3 Simple Tips to Follow Before Domain Registration

Think about it this way, everyone is addressing you by many pronouns and adjectives, eventually some end up confused that whom are they talking about? And suddenly a noun is muttered, your name.... and the clouds of confusion diffuse. Similar is the case with your domain name. Value your domain name registration and treat it like the naming ceremony for your business’s first baby. This should be the very first step to create a perfect identity for your company/business/personal use etc. 

Scientifically, domains are integral elements of magnet but for an internet based business these domains themselves work as magnets, when chosen wisely, attracts customers directly. A creative, influential and relevant domain name can create wonders for your business.

Tips to Follow Before Domain Registration

How To Name?

Listening only to the creative part of your mind does not prove smart enough while selecting a name for your online based business. You need to open your mind and look for all possible words & phrases. Should be short, meaningful, compelling and relevant i.e. should relate to your type of business. If you are a writer then the domain should be in your name, if already exists try your name with some funky variation and BINGO! Generic names brand themselves very easily for instance onlinecounseling.net and find.org These domains explain their own services, it sounds relevant and drives traffic very conveniently. Keeping keywords on your priority list will ease up the process.

But, it does not mean that you can’t think out of the box. Go wild and shake every corner of your brain to get the best and spell binding name for your web. What if someone else has thought about the same name you have.... no worries, always keep some options and then go on a searching spree on some reliable free domain search websites and then finalize your domain name. 

Where To Look For Name?

Recently, I was wandering on internet to find a domain name if it existed in the web world and I came across an awesome service called ineedname.com The question arises is why I found it awesome is  it makes the search process easy and very friendly and totally free. All you need to do is just add ineedname.com in your G-talk account, write down your desired domain and Viola! It will show you if the domain exists. And the best thing is, if your desired domain does not exist, for example, you want to own www.taskbin.com , and it's not available, it will show you another option like www.taskb.in so that you get your desired name with further more options.

How to Own Name?

Registration is the most common and important term in every possible aspect of any business. You are not a recognized entity until you go through this process, so better be cautious and trust reliable & cost effective web hosting sources only.

Various web hosting sites provide many options and many ways to own a domain name like, shared web hosting, where a single server is capable of hosting more than one site. Dedicated web hosting, its required if your website is big and needs to be safe, reliable and fast, and Re seller web hosting, its an easy way to start an income and to generate sufficient revenue to expand one's business.. Choose what best suits your requirements and go ahead with your business plan.

It is always the best option to register your domain with a two year validity, this shows your seriousness regarding your business plan. DOT-COM is the most popular and most searched among all. Try for it first but don’t feel low if you can’t get it with your desired name selections. There are endless options served on your online platter, and everyone is invited in the virtual world. So go ahead, think something exceptional, search it, get it registered and bask in the glory of recognition.

7 Best Finance Apps for iPad

Here are  seven apps that you should try if you have just bought  yourself an  iPad. They are better  than any of the iPhone versions  because they have larger displays, they  are easier to read  and some of them have  more functions. Some  of  them  are just  iPad apps and some are also available on the iPhone and Android. The apps are in no particular order because they each do different things.

7 Best Finance Apps for iPad

1. PowerOne Finance Calculator

This is an RPN and algebraic calculator, and is good if you work within the finance field. It can help you to work out ROI, and do various types of conversions. It allows you to calculate compound growths, profit margins, auto loans, depreciation, etc. You can also see the data as graph for better understanding.

2. Easy Books

This app is handy if you have to maintain a lot of accounts at once. If you are self-employed you may have to manage different accounts, and it is unlikely that any of them start and finish at the same time. This app can go some way to synchronizing your efforts so that you do not accidentally come up short on one of your accounts or budgets. This is an app that is good at making accounting tasks a little easier, and is great for people who do not like the Sage program.

3. PocketMoney

This is a personal financial manager app that is very easy to use. It looks great and has a fairly simple function. It has a “budget bar” panel with which you can see a visual representation of your budget. You are able to see if you are draining one of your budgets in the same way you may check a car for petrol. This is a good single-glance app, because it shows you (in one glance) just how much of your budget you have left.

4. The Wall Street Journal

This is a finance app that allows you to read the Wall Street Journal. It is a financial newspaper which is similar to the British Financial Times newspaper. This app allows you to read the paper with a very high quality display. It is not a text-to-screen job, because they have put a lot of attention into making the pages seem pleasant and readable. It also has interactive pages, slideshows, videos and pictures too.

