Blog Buzz: CNN IBN Show on Indian Blogosphere




amit agarwal on cnn ibn tvCNN IBN has started a new section called Blog Buzz on Connect show which will cover the best of Indian blogosphere.

I am glad to be part of their first program which was aired on TV yesterday. You can watch the recording by clicking the play button above.

This video sequence was shot late-night at my residence earlier this month.

Sangeetha Sarma has published the video transcript on Moneycontrol.com
Welcome to the world of Amit Agarwal, one of the few professional bloggers in India. He may not blog from bed, but the only muscle he uses is between his ears and he's got a job that gives him the kind of freedom most of us dream of.

According to Agarwal, if you want to rewrite your career, you need to be original, post regularly, be consistent with your content and be patient. Agarwal says his blog only started making money after about a year. If you think you can post 5-7 times a day and work 12-hour days, but you want a little something extra to give you an edge, then you could copy Agarwal and nickname your kid Google!

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
