How to fake...a web 2.0 logo??

Web 2.0 sites are all the rage and if you’re lucky enough to be bought out by Google or Yahoo there are millions of dollars to be made, but how do you fake it as a Web 2.0 site?

Well, all Web 2.0 sites have one thing in common … they look the part.

Just like surfers have their baggy jumpers and skateboarders have their Vans trainers, Web 2.0 sites need to have a silly name and trendy logo if they’ve got a hope of becoming the next site to get bought out by Google.

Here’s an 11 step guide to creating the perfect Web 2.0 image.

  1. Come up with a silly name .. then take some of the vowels out.
    I’m hoping to “flip” (sell) my company to Google, so what about “Flipr”?
  2. Realize the name’s already been taken as a .com .. so add another word to the website address
    Damn .. www.flipr.com’s already gone! How about www.meetflipr.com?
  3. Choose some bright colours
    How about green? Nobody uses green. Yeah .. I think I’ll go for green and blue.
  4. Think of a cute mascot
    Hmmm .. I don’t want something obvious .. what about a dolphin?
  5. Use “Arial Rounded” as the typeface
    For that cool .. contemporary look.
  6. Add the word “beta”
    Well duh!
  7. And a starburst
    Bet nobody’s ever thought of that before
  8. Throw in some “gel” effects
    That’s sooooo cool!
  9. Add a reflection
    After all, you need to stand out from the crowd.
  10. Ta da! (list)
    Fake Web 2.0 Logo
    Isn’t it pretty!
  11. Think of something for your website to do
    Damn .. I knew there was something I forgot!

And the moral of the story? Just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t mean you have to.

Mesmerized with yourself

I came to read you, and was not dared to write a comment of the blog you said. May be that you have written to empty your mind or its just the public view, I thought you are more confused with yourself about yourself. I am not stopping to talk with you, but, want to make the talk special by talking once or twice a week. Its not good to talk with all those nuisance words again and again with no result being the output. Its good, if we can talk with thinking about the result which we desire to have after the talk. Mainly its the opinion and it values most, when we talk. If we cannot get the call of opinion as correct, then its not good to talk and start the mesmerizing topic to being confused with each other. You are creating the confusion in yourself about thinking your future, still you ask me why should I think about future. Better think about the future, but don't make it feel that same future is creating the burden for your present. You are so intelligent to think about yoursel

My First presentation

I do not know how it feels to be presenting in the class in abroad. But surely I am ready for it. Discussion have been done and I am building my confidence in myself so that I can have a good one. There are many people to help me out. Since it is a group presentation, I do have my partner to present too. I don't know, how it will feel in the middle, but now I am feeling much more relax and easy. Actually I was furious with my partner as she didnot had her own slides. So, I prepared for her and told her to have the presentation on that, today. Since we have nothing to have the presentation as this type of presentation is done in cycle 1 and cycle 2 is basically nothing new. Hope that I will deliver a good speech in the class.