5. Account Tracker

This is a budgeting tool that you can use to manage your expense accounts with consummate ease. It allows you to track how you are spending your money and how much of your budget you have left. It is very good for taking a quick glance at your finances every now and again. The app is very customizable so that you can change and adjust it to your specific needs. You

can set up things such as alerts that will tell you if you have overdrawn or have gone over your budget.

6. PayPal

There are a lot of apps that allow you to access your PayPal account, and as you may imagine, there is one for the iPad. The PayPal app is good for gaining access to your account so that you can check your balance, upload and withdraw money. It is also good for receiving money that is in a different currency, as you can change it right there and then. PayPal also have a very quick withdrawal time if you have a business account and are a regular user. PayPal acts as a very good intermediate, which people should use if they do not want to keep giving away their card details to websites.

7. Bloomberg for iPad

This is also an iPhone app that you can use to look at stocks and shares. The iPad version is better than the iPhone version because the interface is bigger and subsequently easier to use. It allows you to take a closer look at an awful lot of information in one go. It is good for experts and amateurs. It is also very well presented and very good at its job.

8 Amazing Tips to Speed Up Your Android Phone

Android phones are quite powerful these days, but there are still people who wish their phones were a little faster. It may be that they purchased an economy phone that does not have much process power or the phone may be outdated, or the phone may be so loaded down with apps and programs that it has slowed the phone down. Whatever the reason is, it is important to try to speed your phone up again. Here are a few ways that you may do so.

How to Speed Up Your Android Smartphone

1. Think about using a different launcher

Think about using a home alternative. There are quite a few third party launchers out there that you can use. They are an alternative to the launcher that comes with the Android. The Android home is quite complex and takes up a fair amount of memory, RAM and processor power. A third party launcher offers a strip down all of these functions, so that you are just presented with a simple launching program.

2. Lower your settings on your phone

The home page (home/home screen) may often have its settings lowered to a level that requires less processor power or memory. It is like when you play PC games and you lower the graphics so that you can play the game without it getting jerky. A similar thing may be done with an Android in many cases.

3. Turn off the animations on your Android

The animations are the little things that happen whenever you do something on your Android, such as when you open a tab or an app. These animations are there for no other reason than to look pretty. People are averse to computing software working for them, without a little bit of a preamble first. This may be removed so that the animations no longer appear. You may disable the animations on the screen, and here is how you do it: 

Settings > Display > Animation. 

Doing this is both pragmatic and will improve your Android performance.

4. Disable the plugin browser 

This is another thing you can do to increase the speed of your Android. It removes yet another element that slowly sucks your processor power and memory. It is a little drag factor that you may remove. Here is how you do it: 

Open Browser > Settings > Plugins.

5. Do not use live wallpaper

It looks pretty and it makes using your Android a little more interesting, but it does have a drag factor on the performance of your Android phone. So, it is better if you do not use live wallpaper.

6. Clear out your apps every now and again

Uninstall any applications that are not used anymore (unless they cost you a lot of money). If you have apps that you use very infrequently (maybe such as a currency converter), but that was also free, you should delete it. If you need the free app then you can just download it. Removing apps will free up some memory space. Memory usage will affect your Androids performance. Imagine that your Android OS is a librarian, and the apps are books in the Library. If there are fewer books then the librarian will find your Where’s Wally books faster.

7. Replace your heavy apps with lighter ones

Your apps will take up a certain amount of processor power and memory. Some apps are far slower than others, so uninstall the applications that consume too much memory and replace them with others that have the same function but consumes less. There are apps on the android Market whose coding is not optimized which makes them run slower. Find the ones that are better-optimized (have “tighter code” if you wish to use programmer parlance). Heavy apps (ones that use lots of processor power and memory) may often be loaded with features that you never even use. You may find other apps out there that do less and yet still have all the features you need.

8. Remove or turn off background apps

Some of these will run without your knowledge. Which means it may be time to have a good look at what your Android is actually up to. For example, many people leave their GPS on in the background without realizing it is drinking their processor power and memory.

Seeking an Alternative to Facebook Messenger? Look No Further than Chit Chat

Over the past three years Facebook has extended its dominance of social networking from that of being a medium of news and picture exchange to web-based chatting, more commonly known as instant messaging.

