technical-blog.jpgFor quite a time, i have been on blogging both social and technical stuff in a same Blog, I always wanted to start a technical blog. I reserved this name long back.

Why about WEB 2.0 ?
I concentrate more on this, it is not that, this blog wont have anyother articles, it will have, but as WEB 2.0 is my passion, i wil concentrate more on this. The key areas of focus will be AJAX, CSS, JSON, OOJS, UI and OpenSource including Frameworks. Hope this step works out.
