Ranjith’s Castle

Amit is a very interesting character whom I first met at BarCampChennai has changed his profession to Blogging from Software Engineering.

He seems to make better money through blogging than his software coding. Write to him @ A.P.Agarwal@Gmail.com to get some of his ideas.

Cheers - Ranjith

PutVote.com is one more social bookmarking site which I see is a mix of delicious and the digg.com.

In my opinion, the comments and votes are going to be biased unless the sample size of the votes is going to he high and diversified.

Chandru says that “They does this for the sake of fun.” Have to wait to see how it is going to be different from delecious and how it will steal users from delicious.

I found these in a VoodooPad document I wrote a long time ago, in which
I was thinking about startups. I’m not sure whether they’re all true or
not, and they’re in no particular order (even though they’re number).

1. Being too busy is not good. Having some buffer time increases quality, responsiveness, creativity, endurance, and enjoyment.
2. At any given time, focus on as few things as possible.
3. Always start simply.
4. There are always more opportunties and ideas.
5. Business can be fun because it’s a competition, and winning is fun.
   And, even better, it can make a difference to people and the world, and
   also because it can bring you security and nice things.
6. Good people want to kick ass. Join forces with good people and let them.
7. Take the long view.
8. You know what to do next. You don’t have to know what do to after next, because you will when you get there.
9. Think big.
10. There are few things more important than where you put your attention.
11. Measure. Machines are better than humans at knowing what is really
    going on inside machines and can even be helpful in figuring out what’s
    going on inside humans. Make them tell you and make better decisions.
12. Pretty much everything is about user experience.
13. A better work environment leads to a better customer envionment
    (product). A better work experience leads to a better customer
    experience.
14. Making money is good. Even when you don’t have to.
15. Make it easier to do the right thing than the wrong thing. (Reduce the sin gap*.)
16. Things that make for healthy people often lead to healthy companies: balance, good communication, breathing, grooming.
