Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Blogging and User Generated Content (UGC) are the current mantras of the day but it has a lot of noise (many times or even most of the times!). I read very awful/rude feedback messages on blogs these days. Just yesterday I read a series of comments about a portal ...
