b2logs Update

June 24, 2008

Heres an update of what’s going on with b2logs!

After our launch, the website has been slowly picking-up with more and more visitors each day. The team is still marketing hard and we have had success.

A few days ago, I was interviewed by Miki Saxon of Leadership Turn. Miki Saxon runs a popular blog on leadership and it’s featured in the management section of b2logs. I had the honor of being interviewed by one of the most intelligent minds on leadership. During our conversation I learned many things on management, leadership, and communication. You can view the interview on her blog.

Here is a screenshot of that interview:

Edit: Since this post, the interview has also been translated into Spanish and featured on a popular student website: http://www.destudio.com.co/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=356

Thanks a ton to: Alejandro Moreno Azcárate

Moving on, recently I contacted Timothy Ferris (author of 4 hour work week). This is what I wrote:

Hey Tim,

I want to say I really enjoyed your book and I love your blog. I am a 16-year old high school student living in Canada. I have recently started my own company, KarmaDesignStudio.com. I have been working hard developing strategies for a successful and stress-free life.

I was so inspired by your work, I created a tool to help people with information overflow. My tool is b2logs.com a website for business professionals to get the latest news fast with a quick scan through the top 10 blogs in each category. Please check out my website: b2logs.com and let me know what you think.

Thank you so much for the 4 hour work week. Ram

And this was the response from Tim:

Hi Ram! I’m inspired that you’ve taken such a head start at 16! I like B2logs.com. Nice design. I might suggest only displaying the top 2-3 posts from each blog, though, with a “more posts” link below them. Just a thought to cut down on any visual overload. Keep it up! Pura vida :) Tim

Tim had a great response and I will test to see if I can implement his suggestion. This might not sound like a big deal, but it means so much from a person who I think of as a role-model.

In conclusion, the blog has been doing great and we have a few dedicated readers - check out the # of readers in the newsletter sign-up box - and the response to some of our articles have been awesome! The team has been making constant improvements to the website. Some of the things we are currently working are:

  • Desktop version of b2logs.com
  • Job listings website
  • Added features to our website such as bookmarking of individual articles

Plus, I am planning on moving to a new server, I’m currently looking at media temple as a possible server provider.

So, thats about it, if there is anything else you would like to see on the website, let us know!

Stay Tuned,

Ram Sharma
