Launch of New Title Labels

I shall today launch new labels on the title of my posts:

1. Site News
2. Quick Events
3. Quick Event Cover
4. Business Events
5. Business News
6. Business Talk

Why Title labels? Just like what a title should do, it should give you enough information to let you decide whether you want to read the article. This is a function that will help readers choose the content they want to read. Read on to find out the various labels we have launched today.

Site News informs you about any news from me, site improvements and any site information I'd like you to know.

Quick Events informs you of upcoming events that I periodically receive via my business networks. I may not of course cover everything but will definitely post those which I find interesting.

Quick Events Cover gives you a quick coverage of events that I attended. I often have the opportunity to attend numerous private and public meetings. These posts will give you a quick rundown of these events. You might find some things which are meaningful.

With Business Events, I'd be giving a more indepth discussion on business events I've attended. I'd likely draw out some ideas or products or services that I see interesting and bring out an issue for discussion.

Business News will be indepth discussions on interesting news I find on the net and other media.

Business Talk will be about discussions I have had with other people whom I find it beneficial for us to learn from.

Now, with a quick glance on the title, you can see that the Quick Series are informational in nature, while the Business Series are more discussion-like. I feel that this is a good journalistic practice, something which I'd encourage you to do the same or similar with your own entries. I've not seen anyone done it so far, so it's good for us to start a good trend.

Alright, happy reading!

1000 words limit

From today onwards, I shall be self-imposing a 1000 words limit to all of my posts. The reason is simple - no one reads long articles. It is also a good journalistic practice to suit the reading habits of readers.

In general, my articles will either be long or short, ie. within 1000 words for a long article and within 500 words for a short article.

The effect is good news for you. You’ll now only take about 8-10 minutes to read a long article, and 4-5 minutes to read a short article.

Happy reading!
