Thank you for visiting the Online Socialite blog and reading this weeks post called Blog Envy. For this post I had the hard task of choosing a blog to follow up the awesome blogs that I have posted about already, Post Secrets and Lesbiatopia. I am an avid web surfer and constantly add new blogs to my bookmarks as I go. There are plenty of blogs that I consider to be favorites, but one blog that I truly do have a certain level of envy for is a blog called Digital Inspirations which can be found at Labnol.org. This is a blog that I envy for its high level of readership, active message board, and clean layout. The number one reason that I envy this blog however, is because of its content. The blog owner is an engineer from India named Amit Agarwal, and he is a very knowledgeable person who has given his all when it comes to this blog. The result is a highly informative technology blog with a large readership and fan following.
The topic of this blog is computers, software, emerging technology and the internet in general.
I found this site when I was searching for a way to add translations to my blogs. (That article is here.) While I was there I also found an article on How to Connect a Laptop to A TV and How to Read a PDF on Your iPod or Mobile Phone. I found out how to add the print feature to this blog and more, plus I joined the Digital Inspiration Message Board here as well.
There are so many tech resources here for anybody on the internet its crazy!
When I am trouble shooting a problem for my blogs now I head over to that blog and run a search through the articles. I will admit that the archives are not set up in categories, but the most recent posts are linked on the left of the blog, and like I mentioned you can run a search at the top of the blog and it will search through all the articles on the Digital Inspiration blog for the keywords you select. Plus you can always ask questions and get answers on the Digital Inspiration Message Boards here.
You will also find a whole section of ‘Labnol Videos’ with various video tutorials and such that Amit has posted to YouTube, such as the following video on How to Create a Photo Collage in Picasa:
The Digital Inspirations Blog has received a lot of online attention, and is truly worthy of this weeks Blog Envy blog post!
Digital Inspiration blog averages more than 1.4 million hits per month and has been quoted in mainstream publications including The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, CNet, Wired, CNN Money, Guardian, Financial Times, CBC, Wired, ITWire, MSNBC, BoingBoing, BBC, Mercury News, Sydney Morning Herald, and others.
The site is read by computers hobbyists, students, technology professionals, journalists, not-so-tech-savvy mom and dads, entrepreneurs, early adapters and decision makers.
Digital Inspiration won the Best Technology Blog award at Indibloggies 2006. It is also included in the prestigious "Blogs of Note" list compiled by the Blogger team at Google.
A survey by Business World magazine puts Digital Inspiration blog in the list of most popular blogs and online youth hangouts. The site is also mentioned as one of the top 20 blogs at Microsoft BlogStars. – Digital Inspiration About Us
All this attention is because Digital Inspirations has truly relevant content to internet users worldwide.
Many of the common issues that internet users face are covered somewhere in this online technology guide, and you will find that the message boards will bring you the answers you seek as well. The readers of the Digital Inspiration blog also seem to be very involved in the forum and keep the author on his toes with their comments. I for one really appreciate the work that Amit does, and with over 20,000 readers I can see that a lot of others do as well! You can read an interview with Amit Agarwal here, who has been called India's first professional blogger. I encourage you to take a look at Labnol.org for your tech related needs online and be sure to join the message board as well.
Thank you very much for reading this weeks Online Socialite Blog Envy blog post and stay well until the next time!