So quick has Facebook managed to establish Facebook chat as a dominant network that it has caught many of the established players such as AIM, MSN Messenger and Digsby off guard. In fact they have been caught so far off guard that these networks are now shadows in terms of popularity of their former selves. Indeed, MSN Messenger is closing down next month (May 2013).

Using the Facebook Chat Network

Whilst Facebook chat is indeed a dominant chat network, and Facebook does now offer the ability to chat on your desktop there are alternatives to the Facebook Messenger program.

There are many reasons as to why you might want to change from using Facebook’s own desktop Messenger application:

• Signing in problems: Often due to the “web” phrasing connection nature strategy of the Facebook Messenger application, sign in problems can and do occur.  

• Privacy concerns: Now that Facebook has become stock market listed there is a growing pressure to monetize apps to a greater extent to achieve greater share-holder value year on year. There is a conflict in interest between the Facebook users and the Facebook shareholders. 

• Advertisement intrusion: Even though at the time of writing Facebook Messenger is free of advertising, we’ve found that Facebook has with no notice randomly added advertising in various places of their online assets once market dominance has been established. 

• Missing features: Though Facebook Messenger does indeed offer the utility that you would expect from a Messenger application – chatting, there are many features such as auto-responding, text formatting and status changing that you may feel like you are missing out on from your desktop.

Chit Chat for Facebook is an independently developed desktop Facebook Messenger download that connects to the Facebook chat network. This unofficially developed application includes some features that many have come to expect from instant messenger networks over the years including status change notifications and a tabbed instant messenger interface.

More recently the developers of this Facebook messenger download have included a clever chat history database system which makes it easy to find messages that were sent a long time ago.

Advantages That Chit Chat Provides Over Facebook Messenger

• Robust Connection: This Facebook Messenger alternative offers two methods by which it connects to Facebook chat, if one doesn’t work the system will automatically try the second methodology. This is all in the background of course. 

• Sign In Notifications: This clever chat app lets you know when your Facebook friends and foes have logged in and out with a toast bar in the bottom right hand side. 

• Database Chat History: Facebook’s chat history isn’t exactly the easiest to sift through online. If storing your conversations is important to you, then you’ll love what Chit Chat has to offer. 

Independently Developed– There is a growing area of concern over the dominance of Facebook in the area of social networking and the extent of personal data and information with which Facebook have access to. Including a Facebook application on one’s computer offer an additional opportunity for Facebook to connect personal information that you have elected to share with information that you have not explicitly opted to share. Chit Chat being independently developed mitigates this issue.

Video Conferencing Can Transform Your Business

Video conferencing is the real time audio-visual communication between different individuals taking part in a meeting, using the internet system, computer and the video camera or web camera. This has become the part and parcel of contemporary business for communication between offshore and onsite people and obviously with the clients. The communication through video conferencing has saved time and effort in many aspects of the business in following way:

How Video Conferencing can Transform Your Business?

It has Increased Productivity across dispersed workspace

One of the main challenges of today’s business is dispersed team and employees over different locations which make the work synchronization difficult. Video conferencing has a dynamic aspect of communication since it allows the members to talk to each other as well as to share the information which was not possible in local meetings previously. This has enabled the employees of an organisation to take faster decision and the delivery or launching of the product has become much simple now.

It Saves Time and Money!

The need for face to face conferencing has been reduced after the introduction of video conferencing. This has reduced time and money needed for travel. People from different countries and time-zone can actually take part in a web-meeting in their convenient time and multiple personnel from different countries can join the same conference from their respective locations. The companies are able to save the travel-cost and hotel fare, which they can utilise for other purposes. 

Improves Communication and Strengthens Relationships

Video conferencing enables the attendee to see each others’ body language and facial expression during the meeting, which are important aspect of communication that was missing in telephonic conversation. This technology is also successful in reinforcing the bond between the colleagues and the customers, who are located in the remote areas, and had no chance to meet otherwise. This is definitely a better way of improving business relationship.
 

It has Improved the Process of Hiring New Employees

It is not easy to hire employees from different locations, as hiring process can be very lengthy and expensive. Organisations that have the facility of video conferencing, can conduct the interview over video for the candidates who are distantly located. This will save the time and money required for the arrangement of bringing the candidate to the nearest facility. One can also record the video interviews for later analysis and comparison with other candidates. Increased use of video conferencing technology has reduced the necessity of travel and thus improved the work/life balance. Video conferencing also contributes in employee retention, for example, when the employee wants to leave the company, the HR can have a discussion about his grievance and might try to solve it over the web-conference, if the employee is located in distant office.

