by MAHESH MOHAN on September 3, 2018

First Published: September 26, 2016; Last Updated: Monday, September 3, 2018.

Amazon ($AMZN) is the largest retailer on the web. I’m not an Amazon fanatic but I like to shop online (or on Amazon). And I believe Amazon will become a lot more bigger than what it is today.

For me Amazon was all about online shopping and shopping only until a few years go, and then I came to know about its dominance in the cloud computing space.

That’s how I became curious and made a plan to list all its products and services and app (or this very blog post).

So today, I’m listing all the products and services and apps by Amazon. And I will be updating this article as they launch more products and services.

Long-Form Content vs. Short-Form Content: The Ultimate Comparison With Pros & Cons

by MAHESH MOHAN on August 28, 2018

Long-Form Content vs. Short-Form Content

Long-form content (especially long-form articles and blog posts) is currently trending on the web among brands and bloggers because they’re proven to bring more search engine and social media traffic.

However, long-form content is not something new. They existed as e-books, whitepapers, guides, etc. for a very long time. It’s just that now it’s everywhere — on blogs, e-zines, news portals, etc.

That said, it’s also true that our attention spans are getting shorter — thanks to smartphones and social networks. Long-form content possibly gained its traction among bloggers because of the Google Panda algorithm update because it started rewarding high-quality content and penalized low-quality content (mainly content farms).

Now what’s high-quality and what’s low-quality? Well, it depends and varies. [Read more…] about Long-Form Content vs. Short-Form Content: The Ultimate Comparison With Pros & Cons

Note: This blog post is an updated version of 7 Blogging Years. 7 Blogging Lessons. 7 Blogging Tips. (published 4 years and 100 blog posts ago).

Yes, that’s right! It’s the 11th Blogoversary of Minterest. I started Minterest (minterest.com) as a personal finance blog in 2006, and later in August 2007, I started blogging about “Money, Internet, Investing” (yes, that was the first tagline of Minterest and now it’s — tech. marketing. mashups.).

To be honest it was literally “Just another WordPress site” and I was simply rehashing topics that were of “My interest“. But there was one thing… I was learning. And the transition from Blogger.com to WordPress.org is simply amazing.

I started creating blogs on Blogger.com back in 2004 and was treating it like a simple publishing tool. I guess the reason why it didn’t impress or motivate me much was its inability to customize things the way I wanted.

When I tried WordPress I liked almost all of its aspects and found out that I liked coding as well. Oh yeah, I’m a software engineer by education but it is not the coding that inspired me — it’s the magic in “technology”. Thanks to Microsoft.

Coming back…

I’m going to feature here 11 blogging lessons and tips that I have… learned, realized, or experienced in one way or the other over the past many, many years.

How To Create Custom Search Engines In Google Chrome To Boost Productivity

by MAHESH MOHAN on March 15, 2018

Google Chrome’s Omnibox (or the address bar) is not something new to you and me.It allows us to navigate to a webpage or search the web from the address bar. And yeah, it even acts as a search engine to browse your own search and Chrome browsing history.

But did you know that it’s much more than just an address bar? That it can easily boost your productivity by helping you create and add your own custom search engines?

If you’re a Web 2.0 fanatic then I’m pretty sure that you often use the search engines by the popular (and biggest) web 2.0 sites like Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc. But the problem is, every time you want to use its search feature, you have to actually visit those websites and then use its search function.

Of course, Google Chrome automatically adds all those custom search engines when you visit those websites (even if you don’t want to). That is, when you visit Amazon.com and uses its search engine, Chrome automatically adds a custom Amazon search to its list of search engines.

Like this:

Google Chrome Custom Search Engines (Auto Generated)

It’s a nice feature, right? Well, not necessarily. The problem arises when you need tailored search results and a custom shortcut key (or known as the keyword in Google Chrome’s custom search engines).

Over 61 Elon Musk Quotes That’ll Inspire You To Dream Big

by MAHESH MOHAN on March 4, 2018

Elon Musk

Elon Musk. Tesla. SpaceX. The future.

Future thinker Elon Musk is undoubtedly one of the best inventors of our times. He dreams big, invest his own money in whatever he builds and accepts failure too. He rules the tech space by thinking out of the box just like Henry Ford once did with motor cars.

These are the companies founded/co-founded by Elon Musk

PayPal
SpaceX
Tesla
SolarCity
Hyperloop
OpenAI
Neuralink
The Boring Company

I’m a hardcore user of PayPal but I didn’t know anything about Elon Musk until I come across the term “PayPal Mafia”. “PayPal Mafia” is a term used to indicate a group of former PayPal employees and founders who have since founded and developed additional technology companies.

I was super-impressed, when I realized that some of the best dot com companies were in one way or the other founded/co-founded by the “PayPal Mafia”. It includes YouTube, LinkedIn, Yammer, Yelp, Facebook, Digg, Flickr, Technorati, Reddit, Xoom, and so on. In fact, the PayPal Mafia plays an important role in the rise of Web 2.0.
