A new beginning of DesiNotes

Some weeks ago, I was visiting Desinotes for my very first time. Although the creator of the blog, Sunny, has been running his blog for a while now, I had never heard about it before John Chow wrote a review of his blog. Desinotes impressed me from the very beginning. Sunny had ordered several reviews from popular blogs, to get his name out. This was a rather expensive move, but it worked. This is why I am really surprised to see his latest posts, about selling his blog. This is really a mystery to me. I have written about this before, and now I am doing it again.

Desinotes was often updates up to 2 & 3 times daily, so he definitely spent a lot of time, blogging. It is understandable, he cannot keep doing this every day. And because of this he decided to sell his blog to the highest bidder, starting at only $200. A lot of bloggers tend to think this way about blogging frequency. Daily update is a must. As I have mentioned earlier, this might be the case, if your blog is your main source of income. But for all the rest of us, there is absolutely no reason to worry so much about this aspect. New posts should be written, when ever we have something valuable to share. Hopefully Sunny will start up a new blog, whenever he has time enough to do so.

However, desinotes.com is still alive. Sunny decided to sell his blog to this guy Vinay Kumar. Hopefully he can keep the blog going. Although it’s only been a few days, Vinay has already made a few posts. Something which annoys me a bit, is that everything looks the same as before. There is still a picture of Sunny on the front page, and the “about page” has not changed either. I even wonder if the email address on the contact page has been changed. I my opinion, these factors should be changed, before anything else. A very positive point is that all the post’s made by Sunny, still is available on the blog. Anyway, let’s give Vinay some time, and it will probably turn out to be a great blog.

    Apparently advertising payed off otherwise he wouldn’t be selling his blog so I think everybody should pay few hundred bucks for reviews in high-traffic blogs if their intent is to sell the blog in future.

    Actually I have thought about bying a few reviews as well. Maybe some day, I will. When I first realized desinotes was for sale, I thought it was another stunt to gain more attention, since this has been used a lot, lately.
    I agree. I think a few hundred bucks easily will be well worth it.
