“What’s Kuzzuk?” A lot of people have asked this question. Admittedly, only 3 people have asked but in my opinion 3s a crowd. I digress…
A Brief History
For those of you who do not know me. I’m from India but I don’t have the typical Indian look (whatever that is). Yes, I do get stopped [...]

Posted by Dipankar Subba as Search Engine Marketing
On the 5th of November 2006, Advertising Age released Search Marketing Fact Pack 2006 but I didn’t have the chance to read it. I finally got around to read the document on Christmas Day (yes, that’s what holidays are for) and I found parts of it to be useful and informative.
The Fact Pack has [...]
Damn, I sound like a motivational speaker.
The reality is that almost everyone dreams of being successful even though the definition of success is unique to each individual. But few actually reach the pinnacle and most flounder. Why? Someone wise said that if you ask the right questions, you’ll get the right answers. In this [...]
A must-watch, no kidding, it is best rendition of “12 Days of Christmas” (for the karaoke freaks, lyrics can be found below the video). I saw this video first at a friend’s blog. It is by BoyMongoose and drop by to meet the band members behind this lovely rendition.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas to everyone. [...]
OK. I admit. I sometimes do vanity searches on Google. Oh, come on, admit it, you do it too. This time around, I was mildly amused by one particular link to my blog.
I found out that my post on the lack of Singaporeans in BusinessWeek’s Asia’s young entrepreneurs list was politicized on this blog. [...]
If you want your website or blog to be visible on search engines, do not use mass submitters. Instead just submit to the top 3 search engines. In my experience, they drive more than 90% of the traffic so why spend lots of time chasing after the remaining 10%. However, do submit to search engines [...]
Not the insect but the sport!
I am pretty happy today as India’s doing well in their first cricket Test match against South Africa after being badly trashed in the one-day games. I hope my joy is not short-lived as that’s a feeling I have experienced quite a lot in the past caused by my [...]

14 Dec
Posted by Dipankar Subba as Entrepreneurism
We all love lists, don’t we? OK, I love lists and maybe it is just me but BusinessWeek released an interesting list of Asia’s Best Young Entrpreneurs and surprise surprise there is not even one Singaporean in the list. On the other hand, Hong Kong that is comparable to Singapore in many ways have three [...]
I have not been the one to set goals as usually I take things one day at a time. There are many reasons why I did not set goals seriously, mainly, because it’d make me look like a failure if it didn’t achieve them. However, now I do think goal-setting is powerful and without trying [...]
***Bragging Begin***
Today, I want to feel good about myself and so I figured that a little bragging would help. Bear with me, I’m going to revisit the past.
At the end of last year, I read a wonderful book, A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink. I really identified with his views on how the [...]

I attended a talk at SMU by Cory Ondrejka, CTO of Linden Labs, creators of the extremely popular (it is not a game) Second Life. It was an engaging and informative talk but as expected he had his biases. He tried to sell Second Life as a cheap way to venture into being an entrepreneur, [...]
