To all those bloggers who believe they write well, here's a chance to prove yourself. Srijan writes about the TFA Creative Writing Awards. Unfortunately, we're almost out of time ; their deadline is the 10th of November. However they do let you mail your entries in. Lots of money to be made people ! Read more here.

Hat Tip : err.. didn't I just say Srijan ??

That quirky little search engine, YaGoohoo!gle is no more. Like so many other good things, the corporates shut it down. In case you dont know what it is, then you've never bothered with the links section on my blog. Dont try it now, you're too late now. If you haven't been reading, it shutdown !

It has however been replaced by something called Twingine. Equally good.. Infact its the same thing, Yahoo and surprisingly Google too made them change its name. What it does basically is that it gives you search results from Yahoo and Google on the same page. As a side effect it also shows how horribly pathetic Yahoo search is as compared to Google. Good tp, because it comes with a Firefox plugin, a search box for your website and for you lucky bastards using Tiger; a desktop widget.