Video conferencing is obviously an environment-friendly technology that allows less travel and less expense. This tool is a powerful way to build a sustained relationship among the partners, clients and employees of different teams, especially if they are located distantly. 

The success of a business depends greatly on two things – decision making skills and time taken for executing your solutions. Now this is where the importance of video conferencing lies. For any business, it is essential to have a form of communication that allows you to communicate with your whole team. It is considered worth an investment and that too in the recent globalised economy.

Sony Xperia Z vs HTC One - Head to Head Battle

These are just the early months of the year 2013. And as we all are aware that these early months of 2013 have been one of the hottest months in the smartphone market. As a matter of fact, we have already seen a lot of flagships from all the best manufacturers of Android (to be specific). And apart from Android, we have also seen a great hit from RIM, the Blackberry Z10.

  
Also See: HTC One X vs Apple iPhone 4S : A Quick Comparison
 
However, today, we have compared one of the two major Android devices, the HTC One and the Sony Xperia Z. Which means that after reading the script further, you will be discovering that which device is better – Sony Xperia Z or the HTC One.

Sony Xperia Z vs HTC One

1. Processor

We will first be looking at the processor of the HTC One and the Sony Xperia Z. The HTC One has an impressive 1.7 GHz processor with 4 cores (quad-core), and this type of processor will indeed give you fast and accurate user experience. On the other hand, the Sony Xperia Z has a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor which will also provide its user fast and fluent user experience. So the thing is that the Sony Xperia Z is only slightly behind the HTC One over here, however, it is also worth adding that Sony Xperia Z can’t be criticized on this point.

2. RAM

Now let us come to the ram of these devices – the HTC One has a RAM of 2GB and same is the case with the Sony Xperia Z as it also encloses a 2 GB RAM behind its aluminium covers.

3. Screen Size and Pixel Density

Up till now, the HTC One is one step ahead of the Sony Xperia Z however; there will be a few ups and downs in the lead over here. The screen size of the HTC One is 4.7 inch and the screen size of the Xperia Z is 5 inch. This means that the Sony Xperia Z has drawn the lead gained by HTC One lately. But, here comes the sad part again for the Sony Xperia Z lovers because the Pixel density of the HTC One (469ppi) is greater than the pixel density of the Sony Xperia Z (441ppi). So as a footnote to this field, I would like to add that the HTC One is again on a 1-0 lead from the Xperia Z.

4. Camera

Now here comes one of the most (perhaps) awaited part of the comparison because Camera battles between smartphones are hot off the press these days. So coming back to the point now – the HTC One has a 4 MP rear facing camera and the Sony Xperia Z has a 13.1 Mega Pixel rear-facing Camera, so it can now be said that the Sony Xperia Z has again cancelled out the lead of the HTC One.

5. Internal Memory

Although the competition is at the moment at an equal stage but internal memory will somewhat change it. The Xperia Z has 16 GB version available only where as the HTC One is again getting the lead by having a choice of 32 GB and 64 GB version.

Results

This was a tough comparison, Both the smartphones were good and have different plus points. However both of them have some limitations too, The phrase Nobody is perfect applies here, Now you have to choose which one suits you more, Some people will go for Xperia Z while some will be happy with HTC One, No matter what device you choose, The thing which matters is that you are fully satisfied with it. By posting comparisions, We only intend to point out the advantages and disadvantages of the devices. So I don't think picking a winner is important.

Just to make things simple, I'm again pointing out some of the best and worst features of these devices.

Sony Xperia Z

• 1.5GHz Quad Core, 2GB RAM
• 5 inch Display (~441ppi)
• 13.1 Megapixel Camera
• Water resistant (upto 30 minutes in 1 meter)

HTC One

• 1.7GHz Quad Core, 2GB RAM
• 4.7 inch Display (469ppi)
• 4 Megapixel Camera

However If I have to choose any of these devices then I will definitely go for Sony Xperia Z and the reason is that it suits me and I'll be satisfied with it. Now it's your call

How I Met the Sun! - Neutrogena IndiBlogger Meet

A few days ago, I received an email from the IndiBlogger team in which they announced a bloggers meet, The Neutrogena IndiBlogger Meet which was to be held in the city of bollywood, Mumbai. As it was my first blogger meet, I was very excited for it. I immediately registered myself for the meet and was waiting eagerly for the day to come. 

