunt", where a duck need to be killed by Game guns to win the game.

The above is the screenshot of the Duck Appearance and the many thought that it was only a Greetings from FriendFeed! The Duck came only once the page was loaded and to see that again a user needed to reload it.

See the Screen shot below where i shot that duck dead.
