blog ideas

Perhaps due to being still early stage into blogging, due to not getting enough time to take out for focussed reading, My posts still remain too generic perhaps for some more time.

And I felt at this stage, keeping my pen busy is more important than whether I'm defining into a niche area!  

Enough justfications to myself.

While going through my notes I came across many blog ideas I jotted down, over a period of last one week, with an intention to dwell upon each a post.

• Which phone is best fit for your needs? Iphone, blackberry or any other non-smart phone?  : I was in the process to buy a phone best fit for my needs, and I felt there's no thorough blog to help any one to come to a buying decision.

• In my previous post I mentioned about  Ugadi panchangam ( Predictions) . And today morning I was going through some slide-show for 'Social Media predictions 2010'.      That was good for thought, and I think, at the end of 2010 nothing from the predictions may make any sense. But the idea of predicting something piqued my interest.  Hence I'll be writing  a post with some title like ' Do we need predictors or predictions?'   Let's see how this comes out.
• Today I saw on TV, one state communist leader's unveiling a (rediculous) plan to give Rs10000 per month for every unemployee  in the country.  I wonder is there any limit to lunacy of these communist leaders !  And the worse is no politician can publicly condemn, nor explain perils we have ahead of us, if we don't think further than this. Perhaps I can write a big post condemning all obsoletely idealistic communists.
• Well, I have another idea for creating job creation  at micro level , that can be useful for all employees as well as unemployees, and should definitely work out with employers hiring them. I want to club that idea with Lo-So networks, I think it's perfect combination. I really look forward to much reaserched workable plan, and before that a blog post that thoroughly explains the same, to share the same with the world at large.

These are a few, I have in mind, and in my note book.  Hope I will be able to do justice for these ideas. I wish to know if there are any posts anyone come across with same ideas.

Twitter: Another status symbol?

In India 30 yrs back having a TV and a phone connection was sign of a few rich. They might be using TV, as it's best box for time pass ever invented, but they may n't be using phone really except as a status symbol, nor many knew how to place a call ( as it's not as easy as now-a-days).

Ambassador Car was another status symbol even till some 15 years back.

Generally status symbols are used more for impressing or scaring others than being much beneficial use, for the owner. It can also imply  that they who have these status symbols do n't want to be left behind, at least seemingly, than others whoever are already having the same.

That is 'Status symbol' used to serve a psychological need than any real need. There are as many such symbols as there are people in India, and at every level it's its convenient forms and shapes. 

They have short life or long life, based on how difficult or easy everyone else can own the same.

10-12 years back, having a cell phone was again a status symbol. Many had bought that new gadget just to say they are a class above the rest.  Such class of people really felt bad and sad when every body started using cell phone. 

Now most  educated and employed are on all kinds of social networks. Many are there because they don't want to feel bad when somebody cries aloud about 'power of web 2.0' with unlimited excitement. 

Right now every one is having twitter accounts set up, after a few or no tweets, they are not coming back. They are there just not to be behind, but are not trying to know how to make further use of it.  This is perhaps another status symbol  for the time being!