Neutrogena IndiBlogger Meet

Date: April 07, 2013

Place: JW Marriott Hotel, Mumbai

Time: 1:30 pm to 6:00 pm

Finally the day came and I was really excited for it, I woke up early and started getting ready for the event. The location of the event was 18-20 km away from my house and I took BEST bus to reach there. After an hour of travel by bus, I reached Juhu Bus Depot and from there I started searching for rickshaw which could take me to the hotel (Almost 5 years had past since last I visited Juhu, So I was not knowing much about the area), I had a nice view over Juhu Beach which looked calm and blue but I was running out of time, It was already 1:30 pm and I was still searching for rickshaw. Finally I got one and I boarded it quickly, After a 5 minute ride, I was standing outside the location, JW Marriott Hotel.

Entering JW Marriott

I entered the gate and a few guards were standing there, I asked them the way for IndiBlogger meet and finally got a direction to head to. After a couple of security checks, I entered the Hotel lobby and there I saw a giant door which read "Grand Sangam Ballroom", The door was wide open and I saw many young people there, It took me less than a second to realize that this is it. I entered the Ballroom and was welcomed by the IndiBlogger team, A guy from the team showed me the way to Registration counters, There a girl (also from the team) asked me to enter my email address (The email which I use to login to IndiBlogger), After entering the email address, the registration process was complete and I was told to move to next counter, Where another young girl was standing, She asked me to write my name on a tiny cocktail umbrella (I've been told that it was a part of game which was going to take place at the event). 

After completing everything, I took a seat on one of the tables which were arranged by the IndiBlogger team. Since this was my first meet, I was not knowing any one over there. The Ballroom was well decorated, 'IndiBlogger' Style, The Stage had a Big picture of Prachi Desai in the background (I think she is the brand ambassador of Neutrogena), There were two big screens on each side of the stage where Tweets by bloggers were being displayed. I too tweeted with hashtag, just wanted to see my name on the screen :)

Soon a few guys joined me and took a seat near me, we introduced ourselves, shared each others blog URLs etc. I was not knowing much about the meet, though I had a little idea which I got by reading blog posts about previous meets and by seeing the Agenda given by IndiBlogger. We were now waiting for the event to start, It was 2:00 pm but the team was still busy with registration counters. After a few minutes the event finally began. 

Just the Beginning

One of the IndiBlogger guy delivered a Welcome Speech and briefly talked about the events which were going to take place. The speaker went through the three rules of IndiBlogger meet and they were... First, No one will sit with the people they're already sitting with. Second, Every table should have at least two boys and two girls, And Third Rule was that there is no third rule (lol) "Actually it was just a joke, So please don't comment and ask about it" I'm very bad at explaining jokes with my writing :(

So as the rules said, We had to change our table and find some new people, Everyone was walking here and there finding a place. Instead of walking here and there, I remained seated and after a few minutes, some boys and girls came there and joined me, Again we started introducing ourselves to each other and were happy to make new friends, The IndiBlogger rules were made to encourage people to interact with other bloggers and get to know each other.

Games & Fun Activities

The Moment Under the Sun!

So when the crowd was seated, The host talked about the games and other things, A female host showed up and took over.Soon she explained, Why we were made to write our names on tiny umbrellas. Actually it was a game, Every blogger has to choose a random umbrella from all, It was obvious that the umbrella you'll get would have some other bloggers name on it, So our mission was to find that blogger, know more about him and report to the host, The first five people to do that will win cool prizes. Everyone was excited, On hearing Go, everybody rushed here and there in search the bloggers. I was having hard time finding the umbrella blogger when I heard a guy calling my name, "Jimmie". I looked back and he came to me and started asking different questions like "What is my Blog about?" and "What is My Blog URL" etc. I think he really wanted to win the game :P

So after some time when everyone settled on their places, It was the time when we have to say whatever we learned about the umbrella blogger. So randomly names started appearing on the big screen and we have to get up when we see the name of the blogger (which was on the tiny umbrella) and then publicly speak whatever we learned about him, The bloggers giving more information about umbrella bloggers got cool prizes (one of which were 'Soul by Ludacris' headphones). So this continued for 45 more minutes and many people won prizes, I didn't get a chance here :(

Group Formation

So next we were all divided in different groups and there was a game, Each group have to think of a cool name and have to create an anthem, the twist was that the group name and anthem should contain the word sun or something related to sun. It was fun!, everybody was busy with their group members, everyone was trying to think the best name for their group. So we were given 5 minutes and after that all the groups have to stand up and sing their anthem. This was a funny round, every group sang their anthems one group at a time, I was not very happy with the performance of our group and the reason was the anthem, the anthem our leader chose was some devotional song and nobody was knowing the lyrics.

