It’s 31st of December, the day that brings us to the end of the year 2011! The year has been quite an eventful and painful one.

Today we can move ahead with the hope that 2012 will be better because hope is what drives us and hope is what lets us live!

Revolution 2020 – Chetan Bhagat’s New Book
Chetan Bhagat, one of India’s most popular authors and among 100 most influential people according to TIME magazine announced his 5th Book today at 11am.
As opposed to what everyone was guessing that after Five Point Someone, One Night At Call Centre, 3 Mistakes of My Life and 2 States – the 5th book’s name will definitely have the numerical 4 (four) in it – the next book is titled – Revolution 2020 with the tagline ‘Love Corruption Ambition’.
Are you disappointed? Well, frankly I am a little. Was expecting a more interesting and creative name. I know some of you might be thinking, looking at the names of Chetan’s last 3 books, that how could I actually expect something like that. But frankly I did…

The History of VALVE – Half Life Creators
Gaming has always been one of my passions. During my engineering degree days, we had connected over 200 desktops and laptops to play multi-player games over LAN. Among the many games played was Counter Strike. VALVE, the creators of games like Counter Strike and Half Life has several gamers like me on their fan list waiting for new games to be released from them after suffering a long ‘Valve Time’.
The illustration below will take you through the history of VALVE and let you know several facts about the company including their various games and digital sale numbers. The source of the image is : Online Universities

Do you run an Ad-free Blog?
The irony of this blog post is that ewebbuddy.com is not an ad-free blog but still since I am always up to spread awareness about great things, this blog is being posted.
Blogging to many is still a very personal thing. People write their thoughts, views, ideas and share with the world via blog posts. I have come across so many bloggers via Indiblogger.in who are passionate about blogging and they do it only for the love of it. If you are one of those, read on…
Though there are many professional bloggers toda
y and those who earn quite a lot of money from blogs like problogger, blogging is still used primarily as a non-profit medium of spread ideas, thoughts and what not. Many bloggers do not like to add advertisements to their sites or getting paid to promote something. They share their experiences because they want to and not because they are told to. Among such people are Kerismith and Jeff Pitcher. These two individuals have started a movement to mark blogs that do not post any sort of ads as ‘Ad-free Blog‘. By simply adding a small image on your site you can tell your users that your blog is ad-free and they will definitely appreciate it. Many users do not like to be shown advertisements on blogs even if it is a small text-based ad. Tell such users that you believe in what they believe as well and earn their love.
Someone has rightly said – “Small things go a long way!” – who knows this small addition takes you somewhere great. Also you deserve to feel proud if your blog does not advertise.
How to add the icon?
Well you need be a person ready to agree to the following:
By using this icon on my website I am stating…
1. That I am opposed to the use of corporate advertising on blogs.
2. That I feel the use of corporate advertising on blogs devalues the medium.
3. That I do not accept money in return for advertising space on my blog.