One of the groups played smart and used the popular song 'Give me some sunshine' from 3 idiots movie but unfortunately the judges were smarter :D There was tie between group 1 and group 2 and since i was in group 3, we lost.

Defend the Balls with Umbrellas

Now it was time for the next game, In this game all groups participated (2 groups at a time) So the rules of the game was; First Group A will throw smiley balls at Group B and Group B will defend the ball using Umbrellas then both the teams will switch sides, The aim was to defend as many balls as we could. It wasn't as Easy as it sounded! The twist was that the umbrellas we were using for defense had big holes :O

So the game started and all groups participated sportingly. Our group won the round but unfortunately the game was won by group 6. Each member of group 6 got a cool 'Soul by Ludacris' headphones; While they were celebrating their victory, I was trying not to get jealous of them ;)

Snack Time!

After all the fun, At around 4 pm, we were given a tea break and snacks were served. The Snacks were delicious! there were two different corners for veg and non-veg snacks, the tea was amazing!!! During the break we interacted with other people and made some friends. I met a blogger named Arpan from t4tricks.in, We clicked some pictures at the venue and were waiting for the break to get over.

Meeting Tara Sharma :)

After the break, the event started again. We were shown clip from a New show called 'The Tara Sharma Show', It was the season 2, This show is actually a video diary of Bollywood actress Tara Sharma, In which she shows her daily adventures with her kids (Zen & Kai) as they grow up. The first season of this show was a Success and now she is back with Season 2.

Tara Sharma was invited to the IndiBlogger Meet, She was wearing a bright yellow dress and looked gorgeous. She stepped on the stage and said a few words about her show and Neutrogena products, After that people started asking her questions and she answered them well. This questionnaire continued for some more time and after that she left the venue bidding good bye. After this event I learned many new things about Tara; 1) she is a blogger 2) she uses Neutrogena products (which i thought was a promotional thing) and 3) She finds pronouncing Dermatologist difficult, which I thought was funny and 4th one was !?! let me think....Ahh forget it

Why Neutrogena Products are Better than Others?

So after Tara Sharma left, A Dermatologist showed up. I think his name was Dr. Parekh. He explained us the importance of Sunscreen lotion and what things we should check before buying a Sunscreen lotion. I learned many things which i was not knowing before, It was fun. The Doctor also showed us a UV experiment in which he compared Neutrogena with other leading products, I was surprised to see the results! The sunscreens of leading brands were not so good at UVA protection whereas Neutrogena gave full protection from both UVA and UVB rays. 

After that people started questioning the Dermatologist about Sunscreens and other skin products. During this questionnaire, I learned many new things like; We should not only go for SPF but should also check if the product provides protection fron UVA. I learned that when swimming using Water Resistant sunscreens we should reapply the sunscreen after every 30-40 minutes or else we'll lose the protection. 

Twitter Contest... And the Winner is....

At the Start of the meet, We've been told about a Twitter Contest which was going to held there. In this contest, We have to tweet with #Neutrogena and the tweet topic was 'Under the sun', So everyone present there was eligible for the contest and there was no limit for the entries. So At the end of the event, The winner was announced. The winner was a Girl who got a Nokia Lumia 620 Smartphone (Of Course I was jealous :D)

Concluding with Harlem Shake

As we moved to the end, Everybody was doing Harlem shake to be a part of the viral video. Then a Group shot was clicked, After a great event now it was the time we bid farewell. 

The Group Shot

Everybody got a Gift Hamper from Neutrogena which was a Complete Sun Protection kit which also contained a 4GB USB Drive. Everybody also got a cool IndiBlogger T-Shirt which said 'Indian By Birth, Blogger By Choice' 

So overall the Meet was amazing and I had lots of fun. I interacted with many bloggers, Learned different things and had a great time at JW Marriott. This was an epic afternoon and I'm looking forward to be the part of other Meets. Till then... Good Luck!
